Adagio Ledger 8.1A


June 1, 2007


  • Compatible with Windows® VistaT.

  • Compatible with Adagio Lankpaks 8.1A. Lanpaks must be 8.1A for all Adagio 8.1A modules.

  • Smart Finder can now search on multiple criteria.

  • Contents of disabled fields are shown in blue rather than dimmed gray. This may be easier to read on some monitors at higher resolutions.

  • Adagio download files, installs, workstation installs, all workstation install (\softrak\allwkst\allwkst.exe), and the Adagio Check System utility (chksys.exe) are now signed with a digital certificate using VeriSign to allow you to verify the Publisher is Softrak Systems Inc.

  • Vista does not support the old style Windows Help (.HLP files). All .HLP files were converted to compiled HTML help (.CHM files), which are supported by Vista.

  • For security reasons Windows does not permit .CHM help files to be run from a network drive. This is true in XP as well as Vista. The .CHM files must be run from a local drive. Adagio 8.1A installs all .CHM help files to your local hard drive and loads them from there. The workstation install also copies .CHM files to the local drive.

  • When switching window/task in Vista with Alt-Tab or the new Flip 3D (Windows-Tab) an image of the current Adagio screen is shown rather than just the icon of the Adagio program.

  • You can now backup Adagio data in zip form to WebSafe, a web-based storage facility. WebSafe is a service which allows you to store your important information in a secure location that you can access from anywhere in the world. See www.websafe.com for details.

  • Currency symbols other than $ are now supported in reports.

  • The formatting of dates and text containing numbers sent to Excel from Smart Finder results has been improved.

  • The formatting of dates and text containing numbers sent to Excel from the drill down in the Financial Reporter has been improved.

  • Adagio Sub-ledgers are Adagio Ledger 9.0A ready. Fields in 8.1A sub-ledger transaction batches required for future drill-down from Ledger to sub-ledgers are being retrieved now in Ledger 8.1A.

  • Attempting to add a duplicate multi-currency GL account caused integrity errors in the original account, even though the program prevented you from adding the duplicate.

  • Financial Statement Designer:

  • Two new functions =GLFPSD() and =GLFPED() are available that return the fiscal period starting period and fiscal period ending period (respectively) as a date type. The new functions expect a .ColSpec line to determine the specification code. You may apply any of the standard date formatting rules to the cell, or pass the function to =DATESTRING() to specifically format a date (although changes to =GLFPS() and =GLFPE() should minimize the need for this - see below).

  • =GLFPS() and =GLFPE() now take an optional second string parameter to override the default fiscal period date format set in View | Customize. The values in the string are the same as those used in the =DATESTRING() function to format dates according to your requirements. Specification codes exist to display just the year, month or day portion of the date in all formats. Examples of 2nd parameter:

    "MMM" Jan
    "YYYY-MM-DD" 2007-01-01
    "YYYY-MMM-DD" 2007-Jan-01
    "YYYY-MMMMM-DD" 2007-January-01
    "MMMMM DD, YYYY" January 01, 2007

  • Added Column Page Break to the Financial Reporter for better control of pagination when printing statements.

  • An option was added under View|Customize|Settings to force Excel Direct to send values rather than formulas.

  • In version 8.0D (2006.10.20) a new feature allows you to send sends formulas to Excel, not just values. Fixed problems with Excel Direct when using $D, <<, >> and ==.

  • Users with a Departmental Restriction can no longer View or Print Statement Groups, for those groups that reference a department to which they do not have rights.

  • When creating a new financial statement using drag and drop, Use Colspec format is now the default choice.

  • Drill down to Tx Details is now available when using the ColSpec format.

  • Drag and Drop using the ColSpec format "freezes" to top rows of the statement. Printing will include these rows on each page.

  • In some cases, Row Formatting and Zero Suppress when used together did not apply the proper formatting. This has been fixed.

  • Covered cells prevented selecting columns for copy and format. You can now select the column though the cells in the top rows are under a 'Cover'.

  • File\Import Spec was creating a filename with the prefix AF! instead of GL!.

  • You can now duplicate columns from the right-click pop-up menu when a single row is selected.

  • Corrected problem in Excel Direct decimal precision in 8.0D (2006.10.13)
