Adagio Time&Billing 8.1A

May 16, 2008

Compatible with Windows® VistaT.
Compatible with Adagio Lanpak 9.0A. Lanpak must be 9.0A or higher.
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), program files 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.
Fax document image files were created in earlier versions using the Softfax printer driver. This driver is not compatible with Vista. In 8.1A versions, faxing billing documents created with the Specification Designer creates a fax image file directly. The Softrak Softfax driver is no longer used. However, the driver is installed for use by third-party products. Third-party products that use the driver should eventually be updated to support faxing on Vista. Until that time they will continue to be able to fax on XP and earlier versions of Windows. Note that to run the Adagio fax server (Fax/Email | Fax Queue) you must have a 'true' fax card (with an on-board fax chip) rather than a Win Fax modem (which emulates a chip in software).
When switching windows/tasks 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.
The formatting of dates and text sent to Excel from Smart Finder results has been improved.
Adagio Time&Billing supports Adagio Ledger 9.0A. Fields required for future drill-down from Ledger to Time&Billing are included in the GL transaction batch and will be retrieved by Ledger 8.1A and higher.

A 'User defined' field has been added to the G/L Description 'Send to' options in the Company Profile. This allows you to format the G/L Description field sent to the GL using a combination of fields from the invoice / bill, customer and free form text. The following specification codes are supported.

Code	Description
%cst	Customer code
%cnm	Customer name
%cn2	Customer name 2
%ref	Reference (Bills only)
%inv	Invoice document number (Bills only)
%des	Description
%psq	Posting sequence
%bat	Batch number
%ent	Entry number
%don	Docket number
%dnm	Docket name
%stf	Staff member (T&D transactions only)
%src	Source cide (T&D transactions only)
%dis	Disbursement (T&D transactions only)
%os1	Cust Optional string 1
%os2	Cust Optional string 2
%os3	Cust Optional string 3
%od1	Cust Optional date 1
%od2	Cust Optional date 2
%oa1	Cust Optional amount 1
%oa2	Cust Optional amount 2
%ou1	Cust Optional unit 1
%ou2	Cust Optional unit 2

The specification designer toolbar now fits on one rather than 2 lines at most common screen resolutions.
The designer allows you to open specifications by using the spec Title under File | Specification Options. This is the same list of titles displayed in Time&Billing when selecting a document to print, fax or email. Previously you could open the specification by its file name only.
An 'Active item' field has been added to Files (Dockets).
Added the option 'Include batch in G/L description' option to send the batch number and entry to the description to Adagio Ledger.
Adagio Receivables 8.1A added a feature to now allow users to add and edit customer notes but at the same time prevent them from adding, deleting or editing customers. Time&Billing now supports this feature. It uses the security option in Groups in Receivables.
Edit Customer and View Customer now show the 'Active' field available in Adagio Receivables 8.0B and higher.
Transactions could not be consolidated by the Print/Consolidate G/L Transactions function and an error was displayed.
The fax field on a bill stored the phone number instead of the fax number. This prevented the fax number (code C11) from printing on bills.
The Smart Finder did not work on the Customer field if Adagio Receivables 8.0B or higher was installed.
The smart finder did not work on the Email Cover field.
On the Edit Files screen, search by Files did not work and gave an error.
The wrong WIP Account was cleared if multiple, different, Disbursements were billed in a single Bill Line, and the accounting method for Disbursements was by Disbursement.
The Closed File Cross Reference List could not be printed if sorted by 'File number'.
The Hours were not printing correctly on Time/Disbursement History report in some cases.
Batch errors were not indicated on the Billing Batch Listing.
