Adagio SalesCQ 8.1B

March 18, 2011

Compatible with SalesAnalysis 9.0A. Previous versions will not open the database if SA 9.0A data is present.
Compatible with Adagio Inventory 8.1C. In previous versions of SalesCQ adding a new item on the fly while entering quotes caused a data integrity error to be reported in Adagio Inventory.
Added an Excel Direct button to the Scan List and Quote List grid screens.
Added an option to sort transactions in ascending or descending order by date in the edit and view customer functions for Current or Historical transactions (but not for Both). In previous versions, transactions were always sorted ascending. Right-mouse click on the transactions grid to select the sort order.
The customer notes grid in the customer edit and view functions can be sorted to display the most recent notes at the top by right-clicking on the grid and selecting 'Sort Descending'. The selection is remembered.
The customer notes grid in the customer edit and view functions now remembers the 'Sort notes by' selection of User or Date/Time.
In version 8.1B, when emailing, faxing or printing a Mail Merge from the Scan List, a customer/prospect note was not created and integrity errors in the notes files were created. The Data Integrity Check will detect and rebuild these errors.
Specifications with a Type of 'Quote' rather than 'Any' did not show in Specification dropdown list when print quotes.
The Ship To field in Enter Quotes did not accept lowercase codes if Receivables was 8.1A or lower.
Email address fields in quote entry did not allow multiple addresses per field separated by a semi-colon.
When you selected Historical transactions for Receivables on the Transactions tab in edit / view customer, loading the grid was noticeably slow across a network. In addition, if the Transactions tab was the last tab you visited in the customer, the next time you opened a customer it was noticeably slow.
Install Changes
This version moves toward our goal of a more Windows 7 friendly environment for installation. If you are installing to a mapped network drive that is normally accessible, but you cannot see it during the install when attempting to select a drive or folder, you can now install by browsing to the correct folder using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), for example \myserveraccounting. This avoids having to adjust the User Account Control settings, which requires you to restart your computer and temporarily grant Administrative privileges to the user if they are not an administrator.
This version simplifies installation by removing any consideration of the location of the Report Tables Drive (RTD) by the install and program in virtually all cases. Therefore the install no longer prompts for the RTD.
The install writes to the master install log file "AdagioMasterInstall.log" in the softraksystem folder. An entry is written to this log when any full, upgrade or SP for any Adagio module (with a release date of March 2011 or later) is installed. It shows the version installed and the version being replaced, the name of the Windows user who did the install and the rights for that user. An entry is also written to the log when an updated version of the Adagio Data Source (ADS) is installed, showing the version installed and the version being replaced. This log can be used to quickly determine the install history for all Adagio programs.
When you select the 'Backup Files' option during an install, the replaced files are now saved in a subfolder named YYYYMMDD in the BACKUP folder, under the programs destination folder (rather than the BACKUP folder itself, where extensions need to be changed to .001, .002, etc. when there are multiple versions of the same file).
The install includes an option allowing you to skip creating entries under Windows Start for cases where you will be manually creating an icon for the user to start Adagio and do not want them starting from Windows Start. During the install, uncheck the option 'Start Menu programs'. This avoids having to delete or change the Windows Start entry that would have been created.
The install no longer checks the Opportunistic Locking setting (Oplocks) on the workstation.
The Opportunistic Locking setting (Oplocks) on the workstation is no longer checked when the program is started.
The System Status function in the Help menu (chksys.exe) no longer prompts you to disable Oplocks. It displays the current Oplocks setting and allows you to change it. The 'Check R/W Status', 'Check Specific Folder' function now supports UNC browse, whereas before you would have had to turn UAC off to use it.
SetServerForAdagio and SetReportsTablesDrive utilities have been updated. The latter should virtually never be needed at an Adagio site once any Adagio module dated March 2011 or later has been installed.
