SimplyPats 6.0.2 Revision History - Updated August 24th 2010

This is the current list of additions and bug fixes for 6.0.2 - there is currently no fixed date when this upgrade will be out. Please contact us if you need an interim beta of it.


Additions

1) If you have Office 2010 installed and you try and create a word document using SimplyPats, if you try and use the Example Body document which is in Word 97 format, an error was produced. This is caused by the Word Trust Center blocking of older Word Format documents. An error trap has now been put in explaining the error. You can solve the problem by relaxing the Word Trust Center settings for older Microsoft Word files, or by creating your own body document in the same version of Microsoft Office that you are using.

2) Added an option on the Quick Select Customer screen to create a Mail Merge Data file. If you have a Word Processing program such as Microsoft Word (tm) you can use the file created from SimplyPats to mail merge a document to your customers.

3) On the import and update data screen, if you chose to update the test results, the testcode used by your PAT Tester wasn't being copied in. (where applicable as not all PAT testers reveal any testcodes). The test code is now copied over.

4) Increased the number of characters description available in the Maintain Extra Charges screen so that longer descriptions can be enetered for invoicing.

5) Added suport for downloading the Metrel GammaPat MI 3311.

6) Added an option to show a graph of the changes in Insulation Resistance, Continuity and Leakage test results over time. This may be useful in showing the possible degradation of insulation of an appliance. This option will only work where you have used unique appliance id's.

7) Added an Not Appicable option (NA) under the fuses drop down. This option may be useful where you are testing appliances without a domestic 13amp plug. The NA option has also been added to the drop down controls on Bulk Selection screens as well.

8) Added a new tick box option in the Print Setup screen (Passes and Fails TAB) to allow the showing of exact test results for Leakage, Sub Leakage, Touch Leakage, Flash and Clamp tests. Previously if a test result was less than 0.1 then SimplyPats showed and printed <0.1 with the less than sign. You can now override this to show the exact value e.g. 0.02

9) Added a new option in the settings for the Megger PAT4/DV3 or PAT4/DV to allow the use of Room Id's in the Megger PAT4 for locations in SimplyPats.

10) On the Manual Entry screen, if you enter a test time of 00:00 you will be prompted if you want all the subsequent tests you add to have a time of 00:00 set.

11) Amended the maximum number of sites and locations in a single file from 1000 to 2000.

Bugs

1) On Selecting the Kewtech KT74 or Kewtech KT75 from the System Settings screen, the com port selection was not always remembered. This is now fixed. Also when downloading the Kewtech KT74 or Kewtech KT75 the download screen showed an animation but no confirmation of the amount of data being read.

2) If you had a custom report designed for the Summary Of Repairs screen and this was included in your automatic print sequence, the custom report was not printed, only the default one. This is now fixed.

3) Ameneded the internet check for when a newer version of SimplyPats is available so that it doesnt remind everyone one the first day of a new month but rather 90 days after what ever day SimplyPats last checked for an update.

4) Put additional checks in the program to check whether your company logo image or signature file image are available. If these images were stored on a Server and the folder selected was what is known as a UNC path e.g. \\my server\shared docs\ as opposed to a logical drive z:\shared docs SimplyPats recorded an error. As a tip, if you install SimplyPats on a laptop and want to use it away from your office, copy any company logo image or signature image to the laptop's hard drive.
