New Features - 11-2 Build 5

Welcome to Collect! Version 11.2 Build 5. This latest version has many new features and functionality. There are also many optimizations and enhancements to existing features.

Search And Replace

This new utility in the Tools, Utilities menu, enables you to search records for a string and replace the string with a different string. You can use this utility on any list. Select the field you wish to search and enter a search string and a replace string. One handy use for this utility is updating paths for storing files saved in attachments.

Please refer to Help topic, Search and Replace, for details.

Include Plan Contacts

This new switch in WIP Options enables you to consider Plan contacts as valid future contacts when you are using the Schedule Next Contact functionality. By default, Collect! does not consider Plan contacts when searching for In Progress contacts. This means that when this switch is OFF, Collect! will display the Schedule Next Contact form, even if there is an In Progress Plan contact on the account.

New Scheduler Tasks

The Scheduler will now allow you to configure the Recalculate Totals task with specific settings, just like the options available when you Recalculate Totals from the Tools menu.

UID Maintenance

The UID Check utility now enables you to select the database and record types you want to check. This speeds up the process by allowing you to examine only the areas in CV11 that you need to maintain.

Please refer to Help topic, UID Maintenance, for details.

Export Database

New functionality in the Export Database procedure enables you export parts of the database. You can tag specific clients to export and export their subrecords as well. You can also export other core database files, such as reports, import maps, contact plans, transaction types and debtor status codes. This is a convenient way to split a large database.

Please refer to Help topic, Exporting Selected Clients and Records.

RDM Server Statistics

A new choice in the System, Diagnostics menu enables you to benchmark CV11 Server performance. The Db Statistics menu option opens the RDM Server Statistics form. All details of all statistics gathered from the CV11 Server are displayed. You can refresh the statistics by selecting the REFRESH button.

Db Statistics are used primarily by the Collect! Technical Services Team to benchmark server performance. This will assist greatly in pinpointing issues related to the CV11 Server or the EXM (Extension Module).

Please refer to Help topic, RDM Server Statistics for details.

Optimizations

Enhancements were made to Sign On, Find By, Report Writer, Display and Handling, Letter Service, Application Log and other areas.
