V3.5 Release



V3.5 Release Features and Settings

The V3.5 Release contains a number of new features requested by clients.
There is a focus on ease-of-use and viewing and printing improvements.

Other features included:

  • Improvements to the Listing Reports
  • Addition of semester and calendar weeks and dates to the data entry dialogs for new classes,
  • Addition of help access to the desk top icons and the Windows start menu options
  • A new Tool tip on the main screen making schedule details easier to read.
  • Easier-to-read improvements to the main screen and menu items.

    Improvements to the Listing Reports
    Listing reports have a number of new changes.
    These include keeping class details on the one page for easier viewing
    More detail printed in the various columns
    Options for displaying weeks or dates.
    Printing sequence in time order.

    Schedule Data Entry changes
    This is a major plus for VCS clients in V3.5
    This provides instant access to date, semester week and calendar week.
    All on the one drop-down line in the schedule data entry / update dialog.
    Just makes data entry and changes faster and clearer - more certain.
    The display uses the semester start week set-up in the (E)dit, Settings dialog.
    Use the calendar icon to select the date - or type in e.g. 6, 25 and 1 for 2007
    Default Starting Semester Week Number = 6
    Default Ending Semester Week Number = 25
    Default Starting Calendar Week Number = 1
    These week number combinations are then displayed together during data entry for easier selection

    Help Access Icons
    Help access icons have been added to the desk top and the Windows start menu for VCS
    Just means you have quick access to handy hints and tips and new features
    Don't need to go searching for help on the VSS web page or on your hard drive.
    Handy for new features that you might want to come back to for a refresher - when the pressure is off.
    We'll be updating VCS all thru the year - so have a look and see what's available.

    New Tool Tip
    The new Tool Tip is a rectangular display of schedule details on the main screen.
    It appears near your mouse pointer when the mouse hovers over an activity..
    It has similar detail to the zoom boxes down below - room name, class name etc
    and is right next to where you are pointing for easier reference.
    Left click to see the Update activity dialog as before (with the new weeks and dates)
    Try right click and see some options to update the activity under the mouse.

    Easier-to-Read improvements to the main screen and menu items
    We've made a number of minor changes to the main screen and menu items.
    Little things our valued clients have suggested to make things clearer and a bit easier.
    We have quite a few more suggestions to implement this year - so keep an eye on the news.
    Your V3.5 licence includes any free updates this year - so you're welcome to ask.
