    New and Improved: mrc (Customers Only)
    .

    Because technology changes at such a fast pace, this newsletter feature has been added to keep our customers abreast of the latest updates/modifications to the mrc-Productivity Series.

    This section is for customers only and is password-protected.

    Normally, this New and Improved section is placed at the end, but February was such a banner month for new capabilities, that we think it deserves to be prominently featured.

    Here are this month's mrc software updates:
    • Improved IF/ELSE IF/ELSE IF conditional calculations
    • Much more complete help text for BED and m-Power
    • Improved handling of drop-downs, radio buttons, and checkboxes in maintenance applications
    • Enabled use of variable Tomcat versions
    • Automatic audit stamping.
    • Improved BED capabilities: Better logic for data dictionary, secondary file checks, improved field formatting.
