| 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.
Here are the latest and greatest improvements and updates:
- New Web/Servlet template: Single Record Graph Image. It works like the original graph, except that it creates an image on the server to render the graph instead of using an applet.
- New Web/Servlet template: Report With Graph. It works like the original report template, but it also includes the ability to graph any values from any level of a report. (See article above)
- Improved Web/Servlet Multiple Record Maintainer Template which now uses act_rule 3 and allow_delete 2, so updates are not deleting other data.
- Creation of stored procedures through BED.
- Improvement allows calculation to be set to equal itself and the calculation condition field can now be another calculation. Code generator is changed to allow tests of the field description for special TPL cases.
