Quadrant Systems RASWIN - Release Notes 2018
1.0.5996 2025-09-10 12:00
December 28th, 2017
-
The quantity field previously allowed entry of
only 5 digits left of the decimal point.
This has neen expanded to 9 digits so that larger quantities
can be entered. This is
required to deal with certain applications where the fee is
based on the quantity, such
as square footage exceeding 99,999 feet.
December 5th, 2017
-
A small change to the line item entry screen was
made to enable the
program to reject entries in the REFERENCE NUMBER field if
they don't
contain a completely filled in entry when an EDIT MASK is in
effect for this field.
If the user tries to skip the field completely, or does not
enter data into all the
available entry possitions, an error message will pop up and
reposition the cursor
in the reference number field. This feature was temporarily
deactivated in a prior
release, and now works as it originally did. It is controlled
by the MISCPARM setting called
REFNUM-EDIT-MASK-FORCE-ENTRY
which can be set to y or
n.
If the edit mask is defined to contain more characters
than are actually applicable (e.g., you define a 6 digit field
for an invoice number,
parking citation, permit number, etc.) and you are entering
only 5 characters for a
particular transaction, just use the space-bar to erase the
remaining
underscore characters to enable you to exit the field without
error. Whenever possible,
you should always try to make the edit mask match the size of
your reference number
information.
November 13th, 2017
-
Changes to modify the way the interface between
the CRW permitting system and Quadrant RASWIN
have been made. If you utilize this interface contact Quadrant
for details, as the changes
will 'break' the interface without some setup in the Quadrant
and CRW databases.
-
Correct and error in RASWIN_2 export format to
properly include a field that went missing following
an earlier change to we made another format.
September 26, 2017
-
Adjustments made to remove some obsolete functions
which have been replaced
with updated modules.
-
Minor tweaks to the drop down payment list on the
payment entry screen.
May 22, 2017
-
Minor changes to the export table data and
functions related to
sending the files
to Quadrant have been made to try and insure that all the
needed
logfiles are included.
-
Revisions to the CRW permit system interface have
been made. Most
of these are not externaly
visible to the user, but are internal to the operation of
the
interface. Recent problems with the
interface should be resolved by these changes.
May 8, 2017
-
A fix has been made to the calculation and
display of change
given back to customers on the
recap report. The manifested itself when a specific
department
was selected for the report,
and there is change given in other departments. This error
has
been corrected.
-
A new report option has been added to the REPORTS
drop-down menu.
This is called the RASWIN MANAGER's DASHBOARD.
It presents a screen that looks like this:
The screen allows you to enter two dates and
either print a
"Counts By Hour Report" or to view several different
sets of data related to logins, program version information,
payment data, as well as transactions (Completed and Voids).
The information on this report is based on the CALENDARD
DATE,
not the accounting date. There are several key things you
can
utilitize this data for, including:
-
Quickly checking cashier void activity,
over a single day
or a range of days. Excessive numbers of voids are
often
indicative of training or security issues.
-
Verifying active machines vs. those that
are not
currently in use. This is often seen when many
copies of
the software are
installed for inquiry purposes, and then not used
for
long periods of time. The issue this presents is
that
these are typically
left running older versions of the RASWIN program
and
can cause issues when they are started up following
an
upgrade to your
primary registers. This can cause conflicts in terms
of
the table structures, stored procedures, etc., which
can
be difficult
to track down.
-
A very quick-and-dirtly look at payment
activity by user
for a day or range of days, broken down by payment
method. It allows
you to see that a particular user has processed a
large
amount of cash, for example, which you may wish to
relocated to a
back office safe for security reasons. This would
typically be used for the current calendar date
only, as
opposed to a date range.
Note that it does not factor in any starting cash or
change returned to the customer so the figure will
not
necessarily match what is shown on the
cash recap report.
-
A quick look at which workstations are
active and which
have NOBODY logged in.
-
The COUNTS BY HOUR report shows
transaction activity by
day of the week by hour of the day for whatever
range of
dates you enter.
This is displayed in a tabular form.
A new report section has been added to the cash
recap report to
document situations in which the version of RASWIN running
on
each
machine does not match the version of the most current
version
installed at your location. We have preached endlessly about
the
need
for all workstations to be on the same version, for the
reasons
noted earlier. This new section of the report will be at the
end
of the
cash recap and will show workstations that have the most
current
locally installed version in green, and those that don't in
red.
If all workstations are on the same version, this section of
the
report will not be displayed.
A few small changes related to the Export Table
Data option have
been adjusted so that a bit of table data related to
transaction data are properly exported. These are
automatically
included in the export process when you CLICK on the
"Select Key Tables" button on the export screen.
