Version 7.3.4 (8/22/2012)

Version 7.3.4 is the biggest update in the last 5 years and there’s lots more coming in the next few months.  Version 7.3.4 has over 120 improvements mainly in the categories of Calibration Events, Reporting, Equipment Record, and the Application in general.  Here are the highlights:

Calibration Events

• Auto Temperature/Humidity:  Automatically populates the Temperature and Humidity fields while using a Temperature and Humidity USB Monitor (THUM).
• Better Traceability:  It’s now easier to trace your Calibration Events back to national standards.
• Percentage Tolerances:  Four tolerance options of None, Percent (%), Straight Tolerance (+/-), and Limit Values where you type in the tolerances manually.
• Negative Tolerances:  Use negative plus or minus tolerances for Percent or Straight Tolerance.
• Multiple Tolerances:  Calibration Events can have multiple tolerances, different for each measurement, if needed.
• Multiple Units of Measure:  Calibration Events can have multiple measurement units, different for each measurement, if needed.
• Measurement Templates:  Templates for measurements are now easy to defined and attach to Equipment, Equipment Types, and Models.
• Adjustable Precision:  Edit the number of digits to either side of the numbers used in a Measurement Group.
• Calibration Approval:  Approved Calibration Events are locked unless unlocked by an Administrator.
• Custom Fields:  Several new custom fields for strings, dates, numbers, and Boolean values added in a separate tab.

Easier Reporting

• Configurable Report Data Source:  So you can use the Report Designer for more than just Calibration Control.
• Reports as Separate Files:  All reports are completely editable.  Reports that come with Calibration Control are treated exactly the same as custom reports.
• Easy Access to Custom Reports:  Add a report template file to the Reports folder and it instantly shows up in the Report Menu.
• Calibration Worksheets:  Advanced functionality that includes the measurements that need to be taken.
• Report Parameters:  Add filter values (e.g., date due or department) at run time.

Application Features

• More Colors:  Pink for past due, yellow for due within N days, green for calibration standard, and red for out-of-tolerance investigation required.
• Asset Transfer:  New quick transfer dialog to transfer to new Department, Location, or Custodian.
• Cleaner Layout:  Larger fonts and cleaner layout for all dialogs.
• Notification Utility for XP:  The Notification Utility will now run on XP machines.
• Terminal Version:  Run Calibration Control in Terminal version allowing limited functionality for Production employees.
• Date-Based Product Key:  This should be the last update where you need to get a new product key if your maintenance agreement is still active.
• Equipment Types:  Classify Equipment and Models with Type codes.
• Remote Support:  Quick link to the Remote Desktop Support software from the Help dropdown menu.

Equipment Record Features

• Certificate Field:  New certificate field to store certificates traceable to national standards.
• Equipment Status:  The status field is no longer directly attached to calibration status, which means it can now be used for anything (e.g., at calibration lab, removed from service, etc.)
• Note History:  Date-based notes added as new to in Equipment Edit dialog.
• Custodian Field:  Designate who currently has custody of an equipment / tool.
• Model is Combo:  The model number field is now a combo box again.

Version 7.2.5 (5/2/2012)

This is a free update for current users if your maintenance agreement is current as of 5/2/2012 (e.g., < 12 months since last renewal).  As soon as you download or request it, I will send you a new Product Key to unlock this version.

The really big deal of this release is that Calibration Control is now compliant with the FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 standard, which means that it has User Authentication, Role-Based Security, and a Change log.  There are also a few other major features and several stability enhancements.  This version is a must have!

• Role-Based Security (Sign-In):  Turn on User Authentication to control the Roles of each user.  The roles include Administrator, Super User, Supervisor, Technician, Production, and Layouts.
• Editable Permissions:  Edit the Role required for each of the 63 Permissions.
• Change Control:  All changes to fields and labels are automatically recorded in an Audit Log that users can review and filter by date/time, user, dialog (screen), and field.
• Localization (Multilingual):  Added the ability for the application to easily receive and use additional languages.  Languages can be added at request with the first planned being Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Korean.
• Editable Field Names:  Users can now edit the fields names in over 40 dialogs in addition using an easy-to-use in-application dialog.
• Model Number & Description:  In the Equipment Edit dialog, removed the Model Number dropdown and replaced it with a text box.  Added the Description and a dropdown field for the Manufacturer.  This change will make data entry more convenient for organizations that do not need to keep track of model numbers.
• Centralized Server Settings:  Moved several global settings from the global.config file to the database making central control over those settings much easier.
• Status Hide:  Choose to hide a specific Status code if it is no longer relevant to the Main Browse.  For example, you can choose to hide all equipment with the Out of Service status.
• Browse Grid Load Speed:  Dramatically increased the load speed of the Main Equipment Browse screen.
• Editable SMTP Port:  Added the ability to change the SMTP Port number for the SMTP mail server settings in the Notification Utility
• Old Calibration Certificate:  The legacy Calibration Certificate is now included if you don't want to use the new certificate.
• Miscellaneous Stability:  Addressed several minor issues to increase stability.
