WHOS-IN Pro - What's New ?
User - Presence sensing feature. If a users screensaver is triggered, the Icon on the main display area will change
from the standard colored button to a small 'screen' icon. If a users PC is 'locked' a lock icon will appear.
NOTE: The Icons changing do NOT change a users Status. When the user returns and moves the mouse / keyboard, the
Icon (only) will revert back to its previous (colored) state.
User - Added new 'Status Alerts' area at the bottom of the main WHOS-IN screen. This area will 'notify' you when a
colleague changes their Status. A second area displays the names of people who will be notified of YOUR status changes
(so they know when YOU return from Lunch for example).
User - Added Short Message System which allows you to send a quick Post-It™ style note from one WHOS-IN user to
another. Msgs are displayed in a viewer, and you can select individual msgs to read / delete etc.
User - Added new option to display Groups in a TreeView down the left-hand side (like Outlook / Explorer). This will be
the new default display mode, and can be switched back to the old Tab display format if required.
User - Added splitter Bar to allow resizing of the main screen TreeView / ListView.
User - The last person or item selected is highlighted and visible when returning to the main screen from any
other screen
User - Added Auto-Detect of Network Logon ID's to assist new users in the selection of a valid name.
User - Added code to detect a user pressing Function Key 5 (F5). This key now performs a manual 'refresh' (similar to
most other Windows Apps).
User - Added code to include the users current Status on the Title Bar / SysTray Icon.
User - Added code to only display the toolbar 'Servers' button when the user is on their 'home' server, and only display
the 'Home' button when a user is on a remote database.
User - Added code to allow mismatched (upper/lowercase) usernames in the main screen 'Double-Click' event. This prevents
a problem where WHOS-IN is started with a command line such as 'J SMITH' however the users entry in the database is
'J Smith'.
User - Added code to allow ALT-HOME keyboard combination which resets the main WHOS-IN screen coordinates to 0,0
(top left). This has been included to assist users with multiple screens leaving WHOS-IN 'off the main screen', then
logging on to a PC that only has a single screen (WHOS-IN is not visible in this case, and there is no way to display
or move it).
User - Removed references to ZTray.OCX (the control used to display WHOS-IN in the System Tray) and replaced it with
pure Visual Basic code. This will eliminate any 'Registry' requirements associated with the OCX.
User / Admin - Added 'Company Policy - Information screen. This displays pertinent information that employees need to know
about your company or organization.
User / Admin - Updated Icons to the new Hudson Software Logo.
User / Admin - Increased serial number to 16 digits.
User / Admin - Added a 'free updates expiry date'. This will allow you to see exactly 'when' your free updates expire
(but it will not stop the program from working after that date).
User / Admin - Added code to allow 'timed' demos with as many users as needed. (Serial numbers issued on request).
User / Admin - Updated Help to HTML format (CHM files).
Admin - The last User, Group, Item etc selected is highlighted and visible when returning to the main screen from any
other screen.
Admin - Updated Modify DueBack screen to allow editing of the existing data. Previously data had to be re-entered
from scratch.
Admin / User - Added 'Force Shutdown' command to allow the Administrator to more easily make updates to the user program
(handy when people go home & leave WHOS-IN running overnight).
Admin / User - Added option to 'Protect' selected Status Types (such as 'Vacation'). Setting a Status to protected will
prevent the Auto LogOut feature in the User program from over-writing the 'Vacation' Status with the usual 'Out' Status when
the user shuts down WHOS-IN (if the Auto Logout option is selected).
Admin - Added User ID to Add / Modify user screens.
Admin - Added 'Refresh' button to ToolBar.
Admin - Updated 'Import' utility to include User ID's, and also allow Comma or Tab delimited files.
Admin - Modified main display to display main functions in a TreeView. (Previously a Tab View)
Admin - Added 'Photo Path' function which allows you to store images of users or items in another folder. Previously,
images could only be located in the folder containing the database.
Admin - Updated 'browsing for files or folders' to begin searching from 'My Network Places' or 'Network Neighborhood'.
