Release 1.0.0.275 - 1.0.0.278

This new release of the toolkit, has added functions to the new list of active users,










As you can see above when you right click on your name you see list a of active users in the toolkit as you hover each of the users you will see a sub menu that will outline the Account the User is in, their full name, their e-mail and also the last time they logged in, At the bottom of the sub menu you choose to start a conversation with the user, once the user clicks on the Start a Conversation button, a dialog box will open for you where you can start sending messages to each other, Currently the toolkit only supports conversations between two users, you will see your font in black and the recipients font in blue, if either of you closes the dialog boxes it destroys the conversation, and sends one last message to the recipient, the recipient will see that you will close the conversation and in turn when you close they close, it will clean up itself, Every time you log in to the toolkit the toolkit generates a special ID for you, so that there will never be a chance where you cross conversations with other users. The dialog module is currently hosted on the gmapweb website with SSL Encryption so that you can be confident the conversation is secure, The conversation is handled by the gmap server through an custom toolkit xml API. If you would like to learn more about the toolkit xml api, please see me

There have been four releases since the last update, There have been some improvements to the layout.
1.)The toolkit now has some of the menu's only found on the log in inside the toolkit.







As you can see above you can now access
a) administrator tools/settings - for those with administrator status
b)suggestion box/Report Bug - for those wanting to report a bug or a n issue
c)Web aid tools which include the log/alert generator

Also many of you may have noticed the greeting and your name, if you right click on the name you will get a list of the current users logged in to the toolkit,











When you right click on the greeting "Hello " Your name, you receive a small menu, the small menu represents the users logged in to the toolkit, it also tells you their e-mail, account they are in as well as their full name, For  users with administrator values you have the ability to start a conversation,  for example

If I want to check with gladys how she is doing the reprints I simply select her user and click start conversation

































As you can see above the toolkit has a conversation box, works similar as quick messenger, after the dialog is complete the and you close the conversation the toolkit will remove the text from the server and clean up after itself,

Release 1.0.0.270

There was a bug reported with the toolkit where it was not updating receipt files in the QC screen, it has been fixed and is now working.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Release 1.0.0.269

The toolkit has a new update which helps with the processing of intl shipments, where it grabs the weight from the file and populates the weights in the appropriate fields, for example a weight of 2.75 lbs would be split and broken down in to the following, 2 lbs and 12 oz, These two figures would auto populate on the weight in oz and lbs fields respectively. See below
















If the weight is round to the nearest pound either just 2lbs or 2.0 lbs the toolkit will detect this and populate this in it's respective field,

Remember that this works when you click on the populate weight checkbox other wise it wont work. This is aimed at orders that we use the weight from orderwave to process them, not for the ones that we receive the weight from production
