READMEs History

December 28th, 2015:

• Version 6.2

• Scorecard

Adds the Submission Scorecard to the Home page and other screens to display Scorecards of Submissions Accepted, Pending, and Rejected. Scorecards are shown for All submissions, and for Submissions Scorecards on a per Contact basis.  

• Home Details

In version 6.0, the Home Details screen was replaced by an alternate Home screen that was designed for a Publisher, while retaining the Home screen that was designed for an Author’s needs. Some users asked for the original Home Details screen to be returned. A button was added to the Author’s Home screen that displays the additional information for multiple submissions of a story in a popup. This captures all of the original information in a single button with a single click while keeping the user on the same screen, displaying this button only when multiple submissions have been made as the information is already displayed on the Author Home screen.

• Bug Fixes

Fixes related to configuring licenses and other minor bugs.

December 5th, 2015:

• Version 6.1

• Multi-User Beta 2

The application supports entering multiple licenses and associating each license with a Contact. This allows the system to support multiple authors, editors, and agents. Each may use the application and use those items they have been assigned. Each user may use the application in the language of their choice. Each registered user requires a license, with each license sold separately.

If used with FileMaker Server or FileMaker Pro Advanced, multiple users may use the application simultaneously. This feature is currently in beta, and the FileMaker software for simultaneous user is NOT included, it must be purchased separately.  

• iOS Support

This update adds the ability to run the application hosted on FileMaker Go on the iOS device, or via as a client using FM Go to log into FileMaker Pro Advanced as a shared file, or to a FileMaker Pro Server.

• Bug Fixes

Fixes related to use on iOS and correctly recording session information on logout.

November 29th, 2015:

• Version 6.0

• Support for an Author AND a Publisher  

The application supports use by a single author to enter their stories and track their submissions to multiple publishers. It now also supports multiple agents or employees of a publisher entering a submission and then processing a response to that submission for the assigned agent or editor.

• Multi-User Beta

• Workflow

The Workflow tab pulls together all the features that support rapid data entry. This includes the three-step process and generating stories from files.

A new wizard supports the rapid entry of an author’s submission into the application. This one-stop screen collects all of the information needed, and once completed, creates a Story and Submission record and then connects it to a Publisher and all the Contacts needed to assign reading and respond to the Author.

• Improved Ergonomics

Innumerable minor improvements have been made to the user interface. All Administrative functions have been hidden. The Administrator functions may be password protected and enabled only as needed.

• Integrated Help

The PDF User’s Guide has been replaced by an on page Help and Help Tips. A help button is provided for each page, along with the ability to Show or Hide Help Tips. You may get help immediately without leaving the page, with Help Tip buttons located over the portion of the screen layout that it describes.

• Contacts

In prior versions, a single Point of Contact could be associated with a Publisher. Contacts may now be synchronized with a Global copy, or added to and kept private.

• Customer Requested Features

When the application is re-opened, it navigates to the last viewed page and last viewed record for each of the pages shown under the main tabs. Also, a Daily Word Count field has been added to the Author Home page for tracking a flat count of words written each day by an Author. A History button provides a listing of prior counts and a Total.

• Bug Fixes

The changes necessary to make the application support multiple users were extensive, requiring a near re-write of

parts of the application. A focus has been placed on the user experience in everything done in the application.

April 13th, 2015:

• Version 5.2

• Reading Periods  

Support for defining Reading or Exclusion periods for a Publisher. Once a day, a check is done against the reading or exclusion periods defined to see if the Publisher is Open or Closed and then automatically update that for the Publisher. Support for recurring periods is also included, along with excluding non-reading or non-excluded periods. The Reading/Exclusion period information is included with the Global Publishers synchronization so users automatically receive updates along with their updated Publisher information.

• Improved Ergonomics

Innumerable minor improvements have been made to the user interface. The layout of tabs and location of fields under sub tabs is unchanged. The Home screen is now easier to read and use. New records for Stories, Publishers, Submissions, Alerts, Sales, and Expenses may now be performed using a popup menu on the Home tab.

The View or Read-Only screens support a menu for all Command buttons on the screen to increase the viewing area and improve the ability to browse the information. The Publishers view screen also includes a small Web View preview panel, which when clicked will open the website in a separate window.

Additional screens now support allowing the user to run the default action by pressing the return or enter key, or to dismiss the dialog using the esc key.

New to this release, the application supports cycling between the existing Form view and a new Tabular view while retaining your place in the existing recordset and retaining the existing filters. Click on the tab while in that tab to cycle between the Form and Tabular views.

Sorting is also supported on nearly all columns in the Tabular views. Click on the column header to cycle through the sorting based upon that column. All selections of the Form versus Tabular views are persisted when you navigate to a different tab and later return to that tab.

The main tabs have been styled to use high contrast colors. This allows the non-selected tabs to blend into the

background while remaining easily read, and make the currently selected tab stand out more.

• Genre Selection 

Select multiple genres quickly with a Select All and Select None pair of buttons on both the Stories and Publishers tabs. 

• Editable Submission Types 

For a Publisher, the Submission Type values may now be edited so additional types may be specified. This provides greater flexibility in specifying the submission mechanism.

In all other respects, the application now supports foreign character sets and strings.
