• The Live Console Summary was incorrectly showing the Status of FAIL if a collection had failed, but the GOB was recorded.  Once the GOB has been recorded it is classed as completed address and should therefore no longer show the FAIL status.

Version 6.6.848 (13th Jan 2020)

Bug fixes and amendments

• Leaving Journease minimised for a period of time was causing Journease to crash.

• Retrieving a customer who had NO previous addresses recorded against them was throwing up a Run time Error (although this was NOT crashing Journease).

• After the last update, we have had a bit of feed back regarding the Live Console change and the fact that it open in a different window (most in favour - some unhappy). So we have added the following features...

  • A menu within the Live Console now allows you navigate to the most common screens

  • A customisation has been added (CSTM73987) so that when pressing the Exit Screen button on the Job screen, you are automatically shown the Live Console (providing it was previously open).  This customisation has to be added using the customisation tab in the screen - Lookup > Administration > Utilities. 

Version 6.6.846 (12th Jan 2020)

General

• Inactivity Monitor.  If you are not using Journease for more than 2 hours you will be disconnected from the servers - a 2 minute warning will pop up and you can easily stay connected by pressing the 'Stay Connected' button. .  This will help keep the system as efficient as possible for all Journease users.  Journease will still be available 24/7 as usual.

Addresses

• You can now enter Latitude / Longitude points to locate an address.  When you do this you will be prompted for a description, so it can be used in the future.  The easiest way to obtain Latitude / Longitude co-ordinates is to use Bing Maps on the web (https://www.bing.com/maps), right mouse button on a location, at the bottom of the list you will see the co-ordinates which can be copied. The co-ordinates MUST be entered as Latitude/Longitude, separated by a comma - e.g. 53.397792, -1.349849

Live Console

• The Live Console now appears in it's own detached window outside of the main Journease application which means if you run multi-monitor system you can have it permanently showing. To switch between Live Console and Job Screen the usual buttons at the top right of the screen are still available....
