2.10. LincDoc 3.2.5 Release Notes
Published on: 11 Sept 2013
This section contains information about the LincDoc 3.2.5 release. This release contains both new features and corrected defects from previous releases.
New Features
The following new features have been added with this release:
- Ability to Dynamically Define a Section Heading
- New Function for Text Manipulation of a Field's Label
- Better Error Messages for Failed Logins
- New Option Allowing the Run Doc Package Action or eForm Action to Open a New Browser Window
- Ability to Sort Fields in a Section Alphabetically
Ability to Dynamically Define a Section Heading (2995)
You can now define a section's heading, as it appears on the eForm's or Document Package's Data Entry View, using the Calculated heading? option instead of using only a static heading. This option allows for the creation of dynamic section headings based on actual form input.
Important: Only the section heading on the form's Data Entry View and in the Document Viewer are affected by this option. The section's heading on the Fields/Sections tab can only be changed using the Section name text box.
The option is available when you select a section on the left side of the Fields/Sections tab, as shown below.
In previous versions of LincDoc, only a static name could be given to a section (via the Section name text box).
If you click the Calculated heading? check box, you can access either the Calculation Wizard or the standard calculation editor via the corresponding arrow button (highlighted above, to the right of the check box). From this point on, you edit the heading's calculation just like any other calculation.
In the following example, the first section's heading is based on the information in the Primary's Last Name entry field. Once a value is entered in this field, the section heading is automatically updated.
New Function for Text Manipulation of a Field's Label (3651)
You can now define a field's label, as it appears on the eForm's or Document Package's Data Entry View, using the Label Calculation? option instead of using only a static label. This option allows for the creation of dynamic field labels based on actual form input.
Important: Only the field label on the form's Data Entry View and in the Document Viewer are affected by this option. The field's name on the Fields/Sections tab can only be changed using the Label text box.
The option itself is only visible when you click the advanced check box in the Field attributes area of the the Fields/Sections tab, as shown below.
In previous versions of LincDoc, only a static name could be given to a label (via the Label text box).
If you click the Label Calculation? check box, you can access either the Calculation Wizard or the standard calculation editor via the corresponding arrow button (highlighted above, to the right of the check box). From this point on, you edit the label's calculation just like any other calculation.
In the following example, the Date of Birth label is based on the entered information in the Primary's Last Name and Primary's First Name entry fields. Once a value is entered in either of these two entry fields, the label's name is automatically updated.
Better Error Messages for Failed Logins (3658)
The error messages that appear after a failed login attempt have been improved to better describe the reason for the failure.
The messages are now more specific as to the cause of the failure, including username problems, password problems, disallowed logins, or authentication failures.
New Option Allowing the Run Doc Package Action or eForm Action to Open a New Browser Window (3692)
When using the Run a Doc Package or eForm action, you can now specify whether or not you want the executed Document Package or eForm to open in a separate browser window or tab.
Note: The choice between a browser window or tab is based on your browser's settings. It is not controlled by LincDoc.
This behavior is controlled using the Open in new browser window/tab? option on the run a doc package or eForm dialog box, as shown below. When the option is selected (checked), the Document Package or eForm will open in a new browser window/tab.
For more information on this action, see Action Details: Run a Doc Package or eForm.
Ability to Sort Fields in a Section Alphabetically (3698)
You can alphabetically sort all of the fields in a given section on the Fields/Sections tab using the new sort fields option. This option is accessed by right-clicking the section whose fields you wish to sort.
In the following example, the NEW SECTION has been selected (right-clicked), and the option has been highlighted.
Once the option is clicked, the fields in the section are sorted in ascending (A-Z) order.
