DataTextMerge Re-Release Enhancements

In conjunction with the recent re-engineering of the DataAnalysis module, the DataTextMerge software has been revised and enhanced.  This is the second of three planned enhancements to the text/merge language.  Now, when Comps are selected and DataTextMerge is called for a particular data type, the resulting DataTextMerge is automatically displayed using the 'Default' template for that particular data type.  To select a merge template other than 'Default', pick another template from the ComboBox in the lower left corner of the DataTextMerge dialog.  To create or modify a

New Compact Report Layouts Released

I just released two new Comp report layouts which I have been contemplating for some time.  My motivation is designing these reports was to convey robust information content, but in a concise format which would not extend beyond one page for most properties.  As you know, we store a lot of information in our database about each property, and this is just overkill (TMI - too much information) for summary reporting situations.  The compact reports eliminate reporting of assessment information, financial information, and data source verification.

New StatusStrip menu provides convenient task-switching

In addition to the familiar Windows drop-down menu at the top of the screen, and pop-up context menus for power-users, a new StatusStrip menu has been added at the bottom of the screen.  In addition to its traditional role in word processors and spreadsheets where a status strip is used to provide user feedback, our StatusStrip also contains one-click graphic command buttons to assist in task switching between Form, Grid, PDF, Browser, and Inspector screens.  The placement of this graphic icons is purposely adjacent to the Windows task bar to enable convenient one-click switching

New Feature: Automated Custom Report Download / Installation

The long-awaited extensibility component of the reporting module has just been released.  With the addition of this feature, local report libraries can be expanded by simply downloading new reports from our online report library to your desktop, and installing the report locally from the Reporting Module Menu with the following key sequence:

(Reports > Add New Report)

As with all of the reports in your personal report library, titles, footers, and groupings are individually customizable by editing ReportList.txt from the Reporting Module ma

New Feature: Customizable Import / Export Modules

The Import/Export capabilities of the DataShareAPS software has been enhanced with user-confugurable bi-directional data flows.  This enables users to configure an unlimited array of independent data translations into and out of the local database.   Using a simple drag-drop interface, complex data translation and transformation of previously incompatible MLS and data downloads can be accomplished by end-users without any software programming.

New Feature Added: Image Quick Selector

A new feature has been added to the Image Editor menu which allows quick selection of database images by ID number and content/caption. This is especially helpful if you have a datagrid with a lot of images you want to select and don't want to scroll through the datagrid to select individual rows. By clicking Images > Quick Selector from the Top Screen Menu, a transient* popup window will appear with labeled checkboxes for all the images in the datagrid. Clicking the checkbox will select (or deselect) the corresponding image, whether or not it is currently visible in the screen display.

New Feature Added: Copy/Paste Image or Caption

A new feature has been added to the Image Editor context menu which allows multi-image copy/paste operations on images and image captions. This feature is particularly helpful in preparing robust photo exhibits with multiple images of similar content. For example, when composing captions for multiple Exterior Building Elevations shot from different directions (North, South, Front, Rear, etc). To use the Image/Caption Copy/Paste function:

1) Select an image row in the datagrid by clicking on its row header;
2) Right-click to popup the context menu;

New Feature Added: Use/Exclude/Img#

This new context menu function consolidates previous functionality into a more convenient interface. It is used to automatically set the Image Number field for multiple images currently selected by the user. The image number field is used as a "throw away" helper for sequencing photo exhibits. To mark an image as used, set its Img# field to a value greater than zero. To mark an image as excluded, set its Img# field to zero.

Mapping: Set comp order based on proximity to subject

Although this useful feature may appear in the Top Screen and Context menus of the Comp Editors and Reporting Modules, the functionality is actually provided by the Mapping Module.

Configuring the DataShareAPS Imaging Helper Extension

DataShareAPS provides for one-click access to your choice of user-configurable imaging helper applications through the camera extension tool icon near the right end of the Top Screen Menu. 

Separate image editing software is not required in order to use the DataShareAPS software, but it is helpful.  Our software will handle basic image resizing and rotation, and the imaging extension tool is provided for quick access to your choice of helper application for a more robust array of image editing features.  These typically include clipboard image manipulation from screen
