SouthWare has made two significant changes to improve defining and printing to Windows Printers.  

• The first option allows you to define printer margins and will simplify setting up printers for pre-printed forms because you are no longer required to purchase printers that support PCL5 init strings/codes or know the codes to use when defining the init strings.
• The second option allows you to define # of copies, orientation and duplex printing. This feature eliminates having to define these options in SouthWare Printer Device Maintenance.   

Similar to the XML export option, a new export option for “json” data has been added to ReportMate. The JSON format is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, and is an alternative to XML. JSON means JavaScript Object Notation.

This new feature will allow you to rebuild key history files from a specific date so that you will no longer need to rebuild the whole file when the sync process doesn’t complete. 
The new process reads the history files in reverse order and will create SQLSync transactions that will get posted to the MSSQL tables from the SQLSync Background server.
There are two new options in the SQLSync Manager:

• Choose "History Files to build from a specific date" to create transactions in the SQLSync transaction file that will be posted to MSSQL from the Background server.
• Choose "Create new SQL Table from a specific date" to create the MSSQL table and create transactions in the SQLSync transaction file that will get posted to MSSQL from the Background server.

Currently, this function is limited to a select group of history files:
·         Invoice header history
·         Invoice line item history
·         Service order header history
·         Service order line history
·         Receivings header history
·         Receivings line history
·         PO header history
·         PO line history
·         Inventory Ledger

• When executed, the program defaults to files for the last seven days, for the current operator. You may also choose files for Today, the last 30 days, 90 days, or all dates, and all operators.
• Use the Filter button to select by date range, file extension, program ID, or non-existent files for the records displayed. These options are to help in creating a group of files upon which to perform batch processing. If the filter button is used, the resulting sort will be FIFO.
• Use the Select All button to choose all records, and the same button to Unselect All.
• When one or more records is selected, the Process button is enabled for batch processing. If deleting, you will have the option to verify each file before delete or to process without interruption. If displaying, the viewer will create unique file names so all the selected files can be displayed.
• If you select (double-click) a single file, the default will be to display using Print Preview.
• The search feature is available in the toolbar as well as in the grid.

NOTE: if grids are turned off, or in a character-based environment, the manager functions as it did before the changes. The one exception is on a Windows workstation, the display feature uses Print Preview as the default.
