Sales
Force project and order
template now included in Examples folder (generally
C:\Program Files\Pocket PC Creations\Examples). The Sales
Force project Data Pathway is set up to output via HTML Template
to HTML files with file name based on customer Company Name, see
Sales Force page for more
detail. For convenient printing from Pocket PC Creations using professional
HTML Templates, exactly matching government and other forms,
contact Enrico
for assistance.
Dynamic changes to point
Captions based on output from other points. The Caption can
be dynamically expanded by parsing from another point using
<%OtherPointID%>, the Caption will then present what is
entered in the other point. For example a survey of game machine
usage has a question "What brand of video game do you
use?" (Drop List with Point ID Name "Brand"
includes item 'Nintendo'). Elsewhere in the project a dynamic
question may be "How often do you use your Nintendo?"
Caption would be "How often do you use your
<%Brand%>?"; if person had answered 'X Box' initially
it would read "How often do you use your X Box?". This
can assist with making the interview more direct in market
research, and adaptive in self assessment (eg drug trials), and
by providing prompts in larger projects.
| Expanded
support for Tablet PCs, the Outlook point now
operates on Tablet/notebook/desktop PC, where
previously Outlook point only related to Pocket Outlook on
Pocket PC. Pocket PC Creations is proving popular on
Windows XP Tablet PCs, running under Local Session
(via Project > New Session) with expanded window (drag
window to widen and lengthen). |
|
Unit IDs can be remotely
amended from the Pocket PC Creations server, useful for
large wireless deployments if the user of the Pocket PC changes,
see page
4 of Skills tutorial and 'Update Unit ID'.
Character Limit control
in Edit point to assist output to databases by not exceeding
database field limits; audio warning on Pocket PC when limit is
reached.
Enhanced Date Time
picker point, no longer 'always on' default record of current
date (please check previous project designs if dependent on
always recording current date).
Support for non-English
locales, as determined by hardware system settings (Settings
> System > Regional Settings on Pocket PC and Control
Panel > Regional Settings on desktop PC). Thus if
Regional Settings specify "," as the decimal character
and "." as the digit grouping character (which is
opposite to the English system), then these settings will be
reflected in Pocket PC Creations.
Additions to Data
Script (for programmers):
Point.SaveSketchImage for saving
sketch images to disk, used as follows:
' Save a sketch in the
indicated point using the indicated session data
Project.Points("pointname").SaveSketchImage
theSession("pointname"), "C:\File.bmp"
Database.SaveToFile and Database.LoadFromFile
for saving/loading embedded files:
' Save a stored file from a
session to disk Database.SaveToFile theSession("pointname"),

' Load a file from disk into a session
as a stored file theSession("pointname") =
Database.LoadFromFile( "C:\File.ext" )" |
