Attention all
Construction Quality Control for Cement Products
users.

There have been many new features incorporated
into QC-Concrete since the release of version 2.  Are you
taking advantage of all of the improvements?

 Here is a partial list of the improvements made to the program:

Version

Date

Description of New Feature

2.2.90

11/26/04

Added new report printing sort order; sort by Project Number then Specimen Number.

2.2.88

11/16/04

Added new summary form SUMMARY15 for monthly billing reports. (see sample)

2.2.85

11/10/04

Added option to make reports "unprinted" when any specimen data is changed. This is for users of the "Print all unprinted reports" option, so when breaks are added or edited the report goes back in the queue. Also, the "Unprinted" or "Printed" status of a report is indicated not only by the color of the title on the data entry screen (it has always been that a black title meant a printed test, a blue title meant an unprinted test) but also the words "Printed" or "Unprinted now appear in the title".

2.2.81

10/26/04

Added option to print envelopes for each name on the distribution list without having to print reports for each name on the distribution list.

2.2.75

10/08/04

Added feature to allow merging a database from a branch office into a master database. Made requiring unique specimen numbers in a report the default, users must choose to be able to use non unique specimen numbers in reports. This is because it was neccessary for speed in the "merge branch database" feature.

2.2.74

9/30/04

Added 2 new summary reports which report data useful for invoicing. (Summary13 and Summary14) (see sample)

2.2.72

9/16/04

Added 2 new summary reports for summarizing specimens cast over a period of time, 1 page per project. One of them details and totals the number of specimens of each type which were cast. (Summary11 and Summary12) (see sample)

2.2.71

9/14/04

Added option to turn off break calculations. Also added option to re-apply the "New Report" status to a report which has already been printed.

2.2.69

8/31/04

Added multiple envelope printing capability. After updating refer to Help, then Printing Addresses for information about this new feature.

2.2.51

5/24/04

Enhanced Archive (you can now pick multiple projects) and enhanced Retrieve (you now pick projects from list).

2.2.48

5/13/04

Added new summary report which lists reports rather than specimens. Can filter by Date and Mix Number, among other criteria. Named SUMMARY10. (see sample)

2.2.34

2/10/04

Added a good invoicing summary report listing the project number, report number, date placed, the type of test and the number of specimens.  Named SUMMARY9. (see sample)


2.2.33

2/4/04

Added SUMMARY8, a basic summary that summarizes the specimens, date tested, age, and specimen type for various selection criteria. (see sample)

2.2.23

1/16/04

Added new summary reports SUMMARY6.SRP which can total the number of specimens for each test type for a given set of filter criteria and SUMMARY7.SRP using "Date Submitted" instead of "Date Placed" or "Date Sampled" which lists the test type and total specimens for a range of "Date submitted".  (see sample)

2.2.7

11/16/03

Modified the Masonry Block Prism form so the placement date is the "Date Constructed" for non-grouted specimens, and is the "Date Grouted" for grouted specimens. When entering the dates for Masonry Block Prism tests enter the date constructed in the new "Constructed or Grouted" field if it is ungrouted, or enter the date grouted, if it is grouted. This way the Break Date is calculated the correct way (per ASTM D1314 sec. 7.1).

2.2.3

11/6/03

Added "Print to File" option for standard printer output.

2.2.2

11/1/03

Added PDF export.

2.2.1

10/15/03

First release of v2 for all v1 users.

2.1.17

9/3/03

Made version 2 the standard version, incorporated all version 1 new features that had been added during the period leading up to this release date.
