New Features Added to Version 2

New name:

Reporting capabilities:

PDF file reports: Now QC-Concrete can create PDF format files without the addition of Adobe Acrobat.
Multiple page test reports: If you have more than the allowable number of specimens in a test (10 for cylinders, 6 for beams and cubes and 4 for masonry) the program will now print on as many report pages as needed to include all of the reports.
Pick a standard note for each specimen: Report notes about each specimen may be selected from a user-defined list of notes. These notes then can be printed on custom reports (not standard reports though).
Print reports about mixes in the mix database: You can now have a printed copy of the data entered for a particular mix.
Print reports about all mixes in a project: You can now have a printed copy of the data entered for all mixes in a particular project.
Print reports listing all projects: You can now have a printed copy listing the projects in your database.
Print reports listing all clients: You can now have a printed copy listing the unique clients in your database.
Printing option for all new reports: You may now choose to print all new reports which have not yet been printed.
Custom reports may include color: Color logos and color text can now be incorporated into custom report templates.

Data management features:

Import client data for new projects: New projects can now automatically retrieve the client data from the QC-Concrete database or, by using an optional module, external databases.
Break tables have new fields: To increase the flexibility of QC-Concrete for custom reports the break table has new fields available for Actual Age, Actual Break Date, Curing Location, Days of Field Cure and Days of Lab Cure. A user option is available when Actual Break Date is used to highlight specimens in yellow if the actual break date is different than the scheduled break date. Enable the yellow highlight using the break table setup form.
Update inactive status: This new utility will scan reports and specimens to ensure all records are correctly designated active or inactive based on the status of their project.
Can determine pass/fail based on ages other than 28 day: Reports with a 7, 56 or other age at which the strength is required to meet specifications can now have their average strengths calculated.
Find out you've entered a project number wrong and have already entered several reports? - No problem now: New "Change Project Number" feature.

User interface:

Failing tests shown in red: Option now available to display failing breaks in red. Break table colors: The break table can now be set up to display alternating rows in different colors.
Duplicate dimensions from previous specimen in break table: The break table can now be set up to duplicate the dimensions entered for the previous specimen.
Order of break table columns: The columns in the break table can now be rearranged. One handy use for this is to make them appear in the same order as they do on the final report.
Individual user preferences: Individual users on a network installation can pick colors, fonts, and several other preferences without affecting all users.
New toolbar button for New Projects: Clicking on the New Project lets you bypass the file menu navigation.
Link to website: Clicking on the GEOSYSTEM logo takes you directly to our website.
Pick mixes from mix database: When entering data, at the Mix Number field, double-click on the data entry field for Mix Number, or click on the mix tool button and select a mix. That mix is automatically entered in the Mix Number field.
Scroll through data from previous tests while entering field data: The data you just entered for a different report is now at your fingertips when entering new reports. Press Ctrl-[ and Ctrl-] when entering any field data to see previous values entered.

Other new features:

Version 2 is faster: QC-Concrete is now a "32 bit" program. That means that it makes more efficient use of your computer's memory and calculating power. The previous version of the program was a "16 bit" program.
No more drive letter mapping: Network paths like "\\Server\Concrete\" are now supported.
Database operations are more efficient: A newer version of the underlying database "engine" is used, called Jet 3.0. In addition to being newer, it is 32 bit instead of 16 bit (see the first item for a discussion of these terms).
Import break data from break machine data file: QC-Concrete can now automatically merge break data from a digital load display data acquisition file. This feature is only available with an optional module. Contact GEOSYSTEM for more information.
