9.00.26

bulletTwo new reports have been included in Pastoral Care. They are found by choosing the explore tab at the main menu then entering the ‘Create Reports’ area, once in this are choose the ‘All Group Reports’ within the tree then ‘Individual Group Reports’. Here the two new reports reside called ‘Group Report with Personal Details design 1’ and ‘Group Report with Personal Details design 2’

These two reports assigns a page for each group listing all the members of the group including their address, phone number, mobile phone, email address and birth date. The difference between the two reports is that one gives all group details, i.e. group leader, when and where the group meet etc and the other report doesn’t give the group details.

This new report is very useful for giving group leaders so they have a list of all the people in their group as well as their personal details. Another usefulness is giving the Elders of the church a list of all the people under each elders care if the churches use elders for this purpose.

Also in this update is a fix the Roll family Analysis report and a minor fix to the family notebook for a rare situation of the notebook creating unnecessary notebook files with no information in them

A fix has been added with a bug when using the letter program and you choose to add individual surnames.

A fix has been added to custom reports when using the family dates object and choosing the function of not printing the family if no data is found.

9.00.25

bulletWhen running a custom letter report it did not pick up a ‘preferred name’ when it was set up for a person on the family file, instead it would also pick up their given name, this has now been fixed.
bulletA new function has been added so that when running a custom letter the ‘Format’ function which works for standard reports now works on custom letter objects.
 

9.00.24

bulletWhen running the all-individual group details report within legend, the report would show groups who have been made inactivate in Pastoral Care when it should only show active groups, this has now been fixed.

In the Family file set-up area when editing an individual group name, the program would make the edited group deactivate after the edit meaning a user had to tick on the group again to make it active again, this has now been fixed.

9.00.23

bullet

The PC Doctor program had problems repairing a database on large hard drives. This has now been fixed.

9.00.22

bullet

When sending emails with attachments the attachments would multiply on the emails as more emails where being sent in an email bulk run, this issue has now been resolved.

9.00.21

bullet

The roster program has the option to using ‘Arial Narrow’ font to make the roster more efficient in its use of space across the page. Many Microsoft applications install this font on a user system, for those users who don’t have this font the roster program will give an error message when trying to use the font. Installing this update will install the appropriate font so that you can take advantage of the space saving Arial Narrow font.

9.00.20

bullet

In the family editor on the visitation tab when you use the ‘Today’ button the focus then shifts to the next entry field which is the name of the person that did the visitation.

In the legends area when you click on a group to view who is within the group now a caption will appear to inform you how many people exist in the group, this is the same as it was in PC2002 but was not in PC9re until now.

When in a family file and you press the find button to view all the families available the current family file you are in is highlighted within the find window, this the same as it was in PC2002 but was not in PC9re until now

In the Roster program for the format of the names in the output as well as when you force a name to be formatted upper case for the first letter then lower case for the remaining letters in reports within other areas of the program the program would incorrectly format names beginning with ‘Mc’ and ‘Mac’ this has now been fixed

A new function has been added to the roster program for the outputs, now the user can have multiple names on a single line within a cell, previously only one name per line, now the user can select from 1 to 15 names per line.

9.00.19

bullet

Within the family editor a bug existed when entering a school year value and you where on a tab other than the ‘Details’ tab for individual details, this has now been fixed.

9.00.18

bullet

A new feature has been added for everyone’s first download of an update of Pc9re, now in custom reports when creating a multi column report the user can choose if they want to print either down the page or across the page, the previous default was only down the page. In the ‘Create Reports’ area when creating a report of multi column portrait church directories you now have an option to print either across the page or down the page, pressing the ‘Range’ button in the toolbar will access this option

bullet

The custom report vertical line object has been improved to that as a custom report cycles through family the horizontal line can join together through each family file on the condition that the bottom of the horizontal line is lower than the bottom of the lowest object used in the report

bullet

An issue was discovered with some reports when they where exported as PDF some lines on the report disappeared, this has now been fixed

bullet

The roster set-up area has been improved, as certain unusual entry combinations would cause the program to inform the user that it was unable to save the set-up, this has been fixed so that a user is unable to incorrectly enter a wrong combination of information

bullet

 When introducing a special event in the roster program, for example Christmas Day, and you use the alternate shading option between days listed on the roster report the shading would sometimes not work, this has now been fixed. 

bullet

In the roster program using an unusual sequence in changing from different events then removing people from a duty the program would occasionally report an error has occurred, this has now been fixed.

bullet

A new memory feature has been added to the date selection of the reports area, grid view area and auto build area. Previously when changing a roster event the date’s selection would reset the selection of the dates because it would have to rebuild the available dates to include the new roster event selected. Now the program remembers the previous selection of the roster dates and if they exist in the new date build they are automatically selected

bullet

It has been discovered when converting from Pastoral Care 2002 that some custom reports that where designed as an A4 report would appear as an A5 report in Pastoral Care 9re. This has now been resolved so that they appear as they where created in Pastoral Care 2002.
