Prerequisites:
The changes made in this release of Conquest III require Conquest II V2.58b1 or 2, which must be installed first and, if there are scripts required to update from an earlier version of Conquest II, they too, must be run before Conquest III is installed.
Functional Enhancements:
•Explorer, Editors, Lists, Reports, Options and Dialogs:
•Forward Planning Date functionality is now implemented as per Conquest II
•When using a List and the Column Filter function, the Number of Rows is qualified with the Filtered Rows. See How To Filter a List for details
•Add to Favourites Task is now available to List items from the Task Window
•The “Conquest Desktop Extender” is a Windows Installer MSI, to install an “Elevated Permissions” certificate on PCs, where Microsoft Outlook is the preferred desktop E-mail for Conquest III. See How To Set Up E-mail for details. Elevated Permissions means that Conquest III can execute other software on client PCs, where the Desktop Extender has been installed. It does not give Users any privilege changes at all. See Set Up the Conquest Desktop Extender for details
•Server Based E-mail is no longer set up in IIS, instead it is managed from the Options Form, System Options, Email section. See How To Set Up E-mail for details. This change preserves the settings even after a complete reinstall of Conquest III
•A further new System Option has been introduced; "Allow Outlook E-mail, when available". When this Option is True, Conquest III will prefer to use Outlook for E-mails provided that the following products are installed on the PC:
•The Conquest Desktop Extender
•Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later
•If these products are not installed then Conquest III will fall back to use Server Based E-mail. See How To Set Up E-mail for details.
•Integration with Dekho is implemented in this release. See How To Set Up Dekho Integration for details.
•Actions:
•A new Personal Preference Option “Prefix Action Form Header Description with the Reference ID” to add the Action Reference ID to the Action Description in the Action Form Header
•The display order of Action Diary Notes can be switched from ascending date to descending date sequence by clicking a new, Arrowhead icon above the list of Notes
Stability Enhancements:
•Explorer, Editors, Lists, Reports, Options and Dialogs:
•The Asset Hierarchy has been tuned so that expanding an Asset Node displays the child Assets much more quickly
•All Customer specific installation settings, including those from IIS SMTP, are now retained and will persist across reinstalls
•Right-Clicking on the wrong Navigation Window Item can now be cancelled with another Right-Click in a different spot
•The Copy and Move Tasks for List Items have been made clearer e.g. Copy Sub-Action, Move Child Asset
•Selecting a Report with no RDL data developed for it yet, no longer gives an error
•Selecting “Prefill” for a Report with no parameters no longer gives an error
•A further prerequisite for Conquest III Reports on Reporting Services is for all Reports to be based on the 2010 Schema
•Conquest generated E-mails no longer show the Sender
•Actions:
•While an Action is in Edit mode, the Complete Task cannot be used
•When a Document is added in URL format, it now keeps the mixture of Case as entered e.g. “/MixEd/UP/Case/”
•Assets:
•Asset Form Assets Tab now lists Child Assets using all of the available space instead of leaving a gap at the bottom
•The Replace Asset Function on an Existing Asset with a Standard Residual Value now resets the Residual correctly
•The Permissions on an Asset Type now correctly overrides the standard User/Group permission model, when creating a new Asset or changing an Existing Asset’s Asset Type
