Prerequisites:
The changes made in this release of Conquest III require Conquest II V2.58b1 or 2, to be installed first and, if there are scripts required to update from an earlier version of Conquest II, they too must be run and the “Refresh System Objects” function performed, before Conquest III is installed.
Performance and Stability Enhancements:
•Explorer, Editors, Lists, Reports, Options and Dialogs:
•Report Filters are now displayed in alphabetic, Filter Name order and with Filter icons; System (red) and User (blue)
•In Lists of Actions, the “Show Completed Actions” checkbox now correctly overrides the permanent option set in the “Personal Preference” section of the Options Form. The override lasts for the current Conquest III session
•When changing a List Item by selecting the "Empty" item in a Drop List selector, the changed data is now compatible with Conquest II
•Actions:
•A selected Contractor can now be cleared from an Action
•The Drop List of available Contractors in the Action form, now displays correctly
•The Standard Action list for a non-administrator User now displays the Standard Actions correctly
•When Copying a Repeatable Action, the Costs are now included and the Schedule Estimations are calculated correctly
•Copied Actions are now prefixed with “Copy of ” as per Conquest II
•When Assigning a Standard Action to a Master Action, the List now displays Master Standard Actions only
•The Select Master Action Function now forces all edits to be saved, when the Master Action is applied
•The “Related Items” tab on Master Actions is now formatted with vertical tabs for each type of Related Item, dramatically improving its load time
•Completing a Repeatable Master Action with a large number of sub actions is now faster and more reliable. However, if the number of Sub-Actions is more than 100, for example, and the Forward Planning date is set, then a large transaction will be generated. For this to work, the network components for Conquest III must able to process the transaction as well as normal transactions before network level timeout events take place. There are Conquest III Prerequisites described in the Conquest III Installation Guide
•Planned Start Date is now always used to calculate the date of the next Action for a Limited Schedule
