We are pleased to announce the re-release of PhonePad Version 4.21. Here is a summary of changes that are included in this release:
- Added an option to disable Inbox message filtering.
- Added an option to delay data connection for Remote Mode.
- Fixed issue with user accounts disabling not working correctly.
- Fixed issue with Follow Up Notes not being archived.
The new message list has not been included in this release due to technical issues with getting it to perform satisfactorily. It may reappear in 4.23 or later (changes for 4.22 have already been finalized) if we can get it to perform at an acceptable level, otherwise we will be sourcing another 3rd party grid control to replace it.
Message Filtering Disabling
Message filtering can be completely disabled under Preferences.
Data Connection Delay Option
There can be problems if you are using PhonePad in Remote Mode (Client/Server) and it is set to start up automatically when Windows starts. PhonePad may try to connect to the PhonePad Server before the network connection is ready, causing connection errors. To cater for these situations, we have added an option to delay start up connections. This setting is controlled by DBConnect.
You can set the exact amount of time for the delay in milliseconds. 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.
Upgrading Your PhonePad Database
You will need to upgrade your PhonePad database by running DBUpdate after upgrading PhonePad.
Download PhonePad Version 4.21
You can download version 4.21 by logging in to www.myphonepad.com and selecting the My Downloads option, or by going to the PhonePad download page.
Important: When you upgrade PhonePad, please make sure you don’t accidentally create a second PhonePad database. When you run DBUpdate, make sure that the Data Directory setting is pointing to your existing PhonePad data folder, and not a new folder.
