you need it but shouldn&#8217;t get in your way.<\/p>\n<p>Mac users will probably notice it looks remarkably like the dock on their Macs.\u00c2\u00a0 Not only does it look similar, it works similar as well.<\/p>\n<p>There are two new buttons: one will take you straight to your <strong>Inbox<\/strong>, and the other one will take you to your due <strong>Reminders<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 On top of that, the Inbox button displays how many <em>unread messages<\/em> are in your Inbox, and the Reminders button displays the number of <em>due reminders<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Hey what&#8217;s that?\u00c2\u00a0 5209 unread messages?\u00c2\u00a0 Someone has been slacking off!\u00c2\u00a0 Or it could be our test database.<\/p>\n<p>Another handy addition is the ability to configure <strong>ControlBar<\/strong> to only show the buttons you want.<\/p>\n<a

customers had requested the ability to relocate the PhonePad database on a different drive as they only store the operating system on the C: drive, and data on another drive, eg. D:.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We had added the ability to do this in a previous version, although it wasn&#8217;t complete.\u00c2\u00a0 Server updates still tried updating the standard location and some of the database tools were not handling the different location well.\u00c2\u00a0 In this release we have updated everything to allow for relocated databases so relocating your database should be much less painful.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you leave your database in the default location, but if you really need to relocate it then the new location should now be fully supported.\u00c2\u00a0 If you find it isn&#8217;t, please let us know as soon as possible and we&#8217;ll sort it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post_content\">\n<h3>Changes in This Release<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>NEW &#8211; ControlBar has been given a facelift and new functionality.<\/li>\n<li>IMPROVED &#8211; The RelocateDatabase has been updated to improve relocating the PhonePad 5 database to another drive\/folder.<\/li>\n<li>UPDATED &#8211; All database programs have been updated to work with relocated databases.<\/li>\n<li>FIXED &#8211; The database update process now correctly updates relocated databases.<\/li>\n<li>Minor fixes and improvements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Installation Information<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> Server Updates <strong>must<\/strong> be installed on your Server or Host PC, not your workstation (unless your workstation is also the Host PC) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c they <strong>cannot<\/strong> be installed directly on your workstations.\u00c2\u00a0 Make sure all users are logged out of PhonePad as the PhonePad Server will be stopped during the update and then restarted once it has completed.\u00c2\u00a0 Workstations will be automatically updated when PhonePad 5 Workstation is started on each workstation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important<\/strong>: When downloading and installing an update from your My PhonePad account, <strong>make sure it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually the update<\/strong> and <strong>not<\/strong> the server setup program.\u00c2\u00a0 The update will <strong>update<\/strong> your database whereas the setup program will <strong>overwrite<\/strong> it with a blank database.<\/p>\n<h3>Updates and Anti-Virus Software<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the anti-virus software you use, when you install a Server Update your AV software may class the updated software as a different program due to the change in binary signature.\u00c2\u00a0 If you experience speed or freezing issues after an update, you may need to reconfigure your AV software to stop real-time scanning of PhonePad.\u00c2\u00a0 This may need to be done on the both your Server or Host PC, and your workstations.<\/p>\n<h3>Important Information If You Are Updating from PhonePad Version 5.35.x<\/h3>\n<p>Some code was added to the PhonePad loader program (the blue window with the PhonePad logo that finds the server connection) to log what security software was installed on the workstation that we would use to diagnose any startup issues.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately on some Windows 7 workstations this caused the PhonePad loader to just sit there and do nothing.\u00c2\u00a0 We don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know why this would have caused this and, as far as we have been able to ascertain, it only affects Windows 7 workstations.<\/p>\n<p>This code has been removed so this problem should no longer occur once these workstations have been updated to 5.36.0 or higher.\u00c2\u00a0 However, it does mean that the PhonePad Version 5.36.0 workstation setup program will need to be manually downloaded and installed on any affected workstations.<\/p>\n<h3>Downloading the Update<\/h3>\n<p>You can download the update from your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myphonepad.com\">My PhonePad<\/a> account.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a trial user please contact <a href=\"mailto:support@cybercom-software.com\">Support<\/a> for a download link for this version.<\/p>\n<p>Please contact <a href=\"mailto:support@cybercom-software.com\">Support<\/a> if you have any problems or questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce the release of PhonePad Version 5.51.0.
