Version 4.9.2

• Parameterized filtering of reports in manuals and online - Users portrayed that there is a problem in reusing a basically equal reporting definition. Though just the filtering was different, the whole report had to be copied and saved with the differing filter. This was time-consuming and changes in the structure of a sample report had to be rolled out manually to all copies. Reports may now be used with dynamic filters in manuals. Filtering is now defined for each chapter as parameters for existing reports. So repeating reporting definitions that differ just in filtering is unnecessary. Reports may be reused repeatedly. Already defined filters of a report are supplemented with the dynamic filters (means combined by AND). In addition the parameters may be used with the report invocations URI. Using the new reports is also possible in the assistants.

• Easier release of reports – reports can be relased up to the highest layer directly by a new function. The so far necessesary explicit release for each layer may be skipped now, so releasing is much easier and faster, if a report shall be shared for all Users (which is most common). This function is a lookahead of the changed, workflow-based release of reports in future versions.

• Detailed representation of linked resources in manuals – Until now, contents of linked objects were represented rudimentary. Processes were portrayed as simple lists. Master Data that was integrated directly in manuals was portrayed as short texts for each linked Object. Now it is possible to represent objects with all of their values. Reports can be defined to contain the desired resources, which may be linked multiple times with the objects to be represented. Processes are displayed verbosely even without explicit configuration. In this case, it is possible to define Master Data by type, if they are to be contained in a single representation or in a report.

• Optional Positioning of userdefined texts in manuals – While defining the manual it is now possible to assign the position of text entered by the online-editor. Use switches to place the text below (default up to now) or, if desired, above the content of the chapter.

• Entering text while using assistents – Now it is possible to use a new function to enter free texts (up to 256 chars) while using assistents. Use this function e.g. to parameterize filters later in an assistent.

Version 4.9

• Administering access for system-objects is now possible
• Resouces and documents appended at planning elements are readable in process tracing
• alive-IT uses UTC (Universal Time Coordinated), change the timezone at „My Profile“
• Process elements (order, plans, blocks and tasks) can be deleted cascadingly with a new function. This function needs to be assigned by the role „aliveProcessPlanningCascadingDelete“.
• Using mouse-over-text at the button „My Profile“ displays the logged in user, logintime, the configured timezone and the language. The UCM-Version is similary displayed at the text „Controll-IT UCM“ (3.0.3 build 94).
• Assistant layouts colors has been changed according to the alive-IT standards.
• Changes to a user profile are used immediately after saving. Selecting a new page will apply changes like e.g. another language or time zone immediately.
• Using an additional key in alive-properties, headlines and footers of Word-Documents to be integrated in manuals may be hidden.
• The navigational areas width containing the main menu can be changed and a vertical scrollbar will appear if needed. UCM's layout was revised.
• In the handbook definition there's a preview-function in the process-report with a dynamic assignment of process elements.
• Adjustability of the title of former „Security Informations“ in generated manuals.
• There's a maximum of concurrently visible areas in the administrational panel in Managepoint configurable. As there are more, it is possible to switch between views.
• The Login-UI was modified, so a login with an empty username and/or password is no longer possible. Entering wrong data will show an error message. Any login with wrong data will be recorded.

Version 4.8

• The representation IDs in headings of the generated manuals can be deactivated
• alive-IT supports completely the use UTF-8 symbol set
• The documentation has been reworked. Now also configuration files are extensively documented.
• The navigation and the example data were reworked for new installations
• An alarm from alive-IT can be activated through an interface to the alarm service of F24 automatically. Precondition is a service contract with the F24 AG
• Automatic actualisation of the chapter contents
• Process graphics without Sub-processes can be gate out during the manual generation
• Generation of the manuals in batch processing
• Display of generated manuals to a manual definition

Version 4.7

• The performance of the online process flow was improved once more
• Now announced users can be cancelled explicitly by entitled administrators (role "aliveSessionAdmin")

Version 4.6

• The process monitor was extended by a representation as a Gantt diagramme. On the basis of colour codes of the bars the states of the single process elements can be identified.
• The representation of SVG graphics (Process planning) was completely reworked. Now the representation is more legible and more space-saving.
• alive-IT can be pursued with star office instead of Microsoft Word or Abi Word. The necessary star office licence is included if requested in the alive-IT installation
• alive-IT 4.6 can be implemented on Sun Solaris

Version 4.5

• New attribute type for multilingual data
• Freely configureable visualisation of resources
• Reworking and functional extension of the Planning Wizard (most important extension: automatic Wizard steps)
• Connection of external data sources for resources (relational data banks and LDAP)
• The performance of the import module was clearly improved

Version 4.4

• Reworking of the multilingual abilities of the application and the Planning Wizard
• Improved ergonomics and filter possibilities in the Resource Management Module
• extensive reworking of the application layout and the user guidance
• Resource classes report for administrators
• Extension of the administration interface of the Planning Wizard
• New English documentation for users and administrators
• New installation and update routines for Windows and Unix
