WHAT'S NEW IN DIMANAGE 3.0
DIMANAGE 3.0 is an update to the version of the program that was released
in November 1991. A few of the changes are minor bug fixes, and others are
enhancements requested by our users. Each change that is "visible" to you
as the user is explained below:
o A field has been added to the tenant database for tracking past due
rent, and the rent receipt input form will automatically update the
rent due when you move the cursor out of the Amount field. This way,
if you receive a partial rent payment you have a way to keep track of
the amount still due. In addition to this, the Late Rent Report has
been modified to show these balances (if they are non-zero,) in an
all-new report format.
o In support of the above features, DIMANAGE will also update the rent
due field at your request. This way, you can ask the program to add
the periodic rent to the current rent due figure to reflect that rent
is now due again.
o The Tenant List (accessed by pressing F2) and the Tenant Database now
have a check mark next to a tenant's name if rent is due.
o You may choose to send DIMANAGE reports to the screen, to your printer
or to a file. The last of these options is the new one, and permits
you to edit the reports with your word processor before printing them.
If you choose to send the reports to a file, the output file will be
given a name reflecting the type of report. For example, the vacancy
report is sent to a file named VACANT.PRN.
o A function has been added to the Utilities menu that will allow you to
create comma- delimited files from your DIMANAGE transaction databases.
This format can be imported directly into many spreadsheet programs,
allowing you to perform additional analysis and to prepare special
reports. This function replaces DBF2CSV.EXE, a utility previously
provided to registered users.
o The number of allowable check memo entries has been increased from 50
to 100. You will receive a warning message if you have exceeded this
number.
o A pop-up calendar has been added, which you may access by pressing F3.
If you are editing a date field, you may use the arrow keys and the
PgUp/PgDn keys to select the desired date. Pressing Enter will copy
the date to the field you are editing.
o A utility program named BALANCES.EXE has been developed to allow users
to modify the starting balances of their transaction databases. We
have provided this program as a stand-alone module that is password
protected so that you may control who has authority to modify starting
balances.
o Additional error checking has been added, especially with respect to
the System Record and blank records.
o The escape key has been activated for menus, on-screen reports and data
entry forms. You can now terminate any screen report, menu or entry
form by pressing the <Esc> key.
