Questions and suggestions


 

I'm pretty sure this product has more documentation than any other ham software I've seen so far. Very impressive. It's answered many of my questions I had at first, and the videos helped even more.?

A few things that I either haven't figured out, or might be recommendations for updates.

Contacts-
  • In the contact edit screen, can you add a 'hotkey' for moving between records? This would be useful for doing faster updates of multiple contacts...
  • Is it possible to add sorting to the main contact view (other than the pre-configured ones) ?
  • Can we add or remove columns from the main contacts view? There are some I'd like to see in the main view, and others I'd be glad to not see.

QSL Report creation-
Two items that would be very helpful
  • A zoom function for those of us who have to have things 'pixel perfect' (I found that doing a print preview and changing the zoom there is good for inspecting the results, but a little slow)
  • An Undo (ctrl-Z) capability (luckily I save often..)
  • I like the samples you included. Some of them have callsigns coded into the search query, which is confusing when you try to preview them and no values show up. Until you figure out the query is in there, it can be confusing. I have different cards for fixed and mobile, so the query part of the definition is very cool

Frank,

Thanks for the comments.

1) How would you invision hot keys on the contact edit screen? In the 04 version soon to be released I have aded alt+p for previous record, and alt=N for next record.
2) What kind of sorting would you like?
3) I will take a look at column customization
4) The Report Manager is a commercial product so there are not many options for changing the look and feel.
5) I will go back through my samples and remove any callsign that may be there.

In the next version to be released soom there is a new feature called "Instant QSL". This will allow you to send QSL cards via email rather than through the mail.

  1. How would you envision hot keys on the contact edit screen? In the 04 version soon to be released I have added alt+p for previous record, and alt=N for next record.

Yes ¨C that would be great. That way I can set up a query with items I want to modify, and then click the option I want to change, and then hotkey to the next one, so I don¡¯t have to keep mouse clicking back and forth.

  1. What kind of sorting would you like?

????? ??For example, I have my qsl number system in the remarks field, if I could click on the column header for remarks and have it sort ascending, and click again for descending ¨C that would be good.
3) I will take a look at column customization
4) The Report Manager is a commercial product so there are not many options for changing the look and feel.

?????? Yep ¨C I had a feeling that was the case.
5) I will go back through my samples and remove any callsign that may be there.

?????? It¡¯s actually something cool to show ¨C how you can make different cards for various scenarios ¨C such as callsigns, states, mobile vs fixed etc. but keeping it straight, and making sure you print everything before using the update function, is easy to make a mistake with if you¡¯re not paying attention (like I did yesterday..)
