The Item List Tab

January 23rd, 2012

We’ve taken what used to be called the ‘Property Room’ tab, made a few improvements and renamed it the ‘Item List’ tab. You still have the ability to view a list of specific items contained in a given location, plus a whole lot more. You can now use it to produce a list of items that meet specific criteria, such as those with a similar ‘status’ or ‘category’. Quite simply, the ‘Item List’ tab still does everything the ‘Property Room’ tab did, but adds the functionality of a ‘Quick Search’ for a more efficient viewing process.

When you first enter the ‘Item List’ tab, you’ll see a column on the left that allows you to select the status. You can select one, all or multiple (by pressing the Control key). Because only checked-in items can be assigned a storage location within your system, to view the ‘Location’ drop-down menu, you’ll need to select ‘Checked-in’.

Software update – Version 11.12.13

December 15th, 2011

New Features

Tracker Products software now fully supports printing to adhesive label sheets.

Label sheets

Tracker Products software now fully supports printing to adhesive label sheets (such as those sold by Avery), allowing you to use your favorite inkjet or laser printer to create bar code labels. You’ll be able to select the labels you need to print, and send them to the appropriate printer. You also have the option of selecting a starting point when printing to a less-than-full sheet of adhesive labels.

Duplicate Splitting

With this update, you can now create new item splits and then duplicate additional splits from the parent.

Reference option for attached pictures and documents

When adding a picture or document, you now have the ability to reference a file that might be in another location, such as a server, hard drive or the internet. A link to the referenced file will allow you to access it from the outside location.

Hide case/person entry

You now have the ability to hide the case/person data entry functionality from standard users of your tracking system if so desired.

Fixes

This software update also fixes and addresses some known issues. Click here for more information.

Software update: Random Item Inventory

November 21st, 2011

Random Item Inventories just got a lot better. Previously, if you wanted to run a random inventory on a sampling of your items, you had to include every item category and all storage locations. Now, with the latest update to the Tracker Products system, you have greater control over your reports, and can generate inventories based on specific storage locations and even specific item categories. Now, for example, you can run a random report to review ten percent of drug-related items in a specific locker.

Combo Box update

October 19th, 2011

The Tracker Products system now uses GMT timezone conversion for all time stamped data stored within the software, allowing all users to view time stamps adjusted for their geographic location. An entry at 2 p.m. in New York will show up as an 11 a.m. entry when viewed in Los Angeles – a true reflection of the actual time difference between the two regions.

When making the switch to GMT, some of our customers began to notice that their systems were not formatted in such a way to allow for accurate timezone conversion. This update is designed to address that issue, adding a date input (see picture above) to pre-existing time fields to ensure that all future time stamps can be properly stored in the universal GMT format.

Note: Because a date input is now part of the time collection field, you may find it repetitive and unnecessary to collect the date in a separate field. If you choose to remove additional date fields, you’ll need to update all current reports that display date information so that they use the date supplied in the new time fields instead of a separate date field.

Stay tuned – we’ll be contacting customers individually in the coming weeks and applying the new update as we are able.

Item splitting upgrade

October 18th, 2011

The Tracker Products item splitting feature is about to get a much anticipated enhancement. We’ve upgraded the naming convention and display for split items to help you better organize and clear up any confusion.

Now, when you split an item, the resulting item will automatically have a decimal followed by a number appended to the end of its name. Say, for example, you split item #5. The resulting item will automatically be named #5.1. Split it again and the resulting item’s name will be #5.1.1. This way, you’ll easily be able to determine the item’s generation as it relates to the original.

Additionally, items resulting from splits will now be displayed next to their parent item (See image above).

Note: Any legacy items currently in your system will continue to display the previous format.

Note: Splitting functionality is now exclusively part of the Bucket list. To access, click on the Bucket List and choose “Split Item”.
