Was ist neu beim ACT! Update 7.0.4 ?
Verfasst: Dienstag 13. September 2005, 15:02
Hier ein wichtiger Hinweis zu den neuen Berichtsvorlagen aus der Liesmich.txt-Datei des dt. ACT! 7.04 Updates:
Damit man sich diesen Weg sparen kann, habe ich die neuen Berichtsdateien im "Reports-Unterordner" in einer ZIP-Datei zusammengefasst: ACT704deReports.zip. Man braucht Sie nur nach dem Update auf 7.04 in den Reports-Ordner der bestehenden Datenbanken ersetzen.
Leider wurde in den neuen Report-Dateien nicht die Übersetzung von "Date" nach "Datum" vorgenommen (s. "Sortierung von Notizen, Protokollen, Aufgaben in Berichten"). Diese Korrektur habe ich gleich in den gezippten Dateien vorgenommen.

Aktualisierte Berichtsvorlagen
*******************************
Das ACT! 7.0.4 Update enthält aktualisierte Berichtsvorlagen. Wenn Sie auf ACT! 7.0.4 updaten müssen Sie eine neue Datenbank erstellen und danach die Berichtsvorlagen aus dem Berichtsverzeichnis der neuen Datenbank in das Berichtsverzeichnis der Datenbank kopieren, die Sie verwenden. Führen Sie dazu folgende Schritte aus:
1. Wählen Sie "Datei", "Neue Datenbank".
2. Wählen Sie einen Namen für die Datenbank und einen Benutzernamen. Notieren Sie sich den Ablageort der neuen Datenbank.
3. Klicken Sie die Schaltfläche "OK", um die neue Datenbank anzulegen
4. Nachdem die neue Datenbank angelegt wurde und der Kontaktbildschirm angezeigt wird, beenden Sie ACT!
5. Öffnen Sie den Windows Explorer und navigieren Sie zum Ablageort der
Datenbank aus Schritt 2
6. In Schritt 2 haben Sie für die neue Datenbank einen Namen gewählt.
Für diese neue Datenbank finden Sie einen Ablageort mit dem Namen
"Name der neuen Datenbank"-'database files'. Bpsw. heißt der Ablageort für einen Datenbank mit dem Namen "Kontakte" 'Kontakte-database files'. Öffnen Sie das Datenbankverzeichnis der Datenbank, die Sie neu angelegt haben.
7. Unterhalb des Datenbankverzeichnisses finden Sie ein das Berichtsver-
zeichnis, das die neuen Berichtsvorlagen enthält. Öffnen Sie dieses
Verzeichnis
8. Kopieren Sie alle neuen Berichtsvorlagen in das Berichtsverzeichnis jeder Datenbank, die Sie verwenden. Verwenden Sie mehrere Datenbank, müssen Sie die neuen Berichtsvorlagen mehrfach kopieren. Damit können Sie die neuen Berichtsfunktionen für die Standardberichte in der Version 7.0.4 nutzen.
WARNUNG: Das Kopieren der neuen Berichtsvorlagen überschreibt alle
Berichtsvorlagen, die Sie im Berichtsverzeichnis Ihrer Datenbank(en) haben. Wenn Sie die Standard-Berichtsvorlagen angepaßt haben oder Berichtsvorlagen angelegt haben, die dieselben Namen wie die neuen Berichtsvorlagen haben, erstellen Sie ein Backup dieser Vorlagen, BEVOR Sie die neuen Berichtsvorlagen kopieren und führen Sie Ihre Anpassungen in den neuen Berichtsvorlagen erneut durch.Leider wurde in den neuen Report-Dateien nicht die Übersetzung von "Date" nach "Datum" vorgenommen (s. "Sortierung von Notizen, Protokollen, Aufgaben in Berichten"). Diese Korrektur habe ich gleich in den gezippten Dateien vorgenommen.
