What's new in past releases?

Some of the updates and new features in the 9.0 release include:

• The new To do list replaces the old "Warning screen". It shows items that need attention for a selectable time period. The list can be filtered and ordered so that you can prioritize action items.

• The E-mail button allows the To do list to be e-mailed to whomever you choose. This feature expands upon the functionality of the previous e-mail icon.

• The Gage form has been vastly improved to streamline workflow.

• The gage form allows you to edit Choice lists on the fly.

• The History list can be sorted by any of the columns and you can also specify a range of dates.

Some of the updates and new features in the 8.5 release include:

• Simplify the process of calibrating your gages with the new calibration wizard. The wizard guides you through the steps for calibrating gages and printing worksheets and reports.

• Use GAGEpack Remote when calibrating gages away from your PC. GAGEpack remote is a utility that can be installed on a laptop to take with you to the shop floor--or wherever your gages are maintained. Enter results into GAGEpack Remote, then synchronize the results with the GAGEpack database when you return to your PC.

• Use GAGEmail to manage email alerts 24/7, such as reminders to calibrate or friendly warnings of overdue calibrations, to individuals or groups.

Some of the updates and new features in the 8.0 release include:

• Create up to 10 customized toolbars for calibration, inventory management, MSA, or even individual technicians, then quickly switch among them to personalize your main screen.

• Perform a verification between calibrations to verify that a gage is still in calibration. The new Verification event is similar to a calibration event except that it does not affect the calibration due date. You can even add verification steps that are different from the calibration steps for the gage.

• Track any number of individual maintenance actions per gage in the enhanced maintenance section. Define simple maintenance tasks, each with its own cycle time (due period), display these tasks on the new calendar option, and generate associated reports.

• Record more detailed event information by adding up to two additional user-defined fields to event type (calibration, maintenance, etc). The fields can also have a user entered drop-down choice list attached to them.

• An Upgrade Wizard allows you to transfer all of your settings from a previous GAGEpack installation for a seamless upgrade of both the gage and choice list databases.

• Ensure consistency among events and save data entry time by using optional drop down choice lists for event names.

• Tighten security measures by employing the new lockout function that can lock GAGEpack against intruders if a PC is to be left unattended.

• Many new user-defined fields and customizable drop-down choice lists allow you to further customize GAGEpack EZ for your specific application.
