Changes To The User Interface
- Windows XP Themes Supported
Windows XP users will love the integration of Windows XP themes in to ProMaster Key Manager 5.
- Larger Buttons
Gone are the small buttons. ProMaster Key Manager5 has larger, easier to read, easier to find buttons for the most common tasks.
- System Details On Each Window
Each window (where applicable) now shows you the System Number and Site Description so there’s no confusion about which system you are working on.
Backing Up Your Data
- Easily Backup Your Data
With the new backup program, making a backup of your ProMaster Key Manager5 database is as simple as it gets. Backups may also be zipped automatically so they use less storage. Remember, in order to protect against a failure of the hard drive in your computer, you should burn the backup to CD or other permanent media.
- Reoccurring Backups For Reoccurring Protection
For protection of your data without having to remember, configure ProMaster Key Manager5 for Auto Backup. We recommend you configure your Windows Schedule Software for at minimum weekly backups.
Simpler Integrated Upgrade
The database upgrade, previously a stand-alone program, is now accessed from the ProMaster Key Manager5 Tools menu. The tasks of upgrading the database and loading the program into the database are now performed at the same time. When you upgrade your ProMaster Key Manager4 database to ProMaster Key Manager5 you’ll see the new integrated database upgrade in action.
Data Entry Changes
- Drill Down
From many places you can now “Drill Down” to see related data, so you no longer need to leave what you are doing to get more information.
- Key And Door Sorting
When you are sorting keys or doors, you can now right click on the list to get a menu. The menu also shows you the keyboard shortcuts for increased efficiency. Doors can be sorted by stamping now.
- Removing Uppercase Entries
You know how sometimes it’s too much effort to type in mixed case, or perhaps you left the caps lock on by mistake. It doesn’t look good, it’s hard to read, and it takes too much space on printouts. Now ProMaster 5 will automatically convert entries that are in upper case to title case. If the entry you type has any lower case letters then ProMaster Key Managerwill leave it alone. New application parameters have been added to turn this behaviour off if you really want to keep entries in upper case.
- Bulk Change Keys And Doors
New options have been added to key and door bulk change to allow changing of the case of descriptions and areas.
- Door Area Selection From Drop Down List
When you are adding or editing doors, we’ve added a drop down list to select a door area that has already been used. Or if you want a new area, simply type it in as you’re used to doing.
Changes To Orders
- Finding Orders
Finding orders is easier with the addition of a Date Range search and also the ability to specify a particular key on the order.
- Examining Signatories On Restricted Systems
On systems with restricted signatory authorities, you can examine the authorized signatories for each key as you place the order. If there are insufficient signatories for an order you can quickly see who needs to authorize the order.
- Signatories
On systems that are restricted by signatory, you now have the ability to examine which keys each signatory may order, and which signatories may order each key.
- Quantity On Hand
As you order keys you can see the quantity of each key that has already been produced.
Key Bunches
- Managing Key Bunches
Managing key bunches is easier now you can examine the access for each key in the bunch as well as the whole bunch.
- Broken Keys In A Bunch
Facility has been added to break and replace a key in bunch without first returning it to the key cabinet and removing the broken key from the bunch.
Key Holders
- Finding And Adding Key Holders
Finding key holders is enhanced by providing new search criteria on Key Holder Category and Area. When Key Holders are added, a check is performed to ensure that the same key holder is not added a second time in error. When adding a Key Holder, there is the facility to copy the company details from another Key Holder, and the Area is offered as a drop down list for you to choose from.
- Purging Key Holders
An administrative option has been added to purge inactive key holders.
Issuing And Returning Keys
- Defaults For Return By Time
Each Key Holder Category may have a Return By Time defined which is automatically offered when issuing keys.
- Defaults For Printing And Emailing
Instead of being asked each time if you want to print a confirmation form for the Key Holder, the default is now defined by an application parameter. Similarly there is a default setting for the new ability to email a key issue confirmation to the Key Holder.
Reporting Changes
- New Report Compromised Doors
This report looks at the lost keys to produce a list of all doors that can be opened by a lost key, and shows the number of lost keys that operate each door.
- New Report Lost Key Reporting Form
This report produces a form for a Key Holder to complete when they have lost keys.
- New Report Key Order History
This report produces a form for a Key Holder to complete when they have lost keys.
