What's new in MadCap Pulse (formerly MadCap Feedback Server) 2.0

Dec 18, 2009
  • SQL Server machine can be separate from IIS machine
  • Simplified installation and setup with greater flexibility. Customers are no longer limited to having the database on the same PC that is hosting the Feedback web services.
  • Database Performance Optimization
  • The Feedback database has been optimized for performance and scalability.
  • Editable and Customizable User Profiles
  • Authors can now customize the information that is required when users register their user profile. In addition, users of the documentation can now edit their user profiles after they have been created.
  • End-user Email Notifications
  • Users of the online documentation can optionally receive email notifications when certain events take place on the documentation. For example, users can receive an email when replies are left to their comments.
  • Context-Sensitive Help (CSH) ID Tracking
  • Authors can now keep track of how many times each of their context-sensitive help identifiers have been invoked.
  • Reset topic view counts, topic ratings, CSH call counts, and search counts.
  • Topic view, topic rating, and search statistics can be reset. This is useful when you update content in the documentation and want to "clean the slate".
  • IP Address Filtering
  • Filter out IP addresses from more accurate online documentation usage tracking. For example, you might want to filter out PCs that are used for testing purposes from being counted toward topic views, search counts, etc.
  • Date Filtering (in the Topics pane)
  • Filter topic statistics by dates.
