What's new in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 7.2 Build 5771

Oct 21, 2015
  • There was an error in the Gauge Lists system which caused some of the data to become confused.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 7.1 Build 5738 (Sep 17, 2015)

  • We have made the software much faster by altering the module structure.
  • The software modules used to be seperate executables which meant that it was always possible to go back to the startup module.
  • However this caused the Startup as well as the other modules to be extremely slow to load.
  • The new Version 7 structure has every screen owned by the StartUp Module and hence the system runs much faster.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.9 Build 5672 (Jul 13, 2015)

  • Added a free KPI/KRA Library into the Balanced Scorecard Module

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.8 Build 4954 (Jul 25, 2013)

  • We have added a database pack facility to the Integrity Checker Tab.
  • The need for this Pack facility is primarily driven by how much record deletion has been done and/or if the StrategyKpi application has crashed leaving a Database Operation only partly completed, and thus requiring a pack to free it.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.7 Build 4838 (Apr 11, 2013)

  • When users clicked on the Visionary Statements the display arrow facility switched into Theme Mode.
  • This was quite annoying and has now been fixed so that the display only switches to Display Theme Arrows Mode when you actually click on the Themes.
  • This bug was actually created a couple of months ago when the Strategy Map code was modified to fix another issue, so if you were not using one of the recent builds then you would not have seen this problem.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.7 Build 4832 (Mar 29, 2013)

  • The Theme Arrow Display Mode activated when Map was clicked in the Visionary Statements zone, this has now been fixed.
  • This was caused by a bug in Strategy Map Draw Arrow Row Detection system, and it caused the Theme arrows to draw when the header section was clicked.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.6 Build 4756 (Jan 8, 2013)

  • Improved Error Checking for Grid Mouse Click Events.
  • A bug on the Clear Button inside the Date Setting Screen Control was fixed.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.6 Build 4748 (Jan 3, 2013)

  • Improved Error Checking.
  • We have used the Error Handler that was created for V7 or our software and partially incorporated this in the current version 6.6

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.6 Build 4649 (Oct 2, 2012)

  • This module has been totally restructured to be compatible with Version 7.
  • The Display-only, Edit and other Data components have been seperated so that it is ready for V7 which will allow Read-Only operation for some users depending on their status as determined by their password controlled login.
  • Initial work done to enable an entire website to be created at the click of a button.
  • A static XML/HTML website will be created for the selected Strategic Plan so that the Plan data wcan be viewed using an Internet Browser on the public Internet or private IntraNet.
  • This is yet another Version 7 facility that we are adding in to V6, so that when V7 is available it will look much the same but have a different database which will allow us to continue with valuable improvements.
  • This valuable Create Website feature is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and we hope to have it available soon as we expect it to be very popular.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4601 (Oct 2, 2012)

  • Value Statement Label Text Length increased to 50 characters as requested by Husky Energy
  • The previous build did not set the folder permissions correctly.
  • Hence new installations could not open the database files if they did not click on the [Next] button in the popup permissions window.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4441 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • We have released a build that uses the VistaDb database from www.GibraltarSoftware.com as the embedded datatase system.
  • This is a non-Microsoft database but which is written using Microsoft Visual Studio and runs under the Microsoft Dot Net Framework.
  • The Build 4441 with the VistaDb Embedded database is now our primary download.
  • The build that uses the dbJet MS-Acess database engine has been retired. However if necessary, we may release a build that uses the dbJet MS-Acess database engine.
  • All users can migrate to the VistaDb enbedded version by exporting their strategic plans to XML format before installing the current build. After installing then import the XML file into the newly installed software build.
  • This does not affect Licensed MS-SQL users unless they need to Opt-out and connect to a private database file.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4356 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • Computer corruption to our MSI file system causes us to publish a software build that Windows was unable to run.
  • The exact cause if this is unknown but we believe that it is linked to the failed upgrade of our development computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 in late October which took Microsoft 3 days to fix.
  • Our special thanks go out to the developers and managers at ComponentOne.com who provide all our software tools and gave us special assistance and support on this issue.
  • These people are undoubtedly the world's best supplier of third party software tools and they offer an excellent product spectrum. for software developers.
  • Frankly we would not be in existence if it were not for this facility which provides a clear level of quality above that offered by the standard Microsoft tools.
  • So next time you are using our software please remember that a lot of the screen controls are provided by ComponentOne.com and that this is responsible for the look, feel and operation of our software.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4315 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • Adjustments made to the splash screen Icon plus the Icon on the Startup module to be fully compatible with Windows 7.
  • Intermittent Error in Strategy Map Module Startup was fixed.
  • The reported error was that the RibonCombBox.SelectedIndex value was out of range and was caused by us attempting to set the gauge drop down box selected index to 5 when the maximum was 4.
  • A similar problen occurred in the Strategy Map when the font size was saved.
  • There is a facility to change the Objective Font size as well as other properties such as color.
  • The font was saved as something like 8,25 which when retrieved was taken as 825. This caused the font to look extremely large and the map formatting was ruined.
  • We have fixed this problem and also prevented the maximum font size from exceeding 24 points.
  • Problems with the financial data not being saved in the Balanced Scorecard Edit Mode when used in European Number format have been fixed.
  • The problem was caused by the thousands "group" period seperator in number formats such as 12.345,67 and when the number was retrieved it was interpreted as 12.34567.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4247 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • Splash screen has been added because the first time the software is started th eload time can be excessive because the dot net framework needs to setup a data structure.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4239 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • Status messages plus the Hourglass or Wait cursor added to the Duplicate a Tree Node function.
  • Status message added to the Update Initiative or Monthly grid when the Objectives grid gauges was recalculated.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.5 Build 4228 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • With some data combinations the gantt grid rows were not displayed correctly. When the Weighting column was defined but the show checkbox was not clicked, the Objectives grid filder did not display correctly.
  • As a temporary measure we have ignored this checkbox setting so that the weighting column always shows if is has been defined.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.4 Build 4187 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • We have produced and released a version that uses the 64 bit VistaDb database system from Gibralta Software.
  • In this version we have also set the Processor type to be "Any CPU" whichmeans that it can run in 64 bit mode.
  • However if you have existing data in the msAccess database system then you will need to export this to an XML file before installing the 64 bit version.
  • There was a bug in the add Country/State/Region where the software produced an error if the address details were not entered.
  • This should have only been a warning and the software has now been changed to do this.

New in Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard 6.4 Build 4184 (Jul 10, 2012)

  • General Testing and fixing of minor errors and refinements.
  • We are now working on Version 7 with a totally new database design, however the screens will not be changing except for the addtional facilities that the new database design can bring.
