viewEZ Changelog

What's new in viewEZ 16.5.3

Oct 5, 2017
  • Fixed - Restored compatibility for select date/time format options in Excel exports.

New in viewEZ 12.1.0 (Jul 13, 2015)

  • New - Open Database dialog: Option to save server names in Notes.ini for future reference, as well as manage the list.
  • Fixed - Now you can Switch ID or use Full Admin Access after trying to open a database without the proper access rights; single-database products (like scanEZ) will re-open the database, server products (like aclEZ) will keep the database in the tree to re-open. (Previously, opening a database without access rights would leave the user with a blank/ empty tool.)
  • New - Document Analyzer: Changed the scan method to properly handle 32K limit issues; now uses the Search by Note Class method.
  • Fixed - Number editing correctly handles the special Number format set in Windows.
  • Fixed regression - Was not able to edit a value if something other than a '.' (period) was used as a decimal separator.
  • Fixed - Notes.ini editor: Edits were not being logged correctly in the Modification Log Database.
  • Fixed - Conflict Solver, Replication Auditor and Document Comparator: Fixed the 'Open in Notes' header of the comparator interface; the empty/ untitled areas were still active "buttons", so it would open in a blank session.
  • Fixed - Search&Replace was not able to look in Author type items. The 'Add to My Selection' option was creating entries with errors in the selection tree.
  • Fixed - Design Collection is now used when set to get list view/folder Columns. Previously was using the Full Search by default; extremely time consuming.
  • Fixed - Replace Date/Time: The result was appending the new date/time instead of replacing the selected value.
  • Fixed - ACL editor- Check Member Presence: When changing the current database to a new server, the Check Member Presence option was not switching to use the corresponding new server NAB. (This was despite checking 'Select NAB for Group Member…/ Use all NABs on Local'.)
  • Fixed - ACL editor: When modifying the Access property in the grid, the associated default attributes were not updated accordingly.
  • Fixed - ACL editor - Export ACL Flags and Roles: Was not using the selection correctly and was omitting some information.
  • Fixed - ACL editor: Adding a new server in an ACL was incorrectly displaying an Administration Server icon next to it.
  • New - Vastly improved version of the Modification Log template.

New in viewEZ 12.0.6 (Jul 13, 2015)

  • Fixed bug: Show proper Notes version for ODS 52.
  • Fixed bug: Export in Excel from grid with grouping.
  • Fixed issues on ACL Flags and Roles export.
  • Fixed bug: Handling numbers with decimals.
  • New: "Append" and "Add Non-Contiguous" options in export (also available through Automation).

New in viewEZ 12.0.5 (Jul 13, 2015)

  • Improved: 'Select a server' dialog.
  • New: 'Recent Server or DB' list is now case insensitive.
  • Fixed 'Create Folder' issue when adding a document to newly created folder.
  • Fix: When using a coma instead of a dot as decimal separator (ex. 1,000,000) certain functions (diff/value create/modify using a formula) would lose their decimals, and thereby change the values.
  • New: Diff/Panel Rename/Copy - added a checkbox to allow the use of space characters within fields name. If UNchecked, then all field names will be have 'space characters' trimmed.
  • Fix: Conflict Solver - If user opens an individual conflict, then Conflict Solver module now correctly recognizes and displays the single conflict; even if previously loaded and nothing was originally found. Previously, a single conflict could be loaded manually, but the Conflict Solver module would not recognize any conflicts existed in the database.
  • Fix: Search & Replace now correctly handles fields with the same name.
  • Fixed format issue - Windows settings are used by 'Used Space' (Properties page) all the time which prevents Number formatting discrepancies.
  • Fixed an instability when opening and closing multiple Auditors at the same time.
  • Fix: Document Analyzer - Document Encryption counts were incorrect and inconsistent.
