The following explains the changes to various Epicor Eagle™ for Windows applications on level 23.2870 (Eagle for Windows release 9). For additional information about a particular enhancement listed below, click on the blue underlined text associated with it. To return to this page, click the Back button.
You can easily create desktop shortcuts for any Eagle for Windows application. You access this new feature from the Eagle Browser by clicking Utilities and then "Create Desktop Shortcut". Just click on the desired application and a desktop shortcut will be created.
Software data compression is now available for remote store locations that run Eagle for Windows (E4W) applications. Activating software data compression on a remote PC will immediately improve the performance of the Eagle for Windows applications. Note: performance improvement will vary depending on the speed of the PC, the communication link, and the total number of devices that are used at the remote location. Software data compression should not be activated on any Eagle for Windows PCs that are running locally.
If you want to change the settings of a report in an end-of-day queue, you no longer have to delete it and re-add it. In the End-of-Day Queue Maintenance window, you can now view and change the settings of any Eagle for Windows report (RSM, ROO, RLA, RBL, RPA, ROP, RSO, RPO, RRP, RPP, RDE, RCL, RFI, RVE, RPI, and RPH). Simply click on the report, click the Drill button, and make the necessary changes.
Special Security, which requires a user to sign on, is now available in Eagle for Windows. If the Special Security flag in Function MTR is set to P or S, the Eagle Browser Signon displays when you start up the first Eagle for Windows application. If the flag is set to O, the Signon doesn't automatically display, so if the user needs more access than that of the Default user in MTR, the user must go to the Browser and sign on. Regardless of whether Special Security is set to P, S, or O, the Browser minimizes when the user signs on. Although the user can close the Browser, it will come up again if another application is started.
You can now enter a fineline From/To range on the following Eagle for Windows reports: Product Analysis Report (RPA), Order Point Report (ROP), and Suggested Order Report (RSO).
(Windows Labels users only)
Windows Labels have been enhanced to include new Location Codes 2 and 3 in the fields that are available to include on a label.
You can now choose rounded or straight corners for your Windows Labels.
When creating large labels or signs, if the label you're creating is greater than the window size, vertical and horizontal scroll bars now appear automatically.
For more precise sizing of Windows Labels, you can now enter up to 3 decimal places when defining your page setup.
Labels now print across the page rather than up and down.
You can now retain grid features (sort, subtotal, apply filters, and insert columns) in any viewer. This means you no longer have to re-apply grid features when you click Refresh to display a new set of records in the grid.
You can set "Alerts" in any viewer, which allows you to highlight cells in the grid in a selected color based on certain criteria. For example, in the Inventory Viewer you might want to highlight the Quantity-on-Hand (QOH) column in yellow whenever the QOH is less than the order point, and highlight the QOH column in red whenever it is equal to or less than zero.
