Changes and Bug Fixes in Release 1.6:
- Multi-Line Column Headers in FLIS Parts Tab: To allow more columns to be visible in the “Part List” display, the “RN” codes were abbreviated to “FC”, “CC”, “AAC”, etc. That caused some confusion to new users. We’ve added a second line to the “Part Information” headers. The change allows a fuller description while preserving horizontal space.
- JavaScript Optimization: Most of the JavaScript within the application has been optimized. The optimization should improve user interface performance on slower PCs.
- "Eliminate Download Duplicates" has been hidden when selecting a Report in Batch. (The option doesn’t apply to reports and should not have been displayed.)
- Fixed a bug which prevented the user from seeing more than 50 jobs on the “Batch Status” tab.
- Eliminated Synchronous Post Transactions: “Download” and “Print” transactions simply waited while the requested data was generated on the server. This caused a problem with some proxy servers. They would time-out the transaction and retry the request. The continuous retries prevented the transaction from ever completing.
- Added unique identifiers to all batch transactions.
- "System Alert Dialogs" were replaced with a custom dialog which does not block other events. The dialogs were causing random communications errors.
- Batch users now have access to all indexes. Previously some branch specific indexes in FLIS were not displayed.

- Grid cells now have hover text when the data exceeds the visible column width.
- Batch Status Transactions are now only sent when there is a running batch job.

- Fixed: Resizing problems with the FLIS Freight and Item tabs.
- Fixed: A bug which could leave the submit button disabled in TC lookups.
- Fixed: The index name for LOCATION in WPS (previously SERVICE).
- Fixed: The column name for LOCATION in WPS (previously SITE or SERVICE).
- Fixed or Updated: The following download definitions: CHAIN, LIRSH, FLIS, D043, H6, D200F and Procurement.
- Fixed: The LIRSH report definition.
- Fixed: A bug which could result in data not being displayed in a record detail form.
- Added: New page-break on record change option for printed reports.
- Changed: LogiQuest once again starts up with “Data Views” open. New support was added to automatically collapse “Data Views” when a “Scan & Filter” dialog opens.
- Grid Copy/Paste Improvements:
- Highlighting a single cell allows copying just that information.
- Highlighting multiple cells on a single row allows copying just the cells highlighted.
- Clicking on a column header while holding the control-key selects an entire column. The copy operation will unselect the column. A column is also unselected by either selecting another column, or by simply clicking on the column header of a selected column.
- The search key grid in the batch display supports pasting a single column of data at a time. The user can start on any cell in any visible column. This means the user can type in several terms then paste in more. (Columns copied from other grids.)
- In each case above the user can use CTRL-V, the menu or the toolbar to do the copying.
- Copy Items needing additional work: Highlighting multiple rows in a grid will result in the contents of hidden columns being copied.

Changes and Bug Fixes in Release 1.41:
- Bug Fixes:
- Occasionally incoming and outgoing messages collide within Internet Explorer. These collisions can cause sessions to hang or restart messages to appear. Retries have been added to this release to avoid the problem.
- Upon first use of the product (or clearing of the IE cache), on a fast machine, the product startup occasionally failed. The problem has been fixed.

- The User Manual has been updated.
- Several databases have been updated.
Changes and Bug Fixes in Release 1.40:
- The “Classic Plus” display has been rearranged. We’ve given the key list a lot more space on the display. This allows for three improvements:
- Better key descriptions.
- Hierarchical Key Lists: Many new keys have been added to the FLIS database. These are now broken out by service.
- Better breakout of cross-database search keys (like Procurement).
- The button layout is a little less convenient, however if you stick to double-clicking keys you would like to add, and hitting enter to search, the buttons are not usually needed.
- Support has been added for load-balancing. This includes support for proxy servers.
- A “Part Order” display has been added to the FLIS data view. Just click on “Set Part Order” on the Toolbar.
- Added support for Data Compression. Large HTML, JavaScript, and XML transfers are now compressed. This greatly reduces the amount of data transferred and should give people on slower lines a significant performance boost.
- Procurement Displays: We have completely reworked the display of procurement information. Prior versions took the “lowest common denominator” approach. In other words, only the data items that were common across many sources were displayed. The new layout shows almost all of the data we receive from each source. This is a work in progress; we still have work to do in the area of proper price interpretation from some of the data sources.
- A keyword index has been added to the procurement data view.
- “Data Views” now comes up closed. This is to allow addition space for recent searches and expanded filtering support.
