I posted some updates to TOP-Northeast & TOP-NewEngland Note - these changes will be posted onto the new T.O.P. server for
KB-Southwest (coming soon!)
#1 - TOP-New England now has a [Check Notes] button on the report tab. Northeast has been testing this feature. This is used to find sets & subsets (e.g. 01.00 & 01.01) with different
HdweSet Notes. Resolving these issues will prevent, the Detailing Error about
"...HardwareSetsDescription" This usually happens when Un-Detailing after complex Notes have been
established.
#2 - The Detaling Procedure has been improved to send back useful info,
in the event of the Detail Error about "...SetsCodesQty". This is usually caused by duplicate items listed within the same HdweSet. If you really need this...just change the Qty. The error will now provide the HdweSetID & ShortCodes that has a
duplicate ProductName. You can then either delete that line...of use Maintain Products to tweak
the ProductName For example you might have (2) lines of the same mortise cylinder called
20-001. Change the [ProductName] field for one to "20-001 Device-Trim" and the
other to "20-001 Removable Mullion" The ProductName is the key field...and must be unique for each hardware
item within a set.
#3 - TOP-Northeast now has "version 2" of the Hardware Configurator
software. New England has been testing this feature. It should be faster, more stable, and provides automated email feedback
error reports. We also discovered and fixed a bug today regarding a special inch-symbol
we use on some products. The special ” character was getting saved as †in the XMLEdit field.
This did not impact the ProductName. But, it did create a problem if you went to edit those products (e.g.
McKinney hinges) In any event...the issue has been resolved.
#4 - I've taken some more of the "sharp knives" out of the drawer. The Copy Job routine will now warn you if the Destination JobID you've
provided already exists. The default action (Yes) button...will cancel the Copy routine (fail safe).
