Does this sound familiar...
 
Production Lab
 
"Why can't I have the newest sample automatically selected for me?"

 

 

Research Lab

 
"Why can't I keep the same sample highlighted until I'm finished with it?"

Now you can with Testream/CS v6.6.2  !

If you work in a Production Lab and want your IA to always select the newest sample sent to the lab, simply go to your Configuration Maintenance Utility program and edit the Lab Server section.  On this screen you may set the option for 'Auto Select Newly Entered Sample in IA:' to TRUE!  Now, whenever a new sample gets sent to the lab, it will automatically be highlighted!

If you work in a Research Lab, you may want the sample selection to remain on the sample you choose until you select another sample - no problem!  Just set this option to FALSE and the highlighted sample will remain the sample you chose until you select another sample.

These are just some of the new features available in the enhanced Interface Application (IA) and Configuration Maintenance Utility Programs (CMU) being released as Testream/CS v6.6.2.  In addition to the highlighting option, v6.6.2 enables your IAs in 'spreadsheet' view to sort samples differently based on the Sample ID set.  For example, your main lab wants to see samples sorted by their IDs, but the environmental lab wants to see them by time.  Since each lab has it's own Sample ID Set, they simply click on the column they want their samples sorted by and the IA will remember the sort order they have chosen!

When you click on the IA's 'Add Sample' command and the sample ID fields appear in the pop up window, what values do you want to see in those fields? ....the values for the most recently entered sample, or the sample that is currently highlighted? Now you decide!

We've been told that these enhancements will really make life easier for IA users, and we're so pleased to be able to deliver them to you!

If you are interested in receiving the enhanced v6.6.2 IA and CMU programs, contact us at the AcquiData Help Desk at (516) 408-3585 ext. 101. 

Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to always respond in a timely manner to your needs!

Did you know?

  • In Testream/CS' Project Entry & Management program the Lab Manager is automatically notified by email when a project is 'complete'....Cooool!

     

  • You can sort your samples in the 'spreadsheet' view of your IAs. Select a column heading; click once to sort by that ID in ascending order or click again to sort in descending order.  Haven't tried using the IA's 'spreadsheet' view yet?  Go to the Configuration Maintenance Utility program. Select the IAs section under Lab Server.  Select the IA that you want to view in 'spreadsheet view' and right click on it to Edit. In the Sample IDs Screen section, set the mode for  'View samples in spreadsheet:" to TRUE. The next time you use that IA, the samples will be set up in spreadsheet view.  Each IA may be viewed differently depending on your preferences. Don't forget to execute your changes!

    AcquiData, Inc.'s new location in Garden City, New York.

    Check out our new digs!

    Located in Suite 445 of the 400 Building, AcquiData, Inc. recently marked it's one year anniversary in it's Garden City, New York location.  Garden City is a lovely town nestled in the middle of Western Long Island.  A short train ride from Manhattan, you can still get all the benefits of the big city with a little town feel.

    Many of the attendees to our Testream/CS training classes held in our New York office have commented about the area.  Surrounded by lots of shopping and great restaurants, the 400 Building is set in the heart of Garden City. 

    While attending training classes, spend your evenings hitting some golf balls at Eisenhower Park located just East of the office.  Don't like golf, no problem!  Our office sits directly behind one of the largest shopping malls in the country - Roosevelt Field! 

    We try to keep the class sizes small so that each participant can get the most out of their time in class.  We like to cover as many topics as possible while customers are in Testream/CS training.  If you are having technical issues back in your office, our Field Engineers visit while the classes are running to help answer specialized questions. 

    If you are considering attending a Testream/CS training class, plan on spending some time enjoying all that Long Island has to offer.  Close to water, shopping and great food - we know you will find something to fill your time when you are not learning all about Testream/CS!
