Important 1.1.1 Issues:

The following controls were removed from Impacta; FarPoint’s TabPro control, Larcom and Young’s ReSize control, and DBI Tech’s ctSize control.

        These controls are no longer used by Impacta, thus eliminating the possibility of having an older version of the control on your system replaced with a newer version.

Path Size was increased to 255 characters:

        There was a limitation of 80 characters for a complete path including module names and control names.

Ability to Create and Save Gather Control Files:

You only need to enter a path(s) for a particular Gather one time by "adding" a path(s) to Gather to a list, Saving the list as a "Gather Control File", then giving it a name, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.  See Saving a Gather Control File in the Impacta Help for more information.

View the Statistics and Messages of a Gather:

Select any path after a gather and select Statistics from the right-mouse drop down or Edit menu, or press F9 to view its overall statistics, such as how long the gather took, how many files were found/loaded, error messages received, etc.  See Gatherer Statistics in the Impacta Help for more information.

Extensive Error Messaging:

Any folder that encountered any errors during the Gather will display a *YES in the Warnings column, and the number of errors will display in red next to the Machine name.  Double-click on the Machine name to display a list of error messages.  To view each error in more detail, select Messages from the right-mouse drop down menu or Edit menu, or press F10.  See Gatherer Messages in the Impacta Help for more information.

2.    New tutorials/revised tutorials. 

New tutorials have been added, and existing tutorials have been revised.  They are all completely interactive and require input from the user to continue.  This is useful so you don’t need to worry about keeping up with the tutorial, or getting interrupted, etc. 

The tutorials are constantly being revised as Impacta changes, so please check ASNA's web site for new tutorials and updates at: http://support.asna.com/kb/documentation/help_files/Impacta/Impacta_tutorials.htm.
