File - Print Reports ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that clicking in navigation bar would change the current editor while selecting treatments, headers, or data columns. - Fixed problem that report option to print validation list comment 2 did not work. - Fixed formatting problems when printing site description report with bold prompts under some non-English Windows versions. - Changed 'Global Settings' button on Print Reports dialog to 'Global Report Settings', and 'Global Settings' dialog title to 'Global Report Settings. - Fixed problem that Preview tab was not active on Print Reports dialog. Pre-mix ingredient changes: - Added ingredient density adjustment when convert ingredient concentrations from % to g AI, since density can exert a large influence. - Changed method used to calculate desired pre-mix rate from a revised ingredient rate so the calculation is more flexible, and will use spray volume information in current treatment or in site description. - Changed to format a pre-mix rate calculated from an ingredient rate using same rounding rules as for other calculated rate values. Changed to identify whether a customized 'other' report .RPT is for protocols or trials: - Determine from any .REPORT imbedded in the .RPT. - If '.IsProtocolRPT' is imbedded in .RPT as comment, then force as protocol report. - If neither of above applies, then assume is trial report. File Print Reports - AOV Means Table Report ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that wrong values were printed on report for non-analyzable data columns (ARM Action Code=NM or NT) of trials with subsamples. - Fixed problem that column numbers were not in the correct columns when printing an AOV Means Table report with no Mean separation test and with Min, Max, and/or Standard deviation printed beside the mean. - Improved internal precision of AOV to help avoid occasional issues such as small negative sums of squares. - Fixed problem that when a user-defined non-significant mean comparison ID such as '-' was specified, ARM identified every treatment as the same with 'a' when: 1. Error mean square = 0, indicating that all treatment differences are significant. 2. All treatment means are the same. ARM now prints the user-specified identifier instead of 'a'. File - Reports - Dose Response ------------------------------------- Added option to display X axis as log scale for dose-response graph. File Print Report - Other Reports ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that too many report lines were included in page header. For example, site description fields were included in page header on some reports. - Fixed problem that horizontal lines (.LN) were not drawn in the correct place. They were drawn with next paragraph instead of with the specified paragraph. - Fixed problem that Title was not centering on Other reports. - Added support for an INTLDEC keyword that can be used to format decimal numbers according to the user's international setting. - Enhanced ARM to print rich text on custom reports. File - Print Reports - Protocol Product Amount Totals Report ------------------------------------- Changed to support 'Group by' for standard Protocol Product Amount totals report (previously was only supported for customized protocol product amount totals report). File - Print Reports - Product Amount Totals ------------------------------------- - Fixed issue that sometimes product amount totals calculations did not use spray volume or mix size entered in site/protocol description for customizations where product calculations are forced to use these values. - Changed message above product amount totals table to 'Product quantities required for listed treatments and applications' (removed 'in one trial'), so message is more appropriate for protocols with planned trials > 1. Print Reports - Protocol/Site Description ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if a rich text entry field had document targets, the rich text would not print. File - Print Reports - Schedule ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that could not set 'For' interval on Schedule report options. File - Print Report - Spray/Seeding Plan Report ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that product amount calculation for seed treatment rate units was too small (by factor of 100) for slurry rate units 'g/kg seed' or 'mL/kg seed'. - Added new 'Automatic' choice for customization option that removes spray volume and mix size from Spray/Seeding Plan Report header and forces spray volume and mix size columns onto report. 'Automatic' option only forces these report changes to occur when there are actual differences in spray volume or mix size within the report. Thus with 'Automatic', user can choose to not print these treatment fields in Fields to Print, so spray volume and mix size print only on the page header. - Changed so when product calculation for a 'per area' rate unit is based on treated area rather than mix size, mix size prints as '-' on Spray/Seeding Plan report only for formulations (such as granules) that are always applied undiluted. - Changed so when spray volume or mix size value is edited in site/protocol description and the changed value is automatically copied to treatments using a customization option, then ensure that a blank unit in treatments is also filled. - Fixed issues with customization option for hiding Spray Volume and Mix Size fields on page heading: 1. When set to 'Auto' and only spray volumes or mix sizes differ in a trial, sometimes a separate column was not added to show the different spray volumes or mix sizes per treatment line. Also: 2. When set to 'True', the Spray Volume and Mix Size fields were only automatically added when the option to Sort by Application was active. 3. Removed 2 leading pad blanks from 'plot' experimental unit numbers when printed in columns, to reduce report width. File - Print Reports - Trial Map ------------------------------------- Fixed an error 91 that could occur when printing Trial Map. Also fixed error 5 when printing Trial Map with 'Show True Scale' selected when trial map was so wide it was not possible to fit even one map segment on report page. Print To Excel ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when printing to German Excel with all formatting, some of decimal values displayed in a date format. Print to Word ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that if File name was blank, printing to Word Processor would give an insufficient memory message from the Word Processor. - Fixed problem when wide tables wrapped, such as Plot Map or Site Description Application, that the second table repeated columns already printed in the previous table. Edit - Copy/Paste ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that when copying marked text in a long text field, the entire field would copy instead of just marked text. - Fixed problem that if part of a row is copied from a grid and the first column is hidden, when data was pasted into a new row the copied hidden column was pasted into first visible column. Edit - Paste ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that an image pasted into a site description rich text field was not added to Attachments list. - Fixed problem when pasting into Assessment Data header and current field was not an editable field, that no no information was pasted. - Fixed problem that if attachments names are forced to include the 6 character 'GDM ID' prefix, then duplicate image files were created when pasting an image into a rich text field. - Added prompt when pasting multiple Assessment Data header fields to the 'wrong' destination field. This prompt only displays when pasting to a group of fields that do not include any of the source fields (e.g. Collection Basis copied to Reporting Basis). There is no prompt when current destination field is included within the source block. Edit - Insert - Replicate ------------------------------------- Enhanced so when Fill Blocks option is active (Layout tab of Settings window), an inserted replicate fills any remaining space in the last block before starting a new block. Edit - Find/Replace ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Find/Replace was not working for Site Description. Edit - Validation List ------------------------------------- Changed to use entry field prompts from current study as column headings in validation list editor, rather than Field 1, Field 2, etc. Tools - Yield Conversion ------------------------------------- Fixed problem where yield conversion dialog always displayed Harvested Plot Width and Length using a period as the decimal separator. Tools - Data Collector ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ARM could not communicate with some DOS DatCol data collectors. Tool - Options - Reset ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if user clicked Reset on Tools - Options dialog then clicked OK, current language changed but was not actually applied, so user was not asked whether to change study definition path for the new language. Tools - Options - Treatment View ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if language was not US English, Treatment View options would display as a blank form. Tools - Refresh Editor from List ------------------------------------- - Added support for study editor customization keywords to refresh mix size unit and/or spray volume unit in treatments and site/protocol description in current language. Use for customizations where translated mix size or spray volume unit from Settings are directly used in treatment or site description entry fields. - Added support for *.ede export customization keywords to standardize mix size unit and/or spray volume to English. - Added data column number to progress message displayed when refreshing fields in Assessment Data header, since refreshing may be rather slow for studies with many data columns. Tools - Validate Entry ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that an error could occur when clicking in top row past the last column in a validation list. - Fixed problem that "Error 13 in 0 Conversion from string '0' to type 'Short' not valid" message would occur on some computers when loading a validation list. - Added customization option to sort descending for internal validation lists, to show most recent entry on top of list. - Fixed problem where clicking the filter drop down box in a personal list for a column that contains blank entries caused an error. - Changed so an entry in % Gravel field is no longer included by default in validation that total soil component entries = 100%. - Changed to ignore a missing protocol description field for an internal list used in data header. The missing field is quite likely a site description field that is not present in the protocol description, so should be considered the same as an empty field. - Fixed problem when selecting a validation list item that contained character 179, such as a Polish text, that the validation item was truncated after the character 179. - Fixed problem that hidden treatment product unique ID field sometimes displays on a product validation list when editor option to display hidden fields in validation lists was turned off. Tools - Validate Study ------------------------------------- - Changed so an invalid Untreated/Reference entry is corrected in a treatment field that is linked to Untreated and Comparison in Treatment tab of Settings. - Added trial validation message and fix for an error that occurred in 2 client trials, where more plot experimental units were defined for the trial than assessment data entry lines, resulting in an Error 9 when saving trial or entering data for the 'extra' plots. Utilities - Update Study List ------------------------------------- Added 'Cancel' button to prompt that notifies when several studies will be added to Study list and ARM will be minimized. Utilities - Install License ------------------------------------- Added warning when attempting to install an ARM 7 license for ARM 8. Also changed to not install ST 6 licenses (named ASTnnnn) for ARM 8 since ARM 7 is minimum supported ST version. Study Editors ------------------------------------- - Added customization method to associate a media clip with an entry field. - Changed so when closing the top panel in a split window, the bottom screen becomes the top. This way a new split window is always added on the bottom, instead of sometimes on the bottom and sometimes on the top. - Changed to automatically display an internal validation list with main name that ends in '-I' (such as Pest-I.lst) when user clicks into an empty editor field that is an 'auto-display list' field type. - Added right click 'Display All Fields With Information' to study editors. - Added support for a read-only decimal field type that is a valid cursor target, so user can see any tooltips for these fields in study editors. Also changed to automatically use this field type for read-only decimal fields with tooltips when opening older study definitions. - Properties Panel enhancements for View files and hidden fields (Site/Protocol Description, Treatments and Assessment Data editors): 1. Added list of currently hidden fields, to remind user of entry fields that are currently hidden. 2. Added list of available saved View files - click on a view file to select, or click on 'Original' to revert to previous view. An applied View file is selected by default each time editor is displayed for current study. 3. Changed prompt from 'All fields with Information' to 'Hidden fields with Information' in View File on editor Property panels. 4. Changed right click menu item from 'Display All fields with Information' to 'Display Hidden Fields with Information'. 5. Changed Assessment Data properties panel from 'Assessment Data View' to 'Assessment View' to avoid text wrapping. 6. Changed so options to hide Properties panels only auto-hide (pin) the panels. Window - Assessment Data ------------------------------------- - Added prompt asking whether to turn off 'Automatically recalculate after edits' if this option slows assessment data entry by adding more than 0.5 seconds per entry. - Enhanced so view option to 'Display Treatment Information of Current Treatment' is also active when cursor is assessment description, such as when editing a randomization. Previously option was only active when editing assessment data. - Properties Panel enhancements: 1. Added AOV Means Table button to display report preview beginning at the current data column. 2. Added Box-Whisker graph button to display graph for the current data column. - Added support for a customization assessment data header field attribute for which to copy a field entry to all consecutive data columns with the same SE group number entry. - Added support for a read-only scrolling text field to use for wide fields that can be clipped on reports, and do not need to fully display by default on the editor. - Changed sorting of Assessment Timing field entries so A2 sorts before A10. - Fixed problem that right clicking on a cell in first data row did not select the cell. - Fixed problem when pasting data header fields that pasting stopped at any validation list unique ID field. - Fixed problem that when scrolling horizontally the grids would sometimes misalign, jump or get stuck. Window - Attachments ------------------------------------- - Fixed problem that first attachment description was missing when Attachment Editor was current editor after *.ede import using ARMauto.ini. - Enhanced support for 'Last changed by' field so it is automatically filled with the current user's license name when user changes an Attachment or Setting. Window - Calendar ------------------------------------- - Added option to display Master calendar at startup to show incomplete tasks (General tab of Tools - Options) that also limits number of tasks. - Fixed problem that if changing a task caused it to be removed from calendar because of a filter, the change may not have saved in the original study. - Fixed problem that if task date is changed by moving task on the Calendar, the Schedule editor did not refresh to show change on a split screen. Window - Comments ------------------------------------- Added option whether tables copied from Excel should be pasted as text table or image. Window - Protocol Description ------------------------------------- - Added automatic calculation of a total trial costs field from individual trial cost field entries in a protocol description. - View enhancements: 1. Auto-attach view when user enters a view name into Treatment, Site Description, or Assessment Data view fields in a protocol. If user changes or deletes a view name, that view is automatically deleted from attachment list. (Can turn off these automatic view attachment actions using a customization flag.) 2. Auto-save attached views to current study definition folder when creating trial or importing trial EDE when a special customization option is active. Window - Site/Protocol Description Editors ------------------------------------- - Fixed a problem that the 2nd+ grid on a site/protocol description tab was too tall. - Fixed problem that rich text formatting options on right-click menu were available for fields when all rich text formatting was disabled in a study definition. - Fixed problem that data from a validation list entered into last cell of a grid was lost when cursor advanced to the next field. - Implemented GPS Enhancements for Latitude or Longitude entry fields: 1. F9 displays GPS Helper program when both a Latitude and Longitude are entered. 2. Entries in GPS fields are formatted according to new GPS Format option (Display tab of Tools - Options). 3. Allow free form entry as Degrees Decimal Degrees, Degrees Decimal Minutes, or Degrees Minutes Seconds. A degree symbol or * identifies degrees, single quote ' for minutes, and double quote " for seconds. Alternatively, use space between degrees, minutes, and seconds entries. (Allow up to 20 characters when typing the free text GPS entry.) - Added support for an automatic fill customization action that occurs when 'trigger' field is blank. - Optimized to speed up display of Site Description tabs. - Changed so 'Keep on current tab' option is now applied after selecting information from validation list in last field on a tab. - Fixed problem that blank lines in repeating sections could cause narrow columns to be too wide. - Fixed problem that grids with hidden rows or multiple fields per row are too tall, causing fields that follow to scroll off screen when there was room for all fields to fit. - Fixed problem that if all columns of a grid were hidden, the grid background would still display. - Fixed problem that grids and grid fields that are hidden by default did not display when made visible. - Fixed problem that validation list did not display a second time if focus shifted to a hidden field after selecting Cancel when viewing list the first time. - Fixed problem that automatic change tracking did not mark changed fields in some site/protocol description grids. - Fixed problem that right-click 'Show Tooltips' did not display anything in some grids. Window - Schedule Editor ------------------------------------- - Added support for customization keyword to disable new ARM 8 schedule fields in schedule editor and *.ede to ensure user does not enter information that will be lost when customization forces studies to be saved in ARM 7 format. - Fixed problem that unhandled exception error would occur when entering application code by clicking spinner control arrow on popup interval control. Window - Settings ------------------------------------- - Enhanced so if a trial is not currently under GLP/GEP, the study owner can now change trial to GEP No Protection. - Added new spray volume units to Application tab of Settings: 1. 'mL/L', 'mL/item' (initially requested for 'mL/L pot soil', 'mL/plant'). 2. 'L/100 row-m'. - Fixed Error 0 in 0 that could occur when inserting replicates if plot number was set to Standard by block, and number of blocks exceeded number of replicates. - Fixed Error 9 that could occur when untreated plot size unit was typed instead of selected from the drop-down box. Window - Treatment Editor ------------------------------------- - Added ability to calculate AI/product per seed from an AI/product per treated area basis (reverse of calculation added in 2004) - requested to back-calculate Rate in mg/seed from Other Rate in mg/ha. - Added feature to adjust Treatment application codes as needed when inserting or deleting a Site Description Application code. - Fixed problem that when change tracking was active, a pasted treatment product was not marked with change color for study definition that uses a linked validation list unique ID field. Also Treatment Type field was not marked as changed when the entry was automatically inserted. - Fixed problem that hidden fields were visible after selecting 'Auto-Size Column Width' from right-click menu. - Fixed problem that sometimes an error would occur or grids would not refresh after scrolling vertically. - Fixed problem that treatment ingredients grid would be hidden when a validation list displayed if treatment properties were set to auto-hide. - Fixed problem that occurred when viewing a product master list for an existing treatment entry while ingredient grid is displayed, that after clicking to select a different list item, focus jumps back to the original item so a new item cannot be selected from the list. Window - Trial Map ------------------------------------- - Changed so 'Show true scale' checkbox in Trial Map options is not selected by default. - Fixed problem that list of treatments in 'Treatment Description' tab were incorrect after inserting or deleting treatments from the Treatment editor. Window - Split - Remove Split ------------------------------------- Fixed problem where removing a split window while the second panel was empty could cause an error. Graph ------------------------------------- - Enhanced to use standard error and deviation from AOV Means Table for treatment mean error bars for standard error and standard deviation. - Added option to display the graph Y axis as a log scale instead of linear. - Enhanced to display each box-whisker in a different color, similar to the bar graph. - Changed so when user edits treatment labels, ask whether to save the treatment labels as treatment description in the trial map. - Added option to mark the mean point in each box-whisker plot with a symbol. - Added support including mean comparison labels on a box-whisker graph. Study List ------------------------------------- - Changed to suppress a Windows confirmation when sending a study to recycle bin after deleting. - Optimized so any 'StudyIdFilter' customization keyword is applied to base query instead of as a post-query filter. - Added support for a customization keyword used to specify a complex study list filter. - Fixed error when restoring a filter that contains a comma such as 'Jenkins, Bill'. - Fixed error 6 that occurred when a study list contained more than 32767 studies. - Fixed problem that archiving or deleting multiple studies in Study List window could cause an error. - Fixed problem where study in first row of study list could not be renamed. Pull Trial from Excel Rating Shell ------------------------------------- Added customization keyword to set default Pull Rating Shell method: TRUE for 'slow' (search all rows) or FALSE for 'fast' (search only first 10 rows). Push To Excel ------------------------------------- Fixed an error communicating with Excel due to Error 1994 when Push to Excel multiple times. Study Rules ------------------------------------- Enhanced so protocol writer can identify trial site description and header fields that must contain information when trial reaches a specified trial status. Events ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that F9 does not display the calendar in date fields of Event editor. General ------------------------------------- - Added Options.log that tracks each time ARM reads or writes ARM options file for each customization profile folder. - Changed description text on 'Reason for Study Change' dialog from GLP/GFP to GLP/GEP. - Fixed problem on Select Batch dialog that when file names are longer than the Available and Selected File list boxes, no horizontal scroll bars displayed. - Fixed problem that if both *.edp and *.prt8 files for one study are in the same folder, both are listed in Select Batch dialog (same for *.ede and *.dat8) - Fixed problem that sometimes focus shifts away from ARM when closing a modal dialog. The Start Wizard was one example of this. - Added warning message that when 'Show tooltips' option is checked in General options, but a registry key is disabling all tooltips. Refresh Study List ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ARM re-exported some studies every time study list was refreshed. Initialization ------------------------------------- Changed so when study list auto-refreshes at open, the Settings profile is set to 'Standard' and GDMdef study definition folder for non-corporate ARM licenses before user first opens a study. This ensures that some forced customization options are not applied to the wrong studies. Login ------------------------------------- Changed to report actual license path in license error messages (or path and name for multi-user), rather than always reporting only the Settings path. ST - Open Criteria ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that warning message 'information in an entry field is too long' displays when opening a STC with a 'long' criteria entered in Header or Site Description; message was wrong because ST criteria is not truncated. ST - Begin Summary ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that may get error 9 when viewing the Site Description or loading a *.ddv file after running an ST summary. ST - Print ST Summary ------------------------------------- Fixed an Error 5 'file name too long' error that could occur when printing ST Summary report to word processor. ST - Print To Excel ------------------------------------- Optimized to speed up printing large summary reports to Excel. ST - Window - Site Description ------------------------------------- Fixed repeating section errors: - After inserting a repeating section, then leaving the Site Description tab, then returning to the repeating section. - After deleting a repeating section then adding a repeating section, Site Description data after the repeating section could be lost or placed in the wrong entry fields. ST - Graph ------------------------------------- Fixed an error 9 that could occur when creating a ST graph. ***************************************************************** Version 8.2.0 Third Edition May 28, 2009 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Open ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ARM prompted user for 'optional field' entry when adding or updating a study in the study list (opening for the first time or closing a modified study) and the study is missing a factor description. File - Close ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that closing a study while a split window displays treatment and site description editors may cause an unhandled exception error. File - Create Trial ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if more application codes were defined in treatment editor than in the protocol description, and display was split to show Header and Protocol description, an error 91 would occur when creating a trial. File - Print Reports - Select Headers ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when Assessment data dialog displayed tabs, ARM would freeze when prompting user to select Headers to print. File - Print Reports - Summary ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Validation comments were not always printed on consecutive pages. Window - Treatment Editor ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if use up or down arrow to move to a treatment line with ingredient information, when ingredients grid is visible focus shifts from treatment editor to ingredients editor. Fixed problem that when ARM auto-inserted a blank line above factor heading in a multi-factor protocol, the current entry field was disabled until user clicked into the entry field again. Fixed problem that if the treatment field 'Cost' is hidden, when a new protocol is created the 'Cost' field was visible again. Removed action to split screen while editing treatment application codes when Editor option 'Insert or delete applications as application codes are added or deleted in treatments' is active. Window - Assessment Data Editor ------------------------------------- Changed so the Color description tab is the first tab on the Assessment Map dialog. Fixed problem that Cut, Copy and Paste toolbar icons are sometimes disabled in Assessment editor when they should be enabled. Fixed a fatal error when scrolling in Assessment editor in Vista. Fixed problem that if copied an entire assessment column and paste in assessment data, the header data would not paste. Fixed problem that if click the first row of an assessment grid to mark a column but the cursor was previously in the other assessment grid, the column would be marked, but the cell in the other grid would be copied. Window - Trial Map ------------------------------------- Fixed issue that replicate colors on trial map are not assigned correctly when plot numbers are not ordered within each replicate (for example, plot 101=rep 1, 102=rep 2, 103=rep 1, 104=rep 2, etc.) Fixed error 57 when performing randomization related changes on the Trial Map (change Settings, or select Re-randomize button). Window - Site Description ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that can enter or print Polish characters only in long text fields, not in standard Site Description text fields. General ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that the pop-up message dialog was not always unloaded from memory, which could result in ARM using more memory or slowing down during a long ARM session. Fixed problem that when logging in, if an incorrect password was entered and then the correct password was entered, ARM would load/save options to ARMnnnn.opt (nnnn=serial number) instead of ARM.opt. Option settings would thus appear to be changed. GDM Study Definitions ------------------------------------- Modified SART formulation type entries in GDMCodes.mdb by marking 33 codes as inactive per May 2008 Technical Monograph. Added LN (Long-lasting insecticidal net, Dry-Undiluted) to SART formulation type. Updated unit conversion table to recognize the following units as equivalent: ZMA=FLOZ/A (from FieldPro) OMA=OZ WT/A (from FieldPro) MLPR/SEED,ML PR/SEED,148822=ML/SEED Updated GDMdef Enhanced Rating Shell with new ARM 8 GDMdef fields: - Assessment data header fields for crop and pest stage minimum and maximum, also untreated rating type. - Application equipment. ***************************************************************** Version 8.2.0 Second Edition April 9, 2009 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Import - EDE ------------------------------------- Enhancements for importing FieldPro EDE: - Always read EDE using FieldP40.tbe, to avoid an 'invalid EDE format 3.0' message when importing recent FieldPro EDE files. - Use presence of EV2 record to indicate trial EDE (previously checked for EV1, which could be present in a protocol EDE). - Ignore factor ID read from single factor protocols or trials, to avoid warning message that Level No. is missing after import. - Fixed problem that forced field remappings of trial initiation comments to objectives and summary comments to protocol general comments was not working correctly. - Added DROZ/A as synonym for OZ A/A, OMA as synonym for OZ WT/A, and ZMA as synonym for FL OZ/A. File - Print Reports ------------------------------------ Fixed problem when batch printing reports to separate disk files, ARM added an extra page to each report file, except the last file. Fixed error 91 that could occur on the Print Dialog when Report is selected as part of the disk file name format. Fixed error printing report that could occur after loading an old report set (pre 7.5.1 or pre-8.1.6) or a corrupted report set (8.1.6). File - Print Reports - Dose Response Analysis ------------------------------------- Fixed problem printing Dose Response Analysis report that the first treatment was sometimes not included, even when it contained a valid rate. Fixed problem that the first Dose Response graph created in an ARM session printed on all subsequent Dose Response Reports during that ARM session. File - Print Reports - Product Amount Totals ------------------------------------- Fixed error 9 when batch printing a composite report, such as Product Amount Totals or Schedule. File - Print Reports - Tour Report ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that text on Tour Report was all in underlines when borders were off. File - Print Reports - Trial Comments ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Trial Comments 'Keep with Previous' option did not work. Window - ST Criteria Editor ------------------------------------- Changed to not perform any automatic field fill actions in ST. Window - Assessment Data Editor ------------------------------------- Fixed crash when displaying the Assessment Map dialog when trt numbers are option set to display trt numbers not plot numbers. ***************************************************************** Version 8.2.0 March 29, 2009 Changes ***************************************************************** Edit - Copy ------------------------------------- Enhanced to allow copying one field from the site description for a multi-field validation list field if the validation list is a user picklist. Fixed problem that when trying to copy a block of fields within a multi-field validation block in the site description, only the first field would be copied. Edit - Paste ------------------------------------- Changed to prompt user when pasting multiple fields to destination fields that are different than the source fields (e.g. Study Director information copied to Cooperator). Prompt only occurs when pasting to a group of fields that do not include any of the source fields. Edit - User List ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that get an unhandled exception when deleting a name from the user list. Edit - Validation List ------------------------------------- Changed to scroll the screen when marking a block and come to the edge of the grid. Fixed problem that when copying entire columns in validation list editor, only the current row would be added to the clipboard. Add counter column to left of list so clicking it will select an entire row. Also, if click top left corner, select the entire validation list. File - Create Trial ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that the Select Protocol Wizard did not recognize an ARM 8 protocol saved with .prt8 extension. File - Export - EDE ------------------------------------- Changed to avoid exporting blank subsample lines to EDE - apply same rules as when saving ARM 6 version 3 or newer DAT if EDE option is set to not export blank assessment data. File - Import - EDE ------------------------------------- Changed so when importing EDE/EDP for batch print: - Do not force trial to save, which avoids validation from saving the study - Refresh treatments only once (previously refresh occurred twice). Fixed problem that the 'Under GEP' setting was lost when importing a multi-factor protocol EDP. File - Open ------------------------------------- Allow ARM to open hidden study files. File - Open - Study from List ------------------------------------- Fixed issues updating study list: - Last Changed Date was never filled for ARM 6 or older studies. When auto-refresh study list option is active the study list was always 'outdated' for these studies, so ARM tried updating study list for these studies. - Added file extension to study files identified on study list message log, so user can identify protocol vs. trial on study list update messages. Changed to log initialization query messages when refreshing study list, to avoid user prompts each time the settings profile change.(Otherwise user could be prompted several times during each refresh.) Fixed problem that could cause ARM to freeze when exporting an bad longitude entry such as 'E 02 11 86' to study list. This issue could only occur with customized study definitions used by one global corporate client. File - Open - Trial ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that an error 6 could occur when opening ARM 7 trials with a large audit trail. File - Print Reports ------------------------------------- Added a new checkbox option to the Print dialog to save each batch study in separate file. Fixed a pagination problem that could occur in a report with horizontal page breaks. Treatment column widths were not always consistent across multiple pages, causing assessment columns to print on different pages (horizontally). Fixed problem that AOV Means Table options were not stored or read correctly in saved report sets from version 8.1.6. Any report set options that followed AOV Means Table may not be saved or read correctly. Enhanced to allow user to reorder reports listed in a report set: - Use Shift+Up to move a report up in the list. - Use Shift+Down to move a report down in the list. File - Print Reports - AOV Means Table ------------------------------------- Added support for new ARM Action Code APOTM to calculate and print percent of trial mean on AOV Means Table report (Trial Mean=100%). File - Print Reports - Print to Excel ------------------------------------- Enable 'Transpose' option for ARM reports printed to Excel. File - Print Reports - Print To Word ------------------------------------- Fixed a problem printing to Word when fonts changed within a report, that ARM did not always reset the font attributes correctly, causing some prompts to not appear in bold when the bold prompts option was selected. File - Print Reports - Protocol Spray/Seeding Plan ------------------------------------- Fixed problem when printing a Protocol Spray/Seeding plan for a Factorial protocol and the option to print selected treatment is set, an error occurs when treatments should be selected. File - Save ------------------------------------- Changed to remove any hyperlinks or images in RTF text when saving in ARM 7 format. Prompt before removing images, then replace them with the image file path in '<>'. Replace hyperlinks with the link text in '<>'. Graph ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that decimal values were not graphed properly; for example 2.1 and 2.4 displayed as 2 on the graph. Help - Tutorial ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ARM Tutorial would run when select ST Tutorial while in ARM. Options - File ------------------------------------- Changed to standardize the case of study definition paths displayed on File tab of Tools - Options, such as displaying ARMdef instead of ARMDEF. Added more study definition checks during ARM startup to: - Delete any duplicate definition paths. - Delete any definition root path without a subfolder name (e.g. 'C:\ARMdef\'), since the main root path folder should never contain definitions. - Group together all GDMdef paths at top of list for non-corporate clients, then sort remaining client paths alphabetically afterward. ST - Tools - Begin Summary ------------------------------------- Changed so when displaying study list from Begin Summary dialog, any missing trials specified in the current *.stc are no longer reported as missing from the ARM Work folder. (Can occur when trials are moved to different folder after *.stc is created.) Fixed problem that if a summary is run that does not have Treatment criteria entered an error 91 occurs. Fixed problem that Site Description Criteria was always included in summary, even when excluded on the Begin Summary dialog. Fixed an error during a ST summary when there was Site Description criteria and trials that contained site description fields longer than 32767 characters. ST - Window - Treatment Editor ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when in ST and the auto-insert application codes in site description is checked, ST would insert application codes in the ST Site Description. Tools - Data Collector - Push Trial to Excel Rating Shell ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if the last data collector device was the previously selected device, and it was removed from the list of available data collectors, an error would occur when trying to push data to an Excel Rating shell. Tools - Merge - From ARM Study ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that could not merge protocol description or data header information from ARM 8, 7, or 6 protocol. Changed to correctly merge information when merged study uses a different definition than study in memory. Fixed problem that logic to find study sections during merge or when recovering from study file errors did not work reliably under all Windows languages. Tools - Options - Site Description View ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Site Description View files were not loading correctly. Tools - Transform ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that the '&' prefix (to summarize 1 value per plot for subsamples) is dropped from transformation formula ID in ARM Action Codes when insert or delete data columns - this would change calculation for &TA[n], &TL[n], &TS[n] formulas. Tools - Validate Entry ------------------------------------- Allow the Validation to size itself to the top of the screen instead of just to the menu bar. Fixed problem that if double click a column heading to resize it, ARM would select an entry instead of resizing the column. Fixed problem that after resizing column on a master list, the filter combo boxes did not resize. Added Copy and About buttons to the validation list dialog. Fixed problem when displaying validation list that pressing Enter would sometimes move current treatment field instead of selecting an item from the validation list. Fixed problem that sometimes user changes to validation list column widths were not saved. Changed so hidden 'skip validation' data entry fields do not display on validation list. Fixed problem that sometimes there was empty space on right side of the validation list grid. Added customization option that forces validation list comments to lower case on validation list dialog and when printed on reports. Window - Assessment Data ------------------------------------- Added Assessment Editor Properties dialog button 'Assessment Map' to display a plot map showing assessment values for current data column. Added Next and Previous buttons to move through the assessment columns, and a Color Description tab to the Assessment Map dialog and a decode on the Assessment Map report. Additional changes for assessment data header fields that are hidden by default: - Save into assessment data views (*.pdv) the 'hidden' status of data header fields that are hidden by default. Previously the status of these fields was only saved into views when the fields were forced visible. - Fields that are hidden by default now remain hidden after reading an old saved view that does not define the visible status of these fields. - Right-click menu to 'Display All Fields' now displays data header fields that are hidden by default. - Apply an assessment data view 'Sort' for header fields that are hidden by default - the hidden field is automatically made visible when a sort is applied. Changed so closing Properties dialog on Assessment Data editor does not set the option to hide Properties dialog. Fixed problem that when scrolling to the left on the Assessment data with the horizontal scrollbar, sometimes editor could not scroll to the first column. Fixed problem that after printing Assessment Data Summary report with option set to print current view of assessment header rows, hidden data header rows would sometimes change to visible fields. Fixed problem that could scroll continuously with the horizontal scroll bar more than one screen at a time on the Assessment editor. Changed so hidden 'skip validation' or user-hidden data entry fields do not display on validation list. Use new 'Display hidden fields on validatation list dialog' Editor option (in Tools - Options) to force hidden fields to display. Window - Header ------------------------------------- Changed so hidden 'skip validation' or user-hidden data entry fields do not display on validation list. Use new 'Display hidden fields on validatation list dialog' Editor option (in Tools - Options) to force hidden fields to display. Window - Settings ------------------------------------- Enhanced to automatically adjust reference and untreated treatment numbers in Settings for all treatment number changes. (Previously they were only adjusted for Insert Treatment and Delete Treatment commands.) Window - Site Description (also Protocol Description) ------------------------------------- Changed so hidden 'skip validation' or user-hidden data entry fields do not display on validation list. Use new 'Display hidden fields on validatation list dialog' Editor option (in Tools - Options) to force hidden fields to display. Enhanced to allow copying one field from the site description for a multi-field validation list field if the validation list is a user picklist. Changed to prompt user when pasting multiple fields to destination fields that are different than the source fields (e.g. Study Director information copied to Cooperator). Prompt only occurs when pasting to a group of fields that do not include any of the source fields. Fixed problem that when trying to copy a block of fields within a multi-field validation block in the site description, only the first field would be copied. Window - Treatments ------------------------------------- Enhanced to automatically adjust reference and untreated treatment numbers in Settings for all treatment number changes. (Previously they were only adjusted for Insert Treatment and Delete Treatment commands.) Fixed Treatment editor issue that changing a rate unit such as OZ/A to OZ WT/A caused the current rate value to be copied into an empty other rate field. When displaying validation list, pressing Enter would sometimes move current treatment field instead of selecting an item from the validation list. Added support for treatment fields that are hidden by default, so seldom-used fields can be defined as hidden. This includes: - Save into treatment view (*.trv) the 'hidden' status of treatment fields that are hidden by default. - Fields that are hidden by default will remain hidden after reading an old saved view that does not define the visible status of these fields. Changed so hidden 'skip validation' or user-hidden data entry fields do not display on validation list. Use new 'Display hidden fields on validatation list dialog' Editor option (in Tools - Options) to force hidden fields to display. GDMCodes ------------------------------------- Change the crop common name for AGSST from 'Redtop grass' to 'Creeping bentgrass' in Crops and EPPO_Codes table of GDMcodes.mdb Added CRLLA, SAISU and MOADI to Crops table Added all EPPO plant codes beginning with Y in the Crops table. GDM Study Definitions ------------------------------------- Fixed 2 problems with read-only Project ID field in G-All7 protocol description: - Field only displayed first 21 characters of 25 character Project ID in header. - Field not updated when existing Project ID entry in header was changed. Increased length of Trial ID field in Header to 28. Added an automatic 'refresh' when opening an ARM 7 trial to automatically fill soil drainage description. Added new rate units: FL OZ/Ton, mL/Ton, g/10000 m2 LWA, mL/10000 m2 LWA, Traps/A Made visible these rate units that were previously hidden: Traps/100 Plants, Traps/ha ***************************************************************** Version 8.1.6 December 17, 2008 Changes ***************************************************************** Backup ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that removing the backup drive, such as a jump drive, during an ARM session caused an error when attempting to back up studies. Changed to display a message that backup features are disabled until the backup drive is available, instead of an error message. Edit - Delete ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if mark a block that includes multi-field rows then delete with Ctrl+D, only the first item in the multi-field row is deleted. Edit - Paste - Treatment Editor ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after changing protocol design from single factor to multi-factor protocol, treatments would not paste correctly under the factors. File - Close ------------------------------------- Added option to prompt user for a description of changes that were made, to use when prompted revision number field is included in a protocol study definition. File - Insert - DCF from File ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that a 'corrupted' plot data editor was displayed if insert 1 DCF (Edit - Insert - DCF from File) when a trial was not open. File - Open - Protocol ------------------------------------- Added a warning message while opening study if a header, protocol description, or site description entry is truncated because study definition field is shorter than the field entry in the current study. File - Open - Study from List ------------------------------------- If changes are made to the current study and the study list is then opened, ARM now saves the study changes and updates the study list. Changed so when a study is opened from study list using the browse button, the study list is closed and the study is displayed. Enhanced 'Refresh study list during startup' option so when file date stamp for a study is newer than listed in the study list, automatically open the study and update the study list. If the study list is open, refresh the study list view. File - Open - Trial ------------------------------------- Fixed issue that feature to move ARM 7 GDMdef site description entries from code to code description fields in ARM 8 GDMdef quit working when an updated ARM 8 site description (version 13) was released in August 2008. Added a warning message while opening study if a header, protocol description, or site description entry is truncated because study definition field is shorter than the field entry in the current study. File - Print Reports ------------------------------------- Added option to define page order like in Excel: - Down, then over - Over, then down 'Down, then over' was default order in ARM 7, and 'Over, then down' was the default order in ARM 8. Changed to use the original ARM open dialog instead of Explorer style dialog to load a report set, so report set description displays on dialog when user clicks on a report set name. Changed so file name format textbox on the Print dialog can be edited, to revise name of the first report printed to file. Fixed problem that 'Restart numbers for each study in batch' check box was enabled when Print dialog first displayed and option 'Sequential across reports' was unchecked. Fixed so 'Restart numbers...' is only enabled when 'Sequential across reports' is checked. Fixed problem that page numbering options were ignored. File - Print Reports - AOV Means Table ------------------------------------- Added support for user-defined identifier such as '-' to use instead of 'a' as mean comparison ID when Trt P(F) is not significant, and option is set to do mean comparison test only when Trt P(F) is significant. File - Print Reports - Labels ------------------------------------- Fixed issue when printing labels for trial with several applications and canopy height rate units, that amount of product on label for first treatment is reporting g/4 pl/1 m CH instead of g/mx/1 m CH. File - Print Reports - PDF ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that clicking Cancel on the Save as PDF dialog caused an error. ARM now continues without an error message when Cancel is selected on the dialog. Added option to hide the PDF Options dialog that displays by default when printing a PDF file. File - Print Reports - Preview ------------------------------ Changed to use ARM Print dialog when Print icon is selected in Report Preview. File - Print Reports - Protocol/Site Description Report ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that long text printed in narrow columns if followed by a narrow table. Also changed to prevent a page break within Site Description Report tables that wrap (such as application linked columns). Fixed a problem that the first column in Site Description Report tables was too wide when the table did not fit within margins. Enhanced so images placed in rich text fields will print on reports. File - Print Reports - Spray/Seeding Plan ------------------------------------- Changed to not calculate product amount for unrecognized: - Spray volume unit when customization option to disable spray volume on trial Settings dialog is active. - Mix size unit when customization option to disable mix size on trial Settings dialog is active. Now on spray/seeding or labels report 'Cannot calc' is printed as product amount to measure. When calculating Alternative/Other Rate, if customization option to delete other rate for bad unit' is active, an invalid Other Rate value is deleted. Added 'Appl. Code' to heading line above treatments when sorting report by application code, to add a second location on page identifying which application code is printing on the current page. Fixed problem that when 'Sort by application code' option is selected and 'Print by' is not selected, then the check for different spray volumes and mix sizes in report were not performed, so sometimes spray volume/mix size header line was displayed when it should be hidden. Fixed issue that application volume and mix size information entered in site or protocol description for a specific application code was not consistently used during product calculations for Spray/Seeding Plan or Product Amount Totals reports. Sometimes only entries in treatments were used. Changed to ensure that correct mix size is used for current treatment line when identifying if product amount to measure exceeds the mix size (marked by '*' on Spray/Seeding plan report). Previously only the mix size in Settings was used for this check. File - Print Reports - Trial Comments ------------------------------------- Enhanced so images placed in rich text fields will print on reports. File - Save As ------------------------------------- Allow entering a period ('.') as part of the file name when saving a file type where user is not allowed to change the extension (such as .dat or .dat8). Previously ARM treated the period as a separator between file name and extension. Fixed the problem that saving some ARM 8 trials as ARM 7 trials would cause ARM to hang. File - Send To ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Send To did not work on some computers. General ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that decimal fractions specified for customization options that accept decimal values were not read correctly when comma ',' is Windows decimal separator. Help - About ARM ------------------------------------- Added 'Definitions installed to' on About ARM dialog, to identify path where ARM installs study definition updates. ST ------------------------------------- Fixed a problem that ARM ST closed with an error when starting ST directly using the 'Summary Across Trials' menu item in the ARM 8 Program group (Start - All Programs - ARM 8 - Summary Across Trials). ST - File - Open Criteria ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after saving an ARM ST 6 criteria, an error would occur when opening the saved criteria. ST - File - Print ST Summary ------------------------------------- Enhanced to print descriptive statistics LSD/HSD, STDev, and CV for grand mean columns. ST - File - Save ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after saving an ARM ST 6 criteria, an error would occur when opening the saved criteria. ST - Site Description Criteria ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Site Description criteria, including the match and separate wildcard '@', was ignored when the trial was based on a different customization or different customization version than was used for the criteria. ST - Tools - Begin Summary ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ST summary messages did not display in the ST Summary progress dialog, and sometimes the summary progress bar did not update as each trial was summarized. Optimized to speed up ST summarizing of trials that contain missing data. Added trial ID to any trial AOV warning or error messages displayed in ST Summary dialog, so user can identify the trial for which these messages apply. Also changed to shorten long trial paths displayed on ST Summary Messages dialog, using the same approach as on ARM start wizard dialog. ST - Window - Treatments ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after sorting to top for a criteria treatment, when ST asks 'Do you wish to make the current sort permanent by renumbering treatments?', choosing Yes does not renumber criteria if renumber treatments option is forced to No (Special Configuration option). Study Definitions ------------------------------------- Added SWEEP to Collection Basis master list for GDMdef Assessment Data header. Added new pest type = O for 'Other animals and nematodes' to data header and pest description of G-All7 study definition. Changed display name of 'Comment 1' and 'Comment 2' to 'Active Ingredient' and 'AI Conc.' for treatment name validation lists used with G-All7 study definition. Changed to use spray volume unit and mix size unit from Settings as default entries in Application Equipment tab of G-All7 site description when user clicks into one of these unit fields. Added 4 new Spray Volume unit codes to Other Rate in GDMdef G-All7: - g/kg grams per kilogram seed - QT/100 FT2 quarts per 100 square feet - L/m2 liters per square meter - mL/kg milliliters per kilogram seed Updated Polski study definitions field prompt and tooltip text. Tools - Data Collector - Pull Data from Excel Rating Shell ------------------------------------- Added customization to name rating shells from Other Trial ID field rather than actual trial name. This way a 'short name' can be defined that is more friendly to display on file directories of Pocket Excel on a PPC. Also enhanced to support more complex automatic default field entries that use only part of the information in an entry field. Tools - Data Collector - Push Trial to Excel Rating Shell ------------------------------------- Added customization to name rating shells from Other Trial ID field rather than actual trial name. This way a 'short name' can be defined that is more friendly to display on file directories of Pocket Excel on a PPC. Also enhanced to support more complex automatic default field entries that use only part of the information in an entry field. Added Polish translations for Excel functions SREDNIA (Average) and STABW (StdDev) to the Average function and Mean Description fucntion combo boxes on the Push Trial to Excel Rating Shell Options dialog. Tools - Validate Entry ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that validation against a master list fails for any field entry that contains an apostrophe ' (such as Cote-d'Or). Tooltips ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if user changes the 'Show ToolTips' option, the current editor was not updated to reflect the changed setting. Window - Assessment Data ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if a value was changed in an original column and an arrow key was used to move to a new cell, the value in a transformed data column was not updated. Changed 'blank column in transformation' message from Warning to Information since this is really not a problem; categorizing as a warning only confuses users. Changed so 'Unable to find transformation formula...' message is always returned as a warning. Previously it was an error in one situation and a warning in another situation. Window - Assessment Data Header ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after scrolling right in the Assessment Data header, a duplicate column could appear. Fixed problem that if mark a block that includes multi-field rows then delete with Ctrl+D, only the first item in the multi-field row is deleted. Window - Attachments ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when adding an attachment, the grid is not refreshed to display the new entry decription. Window - Settings ------------------------------------- Added spray volume units 'qt/100 ft2', 'L/m2', 'mL/kg' to Application tab of Settings. Window - Settings - Design tab ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after changing protocol from single factor to multi factor design, treatments would not paste correctly under the factors. Window - Site Description (also Protocol Description) ------------------------------------- Changed so when filling a default entry for mix size unit, the mix unit is matched with spray volume unit following the same rules as in Settings: - Liquid mix unit is used for liquid spray volume. - Seed treatment mix unit is used for a seed treatment slurry volume. - Mix unit 'grams' is always matched to Japanese 'kg/ha' appl. (spray) volume. Added customization keyword to validate that mix size units are compatible with spray volume units entered for each application in site/protocol description. Changed so mix size is forced to 'g seed' for seed treatment slurry rate unit 'g/kg'. Changed to recalculate Other Rate when spray volume or mix size changes in protocol/site description, and these fields are automatically copied to linked treatments in the current study definitions. Thus, the Other Rate for volume based rate units may need to change as well. Fixed problem that if mark a block that includes multi-field rows then delete with Ctrl+D, only the first item in the multi-field row is deleted. Added automatic conversion of GDM Spray Volume and Mix Size units in Application tab of Settings to customized units when units are copied to Application Volume or Mix Size fields in site/protocol description. Added support for keyword to suppress automatic copy of current spray volume and mix size entries in site or protocol description to Application tab of Settings that occurs when option is active to disable spray volume and mix size fields in trial settings. Window - Treatments ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if right-click into a new field and selected the menu item 'Show Validation list', the validation list displayed for the previous field and not the right-clicked field. Fixed problem that after changing protocol from single factor to multi factor design, treatments would not paste correctly under the factors. Enhanced Alternative/Other Rate calculation and refresh to adjust volume based product units for Dilution Factor entry that is 'n/1' concentration factor (such as 1.5/1 or 2/1). Changed so customization option to automatically copy mix size unit to treatments only occurs when mix size unit contains an entry. Added support for new customization keyword to automatically use a recalculated primary rate caused by changing an alternative rate value or unit, rather than prompting user. Fixed problem that Other Rate was not recalculated when: - a new application code in the study is first added to a treatment line, - option to auto-insert applications is active, and - there are DDLinks defined to auto-fill spray volume or mix size in treatments. For example, when add new appl. code B to a treatment for a study containing only appl. A, the new blank application must be inserted in the site/protocol description before ARM can determine whether to use spray volume/mix size in the site desc. or defaults in Settings to calculate Other Rate for a rate unit that is dependent on spray volume/mix size, such as mL/L. ***************************************************************** Version 8.1.5 October 29, 2008 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Open ------------------------------------- Fixed various file access errors that could occur when opening multiple studies at the same time. File - Close ------------------------------------- Fixed a database error when updating the study list and the ARM date format has no separator character. File - Print ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that the current editor display was corrupted after batch print.

ST - Tools - Begin Summary ------------------------------------- Fixed an unhandled exception error when a summary was run with the Site Description as the current editor. Window - Assessment Data ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ARM lost subsample values when inserting or deleting treatments in multi-subsample trials. ***************************************************************** Version 8.1.4 September 11, 2008 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Open Protocol File - Open Trial ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that title line 2 was lost when opening ARM 7 GDMdef study in ARM 8 GDMdef. Title line 2 is now placed in Title line 2 of ARM 8 GDMdef, and this new field that is hidden by default will automatically display. File - Open - Study from List ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that the study list filter for 'Modified in last week' did not work when short system date format is DD/MM/YY and the day is > 12 for filter date. File - Import - EDE ------------------------------------- Changed to ignore default discipline of 'Herbicide' when importing an study that was originally exported from using the ARM 7 version of G-All7.def, where discipline was always forced to 'Herbicide' in the exported EDE. File - Print Reports ------------------------------------- Enhanced Print dialog to display the appropriate 'Print to' tab when one of the 'Print to' buttons is selected (Excel, Word, Adobe PDF or File). ARM remembers the selected tab across sessions. Fixed problem that ARM printed all pages, even when a specific page or range was specified. Fixed problem that if cursor was in a read-only study editor field, the backspace key did not work on Label report options text boxes where user is prompted to add optional label information. Fixed several problems when printing to Word Processor: - Added User options to adjust cell margin and column width, while fixing a problem that tables were too wide to fit on a page. - Some horizontal page breaks (which occur when there are too many columns to fit on a page) did not generate new pages in the RTF file. - Some rich text and long text fields were not paginated correctly. The entire text would repeat on each page instead of the appropriate segment of text. - Trial Comments (or any rich text fields) containing embedded quotes could be truncated. Fixed problem that sometimes empty repeating sections printed on Site Description report when options were selected to eliminate empty fields. Fixed a problem that empty Site Description grid columns were too narrow when the option to print blanks was selected. A trailing underscore now prints in each grid cell identifying where the entry field ends. File - Print Reports - Labels ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if cursor was in a read only field in an editor, the backspace key would not work on the Label report options textboxes. Fixed issue that no seed packet labels printed for studies using a study definition with no Treatment Type field, since no treatments were identified as seed/variety treatments. Changed to instead consider all treatments as seed/variety treatments for this situation. File - Print - Print to Word Processor ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Trial Comments (or any RTF text) could truncate when the text contained embedded quotes. Fixed missing page breaks when Print to Word. Horizontal page breaks (which occur when there are too many columns to fit on a page) did not generate new pages in the RTF file. Fixed problem that tables were too wide to fit on a page when printed to RTF. Added new options 'Adjust RTF cell left/right margin by' and 'Increase RTF column width by'. Use RTF cell margin option to reduce left and right cell margin in word processor document to prevent word wrapping in table cells within a column. Use the RTF column width option to increase column width to duplicate ARM report column widths in word processor tables (which may be narrower than in ARM). Window - Site Description ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when deleting an application linked embedded repeating section, sometimes the wrong additional linked applications were deleted. Fixed problem that site description column grids would not refresh after hiding a field or displaying all fields. Fixed problem that if the last field on a site description page is a hidden field, an error could occur if ARM tried positioning cursor to that field after selecting from validation list. Fixed problem that could not right-click on user-hidden fields to select the right-click option 'Display current field'. Window - Treatments ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that if right-click marked column(s) on treatment editor before clicking into a cell, the right-click option 'Hide current field' is disabled. Fixed problem that after pasting new treatments into treatment editor for a trial the Cut, Copy and Paste toolbar icons were disabled. Window - Trial Map ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when there are several plot experimental units and a small block size, the experimental unit number and treatment number for some experimental units is a much smaller font. Tools - Merge Study Edit - Insert Replicate Edit - Insert Treatments ------------------------------------- Fixed a problem that assessment data was not correctly inserted when merging plots, or inserting replicates or treatments. Tools - Validate Study ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after making changes to Settings of a protocol using G-All7, the protocol would fail validation with 'Missing G-ChkBox.lst' error. Tools - Validate Entry ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that when typing in a filter for a validation list, the first character was lost. Utilities - Rebuild Study List ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that after running Utilities - Rebuild Study List, the Data Conversion dialog would sometimes linger until ARM is closed. Graph ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that selecting OK or Apply Now on Graph Options dialog caused an additional empty column to appear at the right of the graph for line and bar graphs. General ------------------------------------- Fixed an error when closing multiple ARMs at once. Fixed problem that for option to automatically renumber treatments, a user setting of 'Prompt' was changed to 'Yes' during ARM startup Tools - Options - ST Summary Report ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that Help would not display for any of the ST Summary options. ***************************************************************** Version 8.1.3 August 15, 2008 Changes ***************************************************************** Window - Site Description ------------------------------------- Fixed issue that information may display in the wrong entry field when opening ARM 7 studies with multiple repeating sections. Fixed problem that grid error may occur when adjusting split screen position while cursor is in a Site Description grid. Fixed problem when a date entry field is at bottom of an editor screen, part of calendar may be displayed off the screen. File - Database Export ------------------------------------- Fixed issue that ARM did not test uniqueness of a unique study ID (GUID) when study with an existing study GUID is exported to a new database. Fixed error updating the master database when ARM exported a study without an existing study unique ID (GUID). File - Database Import ------------------------------------- Fixed an overflow error when importing a long rich text field entry. Added ability to import/export rich text study level comment field (TEC). Graph ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that some graph prompts referred to 'Data' and 'Treatments' instead of 'Assessments'. Fixed problem that data labels were printing with 10 decimals on the graph, and there was no way to turn off data labels. General - Tooltips ------------------------------------- Fixed problem that ':#PT' displayed instead of the current experimental unit name on some tooltips. Study Definitions ------------------------------------- Changed to force GDMdef Trt No field to maximum width when opening or importing a study, in case a user has reduced width of this field. Fixed issue that Tank Mix description field in G-All7 and G-Seed7 protocol description was not auto-filled when opening a protocol created with version 8.1.1 or older. ***************************************************************** Version 8.1.2 August 8, 2008 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Export - Database ------------------------------------- Enhanced connection to ARM Trial Database so an exported trial is no longer linked with only one database. File - Export Study - Data Export ------------------------------------- Fixed a problem that after changing export file type, the Export Data Options did not always change correctly to match the type. File - Import - Database ------------------------------------- Added Study List interface for import from database such as ARM Trial Database: - Enhanced Filter For to include ranges for numbers and dates. Also fixed an error that would occur when filtering on numbers and dates. - Added a Remove Filter button and a Remove Filter right-click menu item for when the entire grid is hidden (when there are no valid studies to select). - Enhanced to allow choosing study file version (ARM 8 or ARM 7) to save for a study imported from EDE or DB. - Fixed a problem that some ValEdits were not applied during database import. File - Import - EDE ------------------------------------- Enhanced to allow choosing study file version (ARM 8 or ARM 7) to save for a study imported from EDE or DB.
