Revolution Online Features Update

April 2007

Zip-it... Zip-it Good.

People have been pulling some mighty large files out of Revolution On-Line recently, which got us thinking, "hmm...  How can we be sure all these files get delivered to our clients?" Like most of our best ideas, the inspiration came to us through the old Devo song, but don't whip it, zip it! The result? Any asynchronous query with an output larger than 2 Megabytes will have the results automatically compressed into a .zip file before it's emailed.

Changes to Batch Input 
To improve data reliability and integrity we have stiffened up the process for locking a batch.  If the current user has made changes to any input fields during an editing session, they will not be able to "lock" the current batch.  The new process will require the user to save changes, re-open the batch to perform the required checks, then lock the batch.  (Trust us, it's for your own good.)

New Report Export Format 

Tab is not just for drinking anymore... Nor is it an annoying key on your keyboard.  Now, Revolution On-Line users can choose to output your report data in raw TAB-delimited format in addition to PDF, Excel, and Word, which were already available.

And yes, Tab, the Totally Awesome Beverage you used to love, is still available.  Swing by the ROI office and have one on us...
