new test release of Manager and Entry Client
Dear List.
Today we have release updated versions of the EpiData Manager and EntryClient programs.
The release today is a minor test release with focus on Manager enhancements and user customization.
Common fixed/changes: * Is is now possible to change font type, size and colour in both programs. This is done independently of the project. * A long standing problem where a projectfile contained exactly 13 fields would make the programs crash during load is finally fixed. * Other minor bugs related to importing/exporting to stata have been fixed.
Manager: * The "import/add structure" window now gives the user the option of keeping/renaming field and valuelabels if types and names match (produces smaller/smarter project files if there are overlapping fields/valuelabels). * In the program settings is it possible to define a default setup for a new project. * Using the "tools" no longer requires the project file to be open. * Using "importing structure" could under some circumstances produce fields without fieldnames. * Several bugfixes related to deleting field(s) involved in calculations, jumps, etc.
Entry: * Font changes as described above. * Some minor bug-fixes.
During the most recent weeks experimentation has been made with the creation of pdf formatted reports on structure, labels etc. Unfortunately we had to stop the pdf development due to various reasons and time constraints. Instead an html based solution will be created. This will be part of next test release.
Kind regards, Jens Lauritsen and Torsten Bonde Christiansen EpiData Association.
The HTML solution will be fine. Anyone can set up their system to print to PDF (it's built into OSX for those who use a Mac). It can be easier to get an HTML document into a spreadsheet or word processor. PDF writers often subset fonts so that cut and paste do not work (this is a rather technical issue that results from PDF writers aiming to make small PDF files. As an example, try to cut and paste the text from the Intro to Manager PDF. Any text in a special font will not be copied).

I do agree with Jamie.

Hi,
Thanks again, html is ok for me too More flexible and easy to manage. I know that following quality insurance rules, PDF could be more adequate but this is not a top priority in my opinion
Best regards Gilles
