IQA changes
This release includes many valuable improvements to the Intelligent Query Architect (IQA) module.
- IQA is now more accessible. A new Advanced Query menu item has been added to the Home, Customers, Orders, and Events task lists, which provides access to many new predefined queries that are useful in supporting user activities. (Requires installation and licensing of iMIS Server .NET.) Queries that are run from these locations have links in the query results that you click to automatically load the associated customer, event, or order profile.
- You can now configure IQA to return more than 500 rows from a query.
- We've also made significant enhancements to query filters, giving you further capabilities:
- You can now limit the number of rows returned, giving you the ability to effect a "top n records" type of result.
- You can now specify multiple values for a single property, which greatly simplifies building queries with OR comparisons.
- A new -All- value can be used at run time to turn off optional filters without reloading the query.
- The Contains, Not Contains, Starts With, and Ends With comparison operators are now associated with non-validated fields instead of validated fields, to enable the use of more intuitive values such as partial strings and comma-separated multiple strings.
- The Between comparison operator now uses two values to more intuitively specify the inclusive range.
- Date values can now be chosen with an intuitive calendar format date selector instead of by manually typing the date, and date values can now include a specific time stamp.
- The Prompt choices No, Yes, and Yes* have been replaced by the more intuitive set of No, Optional, and Required.
