  2. Highlights • This presentation shows you the new features in the User Interface (UI) for Colleague Release 17 • Tree Menu Windows • Save All/ Cancel All • Word Wrap in Comments • More LookUp features • Additional Notes to Testing Teams

  3. Tree Menu Windows Click the Tree button to hide or show the tree menu when a screen is open When you first log on, the UI window will look much like it did in R16 When you enter a screen, the screen appears in the right hand window, with the tree menu on the left

  4. Save All/ Cancel All SAVE ALL CANCEL ALL Now when you detail onto another screen, you can save or cancel out of all screens at once; just click on Save All or Cancel All Make sure you want to save; you will NOT get the Update-Cancel-Return window when you use these buttons

  5. Word Wrap in Comments Most comments and description fields now have word wrapping capability. Exceptions are those that have no “Detail”. If previous text (entered in R16) is found that exceeds the line length, an Alert will ask you if you want to reformat text. Choose Y for yes. You can also cut, copy and paste from Word or other sources directly into these fields! Use the menus, or right-click, or Ctrl-X (cut), Ctrl-C (copy), Ctrl-V (paste) There is even an undo! (right-click) To automatically sign comments with your name, date and time, click on Edit/ Date/Time/Login Stamp; (The # key will do the same thing)

  6. Better LookUp for Some Fields Fields that were tiny, but still required data entry, will now provide you a lookup window

  7. Direct Access If you are in a screen for a particular record, you can go directly to another screen for this record. Click on File/ Direct Access or F8 and click Update Type the mnemonic of the screen you want to access (use CAPS) The new screen will display for this student; when you save from the second screen, your original screen is still active for entering your next record.

  8. Additional Notes The last screen in canned reports has additional fields You may enter Y here to execute in the background; enter I for Background Execution Type When testing, please use NO as you have in the past. You will want to view that records are found. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TEST THESE BATCH PROCESSES AT THIS TIME; WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THESE FUNCTIONALITIES AT A LATER TIME.

  9. Additional Notes • You can now hold more than 1 transcript to the print browser for local printing
