RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 6.2c  2/15/2000
=====================================================

* Maintenance release.  Fixed minor problems with new customers of
  Scotland Yard; The Employee Detective would appear to freeze for
  customers that did not previously have the "myfolder" database.


RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 6.2  2/9/2000
=====================================================

* Scotland Yard has been recompiled using the latest version of 
  Computer Associates Visual Objects 2.5a.  The update fixes
  minor NT problems, older Windows 95 issues, and printing problems
  with Lexmark and HP printers.

* The 6.2 Updates contains a MYFOLDER.ZIP file that has the 
  myfolder.dbf and myfolder.cdx.  If you are upgrading from an older version
  prior to 6.1, then you will need to unzip the MYFOLDER.ZIP file. If
  you are upgrading from 6.1, then you do not need to use the MYFOLDER.ZIP
  file.

* Status History Report can now be run for an individual employee or for 
  all employees. 



RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 6.1  11/16/99
=====================================================

* Employee Detective enhancement!  Now users can create their own grouping
  of employees they want to track/watch.  Users can add employees to
  their "MyFolder" that are from different locations or departments.

* Moved Registration Number from the System Registry into the shared 
  scotland.ini file.  Now you only need to register the program once...
  all users don't have to register anymore.

* An error was introduced in 6.0 with changing multiple employee's 
  status code.  This has been fixed.

* Companies can now disable the History Log feature.  If your company
  doesn't use the history log database and reporting, know you can
  turn off this feature and save disk space and increase the performance
  of Scotland Yard.

* Companies can now disable the calendar feature.  Some companies do
  not want the users to be able to create future items.  Now you 
  can turn off this feature if it is not desired for your company.  
  Disabling this feature will remove the Calendar Icon from menus.

* Modified the Print Messages to include the user's name on the 
  header of the report.  This is useful if a receptionist is printing
  multiple messages for various employees.  Now the name of the person
  is on the report!

* Modified the Print Messages to include the "Taken By" employees name.




RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 6.0  8/22/99
=====================================================

Many new features in 6.0.  First, Scotland Yard has been recompiled
using the latest version of Computer Associates Visual Objects 2.5.
Scotland Yard version 6.0 will be faster, use less memory resources,
and will run better on Windows 95/98 and NT computers.  

NEW! Scotland Yard now allows users to schedule future in/out items 
so automatic updating can take place.  It is important to note that
the automatic updating is achieved by running the separate SY_SCHED.EXE
program; this program needs to run on one computer (or file server) at
all times...if it is not running, then automatic updating will not 
occur.  

Some companies may not wish to allow their users/employees to schedule
future changes.  By not installing the SY_SCHED.EXE, the calendar
feature is disabled.


* New Calendar data file for storing future in/out items

* New Calendar Form for entering future in/out items

* New Date Control for entering/editing all dates

* Changed - Registration Number is now stored in the system registry 
for each workstation.  This means that each user will need to register
once on his/her machine...after that, the Registration Number will be
"locked in" for the lifetime of the product.  You may want to send out
a company wide email with the Reg # before releasing 6.0 on your 
employees.

COMING SOON!  SY_SCHED.EXE can run on any Windows 95/98/NT computer, but we
will have a separate NT Service version for Windows NT Server within a few
weeks.

COMING SOON!  Scotland Yard Report Writer which will allow you customize all existing 
reports and create your own reports.




RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 5.01 2/7/99
=====================================================

Included in the ZIP download file is a file named "SYupdate.exe".  
Copy all files included in the ZIP update file into the Scotland 
Yard directory.  Then run the SYupdate.exe program.  SYupdate.exe 
is a DOS program that will convert the (version 5.0) History File 
data structure into the new format.  This must be completed before 
you can sucessfully install the 5.01 update.  In order to run 
SYupdate.exe, all users must be out of Scotland Yard.


* Modified History Log data structure to include employee Comments. 

* Modified History Log Report to include include employee Comments. 

* Modified History Log Report to filter on specific employee status code. 

* New Employee Status Report - print out current status of all employees or for a department. 

* Added ability to print messages. 


RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 5.0 1/15/99
=====================================================

NEW!  Scotland Yard now has reports!  There are three new reports.
Employee List, Employee List by Department, and History Log report.
The History Log reports displays the status code changes per 
employee for a given date range.  

NEW!  Scotland Yard now stores all status code changes into a
History Log file.  This information can be used to print 
history log reports for each employee.

* There are 3 security levels in Scotland Yard.  Scotland Yard
security level 3 (the lowest level) no longer has the ability
to view other employee's phone messages.  

* Status Code set-up is now available to the Administrative 
Security Level only (the highest level).

* Change made to date input fields; there is now a date icon
button next to all date fields that can be pressed to display
a pop-up calendar for selecting date ranges.



RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 4.1 11/09/98
=====================================================

* Created new data file for storing Status Codes/Descriptions.  
Companies can now have unlimited Status Codes/Descriptions.  
Versions prior to this release (4.0, 4.0a, etc.), had a limitation
of 15 Status Codes and stored the settings in the scotland.ini file.  

NOTE: Status Code Descriptions can be added/editing/deleted in the
Status Codes Set-up.  The status codes data file uses a different
technique for storing status codes.  Therefore, after you install
this version, you will need to update the status of every employee
since the status code stored for each employee won't match the
new data file.

* Phone Message fix: Word wrapping is now on when entering a phone 
message in the MESSAGE section.  Before this fix, you were required 
to hit Enter at the end of each line.

* Phone Message fix: When adding a new message, the cursor is 
automatically placed on the "FROM" field.
				


RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 4.0c 10/26/98
=====================================================
* Scotland Yard (scotland.exe) now does the message pop-up like 
the sign_in.exe does.

* Added more icons for Status Descriptions!

* When displaying the employees in the "Large Icon" view 
(in the Employee Detective), clicking once on an employee will 
display the employee's status, return time, and comments on the
status bar.  You no longer need to double click and bring up the 
sign in/out window to see the status of the employee.


RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 4.0b 10/13/98
=====================================================
*  Version 4.0b fixes a minor problem with the messages "pop-up" feature.  
Scotland Yard will now pop-up on the desktop (if it was minimized) for 
employees with new messages.


RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 4.0a 10/8/98
====================================================
*  Fixed problem with manually entered returned time.  With the new
   4.0 version, the manually entered time was not saved correctly.


RELEASE NOTES FOR SCOTLAND YARD VERSION 4.0  09/30/98
=====================================================

*  Changeable Status Descriptions.  Now companies can customize the
   status descriptions and the displayed icons representing the
   status descriptions to fit their companies needs.

*  Year 2000 Compliant.

*  Password field is now masked with "*" while entering the password.

*  Message pop-up changes.

*  Memory enhancement changes.

   updated RDD files from Computer Associates.  

*  Version 4.0 is not compatiable with the DOS Sign In/Out version.
   If you still have employees using the DOS version of the Sign In/Out
   program, then DO NOT UPDATE to version 4.0.  The most recent version
   of Scotland Yard that still works with the DOS version is version 3.1
   and can be downloaded from the web site  (www.yale-software.com).


IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTES  - PLEASE READ!
======================================

This version of Scotland Yard allows companies to customize 
the Status Descriptions. Therefore, when you update your version 
of Scotland Yard to version 4.0, some of the icons displayed will not 
match the status descriptions.  This is a one-time occurance.
You will need to use the Employee Detective and update each 
employee's IN/OUT status.  

After each employee has been updated, you can then go into the 
Status Description Set-up (located under the File menu choice) and 
add/delete/change the Status Descriptions.

Enjoy Scotland Yard version 4.0!
