Pulse workspace version 4.5.1

Pulse Workspace

We have moved from version 4.4.95 to 4.5.1 to reflect our upgrade of the underlying DevExpress controls and editors used in our software. The DevExpress version is now 17.1.

1. We have changed the default font throughout our software from Tahoma to Segoe UI. This is the same font used by Microsoft as its system font in all recent operating system releases.
2. We have added the ability to change text size. We emphasise that this is currently a work in progress and has the potential to corrupt some form and dialog displays, especially at very large and very small text sizes. Most forms will be Ok at Small, Large or Normal text size.
3. As part of our effort to implement change to text size, we are progressively upgrading our forms and dialogs. We are replacing our old wizard dialog with a new version and now employ a layout assistant in forms design. For some forms this will result in a dramatic change in appearance but little or no change to functionality. Changes thus far are most evident in our Payroll and Rostering software.
4. Pulse Workspace now has a new Microsoft Office-like ribbon menu. We have also rearranged the menu items into more logical groups and pages…
   1. The Personality items are now grouped under Appearance and include new Colour Mixer and Change Text Size menu items.
   2. Software update menu items have been moved to a separate Web Update page.
   3. Remote Support is now a menu item in the Help menu group with a large icon.

Payroll & Rostering

1. We have conmpletely re-written Maintain Standard Shifts and Maintain Ad Hoc Shifts. These applications now employ the same grid / dialog data entry methods found in all our software. As a result, the reliability of data entry has much improved.
2. We have incorporated the ATO’s 2017 Single Touch Payroll validation suite into our software.
