QWeb - the web based browser for QRMS Version 6

Want to be one of the first to purchase QWeb, the new web based browser available for Version 6 and later versions of the QRMS software? If so, please contact sales@qrms.com for more information.

QWeb will allow your users to browse your records inventories over the Internet or corporate Intranet.

Just think of it, all users within your organization will have access to search your records without having to purchase Access Licenses or load the software on their individual client machines.

You can also browse the data stored in multiple QRMS Version 6 systems. For example, your head office is located in Victoria, BC but you have branches running separate QRMS systems in Cranbrook, Vernon, Kamloops and Vancouver. As long as each of your sites have a web server, then from any office, you can browse the files from any of the other offices.

Keep checking our web pages at www.qrms.com, in order to view a demonstration version of the QWeb component or contact us to order the new web component now.

Upgrade for QRMS Version 6 now available

The latest version of QRMS Version 6 can now be downloaded from our web site at www.qrms.com.

What does this upgrade contain?

Consolidator Module
One of the main enhancements in this version of QRMS Version 6 is the Consolidator module!

The QRMS Consolidator is intended to allow QRMS data from several remote sites running QRMS (stand alone or LAN version) to be consolidated into a single master database at a central location. This Consolidated Database can then be queried on over the web. The Consolidated database is based on OracleŽ databases (but could be configured for any type of Database Management System).

The QRMS Consolidator is currently in beta testing at the Ministry of Forests, British Columbia Provincial Government.

If you'd like more information on the QRMS Consolidator, please contact QRMS Records Management Software at (604)596-1434 or e-mail sales@qrms.com

Expanded Fields for Correspondence Module
Due to an enhancement request from our users, the length of two fields in the Correspondence module have been increased:

Subject field has been increased to 254 characters
Organization field has been increased to 120 characters

Updated Help
The on-line help for all the modules has been updated. In the QFix on-line help, all messages that get recorded in the QFix log can now be looked up. Simply bring up the on-line help index and type in the number of the message.

Other Enhancements/Bug Fixes
Please visit the Upgrade section on our web site at www.qrms.com for a complete list of all enhancements and bug fixed included with this upgrade of the software.

QRMS Version 7 now in development

WinPat Holdings Ltd. is pleased to announce that QRMS Version 7 is now in development!

What will be new in QRMS Version 7?

QRMS Version 7 can be connected to any Database Management System (DBMS) including OracleŽ, SQL ServerŽ and InterBaseŽ. Interbase will be included free with the software or the client can provide their own licenses for running QRMS Version 7 on Oracle or SQL Server (or any other DBMS). The number of records that can be entered in Version 7 will be limited only by the DBMS used and available storage (i.e. the number of record the DBMS can accommodate and the amount of storage space on your server).

QRMS Version 7 is a flexible program that will include such features as user defined terminology and a multi-level hierarchial structure (i.e. Primaries, Secondaries and true Tertiaries will be available if required). As well, users will be able to include additional levels if more are required.

QRMS Version 7 will support some electronic document management functions, and will provide links to other EDMS systems.

QRMS Version 7 will have a web component that will allow any of your users with a web browser to do browsing, searching and reporting!

QRMS Version 7 will include all the features of QRMS Version 6 and too many new ones more to list them all here! Keep checking our web site for the latest on the development of this version. 

Want the opportunity to participate in the development of Version 7?

WinPat Holdings Ltd. is looking for active participants in the development of Version 7. Do you have some specific features you'd like included or specific functionality or do you just want to be involved in the overall development? 

If so, please contact Paul Huffington at (604)596-1434 or e-mail him at paulh@qrms.com for more information.

QRMS Training options that are now available

To supplement our standard QRMS training services, we have arranged to give night class courses in QRMS at Camosun College in Victoria, British Columbia.  

Currently QRMS offers multiple levels of training on both client sites and at selected QRMS training centres. 

It is hoped that night class training at Camosun will the be first of many such offerings at various adult education institutes, colleges and universities.

New QRMS Data Entry/Conversion Services

We will be expanding our data entry/conversion services for people moving from manual or desktop systems file listings (e.g. Excel, Word, Access) to include transfers from other automated records systems.

QRMS On-line Knowledge Base updated

The QRMS on-line knowledge base at www.qrms.com has been recently updated.

Now, find more of your questions on-line!

In order to access the QRMS on-line knowledge base, you will be required to enter a User ID and password. You can create your own User ID and password, by entering the serial # of your software and a site identifier for your organization that will confirm your access privileges.

 If you do not know your serial number or site identifier, please e-mail QRMS for the information and then visit the support section of www.qrms.com today.
