====== Whats New Release 1.4.0.38 ======

Released September 2013

===== New Features =====

| **Deployment Slots** | Each Schedule date can now be further divided into 'Deployment Slots'.  These slots are defined at the tree level and inherited, so that different countries/schedule groups can have different slots specified.  Examples might be 'AM' and 'PM'.  Or 'Hotel' and 'Work' |
| **Validation Portal** | A new portal has been added that allows the customer to view and correct groups of Deployment, Computer and User data.  It is imagined that this could be used by customers at Deployment status '1 - Edit' for validation, or '2 - User Portal' if a project needs a customer administrator to manage many deployments instead of using the User Portal |
| **Exceptions** | Deployments, Computers and Users have built in customisable rules, that can generate an exception alert - with additional menu options to filter by exceptions so incorrect data is easier to locate.  Examples might be 'Users should logon to the portal' - an exception generated for users that have never logged on. |
| **Tags** | Deployments, Computers and Users can now be Tagged in the DMS Console.  Tags allow for groups of these items to be quickly created and manipulated |
| **Build Sheet Update** | Build Sheet Generator has been re-written to make it much faster.  It is also easier to customise and can now access any value in the database.  It can also print bar codes of any types, and improves handling of multi-page build sheets. |
| **DMS Console GUI update** | The Deployments/Users/Computers dialogs have been improved with multiple menu bars allowing filtering by many different values |
| **Computer User Added** | Computers have a new value of 'User', to cater for projects where the Schedule User is not the computer user.  For example, a single person maybe responsible for all the computers on their floor.  They would therefore be the Schedule User for all those deployments, but not the Computer User |
| **Components** | Computers/Peripherals/Applications have been merged into a Components menu.  This allows DMS to be extended to accommodate new types for a customer.  An example might be to deploy extra Monitors or Additional batteries for laptops.  Available components can now also be restricted by the selected new Computer model |
| **Bad Logon Count** | If 3 bad logon attempts are made within 4 minutes, the account is disabled |
