Easy Ask

Dictionary

To enhance the reliability of the response to questions using Easy Ask, the Dictionary is being replaced with a streamlined version. For this release, the Dictionary contains information from the following Biographical tables (only): Address, Attribute, Basic Data, Citizenship, Comment, Correspondence, Death, Custom Bio, Education, Employment, and Name. Future releases will include information from additional tables.

Mapping

Value-based Maps

Functionality has been added to the process of creating a Shaded Area, Shaded Circle, and Sized Circle map from within the Millennium Reporter. Each of these map types is dependent on a value being associated with a particular geographic point or area. The system will now prompt you to specify whether that value should be based on a count of the records in the worktable or on one of the Totals that have been defined in the criteria and calculated during the run of the report that created the worktable. The system also prompts you to specify whether you prefer that the area be along state boundaries or ZIP Code boundaries.

Hot key functionality has been added to Mapping within the Reporting World.

PDA

PDA Access

With this release, PDA Access is fully activated. This includes remote connection via hand-held devices with either a Pocket PC operating system or a Palm Pilot operating system (regardless of brand name). This includes the ability to view data for any constituent, plus shortcut access to the logon user's own Bookmarked constituents and Prospects, access to published PDA reports, and access to internet links to a map of a specific Address and the current local weather forecast for that location.
