Enhancements to the Display Screen Text Editor
The QMSCAPA Display Screen Text Edit (DSTE) allows an Administrator User (AU) to modify the text within the QMSCAPA program at runtime. This includes all visible text such as buttons, menu options, prompts, and window captions. The text can be altered or translated from English to any other language that uses the Latin alphabet.
This feature enables the AU to create multi-language versions of the QMSCAPA application, where users can translate the text as needed.
It also allows users to adjust terminology within the program, even if they are using the same language. This helps to make the program more familiar and user-friendly. For example, in some countries, the term “ZIP Code” is used, while in others, it is referred to as “Postal Code.” Even specific words like “color” and “colour” can have different spellings in different countries.
The DSTE allows these terms to be customized to best suit the user’s preferences.
The QMSCAPA database with the Display Screen Text is only included with the QMSCAPA ‘license-free demo.’ This demo version is used for initial installation on a stand-alone Windows computer or a multiple-user Windows OS server.
Any QMSCAPA ‘official update installers’ will not include the Display Screen Text database. QMSCAPA is shipped with a default database. Rest assured, any translations or text changes made by the AU will not be overwritten by subsequent software updates.
Passive Software Record Locks
We continue to on work on improving the passive software record lock (PSRL). Typically PSRL refers to a security mechanism that automatically restricts access to certain software features or data without requiring active user intervention. This can be used to prevent unauthorized access or to ensure that only authorized users can perform specific actions within the software.
Also, we have added [Active Lock button] to many of the record editor windows. This gives users more control over when to lock records actively, complementing the passive security measures already in place.
