New features in v3.0 Beta:
- Survey Reports Now Integrated Within the Main Application
You now perform data collection and reporting within the
same application. The entire reporting interface was
redesigned to be easier to use and to provide more
effective views of your wireless network.
- Report Files (.VWR) are No Longer Created
Your reports are now saved as part of your survey files
(.VWS) as one integrated storage solution. You can
migrate your existing report files using the "Migrate Old
Report Files" menu option found under the Report menu.
- Creating Reports on a Second Computer
You can still work with reports on a computer different
from the one you use to perform a survey. Just install
VisiWave on the computer that already has version 2.1's
reporting tool registered. If version 3.0 sees a
valid report code, but not a valid survey code, then
you can still use the reporting features on that
computer. You just can't collect survey data on that
computer. This is indicated by all three of the
Capture Modes always being grayed out.
- Application Menu Items have been Restructured
To accommodate combining both data collection and
reporting into one program, some menu items have moved to
new locations.
- Keyboard Shortcuts
Many new keyboard shortcuts were added. See the key
assignments listed next to the menu items.
Features Not Ready for Beta:
- PDF Reports
With this beta version of VisiWave, you can only generate
HTML reports. PDF report generation is de-activated for
now.
- Report Templates
Pressing the Templates button in the beta version has no
effect. Templates will allow you to create standard
reports that can be loaded into new surveys so you can
re-use the report templates you've previously created.
- Default Legend
The "Set As Legend Default" menu item found when right-
clicking on the legend at the bottom of a heatmap graph
is not yet implemented.
- Documentation
The Users Guide provided with this version has not been
updated from version 2.1. Also, the built-in help isn't
provided for reporting.
- Other Features
The behavior of any feature found in the beta may be
modified (or even removed) in the final release.
- Provide Feedback
This beta version is fairly stable, but you may still
encounter issues. Please provide feedback by emailing
support@visiwave.com with issues or comments. The more
detail you provide, the more likely we will be able to
assist you.
