Scientific publication about AMODIT at conference "Ecoinnovations in Poland"

Paper was published in monograph and also presented at the conference in Kielce, Poland. Publication describes innovative features of AMODIT and shows how it can be used to decrease amount of paper documents in an office.

Barcodes on scanned documents (PDFs)

AMODIT now lets not only generate barcodes on a form. It can also read them. And even more, it can create barcodes from rules and put tchem onto scanned documents, which are usually PDF files. So when you print scanned document it will be enriched with barcode. Barcode can contain ID of this document, its URL or any other information you want to put there.

What's new in version 2.0?

Most interesting new features are:

1. Synchronizing Active Directory groups and users with AMODIT groups.
2. Integration with store.amodit.com
3. Full suport for 1D and 2D barcodes. Including generating, reading and also adding to scanned documents.
4. Support for USB scanner devices.
5. Improved performarce of editing dictionary items.
6. CreateCase function which lets you create subprocesses from rules and then interact with them.
7. FillFieldsFromString function, which makes it easy to copy data from format like "name|address|city" into separate fields. It is useful for integration and external dictionaries.

Green Office Certificate

Environmental Partnership Foundation is helping companies to become more eco-friendly and reduce costs at the same time. If you apply all recommendations you can get Green Office Certificate.
One of recommendations is to reduce amount of paper used in office with help of DMS or workflow system. AMODIT is a very good way to achieve it.

New function: FillFieldsFromString

This function is very useful when you want to store many parts of information ia a string and then save it to proper fields. It makes it easy to have tricky effect. Lets say you have a list of customers. Every customer is described with fields like "name","street","city" and "numer of employees". So you can set it up in AMODIT as an external dictionary. But dictionaries have just two fields; "name" and "description". But you can store "street","city" and "numer of employees" in dictionatry item's "description" using separator, f.e. "Hollywood Blvd|Los Angeles|3500". Using new function your can easily read such a string and save pieces of information into proper fields.

Another example is a scenario when you have your customers in external database. You want to query it for additional data every time user types-in customer number and store it in proper fields on a form. You can do it with an example code below:

cs="DSN=BAZA;UID=user;PWD=pa$$";
sql="select SYS_DAO.f_get_Customer([CUST_ID]) from DUAL";
res=ExecuteSQL(cs,sql);
FillFieldsFromString(res,"##","Client name","Client name","Tax number","Registry number","Client address"," Client address "," Client address "," Client address ");

This rule retrieve customer data from database in the form of string with values separated by ## string. Ex:
ASTRAFOX##sp. z o.o.##5252171560##13928533##UL. TABOROWA##8##02-699##WARSZAWA

FillFieldsFromString function splits retrieved string and puts values into given fields. You can add as many fields names as you wish (input string can contain any number of values separated by given separator). If you want to omit specified position you can pass empty field name "". If one field is specified more than once, then values from specific positions are concatenated into this field.
