New Version of Pulsar WEB
December 17 2002
Pulse Train has just announced the release of Pulsar WEB 2.50-00 with a whole new range of features.
Some of the recent enhancements included within this version are:
- Caching of data - Report results are now stored in the Pulsar WEB database once a report has been calculated. The results are then reloaded next time the report is opened so calculation time is avoided.
- Optimisation of ASP - Table and Chart generation is now faster.
- Global Filter panel - The global filter is now displayed, along with the project details, in the bottom left corner of the screen. Users can right-click over this area to change the filter.
- Domain refresh option - The refreshing of domains when creating new users can now be switched off. This can save time when creating new users on domains with many users.
- Statistic suppression - Statistics that are not applicable for a report are now suppressed. Previously N/A would be displayed.
- Load balancing - The calculation work can be shared between two or more machines to increase the performance.
- Support of the Automatic Transposition and Weighting utility.
This new utility allows users of Bellview FUSION and Bellview WEB to analyse large data sets more efficiently. Data accessed directly via the database is not stored in the best way for analysis. This is due to the fact that the data is stored on a respondent level, and because access through ODBC is not the fastest way to analyse large data sets.
Future enhancements are to include:
- Caching support for real-time connections with Bellview WEB and Bellview FUSION
- The next planned release will support Hierarchical data and have a customisable interface.
