SIMS 4.2 Release Notes

The Space Information & Management System (SIMS) was updated on August 21, 2020 to release 4.2.

Feature Improvements

Grid Performance

The primary grids, Occupants, Property, Building, Floor, Space, Assets are now leveraging a metadata engine to significantly improve grid loading and searches.  For example, The Space Grid will now load all 112,000+ records in under 2 seconds compared to the 15+ seconds it took previously.

Date Filters on Primary Grids

The grid filtering tools for dates on the primary grids have been extended to support wildcard searches.

• "NOT NULL" - will display all records that have any date. If these words are found in the filter, all other characters in the field will be ignored.
• "IS NULL" - will display all records that have no date. If these words are found in the filter, all other characters in the field will be ignored.
• "<" Greater Than (followed by a full date), will display all dates greater than the date entered. If this character is found at the beginning of the field, it must be followed by a full date and no other wild cards will be allowed. If a date does not follow this character, or other wild cards are found, an error will be displayed, and the search canceled.
• "<" Less Than (followed by a full date), will display all dates less than the date entered. If this character is found at the beginning of the field, it must be followed by a full date and no other wild cards will be allowed. If a date does not follow this character, or other wild cards are found, an error will be displayed, and the search canceled.
• "%" Wild Card, (could be any character in its place) - this character may be used to replace any part of a date. No other operators will be allowed.

Select All Grid Feature

If a grid allows for multi-selection, a new “Select All” control will allow users to select all records in a grid and take actions on those records.

Occupants Data

The Occupants tab in the Space module has been made widely available to the general user.  You can now search for and filter occupants from this grid.
