Manual index - scroll bar unavailable

Issue

The scroll bar was not visible in the manual index tab, now corrected.

VDS-75

POD scans - archived deliveries

Issue

Changes to the background delivery note upload process so that if the delivery cannot be found in the live tables that it searches the archive instead and updates there if found.

VDS-81

Consolidated delivery note scanning

New Feature

In a future version of Distribution & Document Generator, a new Consolidated Delivery Note will be generated for multiple deliveries to a drop point containing stock sourced from various customer accounts. 
With this version of VDG, when one of these consolidated delivery note’s is provided to the scanner, the copy will be uploaded and stored against all the deliveries within the consolidation and marks them all accordingly / updates their delivery status should that be required.

Description

VDS-63

Barcode recognition reliability

Bug

Barcodes on some PODs were failing to be read by VDS, requiring users to enter them manually.  Barcode recognition has been optimised.

VDS-58

Barcode recognition - out of memory

Bug

When reading the barcode of some documents, an OutOfMemoryException could occur.

VDS-66

Scanning methods - TWAIN

Improvement

The library used to interface with the scanner when Scan Method is set to ‘TWAIN’ has been replaced with an alternative, which provides better image quality without affecting the size of scanned image files.

VDS-64

Minimum scan resolution & image compression

Improvement

As the application is now capable of scanning 2D format barcodes for the Vision Document Scan Labels, the minimum resolution we recommend for scanning these barcodes is 300 dpi.  Changes have been made to set the default scan resolution to set it to 300 dpi, and where users set this to anything lower, warnings will now be shown explaining why a higher resolution is recommended.

With higher resolution images this means scan files will be larger, so compression has also been optimised and files are now smaller than they were even in previous versions.

VDS-59

Document Scan Labels & Manifests
Recognising new barcodes

Improvement

New versions of Vision Warehousing produce Document Scan Labels which contain a 2D barcode, and Vision Distribution now prints a 1D barcode on it’s Manifest (as a fallback for when their ePOD fails or a paper note isn’t available). 

VDS is now capable of scanning & uploading these new document barcodes.

VDS-53

Awaiting upload log - spelling

Issue

In the ‘Awaiting Upload’ tab on the right side we have an application log, when an error was encountered when importing a file the following words were incorrect, 'OCCOURED' & 'DESCRPTION'.

VDS-36

Integration with Suite Launcher (VSL)

Improvement

2.0.0

The VDS setup has been simplified with v3, the final piece to the puzzle to allow users to install themselves is to integrate the VDS with VSL.

VDS-32

Image file upload & user transparency

Improvement

2.0.0

In the previous version there were 2x components to the installation; Document Scanner (application) and Image Uploader (service).  This complicated the installation & setup, presented problems if multiple scanner users used the same machine with different logins, and failed uploads were not at all transparent to the users.

As such in this version the Image Uploader service is now redundant and that functionality has been moved into the Document Scanner itself. 

Successfully indexed files will be visible in a new tab where users can press a button to upload them, with full transparency of any failed uploads.

VDS-18

Licensing

Improvement

2.0.0

Various improvements to licensing.

VDS-17

General update to latest versions

Improvement

2.0.0

The product has been updated, the application itself and the internal scanning component which interfaces with the scanner as well.

Release Notes

VDS 12

VDS updating manifest to Status D when the first delivery is confirmed.

Bug

1.0.1

If a manifest has 5 delivery's on it. When uploading scans from VDS, the manifest status should be updated to 'D' and only when processing the final delivery on the manifest which is outstanding. 

VDS 9

Scanner halting after a paperjam

Bug

1.0.0

With some new scanners (Epson GT-S85) when there's a jam the software halts reporting "Scanning in process..." The driver reports a jam. Clearing the jam and clicking okay doesn't restart the scanning.

You have to end process on the vision scanning software. Due to this locking the scanner driver you can't scan until you log out and back in again.

The original scanner (Epson GT-1500) continues scanning after a jam. So it seems to be incompatibility with the software and twain codes. 

VDS 8

Unable to save edited configuration file

Bug

1.0.0

You are unable to save an edited configuration with the software. It reports an error accessing the file. Even if you are logged in as admin. We are getting around this by editing the XML file manually. 

VDS 7

Software not closing correctly

Bug

1.0.0

When closing down the software it will intermittently still stay in the process list (the software will appear to close to the end user). Upon opening the software again it'll report that the scanner is unavailable (at this point there are 2 processes in the process list). This only appears to occur with Windows 7 (the systems are 64bit) 

VDS 4

Allow the use of the program without a scanner - Direct image upload to a directory, program to loop through the files and index each by reading barcode

New Feature

Able to use VDS with a network scanner, whereby a PC is not required to control the scanning, the scanner dumps the scan in a network directory.

They still need to use VDS to 'index' (look for barcode and rename) the uploaded images.

1) Add a new field to the 'Settings' tab, 'Upload Path'
2) Add a new tab 'Upload' positioned to the right of the existing 'Scan' tab.
3) Add a new option to the 'license string' called 'UploadEnabled' which will control whether or not the 'Upload' tab can be clicked on or not.

The new 'Upload' tab will be a copy of the existing 'Save' tab, with the same grid and image previewer, but the tab will look at files in the new 'Upload Path' instead. On the 'Upload' tab, the 'Save' button will say 'Upload' instead, when this button is clicked, VDS will loop through each of the files and attempt to find the barcode on each image, and then rename them in the same way as we do from the 'Scan' tab.

During the 'Upload' process, if the barcode is detected and the image can be renamed, the file will be moved straight into the 'Final Save Path'. Any where the barcode cannot be found will go to the 'Temp Save Path' and allow the user to manually enter the barcode values.

VDS 2

Licensing

Improvement

In the first full release of the VD scanning application we added a license field on to the setup tab in the application, we also allowed this to be saved.
