In this edition there is a lot of links to new content on our website, available from our Technical Support Section.  With new demos, education sessions and datasheet, there is something for everyone, from operations to sales.

With a quiet time on the commercial record center news front, we focused on some government news issues to give a different perspective.

Also, the provisional date is set for the Strategic Partner Conference 2008.  Many you have already been contacting us about this so I am delighted that you are as excited as we are about next years event.

As always, I hope you enjoy this edition.

E-discovery requires advanced e-mail systems
InfoStor Europe - September 2007
"Over the last two years, a large number of organisations have failed to produce electronic evidence in a timely manner, resulting in multi-million-pound fines and negative press coverage. With the increasing levels of regulation around e-discovery, organisations must be more proactive about how to archive, retrieve, and produce e-mails and related content in the event of a request from regulatory or government bodies."

It's funny how sometimes you get asked the same question more than once in a week.  Well last week was no exception as I was asked three times about Destruction Authorization Reports in RS-SQL.

Added as one of the new Reporting Services Management Reports, to support the Retention Scheduling feature, this report is formatted complete with "sign-off" sections for your customers to approve the destruction of records

To access the Destruction Authorization Report you go to:

Administration >> Records Retention >> Reporting >> Destruction Authorization.

You will need Microsoft Reporting Services running in order to utilize this report.  Contact your local technical support representative if you require assistance.

**NEW** Take a Look at the New Features in RS-SQL 3.04

A new set of O'Neil EXPRESS sessions has been added to the website giving an overview of several of the new features in version 3.04.  This set of sessions is a little different to the usual O'Neil EXPRESS as they are short, introductions rather than detailed training sessions.

Each 5 minute session covers:

• User Password Security Policies

• Updated Order Notification Functionality

• Additional Records Retention Features

Click Here to watch the sessions.  You will require a Strategic Partner username & password to continue.

Changes to Daylight Savings Time in the US

The rules for DST changed this year. DST was extended by 3 weeks in the spring and is being extended by 1 week in the fall.   If you did not address this issue in the spring it is essential to address it now.

In general, if you’re operating system is currently supported by Microsoft, appropriate updates will be made available by Microsoft. If you have Microsoft’s Automatic Update feature enabled, you will get the updates automatically. If you do not have Automatic Updates turned on and choose not to turn the feature on, you will have to manually download and apply the updates.

Finally, you can do the time adjustment directly by changing the time when the DST transition occurs; however, as an example, for Pacific time, time zone will remain “Pacific Standard Time (PST)” instead of “Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)” until the old rule for DST transition is applied three weeks later.

RSWeb.NET Demo Site

The site is available at: http://rsweb.oneilsoft.com/rswebnet

To access the site, contact your Business Development representative for a username & password.

Question: When using the PDT3100 I would get a notification  when I scanned a pick up item that is not itemized on the workorder and it would ask me if I wanted to add it.  In my new RSMobile device I don't get the same notification. Am I missing something?

Answer:  What you are noticing is simply a design difference as we took a new approach with the RSMobile devices.  As items are scanned, the Scan Date and Time is automatically added. As with the PDT3100, you can also scan unitemized items but with RSMobile the item code is added and the Scan Date/Time appears with an asterisk next to it.

If a driver does NOT intend to pickup things that are not itemized on a workorder, then they simply have to glance at the screen and look for asterisks, or look at the workorder details (from the Main Menu for that workorder) and choose the "pickups" tab. Here, all counts are displayed; Container/Filefolder/Tape are distinguished, and among those, itemized/unitemized. So, if you want zero unitemized pickups, just check before you leave.
