Outstanding Issues

  • 2575: Format Param maxColumnWidth in Excel Export does not always format the columns properly. The work-around is to format the columns once it is viewed in Excel. This can be done quickly by selecting the top-left cell between “A” and “1″. Once the sheet is selected double-click on the line between columns “A” and “B”.
  • 6663: Calendar Week Number Display – Sometimes the week identifier is not presnted properly to the user. It shows Week 2 (27-3) December. It should show Week 1 of December or Week 5 of November for 2006.
  • 6665: You can not insert the image, table, or link into the message using the HTML editor.
  • 6667: The “Active Status” functionality is not implemented

  • 7050: Portal logo uses http not https
  • 7833: Upload document action failed in isolated cases
  • 7933: Spelling errors in the Compiler error messages
    - “Error: Formulas Line X: formulaId must be unique within the Foumulas worksheet..” It should be “Formulas” instead of “Foumulas”.
    - “Error: Dependencies – Definition Line X: Corretion Required can not be empty.” It should be “Correction” instead of “Corretion”.
    - “Error: Question Types – Definition Line X: Field Size must be empty or two positive integers seperated by::, e.g. rowSize::colSize.” It should be “separated” instead of “seperated”.
  • 8002: Expression evaluation related with PartialDate should be better documented

  • character string must be used to denote a double-quote (“) string qualifier.
  • 8182: Custom Import with Partial Date should be better documented

  • 8549: Link to Status manager is Missing from Action Box

  • 10027: Upload/ Attach Files to a form

    In the 2.5 if you have uploaded file through Upload button on a form this file would be attached to the form at the same time. You would be able to see the link to this file on the form and couldn’t delete this file from the File manager.

    Now in 3.0 if you have uploaded a file from a form it would be “partially” attached: you can’t delete it from the File Manager but you also can’t see the link on the form. In this case there is no way to release the hold of these files.

  • 10242: Search with wild card by Question Type does not work in Query, Alert, and Comment Managers

    Search with wild card by Question Type does not work in the Query, Alert, and Comment Managers. It works only if you enter complete question type. Also, in the Query Manager you can search by Response Text but there is no such column exist.
