I have just discovered that with the upgrade to iMIS 15.0. ASI has decided to drop the IQA Business Object of 'Contact' and replaced it with 'NetContact'. After about 1 hour looking through IQA for this object (an object that I have been using since 10.4) I finally gave up.
Like a good boy I went through the http://docs.imis.com to see what I should be using and what happened to 'Contact'. No such luck.
Our family made a road trip to west Texas for the Open Source Symposium, held on Saturday April 26 at Angelo State University, in San Angelo. Its mission is to introduce open source to those working in college environments, which was why UT Austin was pleased to have my husband, Adam attend and report back to them. STC Austin's own Janet Swisher presented on how to participate in OS projects.
A group of Austin-based ASIers volunteered at the Special Olympics Texas offices to do data entry to ensure a quality and fair competition for the athletes, as well as to verify athlete medical information for safety purposes. Eight of us came for a four hour shift, and we started out at the computers, entering the names and birth dates for athletes in training. Greg found the oldest athlete at age 70, and age 6 was our youngest athlete. Kids are allowed to start training at age 6, even though they don’t compete until age 8. As a baby name buff, I enjoyed seeing the names – from Amiracle to Blaze.
Has anyone successfully integrated iMIS email address updates to Constant Contact? I have a client who is very happy with Constant Contact and is interested in an integration from iMIS to their data at Constant Contact.
this should be very simple. I install iMIS on the internal server, desktop, casual i15 and public i15. everything is working great. when i log in to the server and log in to iMIS desktop it works great. public view and casual work great. when someone else logs in to the server they get the type 13 mismatch error on the desktop although the other 2 work fine. the desktop on this server works only for my log in.
ups charges these 2 states based on 5 characters zip code not 3. iMIS table is only allowing 3. has anybody found a work around for these 2 states?
Symptom: If you're seeing random, periodic extremely slow page refreshes on your iMIS app server (full or public view, either one), check the first section of this Howto for the ASP.Net "idle worker process timeout" setting.
The issue is that by default, IIS kills the ASP.Net worker process after 20 minutes of inactivity, causing the next page access to restart the appdomain (leading to that annoying "first hit" slowdown as all the business objects are loaded, iBO initialized, etc).
Last night at the STC Austin program, Dr. John Morkes (of Expero, which hosts Free Usability Advice) argued that the next stage in User Experience would be "Joy of Use", which follows [1] Usefulness and [2] Ease of Use. That is, the emotions experienced by use of software or sites become the powerful differentiator among otherwise comparable offerings. Reminding me of Maslo's hierarchy of needs, Morkes ranked UX needs like this, from "must have" to "nice to have":
Research: Studies in psychology, marketing, and education clearly nail the benefits of humor, for improving likeability, social glue, trust, cooperation, sociability, and lowering fear and stress. Adding humor did not cost extra time in the completion of tasks. MRI studies of the effects of humor show that it activates the brain's reward centers, exactly as occurs when we see a pretty face, receive money, or take drugs.
we are trying to add a pop up window in the web components. we have added the button but get an error message that the page can't be found. anyone try this successfull with some advice?
YouTube is massing and hosting far more educational content than how-tos and demos. The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill now has a dedicated portal for lectures, talks, and interviews: http://www.youtube.com/uncchapelhill.
Videos range from professors giving intimate talks, prominent speakers presenting large lectures, and interviews that probe scholars’ research and teaching. UNC's recordings and some simple metadata are uploaded to YouTube and appear on the UNC “channel.” The volume is impressive: There are now more than 250 videos in different playlists on the UNC channel. I read in a press release (posted to the ASIS list, http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/asis-l) that the UNC/YouTube relationship proved so successful that channel management is transitioning to the Dept. of University Relations, although colleges will continue to add lectures. The interesting twist to me is the University's generosity with this content: the videos are free and available for use classrooms, home-schooling, research, and more, and the school encourages use and reuse of the materials. Times are a-changing!
