SpEdDoc and FileMaker Upgrade on 5/22/09

I will be shutting down BRSU SpEdDoc at 3 p.m. on Friday, May 22, 2009 to perform upgrades to the system including upgrading FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server to version 10 and SpEdDoc to version 7.4. I expect to have the system back up later that afternoon.

The new version of SpEdDoc was designed to take advantage of new features in FileMaker Pro 10 including a significant change to the appearance of the navigation tool bars. The DOE forms remain unchanged in this version. New features include:
  • A new back button that allows users to navigate backwards (and forwards) similar to a browser, tracing user history in the current session.
  • SpEdDoc navigation buttons moved to the left hand column freeing up the area above layouts for new FileMaker menus and toolbars.
  • FileMaker menu items that were previously grayed out are now available to users.
  • Further expansion of Preferences to customize the way SpEdDoc works in our organization.
