Current Version Service Packs

Service pack Version 7.0 – 0110 is available now. For installation information, new features and fixed bugs see the list below. Download SP 0110

General:

• The text filter for the Input collector (already known in V.65), is now available again for V7.0 [V7-2302]
• Automatically generated copies of FME files can now be placed in an extra folder for each file or in a common folder. The common folder can be configured in the workstation settings “Files and directories“. [V7-4996]
• The workstation settings “Auto-save configuration” and “Confirm mouse operations” are now saved and retrieved globally. [V7-5265]
• When importing translations, a more detailed error description is provided if an Excel file cannot be imported. [V7-5360]
• You can now choose to not import the contents of the Template file when opening an EXP file. [V7-5511]
• You can now change the “structure type” directly in the context menu of the Project Management dialog. This functionality is also available in the toolbar of the Structure Editor and the FFA via the drop down menu next to the contents Combobox. [V7-5516]
• A new workstation setting (found in “General“), enables the user to choose whether the type catalogs are always collapsed upon opening the Administration or the Input collector. If expanded directly in e.g. Administration, all levels are collapsed (default). With the following setting active, only the first level will be displayed: “Open catalogs always collapsed (Administration/Input collector)“. [V7-5593]
• When importing a catalog for product characteristics, the characteristics which have the same name but have different parent objects are no longer skipped as duplicates. [V7-5595]
• In the Valuation catalogs editor, column labels can now be renamed. [V7-5604]
• Under Administration -> Terminology and translation you can now limit the contents of the editor to sub structures or Fmea forms under View->Limit contents (formerly known as “limit to projects/structures”).
  Sub structures are selected system elements and all their dependent objects. [V7-5644]
• Variants: A summary is now displayed via the “Details” button within the Info tab (Properties dialog and Object Inspector), analogous to that of the summary of structures. [V7-5665]
• The Document setting “Automatic classification calculation: Do not overwrite existing classifications.” has been formulated more understandably: “Allow user overwrite over calculated classifications“. Nothing has changed in terms of functionality. [V7-5794]
• Clicking on the “All” button in the “Manage Variants” dialog now only selects the variants in which the independent object is included (reverted to previous behavior). If you really want to select everything, click the “All” button a second time. [V7-5810]
• In the dialog “Select Command…” the contents of the Comboboxes from the toolbar (e.g. filter) are displayed. [V7-5887]
• Management report: key figures can now be inserted directly as a bar chart. To do this, simply select the desired table cells. The chart can be inserted by right-clicking. The first column of the selection is used as description. The selected columns next to the first are used as values for the height of the bars. [V7-5940]
• Filter/Highlighting: analogous to the action categories, it is now also possible to search and filter for the function categories. [V7-5971]
• Management-Report: if the option “Show grid lines” is active they will also be printed and exported to HTML. [V7-5983]
• XML Interface: The values for monitoringCheck (Check) and monitoringReaction (Reaction) are stored in the SDG container of the fm-task-set element and for the variants in the fm-variant-misc-data element. They will also be re-imported if present. The export is executed in the MSR format as well as in the draft version. [V7-5988]

Editors:

• In the Causes based FMEA Form the AP column can be shown via a display option. [V7-5312]
• Structure Editor: If the focus feature (Ctrl + K) is not active, the previously focused-on elements can be refocused by using the command “Remove focus” (same behaviour when using the filter). [V7-5335]
• Control Plan: With active document setting “Display of process characteristics is based on characteristic/function net” and active display option “Show requirements” the process characteristics connected to requirements are now shown as well.In the “Working instructions and process control” editor it is now possible to “Show requirements“, too.
  Note:
  For versions, the process characteristics connected to requirements can only be displayed for control-plan versions created with Service Pack V7-0110 or later. [V7-5408]
• Opening and editing of nets in variants has been optimised. [V7-5908]

CSS Module:

• Under CSS Module Access Rights, a possibility has been created to store the owner of a certificate in the form of the Windows user name. If such a certificate is installed, a check will be made upon connection attempts to the CARM-Server whether the entry in the certificate matches the Windows user logged in. This functionality requires CARM-Server V5.7 – 0060 or newer. [V7-5680]
• The reference language for CSS modules and CSS catalogs can be set server-globally. It serves as an alternative language on the IQ-side, if a module or catalog object has no translation in the set document language. [V7-6003]

Printing/Web Publisher:

• With the new placeholder “%A“, the current program version along with service pack number can be added to headers and footers. [V7-5705]
• The Functional Safety – failure table is obsolete with version 7.0 of the IQ-Software. Therefore this document is no longer available in the Presentation-Print and Web-Publisher jobs. [V7-5903]

Excel-Ex-/Import:

• When importing FMEA forms from an Excel file, the option “Merge functions/characteristics/requirements/failure modes” can be used to control whether these objects should be merged during import. [V7-636]
• For the Excel import of FMEA forms there is a new option “Merge identical causes“.Causes can be merged if
  – they are anchored to the same function
  – they have the same number
  – they have the same name
  – all dependent objects (actions etc.) are the same [V7-1749]
• The Excel export of tables was reworked to better match the IQ layout in Excel. Only visible columns are now exported to Excel and sporadic bugs in the layout have been fixed.
  The “AIAG/VDA Form (MSR)” can now be exported to Excel. [V7-5477]

FMEA Forms Editor:

• Square and round brackets are now also displayed for AP, (same behaviour as RPN):
  – square brackets for the historical revision states
  – no brackets for the current revision state and
  – round brackets for the preview (proposed measures). [V7-5339]
• The table header name “VDA 2019 (AIAG/VDA)” has been changed to “AIAG/VDA 2019“. The layout names remain unchanged. [V7-5344]
• In the following layouts, it is now possible to display (via Display options), the S-max of the failure mode:  VDA 96/VDA 06, VDA 2019 (AIAG/VDA), AIAG (4th edition, D – Design), AIAG (4th edition, E – Process) [V7-5948]

AIAG/VDA Forms Editor:

• In the AIAG/VDA editor, the reference language is now also displayed for symbolic responsibles, if the display option is active. [V7-4657]
• In the AIAG/VDA-Editor and in the AIAG/VDA-MSR-Editor there are two new display options Show Info-Icons” and “Show Note-Icons” with which it is possible to activate or deactivate the additional information or note icons. [V7-5476]
• If the display option is active, the reference language is now also displayed for symbolic deadlines. [V7-5978]

IQ Explorer:

• IQ-Explorer: a new button is now available which opens the Quality Rules dialog. [V7-5507]
• Using the administration data it is now possible to search for content in the management reports. [V7-5952]

Only with Maintenance License:

• The dialog “Select Command…” now also lists the last commands used (list size can be changed via context menu). Furthermore, it is now possible to define favourites (also via context menu). The favorites are saved when the software is closed and can be used across editors. [V7-4982]
• The background colour of objects can now be changed via the toolbar and context menu for hot-click icons (object type). [V7-5835]

The following bugs have been fixed with this service pack:
V7-5396, V7-5495, V7-5582, V7-5649, V7-5825, V7-5876

Current Version Service Packs

Service pack Version 7.0 – 0100 is available now. For installation information, new features and fixed bugs see the list below.

General:

• There are now two new Quality Rules:
  1. (Not rejected) action groups without O but with D ratings.
  2. (Not rejected) action groups without D but with O ratings. [V7-2505]
• The customization now allows you to show or hide the Variants Matrix editor and Variants Transition Matrix editor in the Editor toolbar. [V7-4427]
• You can now choose a decimal representation for displaying the “IQ object ID” (Workstation settings | System optimization | Other). [V7-4513]
• Auto complete can now be activated/deactivated specifically for the current application in the input menu of the Input collector. [V7-5338]
• If the input collector had larger lists, entered characters could get lost, while the suggestion list is being opened. This is fixed. [V7-5489]

Editors:

• In the header data of the FMEA form (FMEA form and AIAG/VDA Form), there is now an additional field for the description of the Scope of the FMEA. This field enables the user to add text in case no FMEA Scope has been created. [V7-1891, V7-5244]
• In the net editors as well as the structure tree, you can now target just the next level when unfolding. This is done by clicking on the plus icon while the Ctrl key is pressed.  [V7-2074]
• Filtering in the user-defined view: if cause and effect columns are shown for failures, functions and characteristics, then these can now be modeled as a separate filter level (see function and failure nets). This may change the results of existing filters. [V7-3296]
• Improvements to Management-Report:
  1. Reports/components can now be shown on the left or right hand side (View | Format | Layout).
  2. Double-clicking on a report opens its properties dialog.
  3. You can select the data for analyses for each report by clicking on the new “Administration” icon in the toolbar.
  [V7-3800]
• FMEDA Forms Editor: In the dialog to “Determine component type and FIT value“, any values selected or entered will remain when changing to a different strategy or component, as long as the variable type and variable name correspond to each other. [V7-5232]
• In Deadline Editor columns for “AP Initial State” and “AP Actual” are now also displayed. [V7-5311]
• After entering an inspection equipment and subsequently entering e.g. a sample size, the selection in the table was lost. This is fixed. [V7-5353]

Analysis Desktop:

• Editor “Project Status“: A direct export of the table in Excel format is now possible using the menu command “File | Export | Excel file“. [V7-5425]

CARM Server:

• The CSS modules access rights have been extended to include “Change module” right: in the properties dialog all values can be changed. This functionality requires the CARM-Server V5.7 – 0050 or newer.Note: If this right is set, IQ versions before V7.0 – 0090 will interpret this as “no rights“. [V7-5239]
• When comparing modules, the changes to the module itself (such as name or notes) are now determined and displayed as well. [V7-5276]

FMEA Forms Editor:

• When editing a deadline in the Form via the drop-down arrow, a calendar dialog appears. Selecting a date in this calendar immediately creates an entry. Previously this was only possible in the editing area. [V7-5185]
• Starting from Version 7.0 – 0090 onwards, the default layout in the FMEA Form Editor is the “VDA 2019 (AIAG/VDA)“.
  Note:
  When opening older FME documents, it may happen that no AP catalogs are set. This may lead to the AP column being empty. AP catalogs can be imported into these documents from the template file via: “Tools | Read template“. [V7-5217]

AIAG/VDA Forms Editor:

• The two fields “Cross Functional Team” and “Process responsibility” in the header data can be filled using the list of persons. [V7-4697]
• The number of ‘>’ indicates whether it is a direct effect/cause (no ‘>’ are shown) or a top effect/base cause (‘>>’). All other effects/causes are shown with ‘>’. [V7-4989]

Consolidation:

• You can now “Show column names” via the display options in the view “Full list of differences“. [V7-5189]

Only with Maintenance License:

• The “hanging scrolling” functionality found in the form editor can now also be found in the function and failure net editors (see view menu). [V7-4667]

The following bugs have been fixed with this service pack:
V7-4835, V7-5001, V7-5186, V7-5216, V7-5372, V7-5376, V7-5439, V7-5483, V7-5502, V7-5554

How can the CARM-Server help you?
(https://www.apis-iq.com/software/solutions/#carm-server)

Post covering the CARM Server:
(https://www.apis-iq.com/2018/the-carm-server/)

General

[x] CARM-114: When transferring a module, the user logged into the IQ-Software is recorded in the data of the „last modification“.

[x] CARM-130: A new setting, available in the CARM Server settings, prevents non-administrator users from deleting certificates: „Only the CARM Server administrator is allowed to delete certificates“. When CSS Module Access Rights are active, a user with all access rights can usually manage certificates. This setting prevents that.

This feature is only available if using IQ-Software Version 6.5 – 0190 or newer.
