A new Notify button has been added to the OSC tab of the ASAP Properties
window. This button displays the new Notify control panel. See Notify Button on
page 5-22.

A new Set Password button has been added to the General tab of the ASAP
Properties window. This button displays a dialog that allows you to password
protect various property sheets (and lock functions) in the ASAP environment. See
Set Password Button on page 5-10.
•
There are new ways to save or e-mail ASAP data in HTML format. New pull-down
menus, FILE SAVE HTML and FILE SAVE HTML AS, allow statistics to be saved,
displayed, and mailed in color-coded HTML format.
•
A new pull-down menu item, EDIT COPY HTML, allows ASAP statistics to be
copied to the clipboard in color-coded HTML format.
•
The Client provides several new ways to automatically download and compile
server EDL files. In the main client browse window, there is a new pull-down menu
item - FILE COMPILE SERVER EDL. In the EDL IDE window, there is a new pull-
down menu item - FILE DOWNLOAD SERVER EDL. See Compile Server EDL on
page 4-17.
•
A new EDL synchronization dialog box automatically appears whenever an EDL
version mismatch appears, allowing automatic EDL version synchronization.
•
There is a new Auto Restart Session check box on the SSG tab of the ASAP
Properties window. When checked, the ASAP client now automatically restarts
failed host sessions. See Auto Restart Session Check Box on page 5-32.
•
A new Dashboard menu item has been added to the Browse window View menu.
This new function allows you to save or display user-defined dashboards. A
dashboard can contain a variety of graphs. As you define more dashboards, this
menu grows dynamically, retaining each of your named dashboards. When the
client is shut-down, graphic elements and associated properties are retained and
upon startup are restored and become active elements once again. See View
Menu Items on page 4-20.
•
Graph Type is a new menu item on Dashboard graph windows. To select Graph
Type, right-click on an existing dashboard graph and then select the Graph Type
menu item to display a list of different graph types. Selecting one of these graph
types changes the display accordingly. Upon shutdown, graph type is retained
along with other window position, size, samples, minimum state, and dashboard
node, entity, and object properties. Different dashboard graphs can have different
graph types.

A new base type was added to DataItems - EDL Entity Property on page 6-12.
