Build Number: 4 STD*MIS 5.0 Pre-release is a "work-in-progress" version of the upcoming 5.0 system. It is distributed solely for the purpose of gathering feedback and comments on new and updated features in the 5.0 system. Before downloading and installing the pre-release software, carefully read the list of questions and answers below. How do I acquire and install the pre-release software?
How do I access the system? Start the system by using Windows Explorer to navigate to the 5.0 folder and double-click on the file labeled StdMis.exe. Once the system starts, log in using a user id and password of STD and STD respectively. How do I know what's been changed and what hasn't? Included with the pre-release version is a file called Overview.pdf. This document gives an overview of the changes to the system and explains in broad terms how version 5.0 differs from previous releases of STD*MIS. In addition, there are several other .pdf files that contain example workflows that demonstrate new and updated features of the system. Each workflow will list what steps to follow within the system to access the new features and will contain information about the new features being demonstrated. What happens if I don't follow the scenario? Because the system is still in development, many parts of it do not function properly. Failing to follow the scenarios exactly could result in a system crash of some sort or other. These crashes are nothing be concerned about but sticking with the scenarios will help minimize them. Do I have to provide my own data? No, 5.0 Pre-release software comes complete with its own test database. Since the new features in STD*MIS 5.0 have required changes in the database structure, database files from previous versions of STD*MIS will not work in the 5.0 environment. What kind of feedback are you looking for? At this stage in development, we are most interested in feedback regarding the usability and usefulness of the new and updated features. We are less interested in technical issues (screen prompt doesn't display properly, colors aren't right, etc.) and more interested in general business functionality. For example:
Where and how should I send my feedback? The best method of reporting your comments and impressions is by email to your STD*MIS Support Person. If possible, try to consolidate all your comments in a single email, rather than doing it piece-meal. How can I get the STD*MIS 5.0 Pre-release system? Download 50PreRel.zip. *Direct questions to the STD*MIS Support Team at 404-639-8356. |
