The primary focus of version 4.5, our Client/Server software is up to 88% faster than previous versions (some of our 4.5 customers report areas which are 2-10 times faster than previous versions). Some areas of improvement include the speed with which you can visit, open views (entry views and listing views), post, switch users, and enter data.
Correct data entry mistakes faster by using the Undo command. Undo support is now available for numerous operations throughout Helix Express.
Provides control over which page a rectangle will appear. Select from visibility on the first page, last page, and/or interior pages.
Now you can build a report where the first page of a three page invoice can contain header information, the second page would not display the header, and the last page (and only the last page) can display a grand total.
Select one button on your View to act as the default button--pressing the enter key will trigger the sequence within this button. Combined with the conditional button and conditional sequence features, you can control exactly what will happen when the user presses the enter key.
Now included at no extra charge, AEEA permits you to use AppleEvents to store, retrieve, and delete data from a Helix Collection.
Combined with AEEA, UserLand's Frontier scripting environment will allow you to build powerful scripts with which you can store and retrieve data in a Helix Collection, work with other AppleEvent and AppleScript compliant applications, and even build large world wide web sites. Frontier includes well-established links to the Internet via e-mail applications, ftp applications, and world wide web servers. Included with Helix Express 4.5 are a set of Helix-related Frontier scripts to help you get started.
The Helix Utility has been optimized to perform the Data Damage Check 20% faster than previous versions. The new Utility also includes automatic record fixing to provide even more powerful diagnostic and repair capabilities for your database.
New location for temporary files--by default, the Recover File and Helix Data file is now located in the invisible Temporary Items folder. Now these files won't be left behind should Helix terminate unexpectedly.
The User command is now available in the Sequence
Enhanced Zoom behavior--the zoom behavior in Helix now functions more like that of the Finder. Windows will zoom to their most natural size and position.
New Client Info Window refresh--if you leave the Client Info window open, it will refresh automatically every three minutes (this default can be changed).
New View By... default behavior--a new Relation will take on the View By mode (View By Icon, View By Text, or View by Kind) of the Collection window.
