| What's New in Tracker 7.0 |
 | ||
| Provides an automated capability to export Tracker data from a server, such as a Licensing installation, and import the data in a different server, such as a Customs or Enforcement installation. The data transfer is configurable to a specific day and time, can be automatically recurring or can be performed on demand, and allows the defining of data criteria or filters to limit the scope of data to be transferred. | ||
 | ||
| Tracker 7.0 includes a new browser application interface to serve as a Case Management Tool, allowing for the creation of new cases and their processing (assignments, reviews, decisions), as well as the generation of licenses and related documents. | ||
 | ||
| Provides a complete set of relationships between all the major data entities that users work with, including parties, products, items, locations, and license applications. | ||
 | ||
| Tracker 7.0 contains a Custom Data Field (CDF) facility, which allows users with appropriate system permissions to create new data fields for Cases, Items, Parties, and Locations. The new fields are displayable in both the traditional Tracker client application and the new Case Management Tool. CDFs are localizable, and are available on Tracker reports. | ||
 | ||
| Provides a capability for viewing and entering case data using simplified layouts containing only those fields that are relevant for Customs processing purposes. This includes the addition of several new fields to the Tracker domain data, including Tarriff Code, Means of Transportation, Shipment and Transportation Information, and even Route of Transportation. | ||
 | ||
| Allows users to appropriately label and view metadata - how, when and by whom a particular set of data was collected - about the information going out of and coming into Tracker systems (via data import or export), as well as keep track of the origin of certain information once in the system. | ||
 | ||
| Introduces a notification capability, which supports countries that closely coordinate their licensing decisions. When license applications are given a final decision, the Tracker system can generate a notification containing succinct information about the parties and products involved. Tracker users are able to export the notifications into XML or PDF formats for exchange with other organizations or even other countries. | ||
 | ||
| Improves the document storage method in Tracker so that the use of file systems or document management systems may be used in conjunction with Tracker. | ||
 | ||
| Provides the ability for Customs officials to acknowledge Delivery Verification Certificates when goods are crossing borders. Customizable default acknowledgement text can be used, with additional comments added as necessary. | ||
 | ||
| The Tracker 7.0 Case Management Tool provides context-sensitive Help. The new help system is localizable in any ISO language. | ||
 | ||
| The Tracker 7.0 system contains a configurable link to a Commodity Search Tool (CST). CST will aid Tracker users in classifying or verifying the classification of commodities based on Export Control Number (ECN), Harmonized System (HS) Tariff Code or other control list numbers such as a National Control List (NCL). | ||
 | ||
| Provides the capability to reconcile information, allowing Tracker users to match incoming data (via data import or manual data entry) to data already existing in the system. | ||
 | ||
| Tracker 7.0 has switched to relational database technologies, specifically supporting the MySQL Community Edition. Tracker 7 removes support for the Versant database - using industry-standard tXML, existing Tracker installations will be able to easily migrate Tracker data to MySQL. | ||
 | ||
| Provides support for capturing shipment data, specifically subtracting volume or quantity amounts from license data, as shipments are logged by Customs officials at border points. This shipment data is part of a new Shipments capability within the Tracker system. | ||
 | ||
| The Tracker Case Management Tool contains a localization editor feature. Accessible in context by clicking on display labels within the browser application, the editor allows for in place localization. Alternatively the application provides a list format showing all localizable text within the Tracker system, in conjunction with access to the localization editor. | ||
 | ||
| Windows Server 2008 and Red Hat Enterprise Server 5 are supported platforms for the server-side components of the Tracker system. Support continues for Windows Vista and XP Clients. | ||
