New Things in Version 2.0!
 

So, what's new in Quest v2.0? Check this out

 

Application
The Application has been entirely rewritten from the ground up. Why do that? Because there were too many features in Java that could not be exploited in previous versions due to low client performance. This version of Quest requires a faster processor and more memory, but still not as much as a Notes Client, and definetly not as much as a Notes Server. I know you die hards out there will go into Task Manager or something to see how much memory Quest is using vs. Notes Client, but remember in your comparisons that the Notes Client has 4 different processes, not just nlnotes.exe.

 

Bookmarks
Want to bookmark Documents? What about Products, Questions, Actions, Web Pages etc.. You can with the new Bookmark functionality. You can create bookmarks just like you do in your favoriate Web Browser. You can organize your bookmarks and use them in certain places. For example, let's say you have a new product announcement coming up next week. You have created 300 new products in Quest. Now you have 30 documents that apply to them. Bookmark those products and go edit one of the documents. If you want to associate your new products, just click on 'Machine/Model' and click on 'Bookmarks'. You can then pick and choose from your customized bookmarks instead of painfully searching for the products!

You can also bookmark Questions, Actions, Symptoms, Links, Link Groups, Documents, Products and Web Pages.

 

Custom Views
Remember the Custom Queries of the Quest v1.x. Well those have been completely erased and the Custom Views have taken over. These enhanced 'Custom Queries' can be Created, Edited, Deleted and Tested very easily. Wizards guide you through the creation of the views. For you document people: You can now add Brand/Family to your custom queries.

 

Online Help
The Online Help for Quest is now available and ready to answer every question. Before going to someone else check the Help! The new Help has sections on 'How Tos', 'See Also' and many more. Access it anywhere in the application from the toolbar button that says 'Help'.

 

Customizations
The customizations of the original Quest have been taken a step further. You can now customize the Toolbar, Look, Feel and Fonts in Quest. Click on 'File', 'Properties', 'Application' to see.

 

Printing
Printing is now supported. Go grab your favorite list of documents or products or whatever and try it out! I know this question will be asked so I'll answer it now. You must have a printer configured on your local system for Quest to print. There is no magical printing being done.
