| • | NEW: A new tab will allow the mails to be parameterized by reading data from a data source. This data source can be : |
| • | NEW: A combobox will allow the user to select which data source to use. Suitable parameters will allow you to set the user id, the password and the database parameters to access the required database. |
| • | NEW: A sql syntax field allows the user to enter a valid sql query to be run against the selected database. |
| • | NEW: A 'Database - View database data' menu option will allow the user to preview the selected data - a button is conveniently places next to the entry field of the sql syntax, to view whether the sql will yield the correct result. |
| • | NEW: When sending each mail, the name of the columns of the data source can be used inside the selected skeleton as regular StepVar : e.g. if you perform a 'select name, address, city from Customers where YearSubscription = 2011', than the StepVar's {name}, {address} and {city} can be used inside the selected skeleton to customize or personalize each mail. The result set or data source should contain a field called 'email' which will be used as mail address the mail is send to. When pre-viewing the result set, the column with the 'email' values is highlighted. |
| • | CHANGED: The result lists at the bottom of the screen have been re-arranges into a more logical position. Each area has received a caption. |
| • | CHANGED: The result of the send command for the different mails is greatly reduced into a more logical and comprehensive format. |
| • | CHANGED: When more that one mail command is started, a divider line is drawn in the log list to clearly identify each run. |
| • | CHANGED: Invalid email addressed or mail address of failed mail attempts, will be correctly listed into the 'Failed email address' list. |
| • | NEW: The pause between sending two mails will now be read from the new parameter of the StepParms version 5 settings. When set to a value other than 0, the number of seconds entered in this field will be waited before sending the next mail. The pause is shown ( in milliseconds in the caption of the program form ). |
