I know everyone has been waiting for the print facilities. I’m finally happy with it. Let me know how you like it. Compline members can use it now. Others can get a sample here: http://compline.staging.wpengine.com/features/new-printing-facilities/
Here’s the release scoop:
Print:will create a three page PDF which you can print or email. It includes the Riskscreen on the first page; the expanded X-Mod History and X-Mod Trend Graphs and explanatory paragraphs on the 2nd page; and the Rate Analysis Report and an explanation on the 3rd. This is our new basic report.
Presentation Print: will create a much longer report suitable for clients. It will also be a PDF so you can mail it or print it or whatever. Here are its pages (and you get to choose which you want when you print and can set a standard).
  • Cover page containing personalized client contact data, your logo and your contact information
  • Riskscreen page
  • Risk Page containing the expanded graphs + interpretive explanation
  • Rate Analysis Report + interpretive explanation
  • Whatever number of pages containing (3 each) of the class code histogram and associated data for each class
  • The Cal/OSHA Case summary if it applies.
  • A blank end page.
  • All pages have your name and contact info and our copyright.
Printing (air print) from Smart Phones and Devices: We have increased support for printing from smart phones and devices such as iPad, iPhone and various Android devices including tablets. WHAT’S REALLY COOL is being able to sit in your prospects’ office and email him the customized presentation print as a PDF so you can discuss it together. iPads and iPhones work great using the free Adobe App. HOWEVER, different Android devices and apps respond differently to receiving and handling a PDF download. Compline suggests using the FREE Adobe App, which works great on the devices we tested. This is what we will be showing in the webcast. We have tested pretty much on Android devices with current operating systems using Adobe’s App and found a few anomalies on older devices.
Rate Analysis Report Upgrades (Suggestions Taken-Thanks)
  • Colors are being organized a little better for clarity
  • Most Requested: Updating the labels to reflect these are Pure Premium Rates
  • We are correcting the alignment for rate displays
  • We are updating the X-Mod Display to make it like the Riskscreen
  • Your Logo Is Being added when you Print
Very Updated Class Rate Histograms: There are two new styles of graphics for the class histograms associated with the class codes accessed by clicking on the class codes on the Riskscreen. We upgraded the bar chart which shows – as most of you already know – the historical rate history for the class as well as various manual designations and other cross references. In addition there is a NEW choice which is a trend graphic accessed from the little orange button at the top.
The rest of the changes are mostly functional and don’t require long explanations.
General Information & User Trends
1. We have scheduled a FREE webcast for training and features. It is free to both Compline and non-Compline users. It will be conducted once live and replayed at least twice. It does require registration. We strongly recommend everyone attend.
2. Android devices- We have found in general that using the FireFox browser provides a more reliable experience overall.
3. We have had an uptick in standard Risklists, Calclists, and some unique marketing list orders. We can do anything with the database you can think up. Contact Sales at helpdesk@compline.com or call him direct at 916-786-0311.
4. We have been inundated with orders for Compline. Thank you. We have been able to stay current getting organizations up and running and are catching up processing credit cards and depositing checks. It’s an awful nice administrative problem to have and we are grateful to everyone.
5. Rinse. Repeat. Wash. Does anyone read this far?
