Release Notes: RAPIX Integrator Version 11

Changes in RAPIX Integrator Version 11.0

RAPIX Integrator version 11 is a major new release.

Major new functions in this release are significantly improved floor plan support, and support for configuring the new RAPIX Facilities software.

The sections below detail some of the new features and capabilities.

Configuration for RAPIX Facilities

The configuration for RAPIX Facilities is performed in RAPIX Integrator. This allows RAPIX Facilities to use all of the information that exists in the RAPIX Integrator project. The result of this is that very little additional effort is needed in order to be able to use RAPIX Facilities.

Creating RAPIX Facilities Test Schedules

To define test schedules for RAPIX Facilities, select the Schedules tab, then the RAPIX Facilities tab.

The easiest way to create the test schedules is to click on the Auto Build button.

Select the required settings, then click on OK.

Set RAPIX Facilities Email Details

When RAPIX Facilities performs a test, it can email the results to one or more email accounts. To configure the email details, select the Site tab then click on the Edit Email List button.

Enter the details of the email server and the email recipients.

Set RAPIX Facilities User Details

It is useful, but not essential, to add details of companies or people related to managing or maintaining the site. To do this, select the Site tab, then click on the Edit Contact List button. Add contacts as required.

The RAPIX Facilities Form

An alternative way to access the configuration for RAPIX Facilities is to select the Tools menu RAPIX Facilities menu item.

The RAPIX Facilities form contains the same settings as discussed above, but in one convenient location.

Running RAPIX Facilities

The RAPIX Integrator project can be opened in RAPIX Facilities and it will automatically run the scheduled tests and send the results to the configured email addresses. Please refer to the RAPIX Facilities help file for details of installation and operation.
