TOPIC: SOSET order entry and typeset combination can now automatically send a proof of a stamp-design
SOSET order entry and typeset combination can now automatically send a proof of a stamp-design
In the customer-group and the customer-data screen you will find the option: 'Send proof'. The setting is copied into each order. If this setting has been checked, SOSET will automatically send a proof of the stamp as soon as the status is changed into 'Corrected'. The (typeset-) status is changed into: 'Proof' and the order-item is on hold. Also, if the (typeset-) status is changed into 'Proof' manually, an e-mail or fax will be generated. If the e-mail field is specified SOSET will send the JPEG-image by e-mail, otherwise the proof is faxed.
Note: this option requires support for the fax and e-mail option.

Copying SOSET files from CD-ROM to Harddisk
When copying files from CD-ROM to harddisk please note that those files are READ ONLY. In order to prevent SOSET errors, you should remove this attribute. This is done by opening the Explorer, select all copied files and/or directories (or go to the Edit menu> select all) in the right window of the Explorer, then rightclick (or go to the File menu> properties) and view the properties of the files and/or directories. Then uncheck the Read-only Attribute. Click OK.

TOPIC: Correct statistical data from query on SOSET files
Correct statistical data from query on SOSET files
SOSET tables contain a lot of information. Some of these are for technical reasons, others for retrieving only. The best way to get information out of the SOSET tables is to use the report options from the various menus. Analysis with the query options offer a lot of flexibility, but might confuse if not correctly specified. There is e.g. some confusion about the CustGrp field in the OrderItem table. This field is used to get the correct link between the product table and order entry and typeset.
It is very likely that the information product in the orderitem has a customer-group stored in the orderitem different from the customer. This is done for TECHNICAL reasons. However during postings to the history table the customergroup as specified in the customer-file is copied. This is done to get correct statistical information.
Be advised that you use the history-table ONLY, if you want to retrieve statistical data. Contact our customer-support at support@namosoft.nl for further help. With the latest version of NamoUtil we can prepare customized queries for your specific needs.

TOPIC: SOSET Client/Server version.
SOSET Client/Server version.
For heavy duty environments we recommend  the SOSET Client/Server version.The definition of "Client/server", two computers having inherent intelligence are networked or inter-connected.Each computer runs a distinct portion of the same application. The result being that one computer, the "Server", provides a service to the other, the "Client".In SOSET terms this means that all SOSET programs and tables are opened and used by a server, which in turn provides the requested data to the client.In return the client (workstation) only sends a command with data to the server to perform the required action.This can dramatically decrease the network traffic.*(Only for Windows XP environment. A surcharge is applicable; refer to pricelist (pricelist) for pricing.)

Improved payment method.
This change will increase security and optimise the efficiency of our payment process.
Instead of charging your credit-card by us, you will receive a link to perform the payments yourself.
This "Pay-per-Link" will improve security. You decide what payment-option is conveniant for you. We, from our side, no longer need to keep your credit-card data on file.
More information to follow.

New pricing
After several years of stability, we have increased the prices of the SOSET software licenses.
The initial and upgrade fee, however, has lowered pricing now.

On our website you will find the pricelist effective January 1 2016.
Only new and renewed SOSET license agreements will be charged accordingly. As long as your 3 year term has not ended, the old price will maintain.
If you expect your term to end soon, then we offer you the option to renew and/or upgrade before the end of the year against the old pricing.

New versions ahead
We constantly maintain SOSET to work fine at the various Windows platforms, including Windows10. At this moment we are in the process of re-designing and refreshing the user-interfaces of the SOSET software.
There will be a more efficient use of larger displays. The core of the software however, will remain to keep its great stability and reliabilty.
Mid 2016 we expect to launch new versions of the SOSET software.
