RE: changing BS format



Hi Tari:
 
Ballot Station documentation has been produced for certification purposes, however, it will not be
officially released until the firmware has been approved. (Very soon, we hope!)
 
The new documentation describes changes in the firmware to version 4.3.8. The documents
have been produced with Track Changes (change bars) on, a requirement for certification purposes,
however, I can create unofficial copies with change bars off, if need be. Please let me know.

Can I give the doc to the customer - after I read it of course?  or is it still internal?

Yeah, I know what you mean.  And I do apologize for all the changes.  I know it is trying.  But we are trying to make the software better, and it’s kind of a necessary evil.  We really didn’t think much of the button move when we made it – but we probably could have done a better job at the heads up.  In our defense, all these changes are in the documentation.

I understand - just wished a little more warning was given and maybe some input from the field - 

sorry for the tirade -  but I hate surprises in the field and then having to go back and tell them "we have a newer latest and greatest "  and it may not be the last - we may be updating you on the day before the election...

know what I mean

Thanks

Tari

There were significant changes between version  4.1 and version 4.3.  News at 11.

not in 3-7-

in 4-1 versions up to 11 it was at top of list in test count and in 4-3-7 it is not there- there is no view ballot button at all - only the 3 diferent l & a buttons -  there is a test count button at the top that when you push it way downin the lower left corner a new by ballot button appears and if you push it the old create voter card on the bottom right changes to view ballot

 

quite a significant change when the top button has been view ballot in the 4.0 and 4.1 series

I don’t follow you.  Can you please explain the problem?  The button was moved to the test count section, which makes a lot of sense.  What of that?

who made the decision to lose /move the view ballot option in the test count section.  This may be a nice touch but imagine loading it up at a customer site and trying to view the ballots only to find the button gone -  now that it is loaded - only  5 machines I can go back tomorrow and load all 80 withthe new BS software that to my knowlege isn't tested - in an election I have run anyway - and all for the sake of audio files  

something seems wrong with this picture
