September 12, 2005—Digital Facilities Corporation (DFC), a leading provider of roofing asset management software, has released version 4.1 of its RoofPro asset management program. New features of RoofPro 4.1 include a completely redesigned database; a new Explorer and Outlook based Graphics User Interface (GUI); an expanded roof section summary page; and a roof condition index, the company says.
Both software and online service versions of RoofPro 4.1 will continue to offer enhanced wizards, a report writer based on Crystal Reports, improved SmartList and SmartText editors, and a PDF report generator. RoofPro 4.1 also has improved program tools designed to accept electronic inspections from RoofPro Inspector, a new program also being released this quarter.
Version 4.1s new GUI gives RoofPro a drill down capability and new look that hides information not being accessed so that the user can focus instead on the selected information, says the company. A pop-out shortcut bar provides a quick and easy way to access specific information, and can be pinned to the screen for easy access. A paper clip beside a client, facility or roof section alerts users to attached files, while a red flag indicator alerts users to outstanding tasks.
Other enhancements found in RoofPro 4.1 include a redesigned database which includes a new report library design for easier management of reports. The new database also provides improved data integrity with less potential for data corruption. In addition, RoofPro 4.1 offers numerous new fields to the roof section summary page, a roof condition index based on the findings of the US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, and a back up and restore option.
