XLW addin for Excel
Description
PLEASE NOTE: XLW is a Wrap creation tool and an account with our sister company ExcelWraps.com is required to deploy the wrap to users.
XLW empowers Excel users to create innovative online forms called Wraps, not Apps, because they are simply Excel workbooks wrapped in our transformational technology. Wraps respond immediately, just like a spreadsheet, but also include ‘beyond’ Excel features like digital signatures, media uploads, GPS mapping, barcode/QR code generation and all the controls you would expect in the best modern apps. We provide a website to deploy wraps and we support any device (PC, tablet or smartphone). Remote users login to the site where information gathered in wraps is immediately available in 'MyWraps' reports with zooming charts. Sensitive information is restricted by assigning user roles. We take care of hosting, site security and data backups. We support our clients directly at their desktops using remote access tools ensuring that anyone can harness our technology immediately and without the support of IT professionals.
Online Forms Solution - Replicate any existing paper forms and launch as enterprise applications on PCs, tablets and smartphones. Ideal for time sheets, task management, workflow, incident reporting, safety assessments, compliance, site inspections, supply line management, audits, inventory processing… etc. We offer a future with no paperwork, no lost forms, no undecipherable scribbles, no unidentifiable signatures, no photocopying, no duplicate errors, no filing and immediate access to the data you have collected.
Visit ExcelWraps.com for more information and follow the online help and tutorials.

Increase maximum Wrap Media Upload file size to 64MB to support video file uploads at a client's request. Introduction of Fair Usage Policy ExcelWraps user charge assumes that an average user requires 2GB of file storage i.e. a 50 user system is contained within 100GB. Typically Wrap data storage is extremely compact and this limit is unlikely to be exceeded. However some Client's may require larger file storage capabilities and in these circumstances MoreVision will provide additional space for an additional monthly cost.

Upgrade to latest release of CMS 1.10.2.
Simplification of site controls and dashboard for AdminTenant to provide protection against possible corruption. Management of some CMS features can now only be undertaken by Administrators including Roles, Modules, Site Settings, Themes, WorkFlows, Import/Export, Spam Controls, Custom Forms, Queries, Content Definition, Widgets, Tenants and Reports. Please note that AdminTenant's still retain permission for Wrap Import/Export Wrap and MyWraps reports.
User 'Creation Time' and 'Last Login Time' now available on the 'User' menu on the site dashboard.
Configurable password controls added - Password must contain at least one lower case letter (a-z); Password must contain at least one upper case letter (A-Z); Password must contain at least one number (0-9); Password must contain at least one special character (e.g. !@#$%^&*(){}[].); Set Minimum Password length; Set Password expiration (30 days by default); Set Password format (hashed or encrypted);
Support for users without email address - Many organisations do not supply all their staff with email addresses which is required for our 'Lost Your Password' routine. We have devised an alternative method which requires the support of site Administrators to reset user passwords and pass it onto users with no email address. When the user first logs in with the administrator's reset password the user is forced to reset the password to one of his own. This ensures that only the user ever knows his own passwords and digital signatures cannot be falsely obtained.
Set site lockout after failed attempts to login (15 minute lockout after 4 failed login attempts).
Configurable session timeout after a period of inactivity (default 15 minutes). Re-direction to login page after session timeout.
All client data removed permanently from developer machines (now only on ISO27001 compliant secure servers).

Wraplinks do not automatically update if the wrap state is 'frozen' which could trigger a recalculation and an error warning that you cannot change a frozen wrap instance.
Option to use non-minimised javascript to assist developers with wrap debugging.
Comment feature now has simpler interface.
MyWraps Aggregate AVERAGE function now ignores null values (the same behaviour as Excel's AVERAGE function).
