Crime Free Software Status ReportFebruary 16th, 2014... We released the newest EasyTracking,Version 2014! Complete now with External Web for Landlord Self-Registration! For example, if you have 5,000 People (Landlords, Managers, etc) and Properties in your city, you can have the Landlords/Managers Self-Register and those 5,000 Properties can each enter their information instead of YOU entering 5,000 People and Properties! Massive savings for the Crime Free Coordinators. October 15th, 2011.. We released Build 1153 of Version 2011, which adds "Incident Costs" Tab to the Incident Card. This way you can track/total/list any/all costs associated with a given Incident (how many officers, units, Special costs like SWAT Teams and Items used, all can be easily listed and automatically totaled, so you can expense out any/all given Incidents. This is used by SWAT, Nuisance Abatements, ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) as well as the Crime Free Programs. July 2011.. Awesome Conference in San Diego! Samantha and crew put on a great Conference and EasyTracking received a fantastic response -- our best Conference ever! Thank you!!! It was very fun demonstrating all the new "toys" that EasyTracking has added (thanks to your great ideas!) -- the great feedback and positive comments are awesome to hear... thank you so much! January 2011, We released EasyTracking Version 2011! More enhancements of each of the following Tabs: Transactions, GOAL and Incidents! More great ideas from users to make things better, faster, more useful... awesome group of software users we have here! Thank you all! September, 2010..We release Build 1060, which has GOAL List -- a list of persons who have committed crimes in the city. Managers, using the Web version, can see this list and use it as part of their Resident Screening process. Very helpful tool to verify whether a rental applicant is being truthful in regard to their criminal history. Another useful tool suggested and used by cities! May, 22nd, 2010.. We released Build 1034 ..One of the best/biggest addons yet: "Contact Cards!" Also known as "Incident Cards", now officers can, using the Web Version, type in a easy-to-fill-in Incident Card right from their patrol car! And once they hit "Send" it will show in your database back in the Police Dept, so you can see it at your desk as the Crime Free Coordinator! All of the sudden, you have every police officer being your eyes and ears, and they can easily/quickly send you a quick Note or a more-detailed Incident Card (electronically, no more papers, cards, printing costs, stamp costs, hassles, etc etc). A big improvement over how Contact Cards are typically done and the cities who helped develop it and use it LOVE it! As each NEW cities tries it (with our Free Updates!) they love it as well -- it's just a great improvement and fits all the easy-to-use needs for both the officer in the field and you as a Coordinator. You can also print and email them directly to the Manager and/or Owner, so they know immediately what is going on at their Property. Fast, easy, efficient and a bigtime cost-savings.. Awesome! April 14th, 2010..We released Build 1010.. Another Major Tab is born! The "Transactions Tab" allows you to keep track of Billing Properties (used in some cities for Rental Licenses, Nuisance Abatement, etc.) -- anywhere you need to send Invoices out to Properties and then track the Payments received (and account balances -- who owes what and line items listing why). Another great idea from you! We will add/improve to this over time per your ideas and requests! Keep em coming! Thanks! March 21st, 2010.. We released Build 1005 which added in a "Print All Attendees" button on All Attendees Tab, as well as more new features for ABC -- Alcohol Beverage Control, which some agencies are now using EasyTracking for that purpose -- since it is essentially the same need: Tracking all Properties that sell Alcohol: Bars, Restaurants, Stores, Pubs, etc. Many of the same features, tracking addresses, emails, notes, photos, dates, inspections, etc. that are some in Crime Free are also done in ABC. We will keep adding in some specific features for ABC in addition to our Crime Free to-do list! Thanks for all the great ideas you are sending! It's what makes this software great -- because YOU are telling us what the Real World needs are! Thanks again! February 23rd, 2010.. We released EasyTracking Version 2010! We have added several small enhancements and a couple small bug fixes. Enjoy the new release and thank you for all the nice email and phone calls recently... it's very very appreciated! Our goal is to have happy software clients! Thank you!!! February 3rd, 2010... We released Build 959, which adds a "Export to Excel" button in the Stats Tab of any Property. Now you can easily export this Stats information into Excel, in case you want to make charts, etc. with it. More easy ways to do useful things! January 19th, 2010... Released Build 958, which has a Crime Free Signs column added to the List of All Properties report. This allows you to easily tabulate which Properties have how many signs and to control your Crime Free Signs inventory! December 16th, 2009.... Released Build 957, which has a new, improved List of Properties SEARCH method, allowing you to search Property Names by ANY part of their name, rather than just "starting with". This new search method allows for a broader, more comprehensive search. We also fixed a few small bugs, including the Beat dropdown on Prop Info Tab. July 5th, 2009... Wow! Kansas City! The 2009 Annual Conference for the International Crime Free Association was fantastic! We had our best response ever! We were able to meet many current users and many potential new users of EasyTracking! I want to personally thank all the current users who came to our classes at the Conference and said some VERY nice things about EasyTracking! Compliments ALWAYS means more when they come from current users of the software -- they tell it like it is, and this year especially we heard some fantastic ideas and compliments and "we use it for this reason and it helps us tremendously!" type of comments. I am very, very grateful for the people that showed up and spread the word.... thank you, thank you, thank you! May 17th, 2009... EasyTracking 2009 is here! We have many new features, new Violation Tab, many bug fixes, many improved/simplified areas of the program, and we have incorporated several of your ideas and suggestions! Thanks to ALL who contributed to improving EasyTracking! Our goal over the last 13 years with this software is to continue to make EasyTracking more useful, easier to use and to have it help you save time, money and your sanity! April 15th, 2009... We are running trial versions in several cities now for the 2009 Version of EasyTracking, which features the brand new Violations Tab. Here you can track specific violations per person, per apartment, per property, and have a one-click button to find out instantly who has more than 3 violations per 12-month period. You can see which properties have violations, see which people have the most violations, etc. It's a very helpful tool to combat repeat violations on a person, property over any period of time. The new version is scheduled for FULL release May 15th, and based on how well the trials are going, should be out on schedule, perhaps even earlier. December 15th, 2008.. We are in the final stages of preparing the install/update packages for the 2009 version of EasyTracking. This newest version has many small bug fixes and many new features and improvements, as well as the brand new Violations Tab! We are looking forward to sharing this significant addition (updates are always free/included at no charge to EasyTracking Users who are in their first two years or are subscribers for free updates/free training/free help). August 1st, 2008.. What a wonderful Conference!!!! The folks in Surrey sure know how to put on a top-notch Conference!!! Thanks to all who attended our EasyTracking Classes (we got to see many old, familiar friends and clients, as well as meet many wonderful new people!). The International Crime Free Family just keeps growing and getting better all the time! May 15th, 2008 ... We released Build 807 in preparation for the 2008 International Crime Free Conference in Surry, British Columbia, Canada. Feb 3rd, 2008... We released EasyTracking 2008! We've added some cool effects, fixed some bugs, and are almost done with the WEB version of the Violations Tab. As always, these are FREE updates to our current users, and if you need help with upgrading, please call us and we'll help you get upgraded quickly and easily. Oct 7th, 2007... We released Build 709, which has a few tweaks and small bug fixes we've noticed... also we're working on a "Violations Tab"... which will let you track individual Violations for each Property... some cities have a city policy "If you have 3 Violations in a 12-Month Time Period, then..." Soon EasyTracking™ will make it very easy for you to track those Violations and EasyTracking™ can calculate and display which Properties, which People/Violators have accumulated 3 violations in 12 months (or any N violations in X months)... you can customize it to whatever your city's code or police Department policy is....we should have this done by mid December if not sooner. Sept 30th, 2007... We released Build 706, which added a key feature to both the EasyTracking Windows and EasyTracking WEB versions: We added in a "Property Access Information" grid to the main Property Info Tab. This will allow you to store Gate Codes, Knox Box codes, any access codes to any gates, locks, entrances you may wish to store for a given Apartment/Property. Combined with the EasyTracking WEB version, now anyone in your Police Dept computer network (Dispatch, Police Cars, etc) can view this Gate/Code information at any time, 24/7/365, just as they can view other EasyTracking information, such as Manager name/phone number, etc. So a Police Car can find out Gate codes at 3am...from your EasyTracking Database, or ask Dispatch to do the same. This EasyTracking WEB can dramatically increase the usefulness of the data you have stored in the Windows version of EasyTracking. Sept 23rd, 2007... We released Build 704, which added several new features and capabilities for your Training Classes screens: 1) You can now see an entire List of ALL Persons trained in ALL Classes -- so that you can easily see if someone has gone thru ANY of your Training Classes in the past. 2) Also, from inside the Manager/Mgmt Co/Owner/Other Names screens, you can send that person's name into any Training Class directly... no more exiting Property, entering Training Classes and then adding that person's name, Property information, etc.... now it can be done directly with a couple mouse clicks -- saves time and typing! 3) We also added a Training Class "Attendee Title"... so that you can classify all people who are attending your Training Classes. That way, you can count how many Managers, how many Owners, etc have attended you classes. Also, you can sort the list to see just the Managers, Owners, Guest Speakers, etc that you have had in your Training Classes. 4) You can now also assign a Training Class / Phase 1 Date for all Class Attendees with one click. This saves you from having to go into each Property and click on the person's name and assign their Training Class / Phase 1 Date. Again, we did this to help you get things done faster and easier. 5) Also, we fixed a couple bugs (the most notable one being: in the Other Names Tab, to be change the Title again). Thanks to those who emailed/called to point that out... that helps us tremendously to find any remaining bugs, so thank you! Sept 5th, 2007... We attended the CCPOA Conference in San Diego and showed our latest EasyTracking and EasyTracking WEB software products. It was a very nicely attended Conference and we ran into many new faces and a lot of CrimeFree people as well! July 20th, 2007... Yet another very nice Crime Free Conference!!! Thanks to Tim Zehring and all the Mesa, AZ crew for putting on a very successful Conference. Once again Mesa put on a fun, enjoyable Conference overall and we were able to meet new people and also got another chance to mix and have a few laughs and spend some good times with a bunch of old friends too!!! And it's always fun to finally meet people who were familiar via our phone installs/trainings in person! Great job guys! July 16th, 2007... We're here in Mesa, AZ, at the International Crime Free Conference! And we're introducing EasyTracking WEB -- an add on software program that when combined with EasyTracking for Windows lets you share your data with anyone within your Police Department Network (including Police Cars if they have Intranet Enabled computers in their cars)!!! Now such information as Manager Names, Phone Numbers, (and soon) Gate/Knox Box codes, Owner Names/Phone Numbers, CTPED information, Notes you have typed in, Trespass information, etc can be seen by anyone inside your Police Department... a dramatic expansion of the usefulness of your Crime Free EasyTracking for Windows information to share with many others in your Police Department!!! May 16th, 2007... Today we released the 2007 Windows Version update of EasyTracking. Several small items were updated, a few bugs fixed, and a new, fresh "look" for the program was unveiled. Most of the work was done "under the hood" to help it work with the upcoming Add-on program EasyTracking Web (the View-only Web Version of EasyTracking) that is in the final stages of testing. Enjoy! May 1st, 2007... We're continuing to make significant progress on the Web Version of EasyTracking, so that you can have others within your Agency have a VIEW-ONLY look at your data. We are currently implementing this Web Version Optional Add-on program within some Cities/Agencies that are also using the standard Windows Version of EasyTracking. The Web/Read-Only version will be ready for the Annual Conference in Mesa, AZ in July. March 1st, 2007... We're making major progress on the Web Version of EasyTracking, so that you can have others within your Agency have a VIEW-ONLY look at your data (for example, Dispatch can see your Crime Free Property information, such as Manager/Owner names/phone numbers, etc. without you having to worry about them editing/changing your data). This new major addon should be ready for display by the Crime Free Conference in Mesa, Az in July. July 21st, 2006... What a wonderful Crime Free Conference!!! Thanks to Laura and all her Albuquerque teammates for putting on a very successful Conference. We once again met new people and also got another chance to see and share some good times with some old friends too!!! It's always fun to finally meet people who were familiar via our phone installs/trainings in person! June 16th, 2006... Today we released Build 575, which improves the Printed Report for the Authorizations Report and also adds the Export to Excel feature to the Authorizations Report. May 5th, 2006... Today we released Build 574, which displays a choice to show or not show multiple Property Addresses on the List of All Properties Report. This allows you to display only the Primary Addresses for your Property List or, if you need to see all the multiple addresses for each property, you can click on "Show Multiple Addresses" checkbox and the List of All Properties will show all the multiple Property Addresses in the Report. April 21st, 2006... Today we released Build 573, which updated the Authorization Letter and added in a customizable comment to it. Now you can add a customized message to the letters...and change it the next time you print them.. "Our next meeting is May 21st" or whatever you want as a custom message for any particular Letter mailing. April 10th, 2006... Today we released Build 572, which added a 2nd page with the Trespass Authorization Letters that has the return address and Owner's name, which then can be folded and used as an mailing alternative to envelopes and labels. April 10th, 2006... Today we released Build 570 & 571, which also put the Property APN# at the bottom of the Trespass Authorization Letters in order to more easily match the Mailing Labels with Authorization Letters when you do Mailings of the Letters and Labels. April 9th, 2006... Today we released Build 569, which put the Property APN# in the Trespass Authorization Letters as well as in the Mailing Labels for Authorization Properties. April 7th, 2006... Today we released Build 568, which prevents the User from accidentally move the Browse location inappropriately on Authorization Letters. March 29th, 2006 ... Today we released Builds 566 and 567, which enhanced the Authorization Tab's "Print Form Letter" functions to now allow you to Print the Generic Form Letter to your property owners and have the letters automatically fill in a custom Title, Address and Phone/Fax/Email contact information inserted into the Authorization based on the Area and Beat where the Property is located. This information is located at the bottom of the Authorization Generic Form Letter so that the Owners can easily know which Police Division (or Area) and which particular Officer is assigned to that Owner's Basic Car (or Beat)... all of this customizing so that your "Generic" letter is actually a very customized, targeted, specific letter to each Owner... helping ensure the Owner can easily contact you and get you the Trespass Authorization that you are seeking from him/her. February 22nd, 2006 ... Today we released Build 565, which modified the Authorization data format in the Generic Form printouts. February 22nd, 2006 ... Today we released Build 564, which fixed 2 small bugs: #1, in the "Insert Pre-defined CPTED Item List" and #2 was in Authorization Labels, the Left Margin needed to be moved over 2 spaces. Sorry for any inconvenience, and thank you for bringing it to our attention! Call us anytime at 877-501-4699 (or 619-421-8227 from outside the USA) for any problems or bugs or anything that we can do to make this software better, easier, faster for you! February 16th, 2006 ... Today we released Build 563, which added New Owner Labels and New Property Management Company Labels to the Authorizations Report. We also added in E-mail Lists of Managers, Management Companies and Owners on the Authorizations Report. We also added in the Export-to-Excel feature so you can export all your Authorization data to an Excel Spreadsheet to enable you to select/modify the data any way you want. February 15th, 2006 ... Today we released Build 562, which added New Manager Labels to the Authorizations Report and fixed a bug in the CPTED Report... sorry for any inconvenience! February 14th, 2006 ... Today we released Build 561, which fixed a bug in the List of All People Report... sorry for any inconvenience! February 1st, 2006 ... Today we released Build 560, which updated the Expiration date to 2/1/2008... this Expiration date keeps all users updated with the newest versions of EasyTracking. 2006 is our 10th year of development and usage of EasyTracking!!! Thanks for your continued use of EasyTracking and we look forward to many years more! January 8th, 2006 -- Today we released Build 559, which changed the Search Field in the List of All People / Companies Report to Search by "Name CONTAINED in the Name Field" versus the former "Name 'Starting With' in the Name Field"... this allows a greater/easier Search for Names/People/Companies in the List of All People / Companies Report. December 28th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 558, which added a two new fields to your Property Tab and fixed a small bug in the List of All Properties Report New Field #1: Property APN (Assessor's Parcel Number/Tax ID number) so you can track your properties by a unique number provided by your local tax assessor. New Field #2: Property ID# so you can track your properties by your own custom unique number. Bug Fix on List of All Properties Report : eliminated an error when double-clicking on a Property in the List of All Properties Report. December 20th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 557, which added a new tab/report and improved two existing Reports New Tab : "Authorizations Tab" -- which is essentially a place to keep track of periodic Reminders / Notices / Authorizations that you may wish to track (such as Trespass Authorizations, etc). Here you can enter the dates that each Property's Authorization was signed and a date when it is due to expire. You can also scan/save the document into your computer and log the file Path to it, so that you can easily locate/display/print that Authorization in the future (instead of rummaging thru files, wondering "where did I put that last year?"). New Report : "Authorizations Report" -- A easy way to see a display of All of your Authorizations and be able to sort and display which Authorizations are over-due or need to be renewed. Instantly see/print a form letter for any/all Properties that need to renew their Authorizations before they expire! All in one simple/easy Report. As with all our Reports, you can also choose to Export this Report to Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, so you can do mail-merge and/or customize the Report Data. Improvement #1 to List of All Properties Report -- Now you can see the City/State/Zip/Postal Code on the Report, so you can Export to Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet and do mail-merge for labels, etc Improvement #1 to List of All People Report -- Now you Create an E-mail List of All People, so you can cut/paste into your E-mail program and send out quick emails to All/Selected Portions of People (Managers, Owners, etc) in your Crime Free Program... all in one new "Create E-mail List" button. Improvement #2 to List of All People Report -- Now you Create an FAX List of All People, so you can cut/paste into your FAX program and send out quick Faxes to All/Selected Portions of People (Managers, Owners, etc) in your Crime Free Program... all in one new "Create FAX List" button. Thanks for the great suggestions, we are happy to add in new features that you find useful...anything to make EasyTracking a more useful tool for tracking your Crime Free Properties!
August 8th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 550, which added new features to two different reports: New Feature #1: Add "Search Title" to List of All Documents Reports New Feature #2: Add "Fax Numbers" to List of All People Reports July 24th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 548, which added in two brand new Reports: New Report #1: List of All Notes.... This Report organizes all your Property Notes into one Easy Report, sorting them by Date, so you can easily see who/when/what order you talked to who...and if you tagged a Follow-up Date to your notes, you can easily see the sorted list of who you need to call back and what date order to call them back... a VERY easy way to stay organized on who and what and when you need to contact Managers, Owners, or anyone! New Report #2: List of All Documents... This Report organized all your Documents (paths/locations of Documents that you have stored on an individual Property) into one easy Report, sorting by the Date you stored them. This way you can easily find a document you have stored without having to remember where/which Property you stored it in. More organization...made Easy! July 20th, 2005... What a fabulous Crime Free Conference!!! Thanks to John Start and all his teammates for putting on a very exciting Conference. For us, this was by far our most successful Conference to date! We met lots of new faces and got to see and share some laughs with some old friends too!!! It's always fun to finally meet people who were familiar via our phone installs/trainings, and now getting the opportunity to meet them in person! July 1st, 2005 -- Today we released Build 541, which has a bug fix on the customized search on the Property List. June 27th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 540, which added a New CPTED Report: Show All Currently "Certified" Properties... so you can easily see/print a list of all Properties considered "Certified" (having completed their CPTED Inspections and completing a Meeting/Safety Social. As with all reports, this list can be sorted by Date and Exportable as a Printed Report or Excel Spreadsheet or a PDF File, whichever you choose. June 27th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 539, which, as suggested, renamed the "Name Info" tab to "Other Names" and moved it next to the Manager/Mgmt Co/Owner tabs. Also, we moved the "All Names" tabs next there as well. Thank you to Veronika Metchie from New Westminster, BC for the great suggestion... it makes so much sense and it much more clear this way! Thank you! June 20th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 538, which added a New CPTED Report... Show ALL CPTED Inspection dates due ANYTIME in the FUTURE... so you can easily who all is scheduled for a future CPTED Inspection... all sorted by Date and Exportable as a Printed Report or Excel Spreadsheet or a PDF File, as is the case with all EasyTracking™ Reports. June 20th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 537, which has two additional features added and a bug fix: New Item #1. A brand new Tab on the CPTED Inspections that can store "CPTED Document" paths... including any photo, scan, Word document or Spreadsheet...any file's path can easily be stored here.. and retrieved/displayed with a simple double-click... No more storing files on your computer... and never being able to find them later... store their paths here..and not only can YOU find them...anyone on your network (your co-workers) can easily find them using EasyTracking and this feature! Organization made easy! New Item #2. A new "Duplicate This CPTED List" button....so you can make one Master List of CPTED Inspection Items... then easily make Duplicates with one click..and edit or any on items specific to the New List. For example, if you have a Master CPTED List for Apartments... and wanted a very similar Master CPTED List for Manufactured Housing... just one-click and you have a Duplicate...and now go add/edit the few CPTED items that are specific to Manufactured Housing. You can have as many Master Lists as you want...one for Mini-Storages, Condos, Storefronts, etc., any Property Type you want! Fast and Easy! Bug Fix: On Stats Report that is Exported to Excel... column alignment is corrected. Thanks for pointing this out and sorry for any inconvenience! June 19th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 534, which fixed a bug in Build 533's Procedure that added a new table to the database. June 14th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 533, which fixed a bug in the Person Labels, putting Address Line 2 into the Label if a Line 2 exists in an address. Also in Build 533, we added in Individual Default City, State and Zip for each Username. That way, when each User signs on and presses "Use Default City, State, Zip" on a Property, Manager, Prop Mgmt Co or Owner Tabs, their individual Default City, State, Zip is automatically entered, saving the User from having to enter that up to 4 times on each Property. June 13th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 532, which is a completely upgraded way of creating and using Customized CPTED Lists for Inspections. For example, you can have a customized CPTED List for Apartments, another custom List for Mini-Storages, another List for Condos, etc. The new way is MUCH more user-friendly ... and if you have created custom lists before with the old way of doing things...don't worry... this upgrade automatically imports those Lists into the new way of doing things... so you can now more easily update and add onto those Custom CPTED Lists. May 25th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 524, which put the "Clear All CPTED Items for This Inspection button" back in on the CPTED Inspection Items screen, as a convenient/easy way to clear out a CPTED list of items for a given Inspection. May 18th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 523, which fixed a small bug which did scrolling during a Export to Excel of the List of All People screen. May 18th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 522, which fixed a small bug which did scrolling during a Export to Excel of the List of All Properties screen. May 17th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 521, which added in two more customizable ways to do Property Searches: 1. Search by Property Name (or partial Property Name) ... So if you are looking for Windham Apartments... you can just enter in "Win" or any partial of the Property Name and all Properties that start with "Win" will be displayed...and you can then Double-Click on the Property Name you want and be directly taken to the Property Screen for that Property Name. 2. Search by Street Address Number (or partial Number) ... so if you are looking for a Property located at 13567 Main Street.... you can just enter in "135" or any partial of the Street Address Number and all Properties that have "135" ANYWHERE in the Street Address will be shown. This search is a little different in that the number can be ANYWHERE in the Address Field, as opposed to the "Starting With" in the Property Name Search above. So that means if you are looking for ALL properties on Newbury Ave...just type in "Newbury" and you will get a list of all properties on Newbury. If you typed in "New" you will get all properties on Newbury, Newland, Newman, etc streets... because they contain "New" in them... which is also a good way to check for a misspelled Street Name. May 16th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 520, which added in two convenience buttons, namely a Show All Properties Button and a Scroll/Next Page/End Button, to all 4 major Customizable Report Screens (List of All Properties, List of All People/Companies, Stats Report and CPTED Report). May 16th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 519, which added Area features into the Stats Report and CTPED Report. Also we added in the printout of Area/Beat/Type/Activity choices onto the Report Printouts, and also the CPTED Report Type on the CPTED Report, to help clarify your customized choices on the Reports you have just printed. May 15th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 518, which added in Double-Click on the List of All Properties and List of All People/Companies Lists... so when you pull up a List of All Properties, you can now Double-Click on a particular Property on the List and it will take you directly to the Property Screen at that Property location... when you use this new feature with the dropdown Area/Beat/Type/Activity customizable choices, you can display a List of, say, all Properties in Beat 1 that are of Type Apartment ... and Double-Click on the Properties.. go to the Property Screen...then click back to the same customized list...Double-Click on the next Beat 1 Apartment, and go right down the List. Very convenient and customizable..and fast..and easy..to scroll down a customized list of Properties and make changes to any or all of them. Also on Build 518, we added several additional places where "Area" can be either one particular Area or "All Areas"... now you can see a list of Properties, Managers, Owners, People, Stats, etc based either on one particular Area or "All Areas", meaning your entire City. So if you want to break your City/County/Agency into different "Areas" for different users, you now can. For example, if you want 4 different people ONLY seeing ONE particular Area, you can assign each of them one Area of your City...and they can see/edit/input ONLY in their own Area. And you can have another User have "ALL Areas" so that you can see ALL of the Properties in your City. Just another way you can divide the workload of inputting/managing the data in your City/County/Agency. May 9th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 517, which added in a new "Double-Click-to-Locate" feature on List of All Contacts; also added a new button "List of All Contacts" on the Individual Contact form..so you can easily go back and forth from the List of All Contacts to each Individual Contact and back again to the List of All Contacts. May 8th, 2005 -- Today we released Build 514, which added in two new Menu choices and a Brand New Report : List of All Agencies, under the Contacts menu of the Main Menu. 1. The first new Menu choice is under Backup, and is "Location of Your Backup File"...to make it easier and faster to locate and see your Backup File that you just have created. 2. The second new Menu choice is under Software Help and is "Location of Your CrimeFree.exe File (For Updates)"....so that you can easily know/see where the Main Program File (CrimeFree.exe) is located...so when you download an Update, you now can easily see WHERE to put the update file. 3. The New "List of All Agencies" Report is located under Contacts.... so that you can easily print a complete report/listing of all of your Agency Contacts.

Revised/Updated the PowerPoint short slideshow of EasyTracking. For any of you interested in this Click here to download a brief PowerPoint Presentation showing the many features and benefits of EasyTracking software. November 24th, 2002... Build 208 of Version 2002 is released... fixes a couple bugs that would occur when the user would fail to hit the checkmark/post. Now the software will checkmark/post for the user if the user fails/forgets to checkmark.. the only downside to this if the user made a change and didn't intend to, and even though the software turns the fields yellow to notify a user a change has been made, if the user still doesn't hit the checkmark/post, and moves/changes/leaves that tab, the software will post the changes. So the user should be aware that when they make changes (all fields turn yellow to notify you changes are/have been made) to hit the checkmark/post or else the software will for you. October 21st, 2001... Prepare to travel to St. Cloud, Minnesota, for the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association Conference.

Fixed the "flickering screen" bug (some versions of Windows 2000 handle the "refresh" the screen at a slower rate, giving a "flickering" look.

If you have one of these versions of Windows 2000 and see "flickering", just download the latest version of EasyTracking (download EasyTracking Update here) and your screen won't flicker anymore. September 10th... Start new installations based on appointments made at the 3rd Annual Crime Free Conference in Seattle, WA and since. If your agency is ready to try EasyTracking (FREE trial for 6 months), just call us today for your appointment, at (877) 501-4699 or from outside the USA call (619) 421-8227. September 1st, 2001...The 3rd Annual Crime Free Conference in Seattle, WA was a big success in terms of being able to demonstrate the newest Windows version of the Crime Free "EasyTracking" Software.

Slightly ahead of schedule in spite of adding additional features and functions. October 1st, 2000... Completed first stage of development on Windows version of EasyTracking, called EasyTracking2001. Several new features are being designed into the new version, including multiple property addresses, multiple managers and/or owners, a separate field for Property Management Company, multiple phone/fax numbers, an e-mail address field, and several places where EasyTracking2001 automatically dates your input, so you know, for example, how dated a phone number is (and therefore whether it's likely to still be valid). September 1st, 2000.... Initial Design Stage of the Windows version of EasyTracking, called EasyTracking2001, is complete. The limits, tables, fields and new data that now can be collected in this new version enable the user to have virtually unlimited amounts of data. The next step is to begin to implement these designs into actual programming code. August 1st, 2000... Start sending out the current update for "EasyTracking99". If you get the "Update" Message from your software, simply call 877-501-4699 for your Free Update, and we'll mail, FedEx or Email it to you, depending upon your request and needs. May 1st, 2000...
