Sausalito, CA (PRWEB) June 8, 2006 -- HumanConcepts, the leading provider of workforce modeling and intelligence solutions, today announced that the newest version of its flagship desktop product, OrgPlus 6.0.1, is immediately available worldwide. The new-feature-rich OrgPlus 6.0.1 can be leveraged by organizations to visualize, model and analyze organizational structures and critical employee information for strategic human capital management. OrgPlus is currently used to chart millions of employees at organizations of all sizes.
"HumanConcepts´ product development team prides itself on its open line of communication with and responsiveness to customers," said Steve Datnow, Vice President of Product Development for HumanConcepts. "The enhanced features and functionality included in OrgPlus 6.0.1 are a direct result of specific requests we have received from our valued clients."
Notably OrgPlus 6.0.1 has also been tested compliant for Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ´ 794d) of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 was enacted by Congress to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. 508 compliancy requires that an application be entirely navigational through the use of the keyboard alone.
"HumanConcepts is committed to making OrgPlus accessible to all, regardless of user limitations," said Martin Sacks, CEO of HumanConcepts. "We hope our voluntary efforts in the area of 508 compliance prove our loyalty to all customers, and specifically those in the government space to whom 508 compliance is of the utmost importance."
In addition to 508 compliance, new features and functionality in OrgPlus 6.0.1 are:
- Enhanced Image Library
The My Charts folder now contains a library of 130 images that can be used to make charts even more graphical.
- Better Box Layout Options
OrgPlus now allows you to set the background color and border style for any cell within a box. Field labels in boxes can now be placed anywhere in a box (above, below, left or right of the corresponding field). OrgPlus also allows you to create fixed size boxes and fixed size columns within boxes.
- More Flexible Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks can now be attached to free-floating objects such as pictures, shapes and textboxes.
- Improved Conditional Formats
Box layouts can now be copied from a selected box, which makes defining complex conditional formats easier. In addition, users can clear conditional formatting parameters on a tab-by-tab basis within the box layout dialog.
- Innovative Sub-chart # AutoText Element
OrgPlus now allows you to easily identify where a sub-chart fits into the overall hierarchy by using the Sub-chart # AutoText elements. Each sub-chart is given a unique number (for example, 1.1.2 or 1.3.1) which makes it easy to collate printed output.
- String Functions
OrgPlus now supports string functions that allow you to extract a sub-string from a field.
- Import Data Enhancements
OrgPlus now gives you more control over rolling up records into multi-record boxes during import and data refresh.
- OrgPlus Reader Optimization
The Save As function now allows you to embed referenced pictures, remove original data source reference, strip hidden fields and convert formulas to values.
- Broadened Publishing Options
Publish to PowerPoint now supports inclusion of sub-chart arrows.
- Improved Conditional Formats
OrgPlus 6.0.1 speeds up the definition of conditional formats, groups, conditional formulas, reports, etc. by allowing you to select from an auto-populated list when performing any field comparison.
- Enhanced Performance
OrgPlus has been optimized to increase the speed of general operations including import, data refresh and publish.
- OrgPlus Online Integration
The automation features of OrgPlus and the new "Push Data" functionality now make it easy to push charts to OrgPlus Online.
- Mapped Fields
Mapped fields now allow you to map from one value to another value. For example, a user can include a USA flag in the box of a USA-based employee.
