; This release is targets at consolidating the User Access Rights for every part of Vouch in a grandular way. The following is a list of access rights which are attached to a group initially and then can be refined per module basis via <Manage><Users,...><Modules Accessibility Lists> and then can be assigned to each user via <Manage><Users,...><Extended Access...>. Note that each access has a corresponding number, for example, number 9 is associated with right "Can Delete Records ?". In the details following the list below will refer to access associated number to the access description. These access rights can be generic and also per module basis if desired.
In addition, Vouch is introducing a new access protocol - MainSwitch - which can be applied on-top-of existing protocol. The MainSwitch is a section-of-activiteies based protocol and is password protected. For example, all activities which lead to manipulation of Documents will have a MainSwitch - DOC, which, if assigned to a user, will empower such user to manipulated Documents related activities spread through-out Vouch. So if user "AAAAA" is denied right#30 - Can Generate Reports, but assigned MainSwitch - DOC, will be able to manipulate Documents both on design and execution level.
1 . 2 .. 3 ... 4 .... 5 Records are Locked upto [ Delete/Modify ]
6 Allowed to use Vouch upto date ? 7 Can Add Records ? 8 Can Edit Records ? 9 Can Delete Records ? 10 Can Print Documents & Browsers ?

; AWS Integration with Vouch
1 SES . Simple Email Service 2 SNS.SMS . Simple Notification Service via World-wise SMS
Vouch now implements sending emails and SMSes feature. These features are implemented around Amazon's SES and SNS.SMS services. Since AWS is the world leader in Cloud services, and is a dependable provider, Vouch has integrtaed Email and SMS in its day-to-day operations.
PRELIMINARY REQUIREMENTS TO CONSUME THESE FEATURES
1. Open an account with AWS EC2. It will ask for your credit-card. Your credit-card will be charged with one dollar which will be reversed later. This establishes the validity of your account. Once this step is completed, you will be allowed to consume various services. At the end of each calendar month your credit-card will be charged for consumed services. Please visit SES and SNS.SMS pricing pages on AWS portal for details about how each service is charged. https://aws.amazon.com/
2. Create a IAM user via IAM console. It will provide you an AccessID and AccessKey which you would save safely somewhere. Later this information has to be provided in Vouch. https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=us-east-1#home https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=us-east-1#users
3. Attach SES and SNS full access policies with this user.
4. Request Amazon to send emails from within Vouch by filling out a form here. https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/home?region=us-east-1#dashboard: <equest Increased Sending Limits> Make sure that you do not ask for more quota than absolutely required. A good number could be 250 emails per day. Tell them that you have a business application - Vouch - which has integrated these services for notifications purposes.
5. You will have to wait for a couple of days before you can send emails via Vouch.
6. Verify From: addresses which establishes that you own the From: address. Make sure that you provide the address all in lower-case letters. Amazon will send a verification email to given From: address. Open your 'From:' mail-box and follow the instructions, which, generally will be to click on a link. This can be achived via <Email Addresses> link inside SES console. https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/home?region=us-east-1#verified-senders-email: You can verify as many addresses as you own. Inside Vouch, you can provide a different From: address for certain actions, or, can change address dynamically depending upon some condition. Refresh the AWS page after verifying the 'From:' address from within From: in-box. It will change the status to 'verified' from 'pending verification.
7. Once you are done with both the actions a. Increase sending limit b. Verification of From: email addresses you are ready to comsume these services from within Vouch interface.
8. For SNS.SMS you may be interested in setting up some parameters, though those are not mandatory. For example, and which may be important, you would like to limit the $ amount spent on sending SMSes. https://console.aws.amazon.com/sns/v2/home?region=us-east-1#/text-messaging/preferences Ideally <Default message type> should be 'Transactional' but I have experienced some issues with it. So, if you find that SMSes are not beling delivered then change it to 'Promotional'. Note that 'Promotional' type attracts higher price structure than 'Transactional'.
9. You are done from AWS account perspective. Make sure that you did the above configurations inside us-east-1 <North Virginia> region which can be selected from the top-right drop-down list of regions.
CONFIGURE VOUCH TO CONSUME AWS SERVICES
11 Provide AWS user AccessID and AccessKey to Vouch. a. Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><AWS Access Keys> b. Activate <Add> and select a service - Notifications or Email. c. Copy AccessId which you received in step#2 above, and paste in <Id:> field by pressing Alt+V. Do not try to enter it via keyboard. Err is Human. d. Copy Access Key also and paste it in <Key:> field. e. Select <Save> when prompted. After <Save> AccessKey will be stored and displayed encrypted. If you have made some mistake the only way to ractify will be to re-enter the entire record after deleting the wrong one. f. Provide AccessID and AccessKey for the remaining service(s) also.
12 Test if SMS is working. a. Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><Phone Numbers>. b. Activate <Add> and provide cell phone number starting with '+' like: + CountryCode PhoneNumber == +919876543210 For testing use your own phone number. c. Fill in or select relative info in other fields. d. Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><Send SMS>. e. Activate <Add> and select just entered phone number via F6. f. Keep all other fields balnk except <Message> field. g. Type-in some message text and <Save>. h. Press <F8 Send>. Message should beep on your phone.
13 Test if Email is working. a1 Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><AWS veified From: Addresses>. b1 Activate <Add> and provide an ID and verified from: email address. c1 Add usage notes as to where this address will be used. You can keep it blank if you so desire.
a2 Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><Email Addresses>. b2 Activate <Add> and provide an email address. Use your own email address. c2 Fill in or select relative info in other fields. d2 Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><Send Email>. e2 Activate <Add> and select just entered verified From: address via F6. f2 Select the email address you entered in step#e2 via F6. g2 Keep other fields blank until you reach <Subject> field. h2 Type-in some text to form the subject line of sent email. i2 Similarily type-in some message text in <Message> field and <Save>. j2 Press <F8 Send>. Email will be sent to <Email> address and you will be notified by an alert message.
14 Audit logs if SMS/Email(s) have been sent properly. a. Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><SMS/Email Send Logs>. b. Any execution of SEND command will have an entry in this table. c. Navigate with <Next><Prev> or view in the browser via <F3 Brow>. e. The <Response> field will display the actual fate of a SEND event. f. If there is a number sequence that will mean the message has been forwarded to the carrier/mail server. Otherwise actual error description will be displayed.
WHAT WAY SMS SERVICE CAN BE USED IN VOUCH
1. Absolute - Manually providing all parameters and initiating SEND. This mechanism is developed keeping in mind the mass deliveries, for example, changes in rate-lists, circulating various polices, announcing a new product, etc. The building blocks to realize such actions are conatined entirely within these modules:
<Manage><AWS Services>... <Phone Numbers> A placeholder to keep individual phone numbers.
<Phone Numbers Lists> A placeholder to create lists of phone numbers picked from <Phone Numbers> table.
<Send SMS> A placeholder to create an entry about receipients AND message text AND a button to submit the entry to AWS engine for final execution. The module has time-recorded control over creation as well execution. Phone numbers can be provided in any combination, viz., individual number, a list of numbers, or, can be pulled from multiple lists and numbers by providing an expression evaluating to an array of entities of listids or numbers, like, {"+919xxxx1xxxx","+13xx2xx1xxx","CustZn01"} which is comprized of 2 individual phone numbers and numbers pulled from "CustZn01" list.
The following check-list is respected while SENDing SMSes: a. That duplicate numbers are purged into one. b. That every number is present in the <Phone Numbers> table AND is active AND has not expired by period. c. That the SEND event is fired by an authorized peronnel. d. That each SEND is logged in <SMS/Email Send Logs>. e. That once executed, the same entry would not be executed again.
2. Notifications - Automatically keep on sending SMSes if so configured for a module. Notifications can be configured to be fired for the following actions within a module:
a. When a new record is added. b. When a record is modified. c. When a record is deleted. d. When a 'new' document is printed.
Since the configuration part can only be accomplished by an authorized personnel, no validation is exercised at the time of execution. Every execution is logged as if it is done in manual SEND.
Notification is initiated only after all database related operations are completed and record is resting in stable state. This facilitates to excercise lookups on the same record if a need arising to do so while configuring other parts of the notification.
Vouch automatically constructs a message text with following format: [Vouch-User] {action}: {userid}.{module_alias}.{primary_key}.{date_time} => [Vouch-User] Added: SUPER.VOUCHDTL.00002121.2016-07-25 18:00:25
You can also configure text which will be concated with the default message. Make sure that the combined text length is not greater than 140 characters. Vouch's default message lngth is 65, so you are left with 70 characters string at the most. Mote that any bigger message than 140 characters will be sent multiple times in chunks of 140 characters and will be charged accordingly. So be careful while configuring your own message text.
How to configure Notifications: a. Navigate to <Manage><AWS Services><Configure SMS/Email Notifications> b. Activate <Add> and select a module from main-menu lists. c. Select <Action - Add, Edit, Delete, Print> from drop down list. d. Select a <Potocol - SMS, Email> from drop down list. e. Build a <Condition> evaluating to TRUE if this notification be sent. Keep it blank if it is absolutely TRUE. f. For <Targets> field, build an expression evaluating to a string representing (if Protocol == SMS) a single phone-number OR an array of strings comprising any combination of phone-numbers AND/OR lists. The expression receives primary-key-value of the record in question in variable named 'v' ( a single character - v ) which can be used to build conditional expressions. The expression also receives 4 other local blank variables named - w, x, y, and z which can be used as placeholder to other values needed to build expression. Look at the following expression: w := Lukup("INVSALOD",v,1,5), Lukup("AWS_PHON",w,6,1) Here we pull customer code from 'Sales' table and keep it in variable 'w'. Then we look into 'Phone Numbers' table for 'Reference' field where we have referenced CustomerID and pull back phone number itself. Since it is the last call in the expression, it will be returned to Send SMS engine, which again, will look into appropriate fields to establish the validity of phone-number and will relay the message for that phone number. Vouch provides many ways to retrieve the relevant information, your imagination is the limit to exploit this mechanism to the best of your organization. g. For <Message> field build an expression evaluating to a string which will be concanated to default message. See above. In Most of the cases you can keep it blank for SMS notifications. Note that expression receives primary key in variable named 'v'. h. For <Subject> field (if Protocol == Email> you can build an expression which returns a Subject line. You can keep it as __DEFAULT__ if auto generated (as in step#g) message is preferred. i. For <From:> field (if protocol == Email) you have to build expression which returns a single AWS and Vouch registered From: address. The from: address is not validated at this point. So make sure that it evaluates to a valid address. Otherwise your mails will not be initiated from within Vouch itself. j. Select <Save> when asked. Notifications will be active immediately. Any next activity on this module, from anywhere, will start sending notification on the action one is configured for.
As of current date Vouch implements only two SMS features as described above. Vouch does not provide any API to initiate SMSes. This is as such on purpose. Sending SMSes is a costly affair and must ever be used under controlled and accountable environments. Both of the above features can only be configured and/or executed by one who has the proper authorization and hence meet the highest level of security standards.
WHAT WAY EMAIL SERVICE CAN BE USED IN VOUCH
1. Absolute - Just like SMS, Email services can also be used for absolute deliveries. The only difference is that a) Verify From: address and provide it at appropriate input field, and b) provide Subject: text along-with message Body: text. Vouch provides following placeholders for absolute execution of emails:
<Manage><AWS Services>... <Send Email> Time controlled definition and execution of emails. <Email Addresses> Record, validate and switch on/off usable addresses. <Email Address Lists> Clubbing of <Email Addresses> in logical groups. <AWS Verified From: Addresses> Record AWS verified From: addresses.
The procedure to define and initiate an email batch is the same as with SMS. Please read above to accustom yourself for emails as well.
2. Notifications - Automatically keep on sending Emails if so configured for a module just like SMSes. The feature can be configured independent of SMS and/or in combination with SMS. For example, you may be willing to notify a "Edited" action via EMAIL and "Added" action via SMS. OR, you might want to notify a new 'Sales' entry via SMS if the invoice amount is greater than 10,000.00 and all others via EMAIL. Choice is yours.
3. Notifications generated through VouchEventizer - TODO.
+ New Module - <Manage><Users,...><Modules Accessibility Lists> You can create lists of modules which can be disabled for various reasons per user basis. You can create as many lists as you need and can attach one with each user. If attached, all the moduled contained in this list will become non-accessible to the user. This facilitates not to create menues to assign to different users - which is a complex and error prone utility. Instead now you can use Accessibility Lists to restrict access.
How to assign and clear Modules Access List:
1. Navigate to <Manage><Users, ...><Users Extended Access>. 2. Add a new record or modify one, if exists, for the user in question and select a <NonAccMd - Non-Accessible Modules List> with <F6 Slkt>. 3. Save the record. 4. immediately after <Save> is initiated, modules will become non-accessible to the conserned user. However, if that user has already working in any of the modules then the module will continue to remain available until he/she closes it. In a way this feature can be termed as "in-place".
+ Added: New Module - <Manage><Users,...><Templates - Module Based User-Rights> You can create lists of module based user rights, i.e., <Can Add Records?>, <Can Delete Records?>,<Etc...> and can assign one to each user. Once assigned these rights will override the existing rights of those modules contained in assigned list. Also it facilitates to view user-rights for many modules in a single place. Now onwards this mechanism should be considered the main-stream way instead of assigning the rights from within a module.
The rights for each module can be different as per the needs.
How to assign and clear Module based Rights:
1. Navigate to <Manage><Users, ...><Users Extended Access>. 2. Add a new record or modify one, if exists, for the user in question and select a <MdAccTpl - Template - Module based Rights> with <F6 Slkt>. 3. Save the record. 4. immediately after <Save> is initiated, modules rights will become active for the conserned user. However, if that user has already working in any of the modules then existing rights will continue to remain in effect until he/she comes out of Vouch.

+ Added: <Manage><Objects><Define - Alt+K Callable Actions> This implements a general purpose, cascading style menu system which can be called from anywhere with function key <ALT+K>. The module provides a simple interface where you define menues with two elements : 1. Prompt Text 2. Expression as an Action. When user will press ALT+K the menu prompts so defined will show up and selecting one will execute the action.
You will define a menu with "DEFAULT" id which will form the basis of calleable menu for every user. You can assign a different menu to each user separately also via <Manage><Users...><User Extended..> If a menu is assigned to a user in such a way, it will take precedence over "DEFAULT" menu.
You can also call another menu's as one of the prompts in assigned menu with an action - ExecAKAction( cMenuID ), making this system truely a cascading menus.
% Fixed: <Browser><CTRL+H Export to><XLS> now includes headers if <IncHeaders> option is YES while providing export parameters.
% Changed: behavior of ESCape key in trigger fields. When ESC was pressed the whole trigger GETs were terminated which was leading to empty fields which otherwise were configured to be filled. Now ESC does not terminate fetch command.
% Changed - <Select Organization><Edit Details> is now accessible via VouchSerial or Admin(Controller) password. Earlier password based on date was active. Please inform your clients.
+ Added: Fields <Serial> and <Time> in table USAGELOG. It is reported that a users were mis-using the logging info by setting the system date to some previous date and then modify the record leading to mis-judgement on the part of management to decide who did when and what. Though it is not possible to prevent users from changing the system date, but now it is possible to locate the precedence of any entry/modify/delete operation and put the annus onto specific user.
+ Added: Index#15 on <Trading><Gate Inward cum MR><Detail><Field#42.ItemSize>
+ Added: <Manage><Users..><Users Extended Access> Module to grant users extended access temporarily based on certain parameters. For example, if admin wants to provide access to <AWS Services> tables to user "ABCDE" for few hours only and also protect the password with some condition. The access is granted per user only. Password is expression based and the expression is evaluated and compared after fetching the password. Note that every time a password protected Vouch resource is accessed, extended access rights are consulted.
+ Added: <Manage><AWS Services Integration> A group comprising following modules: Send SMS Phone Numbers Phone Number Lists
Send Emails Email Addresses Email Address Lists Verify AWS From: Addresses
SMS/Email Send Logs
SNS Subscriptions SNS Topics
AWS Access Keys
Configure SMS/Email Notifications
Implemented and integrated few Amazon Web Services with Vouch objects. (Details will Follow)

Called from within Vouch_as_a_Service Server as a separate thread initiating auto backups at a pre-designated periodicity. Note that backup may be inappropriate if other instances of Vouch are open. We have to design the backup thread to initiate backup when no other instance is logged starting a specified time daily.
+ Changed: Field decimals from 2 to 4 in [PRORDDTL]<Purchase Orders . D>.
+ Many more small changes to improve the performance of Vouch.

2014-04-28 00:01 UTC-0800 Pritpal Bedi (bedipritpal@hotmail.com)(r125) ; This commit ready's VouchFree ( 2 Users - Upgradable upto 5 users in 39 months ). Free version is mandatory to register before it can be used. One user license is increased every 13 months from the date of initial registration if Vouch is in use continuously and a request is sent to this effect. This you can consider a loyality bonus. Other bonuses may arrive as and when deemed necessary.
The complete details of the registration process can be noted at http://www.vouch.in. Free version also comes with some restrictions. To learn more about it comprehensively please visit http://www.vouch.in.
