Overview Nexus 10 encapsulated some major changes and enhancements to existing Nexus programs with the focus placed upon the Control Centre, EOM processes, Statement generation, Document Centre and Automated Bank Reconciliation process. This document outlines the changes that have been released with the Nexus 10 system. NEXUS 10 RELEASE NOTES.DOCX Ver 1.0 Page | 4 2. Nexus Control Centre Enhancements background The menu tree structure in Nexus was introduced in Nexus 2012, in Nexus 9.5, the search capability within the menu tree was added. In Nexus 10, the menu tree has been enhanced even further as per our clients’ suggestions. Now ALL Nexus programs (Pfx and C#) can be searched and launched from the menu tree. Up to Nexus 9.5, a Nexus program could be launched using one of the three methods: 1. Launching from the menu (limited to Pfx programs) 2. Launching from File – Run a specific Nexus Program (limited to Pfx programs and limited C# programs, and, you needed to know the exact program name to launch it) 3. Launching from a Speed button – For all pfx programs and C# programs (you need to know the exact name of the program, and parameters required if any) Very often, users were unaware of new programs/features developed in C#. Although it is easy to create a speed button or do a [File – Run], the challenge is that you can only access the program if you know the program name. Thus, if you were exploring Nexus without the guidance of a help system or release notes, many new features were likely to go unnoticed and not taken advantage of. To address this, major changes have been introduced in Nexus 10 so that programs can be easily searched and launched, with additional short description for each program provided to help users understand what a program can do. All programs (pfx and C# alike) can be searched and accessed via the menu tree If you switch on the Menu Tree View – Tree View Menu (Ctrl-T), you should see all the programs, unless it’s been disabled by Nexus Menu Maintenance (SYMNUMNT), organised by modules, similar to the Menu system itself. Without expanding each module, you can simply type in a key word, such as ‘Email’ (see example below) to look for any email related programs across all modules. The search will search for program codes as well as program names. Clicking on a particular program, the bottom of the pane will also display a short description of the program. The ‘More Info’ link will take you to the help page of the selected program where you can see more detailed description of the program if available. You can also launch the selected program by double clicking on the item in the tree or click on Start Program link at the bottom left of the tree pane. Upon launching the program, if the logged in user does not have the required security to run this program, a dialog box will show up, otherwise, the program will be
