New features available as of June 2009:
New VirtualDoxx Server Installer
A beta-version Installer is available, allowing technical staff to set up a
VirtualDoxx server.
The installer is similar to InstallShield, but uses an Open Source package named
IzPack.
The installer works on Windows or Linux
Windows or Linux OS must be pre-installed
MySQL package must be downloaded and installed
The installer will set up the rest of the server, prompting user for input, as required:
- server name
- static IP address
KVM Virtual Machines are supported on Linux
Our Development, Test, and Production VirtualDoxx Internet servers have all been
upgraded to run KVM Virtual Machines on Linux.
On each VirtualDoxx server, the Apache web server runs in one VM, while JBoss
and MySQL run in a separate VM.
This makes it possible to simply copy a Virtual Machine from one server to
another, rather than having to set up a server from scratch.
New features available as of October 2008:
VirtualDoxx Parent-Child Relationships
Many VirtualDoxx customers have only a single type of data in their databases -
folders or other items they track.
However, VirtualDoxx can support multiple types of records, and the records can
have different relationships.
For example, US Department of Labor tracks two types of files:
Contract files, each with a color-coded, bar-coded RFID label
Grant files, with a slighly different color-coded, bar-coded RFID label
But these two types of DOL files are peers
- just two types of files.
Other customers have even more complex requirements.
For example the Small Business Administration wants to track two different
levels of data:
Employees - SBA wants a single record defining each employee, including Name, SS# (5 digits), and Home Office
Employee Files - up to 4 files per year for each SBA Employee:
Accountable Property file
Payroll file
Travel Authorizations
Travel Vouchers
VirtualDoxx can model this relationship, linking
each Parent Employee record to all of its Employee Files.
The parent Employee level exists only in the database - there is no physical
file or label for the employee.
Physical file folders are created for a specific File Type and Year, so only
Employee Files records are tracked..
New features available as of December 2007:
Variable Images
VirtualDoxx and VirtualLabels now support Variable Images - images that change
for every label or E-form
- This makes possible labels and E-forms with photos of individual employees or
other assets associated with each record.
RFID Scanners
VirtualDoxx now supports both portable and fixed RFID scanners:
- The Symbol 9090 portable RFID scanner can be used to perform mobile
inventories or find a missing record.
- The Alien ALR-9900 RFID scanner can be used at a workstation or a doorway.
- It supports up to 4 RFID antennas, providing complete coverage of a doorway
- Since each antenna puts out up to 4 watts of radiated energy, it is critical
to turn the scanner OFF when not in use.
RFID CheckMate Device
RFID
CheckMate Device
New VirtualDoxx RFID CheckMate device can be used in conjunction with a fixed
Alien ALR-9900 RFID scanner
- The VirtualDoxx RFID CheckMate device performs critical functions using IN and
OUT photo eyes:
- When the either photo eye light beam is broken, the ALR-9900 is automatically
turned on to scan all RFID tags within range, and then turned off
- If the IN photo eye light beam is broken, all records for the scanned RFID
tags are automatically transferred to the File Room
- If the OUT photo eye light beam is broken, more complex processing is
performed eliminating manual processing:
- If any of the scanned records has been previously requested by a user, the
destination from the request is used as the Check-Out destination
- If there are no prior requests for the record, but an Employee RFID badge or
Location RFID tag is scanned, the Check-Out destination is automatically set to
that User or Location
- This allows exact identification of the Check-Out destination, without logging
on to any VirtualDoxx screens.
- The CheckMate can be fitted with a light stack - the red, green, and yellow
lights indicate whether the scanner is turned on and whether tags have been
successfully scanned.
Record Request Updates
The VirtualDoxx Record Request feature has been updated with new RFID
capabilities:
- New, simple Record Request web page that allows any authorized user to request
a record quickly and easily, without having to download VirtualDoxx
- Record check-outs can be simplified by means of employee RFID badges or a set
of RFID tags representing all the locations in an organization
- When a set of RFID tags is scanned, VirtualDoxx checks whether any of the
scanned RFID tags are employee RFID badges or RFID location tags.
- If so, all the records included in the scans are automatically checked out to
the employee or the location represented by the RFID tag.
New VirtualDoxx features available as of September 2007:
Any VirtualDoxx project can now be set up with a Record Request feature.
A user logged on to VirtualDoxx can request one or more records to be delivered
to any location defined for the Project.
When a record request is made, a workflow process is initiated which tracks the
request until the requested record(s) have been delivered to the specified
destination.
There can be up to 5 parties to a request
- User who is logged onto VirtualDoxx and making the request
- Requestor - in many cases, this is the user making he request, but it is also
possible to request a record for another party
- Destination - the location or person to which the record must be delivered
- Current Location - the location or person currently in possession of the
record
- Home Location - the location or person who normally keeps the record when it
is not 'checked out'
Email Notifications, detailing the record request, can be sent to any or all of
the above parties:
- at the time of request
- and/or time of delivery
Each record requested is placed in a Request Queue, which can be viewed online.
The queue shows:
- total number of requests in the Request Queue
- date and time of the OLDEST Request in the Queue
- date and time of the MOST RECENT Request in the Queue
- details of each requested record
The Record Request is Closed when the record is transferred to the specified
Destination, and removed from the Request Queue.
New VirtualDoxx features available as of July 2007:
VirtualDoxx now supports Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Record Tracking
using state-of-the-art passive Gen2 RFID tags.
VirtualDoxx has always offered Barcode Record Tracking, using barcode labels and
scanners to scan the barcode as each record is transferred.
But RFID offers many new capabilities, by applying a Label containing an
electronic Chip and Antenna - an RFID 'Tag' - to each record:
- Using an RFID scanner, records can be identified and located from as far away
as 40 FEET, even if the file is NOT VISIBLE
- The distance from which an RFID tag can be read is dependent on many factors,
including the type of RFID tag used
- RFID scanners are capable of reading ALL the tags within scanning range,
rather than one at a time, as with Barcode scanners
However, since RFID scanners and Tags rely on radio frequency signals, they also
have limitations:
- Metal shelving, file folder fasteners, paper clips, liquids, walls, and other
materials which block, reflect, or attenuate radio signals will affect
performance
- Read rates at or near 100% are only possible under optimal conditions, so
system design and minimization of radio interference are critical to success
- Optimization of RFID scanning requires careful consideration of environmental
factors, tag position, tag orientation relative to the scanner, and other
factors
Both Fixed and Portable RFID scanners are available:
- Fixed RFID scanners are often installed in file room doorways, or other key
'choke points', allowing PASSIVE tracking of the movement of records within a
facility.
- Fixed RFID scanners typically generate a stronger radio signal than hand-held
scanners, resulting in a longer read range.
- Portable, hand-held, battery-powered RFID scanners can be used anywhere within
a facility:
- to take an INVENTORY of records at a particular location
- or to FIND lost or missing records
The VirtualDoxx database LINKS each unique RFID Tag to the Record attached to
the tag.
The unique RFID Tag attached to each Record may also contain a barcode, so that
both Barcode and RFID scanners can be used in combination.
Whenever an RFID tag is scanned, VirtualDoxx automatically updates the database
to reflect the location of each record scanned.
New VirtualDoxx features available as of March 2007:
VirtualDoxx has been customized to provide comprehensive Weapons Tracking
features for use by Governments, Police, Prisons, and Gun Dealers.
Each weapon is identified by Weapon Type and Serial Number.
The entire life cycle of a weapon can be tracked, including a complete Chain of
Custody:
- Acquisition date and original cost
- Assignment - each owner the weapon has been assigned to during its life
- Location - the current location of the weapon, and each prior location of the
weapon, including repairs and weapon transfers
Electronic Forms can be created to record key activities in the life of each
weapon:
- acquisition of the weapon
- requests for new weapons, weapon shipments, transfers, repairs, and
destruction
- transfers of weapons
- destruction of weapons
- repairs to the weapon, including parts used in the repair and identification
of the Armorer who certified the weapon
- 3-part weapon repair tags can be printed and attached to each weapon,
providing:
- associated Gear that has serial numbers, such as Scopes and Radios
- accessories without serial numbers, such as trigger locks, holsters, cases,
cleaning kits, magazines, protective vests, and scopes
- a receipt that can be given to the owner when the weapon is presented for
repair
- a parts list that can be filled in by the Armorer during the repair and
certification process
- a stub that remains attached to the weapon while it is being repaired

New VirtualLabels/VirtualDoxx features available as of February 2006:
- For very complex print requirements, VirtualLabels/VirtualDoxx can start
multiple print jobs from one set of data.
- This allows more than one die-cut to be used, in separate paper trays or
printers.
- For example, Printer Tray #1 has 6-up Folder labels, while Tray #2 has 30-up
Name labels.
- Each set of data could generate 1 Folder label and 5 Name labels in separate
print jobs, from a single print request.
New VirtualLabels/VirtualDoxx features available as of February 2006:
