ArmoryBook keeps track of the total number of rounds fired for each firearm along with the number of rounds fired since its last cleaning. These counts are used in various system notifications and information displays. To increase the accuracy of these counts, and to allow for more detailed maintenance information, each maintenance type can new be tagged as Barrel Cleaned During Maintenance.

When ArmoryBook is tallying rounds fired for range trips and cross-referencing maintenance records, it will use this new classification to indicate if the rounds fired since last cleaning should be reset. This new feature will allow for the creation of detailed maintenance types that will NOT affect the round counts on a firearm. For example, a maintenance type of "Refinish Stock" can be created with the Barrel Cleaned During Maintenance field not checked. When this maintenance type is used, it will have no affect on the tallying of round counts but still allow for tracking the stock refinish that was performed.

Maintenance type information can be modified in the system setup screen. To access the setup screen, go to the main menu setup option and select Maintenance Type.

The Maintenance Type listing screen has a new column, Barrel Cleaned. This provides a quick way to identify if a maintenance type will affect the tallying of round counts.

The Edit Maintenance Type screen now has a checkbox, Barrel Cleaned During Maintenance. The value set here will be used as the default value when this type of maintenance is selected on a maintenance record.

When entering a maintenance entry for a gun, the Barrel Cleaned option will change dynamically based on the value selected for the maintenance type field (Complete Breakdown in the image below). The Barrel Cleaned option can be checked/un-checked for any maintenance type, regardless of how it was configured. This allows for setting this value on a case by case basis. For example, if during a Complete Breakdown maintenance the barrel is usually cleaned, but in this case it was NOT, you can simply un-check the Barrel Cleaned option and the round count will not be reset when the system is doing its calculations.

The Barrel Cleaned During Maintenance information has been added to several reports, the first is the Maintenance Info report. This report is available from the main menu report option as seen below.

To simplify displaying this information in the report, and to try to include as much information without adding new columns, an * has been added to the Maintenance Type column (red arrow in the image below).

A barrel cleaned column can be displayed, if desired, by selecting the Barrel Cleaned option in the Column Visibility selector.

Below you can see the Barrel Cleaned column displayed. Noticed that the * is still displayed in the Maintenance Type column.

As in the Maintenance Info report, the Barrel Cleaned During Maintenance information has been added to the Maintenance Aging report. This report is available from the main menu report option as seen below.

The Maintenance Aging report has been modified to include an * in the Maint Type column (red arrow in the image below) just as in the Maintenance Info report. The barrel cleaned column can be displayed, if desired, by selecting the Barrel Cleaned option in the Column Visibility selector.

When Maintenance Aging information is displayed on the home screen it will also include the * indicator in the Maint Type column.

The main menu search results now includes two new fields: Gun & Accessory Value and Safe & Location. Below is an example of search results with the new information.

To accommodate more information in the list, and to show more results on a single screen, any information that does NOT have a value has been removed. Note that the result information that is highlighted in red shows varying amounts of information.

The total value of selected accessories will now be displayed following the Accessories label (refer to the image below).

The total value will be dynamically updated as accessories are added or removed.

A Gun Status Summary section has been added to the bottom of the gun screen's Basic Information section. The table below show each field and a simple description.

Field Description

Last Maintenance	Time since the last maintenance was performed in years, months and days.
Rounds Since Last Maintenance	Number of rounds fired since the last maintenance.
Total Images	Total number of gun images.
Last Range Date	Date of the last range trip.
Total Range Trips	Total number of range trips logged.
Total Rounds Fired	Total number of rounds fired.

All summary information is available in various spots of ArmoryBook, but this provides a simple, "one stop" summary.

The Maintenance/Range Notes section now provides direct access to all the information it contains using the header as a link that will open up that specific information in a new window (the blue text in the image below).

Mentions are a type of "auto complete" feature, available in ArmoryBook's word processor editors. Mentions work in one of two ways, they can add a link that references another system component, or they can insert previously defined snippets of text into a document. The table below list each mention, text to activate the mention and the result of selecting an item.

Name Activator Result

Gun	@gun	Link
Contact	@contact	Link
Quick Note	@qnote	Insert user defined text

Link Mentions

Gun and Contact mentions allow adding a link into a document that provides direct access to a specific gun or contact. When documents containing these mentions are viewed, clicking on the included link will open a new window/tab containing that items' information.

User Defined Text Mentions

Quick Note (qnote) mentions allow user defined text to be inserted into a document. Using qnotes allows for faster entering of notes in all parts of the system and provides a consistent way to note various parameters being tracked.

Quick Note Configuration

Qnotes can be configured by using the Quick Notes option in the system configuration menu. Below is the Qnote list screen.

Items can be edited by clicking on the text in the Description column or using the Edit button. To delete an item, use the Delete button. New Qnotes can be added using the Add button in the upper right of the screen.

When adding/editing a Qnote the description, category, fill in and active status can be set. Categories can be used to group notes used in different parts of the system together. For example, maintenance or rage information can be grouped together to make finding the appropriate note quicker. The image below shows the add/edit screen.

Using Mentions

To activate the list of possible values for a mention, type the value in the activator column. The image below shows all three types activated.

Once the list is displayed, any text entered becomes a search phrase, for example, "Benny". The items in the list will be filtered based on this search phrase. To select one of the items in the list, navigate to the desired item, using the cursor keys, then use the TAB or SPACE BAR to select the highlighted entry. In the image below both a contact and gun mention has been added to a maintenance note.

ArmoryBook has an auto highlight feature that is used to draw attention to key bits of information when notes are being displayed. Setting up a Quick Note to enter this type of information makes it so that you don't have to remember the proper format to utilize the auto highlighting feature. Below you can see and example of each of the different highlight options.
