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.
A new Maintenance/Range Notes panel has been added to the gun information screen. This panel is intended to provide quick access to all notes that have been entered on a firearm. Initially the panel will be collapsed to allow more space on the screen. The new panel can be seen in the image below.
There are multiple parts to the header of this panel. Moving from left to right, the panels starts with the text Maintenance/Range Notes, clicking this text, or the right arrow will open and close the panel contents. The image below shows a sample of the panel contents. Immediately following the text will be an indication of the number of Maintenance and Range Notes in parentheses. In the image below you can see that there is 1 maintenance note and 6 range notes (1/6).
Following the maintenance and range note counts is an icon that can be used to open ALL the gun notes in another window. The window will contain the following types of notes:
- Acquisition
- Gun Notes (top of gun form)
- Maintenance
- Range
- Sale Notes
The notes window can be pinned to the side of the screen to allow easy reference while entering new notes in the gun screen (or any other screen). Bellow is an example of the window contents.
By default, the notes will be displayed WITHOUT images. Not including images makes the notes more compact and easier to read, as well as reduces the required bandwidth for downloading (this is especially important on mobile devices). To include images, simply click the image toggle button. Clicking the image toggle button again will remove the images.
