Extension of person type Divers and salutation generation

According to the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) of 10.10.2017 (Ref.: 1 BvR 2019/16), since 01.01.2019 it has been possible for so-called intersexuals to be listed as "inter" or "divers" in the register of civil status. In the entity "Business partner", "Contact person", "Employee" and "Based on a person", the key can be stored for the type "[F] Ms.", "[H] Mr.", "[U] Company" and "[D] Divers".

Salutation logic off is retained. Instead of the gender-specific salutation and letter salutation "Dear Sir", "Dear Ms" or "Mr." and "Ms.", the term "Good afternoon" is now used as salutation.

The letter salutation for the person type "D" is extended by the first name.

Example: Ms. Director Dr. Liane von Eckstein (MdL) → Director Dr. Liane von Eckstein (MdL)

The customer can adapt the salutation generation logic himself using the "SalutationLogic" application parameter.

The Google API key must arranged for the domain under which the CRM is called in the browser. If you specify the domain without a sub-domain during application (for example, cursor.de instead of www.cursor.de), the key automatically applies to all sub-domains. The Web Client supports the integration of the Google API for one key and therefore exactly for one domain.

Excel export directory

Storage time for temporary documents (Unit: days)

During the processing of an application file, a copy of the document will be created in the local document directory from the user (c:\Documents and settings\[user]\[Version]\[AppServer_Port]\tmp\document). This local copy is then processed by the user. Once the document is returned its copy is stored in the local document directory.
In order to prevent the directory to overflow, all data are deleted from the directory after the time entered here, when exiting CURSOR-CRM.

Example

'0': The file is deleted directly upon exiting the application.

'1': The file is deleted upon exiting the login if the file is older than 1 day - i.e. one day later.

• All local files that exceed the specified retention period will be deleted. This does not include documents that are not yet checked out on this computer - these will not be deleted, even if their stay in the directory has already exceeded the set retention period.

• Documents that were explicitly opened for reading are filed in the “readOnly” subdirectory. The retention period is not considered here. Files will be deleted upon exiting the application.
