3 and above: Core I5 2.6G with Graphics Card having 2 GB RAM 4GB RAM Classic View OS support for Windows 7, 8 and 10 2GB of free disk space Additional Comments The table below provides helpful information on issues related to dctrack Release and above: Issue Memory Issues in Internet Explorer 11 Menu Dropdown in Cabinet Elevation View Label Required for Power IQ Hosts in Integration Settings ODBC Query Timeout Comments Internet Explorer 11 users may experience visual defects and browser instability after accessing more than six options from the top menu (e.g., Dashboard, Items List, Work Orders, etc.) in the same logon session due to memory management limitations of IE11. If this happens, the browser should be closed and re-opened. In previous versions of dctrack, double-clicking on an item would open either its Item Details page or the Port Inspector. A new menu dropdown option is available in any Cabinet Elevation View in dctrack 6.1 for viewing the Item Details or Port Inspector. When you hover over any item in a Cabinet Elevation view, a downward chevron symbol displays to the right of the item name. Clicking on the downward chevron symbol displays a sub-menu where you can click to select either the Item Details page or the Port Inspector. In previous version of dctrack, Power IQ hosts (listed under the Settings tab > dctrack Settings > Power IQ Integration Settings > Power IQ Systems) were not required to have a Power IQ system label. In dctrack 6.1 and above, the Power IQ Label is required. To change the ODBC Query Timeout setting, you must restart the dctrack appliance. Otherwise, the setting will remain unchanged until the next time the dctrack appliance is restarted. Clear Browser Cache After Upgrade Rendering 3D Floor Maps in Internet Explorer 11 effectivepower and potentialpower Fields Deprecated for dctrack uses caching mechanisms for static assets to improve user experience. It is highly recommended that all users clear their browser cache after each software upgrade. To improve 3D rendering in IE 11 for large data centers, you may toggle the Contents Selector in the 3D Settings tab under the Floor Map Settings section to Auto rather than Always. The fields effectivepower and potentialpower are deprecated and will be removed in a future release of dctrack. Please update your code to use fields tieffectivepower and tipotentialpower. dctrack Release Notes 3

4 dctrack APIs Custom Fields Renamed After Upgrade API Move Requests on Cabinets If a custom field created prior to dctrack 6.0 had the same name as a standard field, it will be automatically renamed on upgrade by prepending "CF_" to the custom field. This may impact reports or APIs that rely on the existing custom field names. Customers should review the Custom Field Headings page under Settings > Standard and Custom Fields to see if any of their custom field names have been modified on upgrade. When using API move requests on cabinets and manipulating the rows of the original item or the ^^when_moved item, there may be a leftover system row with a name ending in ^^MOV after completing the move. This is a known issue, and the row can be safely deleted. Upgrades for Existing 4.x, 5.x. and 6.x Customers The upgrade is free for customers with a valid software maintenance agreement. Use the dctrack software selfinstalling upgrade file named dctrack_6.1.1.x.bin. Customers upgrading directly from 4.0 to should contact Sunbird Professional Services for instructions prior to upgrading. Upgrades for Existing and Customers The upgrade is free for customers with a valid software maintenance agreement. The upgrade will require a new install.
