• Now supports "Closing" or "vacating" a Subdivision or a Lot/Block within a Subdivision. If a Subdivision or Lot/Block is closed, then you cannot enter data to the Subdivision or Lot/Block. In Search, you are warned that it is closed. In both search and index, comments are displayed to help the user understand re-plating or the reason for the close.
  
• Full reverse Township-Range support so the field order on all halFILE screens shows in the following order: 2.5-acre - 10 acre - 40 acre (qtr/qtr) - 160 acre (qtr) - Section - Township - Range (how it reads on recorded documents).
  

• Now supports integration with Ramquest Complete Closing software.
  

• Added a No Blocks and No Lots feature at the Subdivision level that disables the Block or Lot box on the data entry screen.

• Option now lets you display the coded field description data instead of the code. For example, you could make the system display the Instrument Type description instead of the code.
  
• The hit list will now reflect updates made to the record.
  
• Option now provides a list box of hit list sorting options that you can select from before clicking Begin Search.
  
• Added Add All Levels button to Subdivision searches to find documents indexed to the Subdivision only.

• Added Edit-Append-From File feature in Index and Search where you can append an existing image to a document.
  
• Enhanced auto fill features include User Id, current date, current time, designated value and incremented value. This automatically fields an index field when you begin indexing a document.
  
• Short cut names feature so you can enter name abbreviations for commonly used names (User enters ’FNB’ and system enters ‘First National Bank.’
  
• Better integrated Key Verify system which uses Basket Status indicators to indicate whether or not the document has been key verified.

• The system now creates a critieria.mdb file containing the search critieria for the search. This data can be pull into the header section of a Crystal Report to show the user what search the data on the report represents.
  
• Word Merge utility can be set up to extract data from halFILE into a file that can be used in a Word Merge. This has been utilities by clients in Index to build an Order form (for an Order Database).
  
• Crystal Reports functions are available to parse Township-Range and Subdivision-Block-Lot fields into individual fields for the report.
  
• Added Print menu to the Base Edit Utility that includes a Subdivision Detail report showing valid blocks and lots.

• Enhanced the Group Restrictions so multiple SQL clauses could be added as restrictions.

• New "hooks" provide more points for running external programs or integration with other features. For example, you can now set up the system to where, if e.halFILE is installed, the user can select a menu to perform an e.halFILE database search while indexing a document.
  
• Import/Export routine no supports Images.
  
• Auto Archive now can e-mail a designated user to results of the archive.
  
• Improved Print to halFILE module to convert printed output to a TIFF image and import it into halFILE.
  
• New Fast Import module where documents for a Title Order are saved to a designated folder and then, when Order Closes, all documents are posted to halFILE.
  
• Created a Change Notification feature that can e-mail a message and image documents to a designated user when a status field on the document changes to a designated value. This is being used on an Order Book database to send documents to customers when the Status of a Title Order is set to Closed.
  
• Now supports up to 100 fields per database (up from 45).
