TOTAL gets a tune-up

This update has now been released and is available to download. Click here for the all the details.
TOTAL has been out “on the road” for about a year now – TOTAL 2013 launched in April of last year – and we’ve just closed the hood on its first major service. A sort of engine tune-up.
But the engine we’re talking about is TOTAL’s forms engine.
Several months ago, we started work on a fundamental redesign of our forms engine, with the goal of making TOTAL even faster, more stable, and more reliable.
- First, we spent a significant amount of time reviewing and analyzing log data, application performance, and most importantly – customer feedback.
- Then, the development team used this information to comb through the forms engine, rebuilding or recreating components to increase performance and stability.
- Next, we spent weeks testing new builds, analyzing results, addressing issues, and testing again.
The end result is a completely re-engineered, faster, and more reliable forms engine.
Now that we've upgraded the engine, you'll notice everything is much faster, more predictable, and smoother. Moving from field to field is quicker — as is typing, scrolling, and more. For example, field navigation is 35% faster, on average.
It’s the software equivalent of replacing the spark plugs and adding a supercharger.
You’ll get the new engine tomorrow as part of your normal TOTAL updates – another benefit of your support membership.
So give it a try and see for yourself. We think you’ll like the results.
