Release Notes for RSIGuard for Windows

Including RSIGuard, UserInsight & GroupInsight
Mac Release Notes Key differences between v6 & v5

v6.2.10.0 - 2024-08-01

New Features and Enhancements:

If you have a Work Restriction daily time-limit set, the main window now shows how much time is left until you reach your limit. (RSIG-760)

If enabled, the ErgoCoach Sit/Stand feature now shows a button displaying the current status (sitting or standing) on the main window. It also shows an indicator of how long it will be until it's time to change postures. Finally, you can click the button at any time to indicate that you are in the 'other' posture. (RSIG-1245/RSIG-780)

Improved the ability of ErgoCoach's Multiple Monitor Report to detect monitor size, orientation and other information in virtually all multiple screen setups. (RSIG-1287)

The "Remote Terminal" button on the ErgoCoach settings page matches the look of the other buttons on the page. (RSIG-494)

Sometimes users will click on a ForgetMeNot to close it. But ForgetMeNots automatically close as soon as a user clicks on anything (or types anything) so this is an unnecessary click. ForgetMeNots now tells this to the user so as to reduce unneeded clicks. (RSIG-1008)

Added RSIScript command $sys(DisplayForcedOn) which returns 1 if the OS is keeping the screen on (e.g., because you are watching a video or in a meeting). This can be used, for example, for more complex BreakTimer filters. (RSIG-1277)

Added RSIScript commands $sys(AppPath) which returns the full path to the RSIGuard (or Guardian) executable, and $sys(ReleaseDate), which returns the date that the currently running version of RSIGuard was released. This is used to help improve the RSIGuard registration system for maintenance contract holders. (RSIG-1291)

Added RSIScript commands $sys(IPConfig,FIELD) which lets you query information about your network configuration, and $extract(), which lets you parse value-separated strings (such as some of the network configuration information). Together, these can help create network-aware configurations like having different settings while at home vs. at the office. (RSIG-1284)

On the main window, if you click into any of the information icons to view a sub-window, you can now press ESC on your keyboard to return to the normal display (instead of pressing the back arrow in the top-left corner). (RSIG-1265)

Fixes:

Fixed an issue where some RSIGuard windows could get stuck showing "Updating..." (RSIG-1257)

Fixed some issues that could cause crashes in some monitor configurations. Updated user interface libraries to improve stability and prevent some crashes. Also, if RSIGuard crashes, it asks users for information to help fix those crashes. The interaction for getting details about what went wrong has been much-improved. (RSIG-1272, RSIG-1273, RSIG-1274, RSIG-1280)

Fixed one of the options in the Skipped Breaks wizard that had incorrect wording. The corrected set of options is shown below. (RSIG-1271)

When you create a new AutoClick Filter, you can grab the window title of the application you want to filter by hovering over that window. There were some issues with how that worked that have been improved/fixed. (RSIG-1275)

If you timed it just right, and dragged the BreakTimer window about 8 seconds into the break, the window could get stuck being dragged by the mouse even after the mouse button was released for the duration of the break. This has been corrected. (RSIG-1289)

In the BreakTimer Interaction Style settings, the "start the break ... after waiting" checkbox wasn't available if "Until I have been inactive" button was checked. Corrected. (RSIG-764)

The context help in the UserInsight application (Longterm Usage Statistics in Data menu) now fits better in the popup windows. (RSIG-1282)

Fixed a spelling error in the instructions for the Wrist Flexor stretch. (RSIG-1263)

v6.2.9.0 - 2024-03-17

The "View factors triggering Next Break" popup now uses regular UI (in previous versions it used a native window that acted in unusual ways). It also shows more useful and up-to-date information. (RSIG-1260)

In the "Today's Computer Exposure" popup, the value at the top, which reflects Desktop Risk accumulated so far, has a new label, "Today's Desktop Risk". (RSIG-1258)

The "Start of Day" algorithm has been improved to more accurately represent when a user actually begins working. (RSIG-1250)

When a break ends, it should display the activity graph. However, in prior versions, it didn't do this unless you had enabled the Minute-By-Minute work restriction. (RSIG-1244)

Addressed an issue in which RSIGuard occasionally would need to refresh the main window, especially after long periods of being idle. It could also impact the break window, and in very rare situations, could cause the break window to display a blank box that temporarily locked up the keyboard and mouse. (RSIG-1257)

RSIGuard Individual Edition now checks for updated versions (and offers it if available), by default, every 3 months. (RSIG-1248)

If the Setup Wizard is canceled on the first run, the user now receives a message encouraging them to visit the Settings (or revisit the wizard) and then RSIGuard begins with default settings. Previously RSIGuard exited if the Wizard was canceled. (RSIG-1261)

To avoid unintended clicks, AutoClick is momentarily canceled when a user presses a key, or clicks the mouse. Now it also does this in most scenarios when the user touches a touchscreen. This greatly improves AutoClick used in conjunction with touchscreens. There are still scenarios when RSIGuard can't detect touches, and in those cases, this functionality is not present. (RSIG-1249)

Various improvements to RSIScript. Added many more options to $AppAtPoint() to enhance it's capabilities with AutoClick filters. Also, $sys(CursorPos) has new options. Finally, $recursive() has been added to allow RSIScript to do single-level pre-processing to make it more flexible in some situations. See the RSIScript documentation for details. (RSIG-1251, RSIG-1252, RSIG-1255)

The Administrator Console, used by RSIGuard-only customers, now has better error handling on launching the console if configuration files aren't present. (RSIG-1256)

The "uninstall" command now works in some RSIGuard configurations where it was not previously available. (RSIG-1259)

v6.2.8.0 - 2024-02-20

RSIGuard and myCority Dashboard have different thresholds in some views. RSIGuard now has a setting to align its thresholds to myCority. (RSIG-1223)

The Setup Wizard page about the myCority Dashboard has been updated to better reflect the myCority experience. (RSIG-1227)

The ErgoCoach Monitor Report now handles monitors in portrait configuration. (RSIG-1228)

Addressed an issue with the "View Factors Triggering Next Break" display that could cause RSIGuard to crash. (RSIG-1229)

The 'Todays Usage Statistics' presented data that could be a few minutes to a couple hours old. Now the data includes all recent activity. (RSIG-1240)

When a break completes, the break window normally displays minute-by-minute usage bars. Those weren't always being shown. Fixed. (RSIG-1242)

Enhanced the $data() command to include 'OL' which returns myCority/OES-style estimate of Desktop Risk. This enhances capabilities of the Desktop Risk Action Report. (RSIG-1234)

Added capability to do a silent command-line uninstall for installer configurations with "uninstall icon" not included in program group. This will only work for subsequent versions, meaning it can be used on v6.2.8 or later. (RSIG-1219)

Fixed an issue where in particular configurations, if the Break Needed button appeared, and user took a full natural break, the Break Needed button would disappear and the main window would still display Waiting (break model was still working even with wrong text displayed). (RSIG-1241)

Miscellaneous other minor fixes/performance improvements. (RSIG-1225, RSIG-1226, RSIG-1236, RSIG-1237, RSIG-1238, RSIG-1239)

UserInsight Updates:

The UserInsight application did not handle some edge cases when a data file produced in one timezone was viewed in another timezone. The handling of this situation has been greatly improved. (RSIG-1230)

Improvements to the display of "time using built-in mouse and keyboard" in the associated graphs. (RSIG-1231)

Display of Desktop Risk graph now matches thresholds in myCority. (RSIG-1232)

Graphs now display an average value on the left axis, and hovering over points to see values works more smoothly. Also, the report length times are better aligned with weeks which makes for more logical results for the presented averages.(RSIG-1235)

Two new graphs area available. The first shows the longest periods of work without at least a 30-second period of inactivity. The second is an experimental estimate of the number of touches on a touchscreen. Some application touches are still not counted so this may be improved in future releases. (RSIG-1233)

v6.2.7.0 - 2024-01-18

Corrects an issue where Ctrl+Scrollwheel could distort the scaling in RSIGuard. (RSIG-1214)

Further improvements to performance issue that caused slow keyboard input in some applications when Settings or other RSIGuard dialog windows were open. (RSIG-1181)

Uninstall command didn't work correctly if a package was configured to not include an uninstall shortcut in the Start menu. Now it works properly regardless. (RSIG-1219)

Corrected an issue that could cause AutoClick's Visual Feedback to crash RSIGuard on systems with disabled monitors. (RSIG-1221)

v6.2.6.0 - 2023-12-05

Corrected issues with Keyboard statistics (frequency, pressure/hold-time, inter-key times). (RSIG-1211)

The $data() RSIScript expression now does better date math for calculating averages and totals (supporting daylight savings), and omits days with less than 6 minutes of activity to match OES My Dashboard operation. (RSIG-1213)

Minor UI fix: In BreakTimer Setup Wizard, the Mouse and Keyboard sensitivity buttons are not hidden if they are checked and user sets discomfort frequency back to Never. (RSIG-1204)

In KeyControl, the link to Windows keyboard shortcuts is now customizable if an organization wants to link to a different website. (RSIG-1209)

Remote Terminal Detect 'minimum string length' was reduced from 10 to 6. This still helps ensure at least a minimal string but allows for shorter match strings that may be needed. (RSIG-1212) Additionally, fixed an issue if RSIScript criteria was always true, and some other UI issues. (RSIG-1210)

v6.2.5.0 - 2023-10-05

Next Break Time indicator on main screen now displays much more useful information when a break is imminent. (RSIG-1191)

Corrected an issue where typing wasn't blocked during breaks and arrow keys didn't move cursor during drag locks that was created in v6.2.4. This also corrected an issue that prevented some keyboard statistics from recording in v6.2.4. (RSIG-1188, RSIG-1189)

Fixed an issue that could cause unresponsive UI when connected to specific docking stations. (RSIG-1182)

In the setup wizard, some computers were mistakenly identified as desktops when you tried to setup notebook ErgoCoach settings. Corrected. (RSIG-1192)

If the Exit RSIGuard menu item is not present, then the Hide RSIGuard window no longer tells you that you can select Exit RSIGuard. (RSIG-1193)

The Setup Wizard no longer asks a person who reports discomfort about their primary input devices since this information is no longer used. (RSIG-1194)

UserInsight Updates: Changed risk graph to use the current name for this statistic, "Desktop Risk Score". Also, corrected an issue where the ® symbol displayed incorrectly in an organization's name. Also updated text in the About Box. (RSIG-1195)

RSIGuard Cloud windows language improvements. (RSIG-1157)

Improved robustness of installation process by adding tests to ensure some key application files are present when RSIGuard first runs. (RSIG-1184)

Fixed an issue where if Skipped Break Wizard was left onscreen for a long time, a subsequent break could freeze RSIGuard. (RSIG-1186)

v6.2.3.0 - 2023-06-28

Enhanced 'html open' to use an RSIScript rule to determine if the window should open in RSIGuard browser, or system default browser. Useful for Cority GX2 integrated configurations.

v6.2.2.0 - 2023-06-15

Improvements:

Redesigned Break Window is much simpler and better organized. An optional 'special function button' can be added as well. For example, in the example below, there is a button for toggling the Microsoft Teams Mic during a break when the keyboard/mouse are disabled.

v6.1.6.1

Corrected an issue in which certain characters in KeyControl Hotkeys or ForgetMeNots (e.g., foreign language special characters) would lead to an error like this:

After updating to v6.1.6.1 or later, you will need to respond Yes to remove the corrupted settings. After that the error will no longer appear.

v6.1.6.0

Improved BreakTimer window to show "minute-by-minute" activity history, as well as dynamic mouse and keyboard strain levels to better show the need for rest and benefit obtained.

The Administrator Console (accessible only to organization RSIGuard program administrators) has been updated to match the v6 UI/UX (it used the v5 UI in v6.1.5.0).

Using KeyControl to launch an application via a shortcut now lets you use any shortcut (e.g. all Microsoft Office applications). Previously this only worked for shortcuts that specified an executable file as the target.

Corrected an issue with KeyControl hotkeys where a hotkey that clicked the mouse on an item filtered by AutoClick wouldn't receive a click via the hotkey.

Zooming in/out in the RSIGuard browser (e.g. for the OES Dashboard) now properly zooms the content without changing the window size.

At some scaling (via Ctrl +/-) on lower resolution monitors, some windows would appear unecessarily with scrollbars. Corrected.

In Settings pages, if you try to change a setting that your organization has locked, or which has a restricted range, you'll get a warning letting you know if you attempt to make an unpermitted change.

The Administrator's Access window UI has been upgraded to fit the v6 look (it used the v5 look in v6.1.5.0).

There was an issue for a small subset of users, that RSIGuard could incorrectly warn a user that encryption of ForgetMeNots and other potentially-private RSIGuard settings was corrupt. This is corrected.

Corrected an issue where "hide screen during break" didn't work properly if user stopped stretches.

Improved security for RSIGuard settings storage, and for the 'schedule' and other commands.

If ForgetMeNots are not being displayed because "Define When ForgetMeNots Appear" is pausing them, main screen now shows Waiting (to display).

Time for scheduled breaks in Settings pages now uses consistent time display format.

Fixed issues with "connect to OES" windows (for OES only).

v6.1.4.0

OES attachments can now be downloaded directly from the dashboard.

ForgetMeNots:

ForgetMeNots were not relocatable and now are.

The ForgetMeNot countdown felt like it lasted 1 second too long. Resolved this.

If ForgetMeNots are disabled due to the "Define When ForgetMeNots Appear" setting, the main window now displays "Waiting" as the ForgetMeNots status.

ForgetMeNots Wizard Page showed checkboxes incorrectly if organization had locked ForgetMeNots in the "on position".

RSIScript:

Added 'scroll' command. This can be used to created hotkeys to scroll by a specified distance.

Setting color of notification to ffffff will force it to display even if Windows determines it's not a good time to display it.

Stability:

On return from hibernate/sleep, on some computers, UI was sometimes blank for a while. Corrected.

In some setups, RSIGuard could crash at the end of a break. Corrected.

Fixed issue where Microbreak countdown kept ForgetMeNot showing for 1 second longer than seemed appropriate.

If a large ForgetMeNot was displayed, subsequent ForgetMeNots would be larger than needed for the text shown.

Minor UI updates to ForgetMeNots setup wizard page.

ForgetMeNots can now display HTML content (e.g. images, formatting, safe links)

When you move a ForgetMeNot, subsequent ForgetMeNots are supposed to appear in the new location. RSIGuard wasn't remembering the new location, but now it does.

BreakTimer Updates:

Added a default filter to prevent breaks while presenting in Microsoft Teams and other applications. However, the new filter is only installed for new RSIGuard installations or after a Factory Reset.

Minute-by-minute window would sometimes move around the screen erratically. This has been corrected.

Fixed issue where you could enter illogical times for the minimum and maximum period between breaks.

If you have the "hide screen during breaks" featured enabled, the minute-by-minute window was being hidden as well. Since it's nice to see your status update as you rest, this has been adjusted so that the window remains visible during the break.

AutoClick Updates:

AutoClick "visual indicator" of clicks was nearly invisible. It is now much more prominent to help you see where AutoClick is clicking.

When connected to the OES, the data menu opens the OES Dashboard. Now a user can press the CTRL key while clicking the data menu to access UserInsight, Todays Statistics, and Export Data.

Improvements to user interface of the "enter email to connect to the OES" screen.

RSIGuard could hang if the user was not found in the OES while trying to connect. This issue has been addressed.

Pressing CTRL + Tools menu causes "Synchronize with Online Profile" to be in menu when a user was not connected to the OES, or not configured to use the OES. This is been corrected.

Added "scroll" command. This allows you to create a hotkey to scroll up or down by a specified amount as if using the scroll wheel on a mouse.

Fixed issues with the "question" and "queryset" commands.

RSIGuard window is now shown in Windows App Switch screens (e.g., Alt-Tab, Windows-Tab).

The Administrator's Access passcode screen has now been updated to the RSIGuard v6 UI style.

If RSIGuard was unable to connect to a roaming network, local saving of settings could take several seconds. This is been corrected.

Improved ability to limit or lock settings.

Where relevant, UserInsight provides risk regions on graphs to allow a viewer to easily see if their values put them in the low, medium, or high risk category.

Each UserInsight graph includes a context help button to allow a viewer to understand specifically what each graph means.

GroupInsight (administrator package only)

The program HSRView has been replaced by a new application, GroupInsight. GroupInsight has substantial improvements to the types of analysis that is possible.

Added search support for Work Restriction Exceeded, BreakTimer compliance, "BreakTimer w/preemptive breaks considered" compliance, and Microbreak compliance.

Ability to define and view groups of users based on any HR data (either default fields like Location and Department, or any custom fields you wish to create).

Ability to quickly and easily view and edit settings of any selected user.

Ability to quickly access DataLogger data in UserInsight for any selected user.

Ability to make changes to the settings of group of users (based on any HR data criteria). The settings can either be changed and locked, or changed and left unlocked for the user to adjust later if desired.

Ability to view a user report including information about who is actively using RSIGuard, who is inactive, total numbers of users, and view your administrative access rights.

Substantially improved the timing mechanism for storing DataLogger data over slow networks. On slow networks, RSIGuard could cause users to perceive that their computer was slowed down because network activity caused delays. Not that activity is time to occur almost exclusively during long periods of non-activity.

The DataLogger component now tracks the percentage by which you exceed a work restriction (if you exceed it).

When you exceed a Work Restrictions, the user interface now shows how much you have a exceed a typing/mousing restriction.

Fixed problem related to setting up a minute-by-minute work restriction during the setup wizard that could cause an RSIGuard crash.

Updated RSIGuard icon in help files.

Minor improvement to MCI error reporting.

v4.0.18e

Graphs in RSIGuard Reports now auto-scale to match the window size. This makes viewing graph data much nicer.

Enhanced ForgetMeNots timing algorithm (which is primarily time-based, but also considers activity levels) to insure that a user who is working will see ForgetMeNots even if they are set to occur a long time apart and the user takes moderate natural breaks.

Improved synchronization of RSIGuard's left-handed mouse setting with Window's setting. If you adjust RSIGuard's left-handed setting in AutoClick Settings, it adjusts it in Windows as well. If you adjust it in Windows (or if upon startup, RSIGuard doesn't match Windows), RSIGuard will let you synchronize the two settings so as to avoid the confusing situation where Windows is left-handed and RSIGuard is right or vice versa.

Fixed the "Establish a Connection with OES" button to handle extra long email addresses better.

Added option to ForgetMeNots advanced settings to force ForgetMeNots to be time-based and not pay attention to activity levels/natural rests.

Increased the algorithmic default for Maximum Time Between Breaks after the setup wizard because at the previous default, sometimes breaks would be suggested unreasonably soon

Dropdown menus in the Find Records window of the Health Status Reports Viewer (HSRView) can now handle up to 8192 different elements (previously it was 256).

While this feature was designed for work restrictions, it is also very useful to any user and provides an alternate or supplementary rest reminder to the BreakTimer..

Added tracking of minute-by-minute activity. This allows you to click on the strain bars on the main display to see how you have been using the mouse & keyboard for the last 4 hours.

Fixed problem a problem with keyboard remapping not working in some situations in Microsoft Word (and possibly some other applications).

Changed registry locations for employee HR data to streamline HR Data Integration process.

Added a ability to soft-switch between OES integration using POST or GET method.
