Key upgrade of database structure since version S.3.5.0

• Automatic correction of counters according to a historical trend
• Introduction of new algorithms that support the definition of device types and categories. The algorithms are now dependent on the monitored counter values and the device type is adapted based on them. We classify devices as follows:
  • Categories:
    • Device
    • Singlefunctional Color Printer
    • Singlefunctional Mono Printer
    • Multifunctional Color Printer
    • Multifunctional Mono Printer
    • Singlefunctional Color Printer A3
    • Singlefunctional Mono Printer A3
    • Multifunctional Color Printer A3
    • Multifunctional Mono Printer A3
  • Types:
    • Early stage – if the device has a small counter (less than 1000)
    • Working stage – if the device has a meter smaller than the average meters in the environment
    • Experienced stage – if the device has a counter greater than the average counters in the environment
    • Declining stage – if the number of verified prints on the device is less than the average number of prints in the environment and the share of device prints is less than 20% of the meter value
    • Colourful trend – the share of the color meter value is greater than 75%
• The algorithm for calculating counters and their correction has been improved. A module supporting counter anomalies with the option of quick verification of the error location has been added.
• A report has been added in the form of a comparative analysis of the number of devices in the context of the number of prints performed.
• Fixes for counting devices in license.
