Dmon4.mef

Topic creation date: 2009-01-02

The settings in dmon4.mef are the same as for monitor.mef, except that dmon4.mef is able to export combination fields of Client and Matters or Matters and Clients, where the fields have a separator character defined by the ImportClientMatterSeparatorCharacter. Typically, and by default, this character is a dot '.'.

In monitor.mef and dmon4.mef if the MatterClientRelationship (in the system section of the PMA.INI file) is logically 'and'ed with 4 (CLIENT_FIND_MATTER) or MatterClientRelationship is logically 'and'ed with 2 (MUST_HAVE_CLIENT) then the filter populates the Secondary number and name fields with Clients data for each disbursement record. Otherwise the filter populates the the Secondary number and name fields with matter data.

In the [Export] section ExportFilterName needs to be set to "dmon4.mef".

Differences from Monitor.mef

In dmon4.mef, however, if MatterClientRelationship is MUST_HAVE_MATTER + MUST_HAVE_CLIENT + CLIENT_FIND_MATTER (7) then then the filter populates the Secondary number and name fields with Client data first separated from the Matter data by the ImportClientMatterSeparatorCharacter for each disbursement record. Alternatively if if MatterClientRelationship is MUST_HAVE_MATTER + MUST_HAVE_CLIENT + MATTER_FIND_CLIENT (11) then then the filter populates the Secondary number and name fields with Matter data first separated from the client data by the ImportClientMatterSeparatorCharacter for each disbursement record.

ExportReportFormat:

ExportReportFormat is found in the export section of the PMA.INI file. Setting ExportReportFormat will allow the following modifications to the export. ExportReportFormat is a bit field format, allowing multiple options by adding up the values in the ExportReportFormat column

ExportReportFormat	Result
0	Default for DOS Monitor format (1050) export, however.
1	Default for 32bit Monitor format export with "21" prefix, and also uses the 1051 format.
4	FIELD 7 AS "00", as per old format (1050). Note that 1 already forces this option for the 32bit Monitor export.
8	Add an extra FIELD 8 as "0", (1051 format) for DOS.
16	Version 2.9.0 Pre-release 51 onwards. Removes the last field, the Department field.
32	Version 2.9.0 Pre-release 51 onwards. If the Department, Staff, Client, Department or Disbursement is "(None)" then the field is exported as blank.
64	Version 2.9.0 Pre-release 51 onwards. Filter out all characters other than &',-./= and spaces, Alphabetical upper and lower case and Digits.
128	Version 2.9.61 onwards. Uses a 0 instead of a 1 (the new default in 2.9.61) in the both the duration and count fields of a Disbursement (not call record) export.
256	Version 2.9.62 onwards. Exports a blank narration field in Other Disbursement (not Call) records.
512	Version 2.9.62 onwards. Exports a blank narration field in Call (not Other Disbursement) records.
1024	Version 2.10.16 onwards. ServerAutoExport Only: If the pin number is greater than 0, then the Primary number or staff number is the pin number rather than the default extension.
