We have just released version 2018.8 of Atola TaskForce software. This release includes over a hundred of new features and bug fixes.<\/p>\n

Among them are some advanced custom settings. For organizations that need to ensure that imaging is always performed with special settings, we have made it possible to create a special preset, which can also be exported from one TaskForce device and imported to another one.<\/p>\n

        Exporting sector lists from an imaging session<\/h3>\n

        When an imaging session is completed or paused, it is possible to see its summary in the Imaging sessions summary<\/em> page. Now there is also a possibility to export lists which would clearly indicate which of the sectors on the source drive have been successfully imaged, which have not (if any), and which of the sectors contained errors.<\/p>\n

        To export such list:<\/p>\n

        1) Click Image icon in the left-side menu and select the source drive<\/p>\n

        2) In the session summary, click the Export icon<\/p>\n

        \"\"

        Click Export<\/em> icon<\/p><\/div>\n

        3) Select the sectors you are interested in (e.g. Imaged sectors<\/em>)<\/p>\n

        \"\"

        Select the type of sectors<\/p><\/div>\n

        4) Save the downloaded .csv file<\/p>\n

        This file shows the ranges of imaged sectors:<\/p>\n

        NB<\/strong><\/em> Should an imaging session be completed, the list of non-imaged sectors will be blank.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
