      In most text-based controls, type '{system.' or '{group.' or '{tab.' to trigger the globals insertion routine.
      
      
      Use the down arrow to choose the global you wish to use. The global will highlight grey and when hovered display details. Click the magnifying glass icon on the popup to edit the global value.
      
      
      
      Note that globals have locks.
      
      
      
      
   2. Global Code

      2. Add within Devices that support the standard Database Edit Control
         
   6. Globals can be imported and exported.
6. Execution Groups
   
7. Queue Device Improvements
   1. Support for MSH-4 (Sending Facility) in the Queue
      
   2. New Error Queue Workflow
      
      1. Error count shows up regardless of age
      2. Messages can be "Shelved" which moves them out of the Error queue
      3. "Shelved messages" can be queried
         
   3. Errors for all time ('Error Total') show under a new item: E_T. This only shows when E and E_T are different. So E = Errors Today, and E_T = Error Total (all time). E_T only shows up when E != E_T.
      
8. Multi-Map Tables
   
9. Improved HL7 Inbound Device
   1. Bind to all interfaces using IPAddress.Any and IPAddress.IPv6Any
   2. Ipv6 support
   3. Diagnostics tab to display available network adapters

    2. Import / export servers list
14. Auto-logout of Connexion / RIM after period of inactivity (but should really set this at the OS level)
    
15. Message viewer obfuscation: Hide message data displayed on the screen
    
16. IMessageContext.UserStorage
    1. Provide persistent (and transient) user storage that belongs to the message
    2. Persistent objects are serialized as JSON and stored as part of the message attachments
    3. Unlike the UserContext, persisted objects survive across Queue boundaries
17. Miscellaneous
    
    1. Upgrade all dependant libraries
