1. Changes to Q-Pulse 7.1.6

Q-Pulse 7.1.6 is a maintenance and feature release aimed to increase security as it relates to user credentials and improve performance in Dashboards. As part of our effort to continue building out web functionality for end users, this release also contains the ability to print reports from the Audit, CA/PA, and Documents modules in the web application. This functionality will allow users to easily access hardcopy snapshots for needs outside of Q-Pulse, without having to access the Q-Pulse Windows client. 

This update also includes all of the fixes applied in recent updates and so you can directly upgrade to Q-Pulse 7.1.6 from Q-Pulse 5.95 and above.

Looking for more detail on the changes? For full details on the changes to Q-Pulse 7.1.6 please see Q-Pulse 7.1.6 Release Notes.

2. Requesting the Update

The support team will then review your request, validate your support contract and then respond to the ticket proving you with the download links.
