For many years, Templates in our 32-bit application provided flexible data collection. Today, our 64-bit Inspections platform offers a cleaner interface, supports multiple inputs per screen, and uses open Python programming instead of proprietary code—making it more adaptable and future-ready. As Microsoft phases out support for 32-bit environments, legacy Templates may become unreliable. Moving to Inspections ensures your data collection remains modern, maintainable, and built for long-term stability.
We are sunsetting support for GainSeekers 32bit data collection application. The nomenclature was "templates" and it is what we used for years to create custom data collection sequences, etc. It was replaced a number of years ago with our 64bit data collection application and what we called Inspections.
We have been working with clients to encourage them to move to Inspections and some have. As Microsoft keeps threatening to stop supporting 32bit applications we keep telling people your Templates could stop working, but we don't know when.
We are going to be promoting the sunsetting of templates directly with clients. We want a landing page for them to link to with info about why they should change. Here are some of the important points.
Update Data Entry process to current reality vs how you did it 15 years ago?
