Unlimited notes, ability to have multiple keywords for charts, and a new “free-form” style of data entry are a few of the new improvements. In the data entry screen of both Kepler and Sirius you can select Lunation and Eclipse Charts. In Sirius, the following new feature has been added:
Data Entry and Ease of Use: In Sirius you can now save the charts you have entered and reports you have selected, give these charts a name, and then bring them back at a future time. This feature is different from saving birth data and calling it back at a future time. Saving the chart entries restores all selections in the same way as selecting "Start" and then "Continue from Previous Session" does when you start up Sirius or Kepler, but the selections are not from your previous session but from any session where you saved the entries. This is a handy feature when teaching classes or giving seminars, for example. You can bring up the charts with the reports desired with a few mouse clicks.
Easily create your own categories: We mentioned above that in Sirius notes are of unlimited length. Another new feature regarding accessing of charts is that the selection of categories has been moved from a pull-down tree system to a form with tabs. This is slightly easier to navigate. You can also much more easily create your own categories and groups of charts, more easily name them, and you are no longer limited to 25 of these categories. The limit in Sirius is 1,000, more than any user would need.
The Data Entry Screen, like many screens, has been slightly re-designed so that some selections are easily accessible.
