Other Minor Changes

Previous Top Next |
|
|
| · | Credit card numbers are now automatically formatted with spaces in-between digits.
|
|
|
| · | Allow credit card information to be saved without the "Name" being filled in.
|
|
|
| · | The monthly auto-charge calculations have been fixed for February 29th in leap years (avoid adding an extra daily-rate charge).
|
|
|
| · | An Access Level setting has been added to prevent changing a reservation's Resv Type after it's saved.
|
|
|
| · | Fixed Rates definitions to allow selecting all discounts to apply (previously it would not select any of them if you tried to apply the rate to all discounts in the pick list).
|
|
|
| · | Fixed the problem of not adding (or re-adding) the Discount transaction category in the pick list, which made it impossible to select "Discount" as the category.
|
|
|
| · | Fixed so record ID's cannot be re-used even if records have been deleted (this was causing potentially serious problems with networked workstations, but would not affect single-computer usage).
|
|
|
| · | Removed share/security flags from file operations when making backups, which might have been causing problems in some circumstances for "Limited" XP users.
|
|
|
| · | The reserved Transaction Categories ("Deposit", "Refund", etc.) have been removed from some drop-down lists where they would not be appropriate (e.g. Tax Setup).
|
|
|
| · | A "..." button now appears after the Guarantee Info fields on Customer Details and Reservation Details. The guarantee information can be edited using this button, which will open a dialog allowing you to change the guarantee information including formatted credit card information.
|
|
|
| · | The Transaction Categories pick list will not show the reserved categories (previously shown with "do not delete" in the description). This prevents them from being changed or deleted by accident.
|
|
|
| · | The "Conflicting Reservations" report has been moved from the Reservations menu to Maintenance / Database Maintenance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| · | A networking issue has been fixed that was causing occasional time-outs (clients disconnecting from the server).
|
|
|
| · | A networking issue has been fixed that caused some changes to not get synchronized properly when a workstation has been offline for a long time.
|
|
|
| · | Fixed the network "Connecting" window so that it shows the reason if it can't connect or gets disconnected (previously the error message was cleared immediately so you didn't see the reason).
|
|
|
| · | If a Payments Method pick-list item doesn't have a base type selected, enable all of the fields on the Enter Payment dialog (instead of disabling them all).
|
|
|
| · | Added an Access Level setting for changing the Reservation Type of a reservation if transactions exist from a previous day or shift (since this can result in changes to reports). Defaults to the Manager level.
|
|
|
| · | Keep auto-backup files for the same number of days as the log files (setting under Program Options / Database), with a 10-day minimum. (Previously the auto-backups were always kept for 32 days.)
|
|
|
| · | Fixed so it doesn't prevent changing the site for a Group reservation type when there are no synchronized reservations left in the "group".
|
|
|
| · | Allow making a Group reservation of only one site (show a warning, not an error).
|
|
|
| · | Fixed a bug that was causing the auto-charged-through date to be set whenever a Quote/Confirmation was done for a reservation (resulting in no charges being added when they check in). This will automatically be fixed retro-actively in your database for any reservations not yet checked in.
|
|
|
| · | Added an option on the Reservation Filtering to show by a charged-through date range.
|
|
|
| · | The "print unpaid" option when printing receipts has been split into two options: print since last zero-balance, and print since paid-in-full (or credit). Thus if they paid a little extra last time, resulting in a credit balance, it can still consider that paid-in-full and will only show transactions since then.
|
|
|
| · | Fixed a bug that can cause a crash when printing transactions. While this was only known to happen with the POS dialog, it could have been an issue elsewhere.
|
|
|
| · | A new hot-key, Ctrl-T, has been added which will open the last Transactions viewed (e.g. the last POS receipt, or the last reservation transactions).
|
|
|
| · | An option has been added to the Site record to hide the check in/out information on receipts. This can be used for instance to make certain sites like pavilion or hall rentals not show the check in/out times. To use this, you first need to go to Maintenance / Data Field Definitions / Sites, and enable the new field. Then go to the Site Details for the site and select the Hide option.
|
|
|
| · | An option has been added to the Park record for whether the check-out time is the next day or the same day. (If it's the same day, then receipts won't show the check-out date next to the check-out time.) While this setting is global to the park and not by site, you can add another park record and sub-divide your sites accordingly if this should only apply to certain sites.
|
|
|
| · | Confirmation letters -- there are now a few new formatting options (Maintenance / Park Setup / Confirmation letter text & options). You can set the text size for the bottom text (default is 9, but the rest of the letter is 12, so for instance you can set it to 12 to be consistent). You can choose to show only a summary of the deposit paid/balance due totals instead of the detailed list of transactions. If you choose the summary option, you can also choose to show the # adults and # children that the rate applies to. (Note that the text for the # adults and # children labels on the receipt come from the Data Field Definitions for the Reservation records.)
|
|
|
| · | Confirmation letters -- if you need to show information specific to certain sites, you can now do so. First, go to Maintenance / Data Field Definitions / Sites, and enable the new "Confirmation Text" field. Then go to the Site Details for the sites needing special text and click the "Confirmation Text" button, and enter the text. Confirmation letters for any site with this text set (non-blank) will use that site-specific text instead of the bottom text configured through Park Setup (and will also not show the signature line even if it's enabled -- so add it to your special text if needed). The other confirmation letter options from Park Setup, including the start position and font size, will still be used.
|
|
|
| · | Added a menu item under Transactions to open the last transaction (same a the Ctrl-T function)
|
|
|
| · | The Guarantee info fields for reservations and customers, and the Ref/Check# field for transactions, now use special formats for holding credit card information in addition to other text. They are also encrypted in the database, in log files and when transmitted on the network for added security.
|
|
|
| · | When a credit card is entered on the Enter Payment/Deposit or Enter Refund dialogs, the appropriate payment method will be selected if it's found (e.g. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover).
|
|
|
| · | Operator Access Levels have been added to restrict access to various credit card processing functions
|
|
|
| · | The options used in Find Customer are saved in the database, so they are remembered each time the program runs.
|
|
|
| · | Fixed so the Amount Tendered can be entered for Traveler's Check payments.
|
|
|
| · | The way the park name/address information is printed on 3" receipts using the native font has been changed to "manually" center instead of relying on the printer driver to center it. This may result in a slight difference in the alignment, but primarily was done to try to avoid double-spacing on some printers.
|
|
|
| · | A separate Credit Cards tab was added to Printing Options, with new options for showing credit card information on receipts and/or printing a separate credit card slip for the customer's signature.
|
|
|
| · | Added a POS option to automatically re-open the sales entry dialog after each completed sale (i.e. continuous POS entry, until Cancelled.)
