Changes implemented

| · | Changed the Help format to HTML Help (.CHM), which is required for Windows Vista. The functionality of Help won't change much but it will look different, with a tree view of the topics shown along the left side. Note that Windows 95 users may need to update Windows Explorer in order to use the new help.
|
|
|
| · | Added functions to show the current database location and to move the database to a "safe" location under Windows XP and Vista (Shared Documents or Public Documents). See Maintenance / Database Maintenance for these functions.
|
|
|
| · | Moved the default location of new databases under Windows XP and Vista (to Shared Documents or Public Documents), to avoid user access problems. The "Campground Master.ini" file is moved automatically. To move an existing database, see the function added above.
|
|
|
| · | Purge Old data -- this has been reworked to avoid "lockup" problems when trying to purge too many records without sufficient memory. It will now do it in small increments, writing out the logs and synchronizing to networked computers after each step so there is no memory problem. Additional prompts and progress indications have been added so you know what it's doing.
|
|
|
| · | Credit card numbers are now masked after they are entered, for security (e.g. in Guarantee info and when making subsequent payments). The masking is based on access levels, with Administrator level required to see the unmasked number in most places, and Manager level needed to see the number for the Guarantee info. These settings are adjustable in the Access Levels setup.
|
|
|
| · | Due to the masking above, the Guarantee Info line cannot be directly edited when it's masked -- use the "..." button to edit guarantee info if needed.
|
|
|
| · | Payment entry -- Disabled the Amount Tendered field for payment methods of check or traveller's check, since any change back would be in a different form (e.g. cash), and must be entered separately as a Refund transaction.
|
|
|
| · | New Reservations -- Added a "Linking" mode option, with a default setting. This is primarily so that multiple non-synchronized reservations can be made easily without having to uncheck "synchronized" for each site or changing them all later. It's also possible to make multiple reservations (for the same person) that are not linked at all.
|
|
|
| · | Transactions tab view, More Filters -- Added a "Reset all but dates" button so that the erst of the filter can be reset without changing the date range already selected.
|
|
|
| · | Transactions tab view, Detail Options -- added a button to reset to detail view / all transactions, which takes it back to the default details-mode view with no filtering.
|
|
|
| · | Online Reservations / SMTP setup (for confirmation letters) -- the SMTP settings can now be configured separately for each computer, which allows for remote computers that need to use different SMTP servers.
|
|
|
| · | Added a "Copies" setting for credit card slips so multiple copies of the credit card slip can be printed at automatically. See Printing Options / Credit Cards.
|
|
|
| · | Added an option to automatically print a receipt when a payment is made to a reservation, optionally just for credit card payments. This is an alternative to setting the credit card slip copies to 2, since the credit card slips don't have much detail on them. See Program Options / Reservations for this option.
|
|
|
| · | Occupancy report, Availability report, etc. - Added options for "Use filtering" and "Save filtering for next time", which are not set by default (previously it would always save the filter and always use it the next time). This should solve the problem a lot of people have with it keeping the last filter settings when they don't want it to, resulting it incorrect and confusing reports.
|
|
|
| · | Monthly Billing now keeps track of the reservations that charges have been added to (during the current session), so that even if they drop off the list due to being paid in advance then they will still be printed.
|
|
|
| · | Added right-click menu functions to most tab views to print customer receipts (before only reservation receipts could be printed).
|
|
|
| · | Added an "Exclude warning-flag customers" option to the customer mailing label / envelope / form printing functions.
|
|
|
| · | Added Access Level settings for Assign Site and Change Site, so these can be disabled when needed (previously these were always allowed by Reservations level operators).
|
|
|
| · | Zip codes / Postal codes database has been updated
|
|
|
| · | Added parameters to the expression functions PrintFormForRecord() and PrintFormForThisList() so that some transactions only can be printed instead of all transactions.
|
|
|
| · | Use the Data Field Definition settings for customer first/last name fields on the tab view column headings and Customer/Reservation dialogs, so that these fields can be renamed.
|
|
|
| · | Data Field Definitions -- added an option to show the field types. While they can't be changed, this is helpful when adding custom fields, to see what field types are used.
|
|
|
| · | Added FileExists and DeleteFile functions for Expressions (Advanced Customizations).
