Easy Time

  • When a contact has only one Trade Code, then that Trade Code will be selected by default when a Time Card line is entered for that contact.

Preventative Maintenance

  • When a Preventative Maintenance is duplicated the attached documents are now being copied across to the duplicate.
  • The Activator will now correctly generate Work Orders for records that are not displayed in the Activator Listing due to the “Listing Show Count” user option.

Regions

  • When a user adds a Trade Code “On the Fly” the Trade Code is now automatically added to the user’s Region.

  • In the Request Listing, multiple Requests can now be selected for printing.

Security

  • In the Security Setup area after you have selected a form that has “No Access” as the form security, the next form that you select will be displayed with its own form security rather than as “No Access” again.
  • The Asset field in the Request Details screen can now be made mandatory.
  • When a screen is opened, Security is now applied before the screen is displayed so that a user cannot briefly view concealed information.

Stores

  • In a Regionalised system, clicking on the “Show All Stores Items” button now shows all of the Catalogued items irrespective of the Region that they belong to.
  • When a catalogued item is transferred to another store, the “Stock on Hand” quantity for the item is now displayed correctly without the Catalogue Listing needing to be refreshed.
  • When issuing a catalogue item using the Issue/Return screen, a valid Work Order Number can now be typed directly into the “Work Order” field instead of using the Work Order Selector.
