8.3.1 Update Questions

Post by Prestige1 »

I haven't seen anyone pop up and I apologize If i'm in the wrong spot, I wasn't sure where I needed to post this.

Questions on the newest update, and I'm sure I'll have more after I fully read through the update notes.
1. Lets say we manually download the newest update, If we have 4 computers and download it on 1 will it update all of them? Or just one? I was hoping to download it on just mine before integrating it on the other 3. So I would be able to answer questions after they came up.
2. Has there been any issues with the integration between Mitchell and Quickbooks for this one? I saw there was an issue with the 8.2.2 interim update.

You need to manually update the host first. Then each workstation one at a time. Workstations on previous versions will not function until updated.

I know of no issues with integrator, but I am not using it.

Speaking of the recent updates, can someone help me understand the theory of changing the beginning set point when opening the Apply Payments window - why was it reset for History instead of how it was with Payment type.

I second this - it takes quite a few tabs to get back to the payment type.

This was not an intentional change, but rather a byproduct of re-working that window to support saved credit cards. Thanks for reporting it. I'll record an item to set the opening focus back to the payment type.

I have been waiting for this and hoping it would develop. Thanks for this added feature. With all the inventory we carry here, it is a very welcome addition.

When will we see the integration with the Fleet vendors, IE. ARI, Auto Integrate? I have been looking forward to not having to type duplicates of work orders. I have mine all set up but it gives me an error when I click the "online" box. The drop down menu vendor type box is nonexistent but required.

We're still in the early stages of working with various vendors regarding integrations. We're certainly looking forward to getting those going too.

It wouldn't hurt to voice the desire for integration to those vendors as well. :wink:
