It's there. Some display versions hide the link. Try another display theme.

I use the dark scheme and it does not display. I logged out and it was there.

Not to my knowledge. ProSpect appears to be a simpler/less expensive mobile platform option. It has fewer features and a lower price point.

Basically Yes.... Seems to have similar features too... will be integrated directly with Mitchell Application.... And significant cheaper.... We are making the move as soon as Android compatibility is out early next year.

Please note: the odometer validation/history issue is fixed for invoice validations, but can still occur with other order phases. We're addressing it now for all order phases.
When trying to update, I get an error saying "The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program."
This was fixed; try it now.

Not at this time; we will offer both to our customers so they may decide which suits them best on cost/benefits.

Any update on this one? I've tested on 8.0.0 and I guess it was for "other order phases", didn't work in my test case. :(

Dan,

Yes, 8.0.1 should be ready in a couple of weeks. That should fix the validation in all phases. As usual, we'll keep you all update here on the forum when the new version is available.

Good! This issue is a pain in the rear.

Yes. There are three improvements for texting based on feedback from our users.
  • A main toolbar button to open the MessageCenter All Conversations window has been added. This includes a visual indicator/counter for the number of unread messages
    The insert of the Service Writer value for the templates has been corrected to be First Name Last Name. Not Last, First
    A data column for the last contact has been added to the All Conversations tab, which will allow for quick sorting by the last message time and date

Thank you! Those are the enhancements I was hoping for.

Did the mileage warning get fixed so you can print mileage when looking up history invoices?
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Yes, the complete fix for validation prompts when printing from history is in this version.

Cool, always had to do the work around to get it. Took a while

Are we getting close to the 8.0.1 release? I'm running into a problem with text. A few times a customer has sent a text weeks after they picked their vehicle up asking questions but I have no idea they sent it. Sounds like 8.0.1 will fix this issue.
