Manager SE 8.0 Release Timing?

Post by sbebenelli »

Curious when info about Manager SE 8.0 will be available. Is ProSpect the only new feature?

The release date for Manager SE 8.0 / ProSpect is today NOV 26th. We will begin tasking customers soon. Stand by for m1files early bird link, we are transitioning the site so this won't appear for a bit. ProSpect is the main item with the SE 8.0 release as much of the other items were delivered with SE 7.5. A number of ProSpect related items (screen enhancements) are shown in the list as well as the important bug fix for the printing with mileage issue.

Thank you. Can you post here what the cost will be for ProSpect or do I need to call?

I'm glad the printing with mileage bug is getting fixed!

What's the status of this? I'm more in a hurry to get the mileage bug fixed.

The link to the 8.0 update is now in the upper-right corner of this forum.

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.

Just to clarify, going to 8.0 is free, but is needed to use "ProSpect", which has a month additional cost. Correct?

That is correct. Do you see the link for the update? I do not have it on my end.

That is correct, Rich. We don't currently plan to distribute 8.0.0 as a general release, but rather going to customers that add ProSpect. We're working on an 8.0.1 version with a few more quality-of-life improvements (including a complete fix on the odometer validation issue and easier text notification controls) that will be released to all.

Can you tell me if https://www.managerforum.net/viewtopic. ... 395#p99395 is in 8.0.0 or will it be in 8.0.1 if not in either one can we get a bug fix?

Installed version 8.0 at 3 shops on over 12 computers - Went flawlessly and fast. anxiously awaiting ProSepect for Android as we have over 20 Android Tablets. Not making investment in Apple platform.

Dan, we did not make any changes to that area for these releases.

When trying to update, I get an error saying "The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program."
