Manager SE 8.2.1 Release - Sept 2020

Post by timbre4 »

Hi folks, just a quick note to let you know we now have Manager SE 8.2.1 in beta and should begin tasking soon. It will be small groups starting out as usual and picking up speed as we continue distribution. We will also provide the early SE 8.2.1 update access via Help - Check For Updates once we know all is well with the release. In the meantime, here's the What's New release notes:

• New setting (Default Setting tab) to always prompt when emailing and customer has multiple email addresses
• MPI Sharing template changed to require more than just a MPI URL - reduce likelihood of carrier flagging message as SPAM
• Text Message center updated to include support for Canadian phone numbers
• New setting to customize and automatically change Order status or Appointment status when the other changes. Setup->Standard Descriptions->Status->Status Map
• Email field on customer screen can be directly edited when first setting up a customer. Afterwards, must utilize the email editor dialog to add/remove additional email addresses
• Report Changes:
>> Can now assign report password (in Report/Printer Setup) to control access to online reports
>> New MPI usage report: Reports->Management->Multi-Point Inspection Usage. Shows number of MPI reports done, passed/failed items, as well as order totals tied to MPIs.
>> Category Profit report now shows negative part / labor amounts
>> Mail Merge report now includes VIN
>> Balance Due Statement DblVue #9 updated to show correct page count
>> Michigan Invoice Report updated to meet state requirements
• Configurable Database Validations (Configuration->Special Maintenance->Database backups and validations) - checks and warns for problems in database that can lead to data corruption. Issues encountered will require technical support.
• Fixes:
>> Removed extraneous Backups during application updates causing large backup file
>> Settings sometimes not saving during program usage. Settings will be correctly saved now - should make all main Setup Settings changes while on the main background screen. Settings will refresh when you open a Repair Order
>> Scheduler refreshing and appointment loading speed improved
>> Canned Jobs search no longer crashes when encountering invalid description value
>> Fix various issues related to saving dates when Windows system locale set to other than US format
>> Fixed crash when going to electronics parts ordering and a previously selected vendor no longer exists
>> When decoding a VIN, any values entered in Unit#, Color, and Memo remain - no longer clear
>> Prevent large database backup size caused by updating DMV data
