I do understand that change is often times difficult and does require an investment of time; time spent by development staff, tech support and all of you, the end users. My primary goal has always been, and will continue to be, to deliver a superior, easy-to-use solution that continues to evolve your needs. My life work is Manager software and I work for you. Below listing details changes included in version 7.0.5.
Kind Regards,

V 7.0.5
- Scheduler Enhancements:
Window now remembers size/position/maximized state for each user

Added Scheduled Hours to Scheduler Appointment and Shop Event tab
'Sched Hours' uses your configured business hours, as well as holidays, to calculate how many actual shop hours each appointment uses. Matches value as in Appointment Editor.
