There is quite a lot of changes/enhancements in this release so please read to the end.
1. Creating email from lines in an Estimate, Variation, Purchase Order and a Contract Details Tab - If you wanted to get a quote or a revised quote, this release has a simple way for you to email your supplier/subbie. You can select lines you want quoted/requoted by clicking the box next to each line item then going to other functions dropdown and selecting - Create email from selected rows. Something similar to following will be produced and can be sent..
2. Contract - Contract Details tab - Deleting multiple rows. - Sometimes you may copy lines from the budget tab onto the contract tab against a subbie contract but you may not want all the lines. On the contract tab, the ability to tick the box next to the lines not required and then go to other functions and select - Delete selected rows - has been added. This function is in Purchases Orders and has been extended to Contracts.
3. Price Lists - The function has been enhanced in this version. Price Lists can now be used in Estimating, Purchase Orders and Variations. You can also now select more than 1 item at a time to added. The way the price lists work now is via a popup screen and a new button on the screen - Price List - as highlighted below. Once the items are ticked - select the Close and insert selected items button.
Note: If you tick a box next to an existing line in an Estimating, Purchase Order or Variation, the lines selected in the price list will be added below that line. If no existing line is selected, the rows will be inserted at the bottom.
4. Estimate - Get next number - If you have a number set up against an estimate template, each time you copy that template, the system will get the next number. For example, if you have a template N001 and have Estimates through to N020, if you copy N001 the next estimate number will N021.
5. Gantt Chart Enhancements - Two changes have been made to the Gantt Chart. First one is when you add a task with a dependency task attached, if you change the main task end date the dependent task start date is also changed. The second change is if you highlight a task and a add a new task, the new task is added directly under the highlighted task.
6. Estimate Detail Screen - Additional information has been added next to the Contact's name. This now includes Contact name, mobile number, email address and their address.
7. Dindo Import - Bug fix - For those who import from Dindo, at time the password was being dropped out from the System/Settings/other tab. This has been fixed in the release.
8. Sync with Accounting System - The sync has been enhanced so when it runs in the background, if will not prevent users from doing certain functions within the Buildlogic application while it is running. You would have not been able to use certain functions previously until the Sync had completed.
