Choosing Code Number for the grouping will pull up the same 'By Code Number' report that the system pulled up in the past. Choosing one of the other groupings will group your items by whichever grouping you selected (Category, Classification or Supplier) as well as giving a subtotal for each group. In addition to these changes all of the Code Number Date Range Detailed Retail Reports will be sorted by the code number instead of sales volume. |
| 12/23/2005 | Added options for Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly breakdowns to the Salon Information and the Employee Information Date Range Reports with Day-By-Day Totals turned on.

| 12/22/2005 | Added the option for 'Retail Only Sales Information' to show on the Date Range -> Salon Information Report (with none of the detail options set) and the Date Range -> Employee Information Report (with Services in Detail Selected). The Retail Only Sales Information shows the number of customers, number of visits for those customers and sales total for people that only bought retail on a certain visit to the salon (in other words, people that did not have a service done on a certain day but did buy retail). |

| 11/16/2005 | Fixed a problem with the change made on 10/25/2005 where we no longer popped up the password screen when Adding and Modifying Employees. Modifying an employee was causing the employee's password settings to be cleared out. This no longer happens now. |
| 11/14/2005 | Changed the Rebook process so that the Print and Statistics buttons are hidden while rebooking. This will avoid people running on smaller screen resolutions from having the box with the Rebooking information at the top of the screen covered by these buttons. |
| 11/14/2005 | Changed the feature from 09/28/2005 for automatically adding a tip to sales so that it only adds the tip for the service total and not the customer total as it was doing originally. |
| 11/11/2005 | Fixed a problem with the copy password options that caused the password settings to copy to all employees instead of just the selected employees. |
| 11/09/2005 | Added a Regular - Lunch column to the Time Card Summary reports. This will show the regular time worked minus the lunch time. It will only be visible for people that do not show the hours and minutes on the report...in other words it will show for people that have a decimal representation such as 41.75 hours worked instead of showing 41 hours 45 minutes. |
| 11/09/2005 | Added the option to sort inventory orders by product name instead of inventory code. This can be set by going to Inventory -> Define Labels and Ordering Style. |

| 10/27/2005 | Added a Copy Password Options to the Employee Maintenance screen. This will allow you to copy the password settings (printer access and password level) from one employee to one or more other employees. You will still need to go into Employee Passwords for each employee first and set them up with their own password (the password level and printer options don't matter...just the password) and after giving them a password you can copy the options to save time. |
| 10/25/2005 | Changed the Appointment Maintenance Screen so that you can no longer type in the Appointment Starting Hour box (since typing the time into the box did not work correctly). You can pick your starting our from the drop-down list. |
| 10/25/2005 | Removed the unused Account Name and Discount Percent boxes from the Transaction Maintenance screen. |
| 10/25/2005 | Changed the Add Miscellaneous Transaction button so that hitting Save when adding a category will now pop up a box to let you know that the category has been added. |
| 10/25/2005 | Changed the Add Employee and Modify Employee buttons in Employee Maintenance so that you no longer have to fill in the employee's password in those sections. To fill in password information you can still use the Employee Passwords button. |

| 10/21/2005 | Changed the wording on the new custom password option added on 10/17/2005. It is now called Change Inventory Information instead of Modify Inventory Items. |

| 10/17/2005 | Fixed the option for Automatic Posting to QuickBooks each night. Use Accounting Setup to configure this option. After choosing the checking and payroll account, pressing Continue asks if you would like the QuickBooks to post each night. |
| 10/17/2005 | Changed the booking styles screen so that the second column for assistant booking styles (which is not used anymore) is not visible. |
| 10/17/2005 | Added the option to the custom password section to allow you to take away the ability to save changes to inventory items. You would just take away the option for Modify Inventory Item.

| 10/04/2005 | Fixed a problem with the change from 9/23/05 for the IOU's paid off during payroll. While the change on 9/23 fixed the problem that would make the daily sheet not balance correctly it created a problem that would cause the cash amount in the drawer on a given day to be incorrect. Both problems should be fixed now. |
| 09/29/2005 | Added a question to simplify adding in commissions for employees. By answering Yes to the question whether an employee receives a flat rate for both service and retail commission you can now simply type the amounts in rather than filling out the commission screen. To enter mulit-level commission or to use the advanced features you would just answer No to the question. To turn this feature off go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in SCOMM0.NO and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |

| 09/14/2005 | Changed the maximum number of retail items on each ticket from 30 to 28. This will correct the problems that some customers were having with the wrong retail price showing on the daily sheet for the last two retail items on a sale. |
| 09/12/2005 | Added new feature in the Detailed Daily Sheet when Sorting by Name the system now shows the any retail purchased by the customer. |
| 09/09/2005 | Optimized the Send Email to All Customers option. While some of the changes we've made recently will still cause it to take up to a minute or two to come up on some computers it will come up a lot faster than it had been after the Summer update. |

| 08/26/2005 | Added the option to give credit to other employees automatically based on what service is selected. An example of a situation where this would be used is where several different employees are responsible for greeting customers and getting a spa room set up for them (and are booked to do so) but credit for the service goes to the salon. After turning this option on you can set up the credit under Maintenance -> Service -> Modify Service. To turn this feature on go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in ALTCR0.SRV and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |
| 08/25/2005 | Added the option to have the program not order items if you are required to order them in bulk (items that you have a number higher than 1 in for the Unit Quantity) and you don't need the full amount being ordered. For example, if you had 8 on hand, 12 as your minimum and 6 as your unit quantity the system would not order since you don't need the full 6. If would wait until you had 6 or less on hand. To turn this feature on go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in UNIT_0.ORD and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |
| 08/24/2005 | Fixed a problem when trying to make a correction using the Detail Listing section on the Close Day screen. If you track Tips and use Tips Retained to keep the tips in the drawer then making a correction through this area would cause the system to lock up. This will now work correctly. |
| 08/24/2005 | Added the option to give credit to other employees automatically when an appointment is booked with certain employees. An example of a situation where this would be used is where there are several assistants that all have their own column in the appointment book but you want the credit for all of their services to go to one other employee. After turning this option on you can set up the credit under Maintenance -> Employee -> Modify Employee. To turn this feature on go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in ALTCR0.EMP and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |

| 07/28/2005 | Added the option to have QuickBooks information post automatically at night when the system agent runs. This option will only work if you have QuickBooks installed on the same computer that runs the system agent and only if you have already set up the posting within the SpaSalon Manager program. To turn this feature on go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in QPOST0.YES and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |
| 07/28/2005 | Made a change to hide the buttons at the top of the appointment book when moving an appointment. This will keep the label at the top from overlapping with the buttons on computers with smaller screens/display settings. |
| 07/26/2005 | Made a change so that not entering a Gift Certificate number when asked for one will not go to gift certificate number 0 - it simply will not allow you to select that gift certificate at all. |
| 07/26/2005 | Fixed a problem that could cause the days of the week to not show up along the top of the screen in Week View. |

| 07/22/2005 | Added the appointment comment to the print out of the day's packages in the appointment book. |
| 07/21/2005 | Fixed a problem that caused the Change Services/Times button on the Edit Info screen to move appointments down when the finish time of the appointment was clicked on. |
| 07/19/2005 | Fixed a problem with the new feature added on 7/13/2005 that allowed the printing of the appointment book. The Print button covered up the statistics that come up when clicking the Statistics button. The buttons have been switched so that this overlap does not happen anymore. |
| 07/19/2005 | Fixed a problem that made it impossible to credit receptionists for retail sales. |
| 07/18/2005 | Added the ability to the credit card processing so that booth rental salons can use multiple processing accounts (one for each booth renter). |
| 07/13/2005 | Added a new report called the Performance Recap. This report shows the amount of money paid to each employee in commission and compares that amount (less expenses such as health care, etc.) to their number of hours worked to give the employee's effective hourly rate. |
| 07/13/2005 | Added the ability to update the customer address/phone number information when using the Search feature in the program. The message pops up after you've clicked to Book the appointment. To turn this feature off go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in PCUST0.NO and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |
| 07/13/2005 | Added the ability to print out the current view in the appointment book. This allows you to do many things that were not possible in the past, from printing out several employees' schedules on one sheet of paper to printing out one employee's week view. Changing the Detail Level (both the number of employees to show and the number of times to show), using View Select and switching to Week View will all effect what the system prints when you click the Print button at the top of the appointment book. |
| 07/11/2005 | Fixed a problem that caused the Employee Detailed Daily Sheet to not show retail sales for employees on retail-only services. |
| 07/06/2005 | Fixed a problem that only affected salons that did not run service sales through the program. It could cause the Salon Information Date Range report to corrupt the date range database. Again, this only affects salons that have never run a service sale through the program. |
| 07/06/2005 | Fixed a problem that caused the retention totals to carry over from old employees when you replaced an employee with a new one by modifying the original employee and answering that it was not the same person under a new name. This will now correctly clear out the new employee's retention and put all old employee retention totals under one employee named "Old Employees". |
| 06/30/2005 | Fixed a problem that caused the Yes/No choices to not come up on the Email Options under Customer Display. |
| 06/30/2005 | Updated the W2 printing to allow the top margin and the spacing between the W2's to be adjustable. |
| 06/29/2005 | Added new feature to Payroll Manager. When a check is voided the corresponding Gross Pay entry is voided as well. Previously, the system did not void the Gross Pay report making the Date Range Net Payroll not match the Date Range Gross Pay. Only checks voided after the update will properly void the Gross Pay entries. |
| 06/15/2005 | Changed the headings on the Find Appointment page so that they line up on all screen resolutions. |
| 06/15/2005 | Added a custom password option to remove access to the Remove Name button on the check out screen. |
| 06/14/2005 | Changed the Cancel All and Cancel Rest options so that you may now cancel all of the appointments on a certain employee and day of the week for reserved names (NO,APPT, SCHED,OFF, etc). |
| 06/14/2005 | Added an automatic backup to the program any time someone attempts to restore a backup. This gives technical support a way to help you recover from an employee accidentally trying to restore a backup instead of trying to make one. |
| 06/13/2005 | Fixed a problem that made the program not use miscellaneous services when putting in Schedule Maintenance changes. |
| 06/13/2005 | Fixed a problem that caused the Salon,Card or a blank employee to show up on the Password Tracking report when people were accessing time cards. |
| 06/13/2005 | Updated the QuickBooks posting to increase the speed of posting. For very large salons, the system would require a considerable amount of time to post the deposits and payroll. |
| 06/10/2005 | Changed the Getting Started screen for new salons so that you don't need to log out of the program after adding employees to get those employees to show up under the other sections in Getting Started. |
| 06/07/2005 | Added the option to have employees that have already clocked in show up in green in the appointment book. This option can not be used at the same time as the Target Booking option.

| 06/03/2005 | Fixed a problem that caused people using the legal names feature in payroll to have the wrong YTD totals on the check stubs. |
| 06/03/2005 | Changed the amount of time that the program waits for Quicken to open from 1 to 3 seconds. This should help alleviate people having problems with Quicken not posting from time to time. |
| 06/03/2005 | Fixed a problem that was causing a message to appear in error at the bottom of emails saying that the message was sent using an evaluation version. |
| 05/27/2005 | Changed the subject on the New Customer emails to "A Special Thank You". |
| 05/27/2005 | Added the option to have Subtract Sale from a Previous Day corrections show up on the customer's history instead of removing the most recent matching transaction as it does currently.

| 05/24/2005 | Changed the No Show warning so that it comes up immediately after putting the customer's name in. To change this back to the way it operated originally go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in NOSHW0.ORG and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |
| 05/17/2005 | Fixed the Virginia state taxes on high income employees the state tax withheld was zero. This was an error in the Virginia tax table as setup by the Spa/Salon Manager. The table has been corrected. |
| 05/16/2005 | Fixed a problem on the checkout screen. If you clicked on a customer's IOU balance to pay it off the pay off did not register correctly. |
| 05/16/2005 | Added a Price Change Report to the Reports -> List Daily Sheets section. This report shows all sales that have had their price changed broken down by employee. |
| 05/12/2005 | Added several options to how emails will be handled by the program. These options can be set for each customer on the Customer Display screen using the Email Options button. The options for each customer are as follows: 1) The ability to not send confirmation emails, 2) The ability to force the program to have a customer still get a phone call confirmation even if they've received an email confirmation and 3) The ability to 'opt-out' of advertising emails from the salon. |
| 05/12/2005 | Added the option to show weekly totals on the Detailed Time Card report when the dates selected include more than one week. These totals will be based on Sunday-Saturday being considered a week. To turn this option on go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in TCARD0.WK and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 937-832-3969. |

| 05/05/2005 | Fixed the work tickets so that if you set the Nail Technical cards not to show in maintenance they are correctly turned off. |
| 05/05/2005 | Added the ability to have the program automatically send thank you emails to new customers after their first visit. To turn this option off go into Utility, then File Utilities.
