10/19/18 Added new feature to the Payroll Calculation to have a service charge based upon the department of the service. This feature allows services within a specific service department to have an additional service charge associated with them. This could be used for hair extensions say that the normal commission is 45% and on extension service you'd like 30%. This feature allows a service charge of 15% to be setup for the department Extensions.  Service charges by Department setup is under Maintenance -> Service Commission -> Service Charges -> Service Charges By Department.
10/15/18 Fixed a problem that could cause pictures to not show up in outgoing emails. This only effected customers that were updated within the last week.
10/15/18 Fixed a problem that caused the first line of the Find Appointment emails to not show up.
10/5/18 Streamlined and simplified the Pre-Booking Report under Reports -> Owner Reports -> Date Range Reports. The new version defaults to showing the service provider version of the report for all customers except those marked as Models or Out of Town customers. It also removes several pieces of information from the report to show just the number of pre-bookings, the customer count, and the resulting pre-booking percentage. To go back to the old version of the report go to Utility, then File Utilities.  In the File Name box, type in PreBk0.Det and click Create.  If you need help with these steps, please call us at 800-682-2998.
10/5/18 Added a Service Pricing by History button to the Service Maintenance screen to allow businesses to turn on or off the option to have customers charged the same price they were charged the last time they came to an employee for a service rather than the system charging the price set up in maintenance.
10/4/18 Updated the Aveda product list for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line.
09/25/18 Added a new button to Paging called Sticky Note Alerts. This button allows you to select employees to receive a notification through the Paging system any time certain selected Sticky Notes pop up. Along with this we added a new checkbox to the Sticky Note screen that says Send Alerts to indicate that specific sticky note should trigger those notifications.
09/14/18 Added an option to the Schedule Maintenance to block times off even if the employee does not normally work. This could be useful for something like a meeting that you want people to have on their book even though they don't normally work at that time.
09/11/18 Added the ability when exporting a report to paste the report to your desktop or other location on your computer instead of sending the file as an email. For Cloud customers you would just have to minimize the program after exporting the file, go to the location you'd like to store the exported file, right-click there and click Paste.
09/06/18 Fixed a problem with the backup feature for separate backups for each day of the week that caused the weekly backup to go to a separate backup file instead of being part of the main backup.
08/31/18 Payroll now as the option to create an ACH file for check deposits. I created the option for our salon which now saves me about an hour each week for payroll between printing 20 checks, signing and putting them in an envelope. This feature requires setup and the ability to submit ACH files to your bank. Due to the time required to setup and implement the ACH files a one time fee of $500 is charged for this option.
08/31/18 Updated the Aveda product list for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line.
08/27/18 Fixed an issue that could cause the old version of the file transfer for nightly backups to run when it was not turned on instead of the new version.
