RELEASE DATE 20th OCTOBER 2007
Welcome to
the latest release of myworkspace. You will find a listing below of
new features and enhancements.
Core
- [New] Support - In the Support area (in the
footer area of the screen) you will now see an ever changing set of
support tips. The tips displayed are in context to the applications you
have subscribed to.
- [New] Data Export - Export data by relationship
manager. We have created the functionality (currently only accessible
by myworkspace support team) to export data from one system into
another based on relationship manager.
- [New] Person - Extra fields of information are
now available on the Person form. We have created the ability for a
business to create their own specific data fields that can be added to
the person contact details in a new tab. This is done through the survey
tool and for this first release has to be set up by the myworkspace
support team. The fields can be text fields or drop down fields (the
contents of which can be determined by the business). In this first
release there are no reporting tools, but data can start to be
recorded.
- [New] Diary - You can now define the colours
that are used in the diary for actions based on action type. You can
determine what the background colour is that appears in the calendar
view as well as what the text colour is. This is for the entire
business. If you make a change for a particular action type and decide
you want it to go back you can revert back to the system defaults. And
please note that once you set the text colour for a particular action
type you will no longer see any difference between a completed /
cancelled or not started action.
- [Update] Diary - The action
types form also now shows which action types show in the diary or not.
- [Update] Data Usage
Attachments - We have given businesses the ability to delete attachments
straight from the Data Usage screen. This is accessible from My Profile,
My System Profile, System Details, Data usage then click on Attachments
link. You can click in the check box next to the attachments you want
permanently deleted and then click on the Delete button.
- [Update] Message Templates
- When you send an email using a message template (My Profile, Add /
Manage Message Templates) the email signature of the logged on person is
now added to the email.
- [New] Message Templates - You can also now
attach files to a message template so that when you use this template,
the attachment(s) also get sent.
- [New] Website - Request (question 2 of website
setup) now enables you to select a message template as well. The person
coming to your website and requesting more information will get some
text displayed on the website (set up in Question 2) and will then also
be sent the message template email with any attachments.
- [Update] Email - When
selecting recipients for an email, the list of your favourite people are
now in alpha order.
- [New] Newsletter - You can now send an
attachment easily with an e-newsletter.
- [Update] Products - The
Cost of Goods sold report in the Products area has been updated to make
the Category field mandatory prior to running the report.
- [Update] Products - The
Bulk Price Update screen has also been updated to make the category
field mandatory prior to displaying the product prices.
- [New] Projects - There is now the ability to
view tasks relating to the same project in a project timeline view
(GANTT Chart). There is a new link at the top of a project record which
displays a line per project task with the start date and scheduled end
date creating the length of the timeline.
- [New] Website - A business can now have
multiple websites linked to their business. This has been implemented to
assist businesses to update their website, they can have a LIVE version
of their website and a second version which they are updating /
modifying. It could also be used however to have totally different
websites for different parts of the business. Each website can have a
different domain name pointing to it.
- [New] Support - there is now the ability to
send a customer issue to another advisor from within an issue in your
system (ie a customer can log an issue with you and you can then log it
with another advisor). This is a new option in the drop down on the
Customer Issue.
- [New] Support - It is also possible to set a
particular advisor to your business as only viewable by System
Administrators. This ensures that only system administrators within your
business are able to forward an issue to certain other advisors.
- [New] Documents - There is now an advanced
Document search. This is accessible via the Documents Home page.
- [Update] General - The way
grids are handled in the system has changed over the past month. When
you click on Next or Show All it now refreshes just the grid component
on the screen rather than going to a new screen (ensuring the report
headings remain).
- [Update] Opportunities - On
the Opportunity form the 'Start Date' field has been changed to be
called the 'Close Date' ie the expected close date of the sale.
- [Update] Person Search -
You can now select options 'is empty' or 'is not empty' in the person
advanced searches for the email field. This can quickly and easily help
you find contacts in your system that do or don't have email addresses.
- [Update] Documents - In the
Document Browser, when you click on a document now it shows the actual
document in 'view' mode. You need to click on the EDIT button (over on
the right) to go into 'edit' mode.
- [Update] Messenger
- conversations now have the ability to set up automatic email and
/ or sms alerts when somebody contributes to the conversation. And
you can specify a conversation to be a favourite for quick posting of
comments via the box at the bottom right of your
screen!
- [New] Website - In website content
management/development area, it is now possible to have two
different type of links to the Request for Information page. One is
'Advanced', which asks for their mailing address and where they heard
about you and whether they want to join up to receive your newsletter.
The other is 'Suggestion' and allows people to enter in some suggestions
via your website.
- [New] Documents - Displaying documents on your
website - you can now create a specific URL for a document (on the
sharing tab in the document) so that somebody could go straight to that
document within your website. A very basic example is http://mywebsite.com.au/specialoffer
Accounting/Financials
- [Update] When linking an
invoice to a receipt, or an expense to a payment, the lookup form now
shows whether the invoice or expense has been part paid. The lookup form
also allows you to filter by area (for those businesses that segment
their business by area.
- [Update] When an invoice is
created from an order the line item now has the description in the
following format:
[Qty] [Stock Unit eg kg, unit, box from product
file] x [Product Description] @ [Unit Cost] per [Stock Unit]
- [New] There is a new profile item in Financial
Profile, in the Other tab that allows a business to specify whether
their quick financial searches (from main header or on the financial
home page) also looks at the person name, not just the reference number
and business name. This defaults to 'No' and should only be changed for
businesses that deal predominantly with individuals.
- [Update] When copying an
action, the billable status field is also being copied across to the new
action.
- [Update] Pay Assistant
- on the pay period payments grid it now shows the number of pay
periods this person is being paid for. This enables tax withheld
to take into account advance payments of annual leave, back pay,
etc.
- [Update] We have updated
the employee advanced search to include aditional fields.
- [Update] You can now
produce a statement from the Person Summary 'Debtor' tab and includes
invoices that are only made out to a person not just a business &/or
Person.
- [New] You can now produce an electronic file
that you can upload to your bank to pay your payroll. There are a few
settings required to make this work correctly so please contact your
myworkspace support for further details.
- [Update] The P&L and Balance Sheet
now display any non postable financial accounts (used in the chart
of accounts as headings).
Financial Services
- [Update] There are now even
more restrictions in place when you delete a person's contact records -
it now checks whether this person is associated to a financial services
record (ie policy, investment or loan) in the capacity of the main
customer, an interested party, an advisor or
referrer.
