Good to see you there!

We’ve got some exciting updates to share with you this week, all designed to make your experience smoother and more efficient.

  • We've added a new toggle - Default new orders to tax free - in Sales > Customers > Settings tab. This lets you easily enable or disable tax for new Sales Orders
  • You can now remove the Required Date on Sales Orders. Simply go to Sales > Sales Orders, select a Sales Order, and click the "x" next to Required Date field to remove it
  • For customers integrated with MYOB, we've added Create new job option to MYOB Jobs dropdown located in a Sales Order, next to each Line Item. There's also a Refresh Jobs button for easily updating the job details
  • Users can now create On The Fly Kits within a Sales Order by selecting Add product > Product Kit
  • There's a new option in Settings > Sales called Display kits as minimised by default. If enabled, when a Kit is added to a Sales Order, the Products within the Kit will automatically collapse, giving you a cleaner and more organised view
  • Aside from users with Administrator access, those with Power User access can now modify Planner Settings in Productivity > Planner > Planner Settings (gear icon) and Workflow Settings in Productivity > Workflow > Workflow Settings (gear icon)
  • The Standard User (No Pricing) role can now access Workflow with the same permissions as the Standard User role.
  • Standard User, Standard User (No Invoicing), and Standard User (No Pricing) can now schedule work, add custom Planner entries and delete timeslots in Productivity > Planner.

In addition, here are a few more tweaks to improve your experience:

  • Invitations sent via email on mobile have been adjusted for better responsiveness on both Android and iOS.
  • Deleted Team members are now automatically removed from the Timesheet Manager page
  • The attribute column field with an empty value in Product Catalogue > Products is now retained when generating PDFs.
  • Global search has been improved and now supports searching for special characters, making it easier to find exactly what you're looking for.

We hope these updates make your experience smoother and more efficient. Stay tuned for more next week!
