| New Features - Build 1 | ||
| 1. ConnectWise 2015.1 is now supported! | ||
| 2. There is now an 'Opportunities' Dashboard in QuoteWerks. The information displayed on this dashboard will be read in real-time from the quotes in the QuoteWerks database, which is the original source of the opportunity information so it will always be accurate, up-to-date, and instant. This dashboard will enable you to automatically track opportunities and quota achievement at the individual or company level. Gain insight into quarterly progress, various stages of quotes, top selling products, and more! The Opportunities Dashboard is only available in the Professional and Corporate Editions of QuoteWerks. | ||
| 3. You can now set a Monthly Sales Quota Amount per sales rep on the Sales tab of the User properties window. This is used in the MySummary and Opportunities Dashboards. The UserProperties "Commissions" tab has been renamed to "Sales". | ||
| 4. The MySummary Dashboard has been updated to include a "Quota bar" that shows sales statistics relating to the logged in user's sales quota. | ||
| 5. Multiple Product Database Search. You can now do a product search across multiple product databases. This will search all selected product databases including native product databases, and external product data sources like SQL, OLEDB, Autotask, ConnectWise, salesforce.com, QuickBooks, etc | ||
| 6. QuoteWerks now has built-in lease payment calculation support. You can very easily offer your customer the option to lease the quote. QuoteWerks makes it effortless to give the customer multiple lease choices such as 12 months, 36 months, FMV purchase, $1 buyout, 0/1 upfront payment, etc. As the quote total changes, the lease payments automatically re-calculate! All leasing companies are supported, simply enter your leasing companies lease rate factor data into QuoteWerks. When quote is delivered using QuoteValet, as the customer changes options, the lease payments are automatically re-calculated to reflect the new quote total. Through QuoteValet the customer can choose to purchase the quote outright or can choose a leasing option. There are many options, such as whether or not to include sales tax or not.
| ||
| 7. QuoteWerks now supports a real-time leasing integration with GreatAmerica Financial Services. Offer leasing options to your customers without leaving QuoteWerks! Real-time module is required. On the Sale Info tab, just choose the [Add Lease payment Options] button in the Payment Options frame. Once you select your GreatAmerica lease card, the real-time query to GreatAmerica will enable you to see all the lease options available from GreatAmerica such as terms, advance payments, points, and purchase options. Just select the combinations of options you would like to see and GreatAmerica provides all the iterations of those combinations. Once you've had a chance to see them, you can choose which ones you would like to offer to your customer. | ||
| 8. Dell Integration. The QuoteWerks Dell integration enables Dell Premier Partners with Punchout credentials, to import Dell order Requestions from the Dell Premier portal, and place electronic orders. You can initiate a new Dell order requisition from within QuoteWerks, choose items on the Dell website (or select a quote your Dell sales rep created for you), and then import those items into the QuoteWerks quote. Later, QuoteWerks can order those items electronically through Dell. | ||
| 9. Auto-Links feature on the Links tab. Use dynamically generated auto-links to quickly navigate to entities linked to your quote like contacts, opportunities, tickets, and activities. Especially useful for tickets since QuoteWerks may generate for example, 5 tickets, in your PSA and now you can quickly navigate to them using QuoteWerks. Examples of links are: Links to view the SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo contacts in Act! for Web, Autotask, ConnectWise, GoldMine, MS CRM, and salesforce.com. Links to view the opportunity in salesforce.com, MS CRM, and Autotask. Links to view the call activity in MS CRM. Links to view the tickets in ConnectWise. In ConnectWise 2015.1 and higher, links to view the contact, activity, and opportunity. | ||
| 10. Payment options feature on the Sale Info tab. You can give you customer the choice to pay by Terms or by Credit Card. This is especially useful for QuoteValet users, if you specify any payment options and Credit Card is not included in the list of payment options, then when the quote is accepted through QuoteValet, your customer will not be presented with the option to pay by credit card. You can set defaultpayment options to be used in all new quotes under the Payment tab of the Tools->Options menu. | ||

| 13. QuoteWerks URL redirector. The web browser "quotewerks:" protocol handler is a great way to automate QuoteWerks actions from a web browser hyperlink. Not following standards, some CRMs have started requiring that all custom URL hyperlinks start with "http://" or "https://". To address this, we now have a QuoteWerks URL redirector. Instead of starting the URL with "quotewerks://quotebutton?" you can now instead use "https://www.qwcontent.com/QuoteWerksURLProtocolRedirector.aspx?RedirectorAction=quotebutton" | ||

If you already had a version of QuoteWerks installed prior to updating to QuoteWerks v4.7 Build, then the existing database would have been correctly upgraded to the proper 255 char size. | ||

| 28. For QuickBooks users, the creation and updating of Customers and Jobs has been enhanced allowing for better support of using QuickBooks as the contact manager and selecting a CustomerJob like "Aspire Technologies:Server Upgrade". Previously QuoteWerks attempted to update the Job's address fields with the CustomerJob name like "Aspire Technologies:Server Upgrade" which depending upon the combined length of the customer and job would be larger than the QuickBooks 41 character address line causing an issue. Now it will just use the Customer portion of the CustomerJob combination. When the "If the customer does exist=Update" option is set, then if the quote refers to a job then the job will be updated, not the customer.
