184. The times stored in the QuoteWerks databases and dtf files were always stored in the local time. Starting with v23 the date/time values (including the AddOnDate01) stored in the database will always be stored in UTC time. For most users they will not have to do anything differently. If you externally read or write to the QuoteWerks database directly you will need to account for this change in UTC time. If you use the QuoteWerks API, when reading a value it will be in local time, and you can pass local time into the API, the conversion to UTC only happens at the instant of the time value being saved into the database. In the v6.0 upgrade all time values in the databases will be changed from local to UTC.
[Build: 1.03] | |
185. The CustomDate fields could store a time component, but when exiting the field, QuoteWerks would always format as a date, stripping out the time. Now, if there is a time component in the CustomDate, it will be preserved. [Build: 1.03] | |

The file name will contain the data type and the time in UTC 24 hour format. For a SQL backend, the backup feature for contact and vendors import now stores the backup data in the \Backups folder as (described above ) which is in a different location and format that previously used. If is the Access backend, the backup is saved as contacts.b01, vendors.b01, etc. [Build: 1.03] | |

This is especially useful, for example, to insert a picture of a sales special in your layouts, and you can make one change and the sales special image will change in all the layouts that it was used in. Can also be used for displaying pictures of Awards, Events, Graphical Tag lines, a picture of your business location, and more. [Build: 1.09] | |

227. On the Print Preview window when choosing to Save as PDF, it used to display a simple file selection dialog, now the SaveFile dialog is displayed giving you more save options. [Build: 3.16] | |
228. The SaveFile Dialog has a new "[] Append subfolder" option. You can configure this subfolder on the Misc tab of Tools->Options, under "Save File Dialog Append SubFolder". When saving a file on the FileSave dialog, the Append Subfolder option will be generated using this macro. Macros support enables this file name to be different based on information in the document like &DH_SoldToCompany or &SoldToCompany\&DH_DocType. Since the full path is concatenated with these options there is now a preview of the full path on this dialog. Also this dialog will now auto-create any specified folder path if it does not exist. There is also a new option under the Misc.General tab of Tools->My Preferences "Save File Dialog Append SubFolder". When set this will default the "Append" checkbox to checked on the SaveFile Dialog. [Build: 3.16] | |
229. For ConnectWise Manage users, when converting from Quote to Order if you are using ConnectWise Manage as a Secondary CRM, and on the Settings tab of the ConnectWise Setup, the "Display Export to ConnectWise window on each Save" option is set, the Export to ConnectWise window will now appear after the conversion to order.

The whole concept of SoldToAddress1,2,3 individual fields was a QuoteWerks design. Most CRMs would just have a single SoldToAddress with multiple line data in it, so the protocol handler supported passing in a &SoldToAddress and then it would parse out multiple lines. Now you can specify which lines you would like the address data to go to individually. [Build: 3.16] | |
239. For QuoteValet users, when a quote has been accepted by the customer and you make changes to it, the messages that warns you that QuoteValet will not be updated with these changes now has an option on the dialog of "Don't show me this message again.".

250. On the SaveFile dialog when saving a PDF from the Preview window, the "Attach to CRM" file title will now automatically change to match the File name (minus the file extension) if you start manually changing the file name on this window. [Build: 3.21] | |
251. For Autotask users, Autotask is sunsetting the SOAP API, which required a a complete rewrite of the entire Autototask integration to use their newer REST API. [Build: 3.21] | |

[Build: 3.21] | |
Version 5.7 Build 2 (released April 7, 2022) | |
253. AutoRecover has replaced AutoSave. AutoRecover and AutoSave are both ways to prevent loss of your in-progress work due to a variety of reasons including power loss, computer lock ups, network disconnect, SQL server timing out, etc. AutoSave permanently saves any changes you make to your document as you are making the changes. The downside of this is that you can't open up a document and just make some "hypothetical" or "what-if" to see what it looks like because the AutoSave just made those changes permanent. Also, often we want to open up an existing document, make changes and then just save those changes as a new document, but you can't do that with AutoSave either because it just made those changes permanent to the original existing document. AutoRecover is a superior solution. It just quietly saves a temporary backup of your in-progress work. If you choose not to save the changes, or just close the document, it discards those changes. If QuoteWerks quit unexpectedly for the above reasons, then when you re-launch QuoteWerks it will ask you if you want to recover the in-progress changes. Additionally, AutoRecover has been implemented when the feature to "Terminate Running Instance" is used. Previously it would save copies of all quotes that were open on the terminated instance. Now it just creates AutoRecover documents for them all. If AutoRecover sounds amazing, its because it is! Microsoft Word Desktop has had an AutoRecover feature for decades. For Developers, the addition of AutoRecover will require some changes. The AutoRecover document is stored in the DocumentHeaders and DocumentItems tables just like a regular document, however there is a new DocumentHeaders.IsAutoRecoverDocForDocRecGUID field. If this field is populated then this is an AutoRecover document. If querying the database you will want to make sure that you filter these documents out with IsAutoRecoverDocForDocRecGUID=''. In fact, when looking for documents you will aready want to apply the filter of TemplateType=0 AND Superceeded=0 AND IsAutoRecoverDocForDocRecGUID='' so that the query excludes templates, superseded documents and AutoRecover documents. We also renamed UserSettings KeyName='EnableAutoSave' to KeyName='AutoRecoverEnabled' and UserSettings KeyName='AutoSaveInterval' to KeyName='AutoRecoverInterval'.Also, since an AutoRecover can replace the previously saved document, changing the DocumentHeaders.ID value, it is recommended to query a specific document based on the DocumentHeaders.RecGUID. [Build: 2.11] | |
254. For QuoteValet payment users, Stripe Checkout is now supported! Stripe Checkout differs from our standard Stripe Payments integration in that the customer is redirected to Stripe's own servers during the payment process. This offloading to Stripe ensures compliance across a full range of European regulatory requirements (PSD, PSD2, SCA, 3DS, 3DS2 etc). Setup requires only a few additional steps beyond the standard Stripe configuration (including adding a Webhook entry in Stripe's Dashboard and then pasting the corresponding signing secret into the Payment Setup in QuoteWerks). [Build: 2.11] | |
255. POItems now have Custom fields that you can populate with information pulled from the quote. They are poiCustomText01, poiCustomText02, poiCustomText03, poiCustomText04, poiCustomText05, poiCustomNumber01, poiCustomNumber02, poiCustomMemo01, and poiCustomDate01. You can map which information gets copied into these fields from the Purchasing tab of the Tools->Options menu. Supports &DH_, &DH_, &APP_, and &SYS_ macros. It does not support &DH_&XXX or &DI_&XXX macros. [Build: 2.11] | |

266. On the Print Preview window, if the user requires approval to "SavePDF", then when selecting the "Attach to CRM" action, this approval will be required before you can perform the "Attach to CRM" action. [Build: 2.11] | |
267. When creating a Purchase Order in QuickBooks Online, If the Checkbox is not checked to use the QuoteWerks Vendor Maintenance Email Address for the Vendor in the QuoteWerks QuickBooks Online setup, the Primary Email Address for the Vendor/supplier in QuickBooks Online will be used. This mimics the behavior when manually creating a Purchase Order for a Vendor / Supplier in QuickBooks Online. Prior to this change, the email address would be blank if the checkbox was not checked. [Build: 2.11] | |
268. For QuickBooks Online users, when creating a new Item in QuickBooks Online (In addition to just the Purchase Order), the PO Description / Purchasing Description mapping set in the QuickBooks Online Settings window will be used for the Purchasing Description if the mapped field is different than the Description Field mapping. [Build: 2.11] | |
269. Expansion of PrintTime macros. When printing from a layout or a word document, you can use macros like &DH_SoldToCompany in the IntroductionNotes, ClosingNotes, PurchasingNotes, InternalNotes, and DynamicNotes fields that will be replaced with their actual values in the print output only. Now you can also use the PrintTime macros in the CustomText01-CustomText28 and CustomMemo01-CustomMemo04 fields. [Build: 2.11] | |
270. For Peachtree users, on the Export to Peachtree window, clicking on the DocDate column will now sort by date. [Build: 2.11] | |
271. For VendorRFQ users, when clicking on the [Update] button on the Product Sourcing Panel when a VendorRFQ vendor is selected, you will now be prompted if you want to just update the line item with the current price from the selected RFQ vendor, or if you want to do that and also award the vendor the bid which closes out the bidding for all the other RFQ vendors. [Build: 2.11] | |
272. In the Settings Manager, you can now highlight and copy text from the Section Name and Key Name text boxes when editing/viewing a setting. All the text boxes are now wider as well.
[Build: 2.11] | |
273. The Tools->Refresh Item Details now supports updating the UnitCost, UnitPrice, UnitList, CostModifier, and PriceModifier fields. When updating these fields from the Refresh Item Details window, you have more advanced control over the pricing fields as opposed to the Get Latest Pricing feature. When using Refresh Item details, if you update the Price, the PriceModifier will be cleared just like when you manually enter a price in the line item through the Document Items grid. Same for the Cost and CostModifier. There is an option "[] Display Adjust Price Dialog if cost is changed" which will give you a chance to apply a UnitCost change and also determine the UnitPrice should be affected if the UnitPrice was being calculated by a PriceModifier. Using Refresh Item Details, it simply updates individual specified fields without any regard to the relationships between these Pricing fields. In contrast, the Refresh item w/Latest Pricing behaves differently depending upon if there is a CostModifier and/or PriceModifier. If there is no PriceModifier, then it will update all the pricing fields including the UnitCost, UnitPrice, and UnitList fields, however if there is a Price Modifier, it will update the UnitCost and UnitList and then ask how you want to handle the UnitPrice that is being affected by the change in UnitCost. [Build: 2.14] | |
274. You can now set Access Rights for more than one Literature file at a time. To do this, From the File->Print window, you need to check the "Administration mode" checkbox, and then place a checkmark next to every Literature file that you want to set the same Access rights for, then right click and choose "Set Access Rights for all checked items". [Build: 2.14] | |
275. You can now enter an ItemType for a Section Header type line item. This gives you more control over not including this type of line item when calculating Deposit Required summing. It is not recommended to use this to Include the Section Header total, but rather to disclude it from the summing action. [Build: 2.14] | |
276. The [Request Approval] button on the Print window will now be enabled even if the customer has accepted the quote through QuoteValet. The reason is that after the acceptance, maybe the sales rep needs to change a Purchasing Notes field or similar field and with this button enabled they can now request the approval again. [Build: 2.14] | |
277. When one or more line items are selected in the Quote WorkBook and you press the down or up arrow key, these selections will be cleared. Also on the Edit->Line Attributes window, pressing ENTER while on any field will perform the same action as clicking on the OK button. [Build: 2.14] | |
278. When using Tools->Refresh pricing w/Latest if the item pricing method was P or M, and the realtime pricing vendor returned a list price and the list price will now be updated. [Build: 2.14] | |
279. GoldMine 2022.1 is now supported! [Build: 2.22] | |
280. SugarCRM version 11.3 is now supported! [Build: 2.22] | |

For the feature to be enabled, the Contact field cannot already be populated with a contact that was retrieved from SugarCRM. Also, the Company, and Contact must be populated. This feature is available on the toolbar above the SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo areas of the Quote WorkBook. There is also an Access Right "CannotCreateCRMContact" that you can set if you do not want specific users to be able to use this feature. [Build: 2.22] | |
282. For salesforce.com users, discount line items will now be included in Opportunities. [Build: 2.22] | |

287. For Autotask users, when retrieving recurring products from Autotask, there is a new setup option to choose if the First Payment should be included. In the QuoteWerks Autotask setup, this option is found by navigating to the Opportunities tab and then to the Quote Products sub-tab. The check box is named "First Payment Included in Document Totals for Recurring Products". [Build: 2.36] | |

290. For ConnectWise users, product lookup searches that return lots of results are now significantly faster. [Build: 2.36] | |
291. The Utilities->Document Transport File Diagnostics window has been redesigned and combined with the Utilities->Document Backup Manager. The result is that now there is just a Utilities->Document Transport File Manager menu. This new Document Transport File Manager has a begins with search feature useful for locating a dtf file in the list. There is now a [Restore] button that makes it easy for you to restore the database version of the quote from a DTF file version of the quote. There is also a Right click "Open Document in DB" menu. The Utilities->Document Transport File Manager now shows more details about the .bxx, .dtf, or .dta file, including details like GrandTotal and number of line items, and about the DB version of the document if it exists.

299. New VendorRFQ product release, including integration with QuoteWerks. VendorRFQ enables customers to communicate with their vendors, discussing and negotiating pricing and details for goods and services, collecting and organizing this information from one or all of their vendors. Your purchasing team will be able to compare and find the lowest prices to purchase available specific goods and services, while knowing at any given time which vendors have received the request for quote, and which have responded. All purchasing and procurement information is available in a centralized location for your team. Under the Utilities->Vendor maintenance menu you will want to setup your vendors, and make sure to enter your account number, the vendor sales rep name, email address, and phone. From the Quote Workbook, simply select an item and click on the VendorRFQ action button to create an RFQ and invite vendors. You can also do this from the Purchasing window. VendorRFQ requires the Corporate Edition of QuoteWerks, a SQL backend (either QuoteWerks DB Hosting subscription, or a SQL database that vendorrfq.com server can access), and a VendorRFQ subscription. VendorRFQ is only supported in master installations, it is not supported in Remote Site or Remote PC installations. The VendorRFQ integration is also supported in the Quote Workbook in QuoteWerks Web. A Misc Access right of "CannotUseVendorRFQLicense" is implemented to control the use of licenses per user.

300. Product Sourcing Panel. What used to be the "Etilize panel" now will show product sourcing information even if you do not have an Etilize subscription, and specifically will display any Vendor RFQs for the selected item and also will show any product data source matches if that option has been setup under the Misc tab of the Tools->Options menu. There is now a [Refresh] button, and a new orange indicator that is displayed next to the vendor that is currently the vendor for the line item in the quote. [Build: 1.03] | |
301. For Maximizer CRM users, Maximizer CRM 2021 R3 is now supported! [Build: 1.03] | |
302. For Product Content Subscribers, added support for Amazon Business pricing.

[Build: 1.03] | |
303. Tech Data France Real-time Pricing & Availability is now supported! [Build: 1.03] | |
304. For ConnectWise Manage users, when writing Recurring Forecast Lines or Products to the ConnectWise Opportunity, if the Start and End Dates are not specified, there is now a setup option to default the dates to be "one month" or "one year" from the Opportunity Close Date. The previous behavior would set the recurring end date to be one year from the Opportunity Close Date. This option is useful because ConnectWise Manage takes the value of the contract (ie 12 months * price) when setting the value of the opportunity line item which inflates the value of the opportunity at a glance. [Build: 1.03] | |
305. For Zoho CRM users, there is now an option to create quotes in Zoho CRM that are associated with the Zoho CRM Deal. These Quotes are populated with line item detail from the QuoteWerks quote.

307. For Zoho CRM users, bi-directional Data Linking is now supported for the Zoho CRM Quote Items.

Also, the import log will no longer be written out as a .log file, instead a new EventViewer record will be written under the category of "ProductImport".

If you used the command line option like /i:"ACME Product Inventory.pit", you will still need to include the ".pit" postfix at the end of the template name.

The backup file name will have the same base name as the product database file but with a .bxx extension.

The backup is a tab delimited text file backup of the database and will be saved to a file with the same base name as the product database SQL table name like "Products_OurProducts" and will have a .bxx file extension.

For a Cover Page, select the Cover Page, and click on the [Set Access Rights] button next to the Cover Page drop down list. You will be able to set these File Access Rights if you are a user with Master Rights or if you have the new Misc Access right of "NonMasterRightsUser_CanAdministerDeliverables". When this "Enable individual Resource security" option is activated, no users will be able to see any Cover Pages, Print Layouts or Literature files. To see these files and assign Access Rights, you will need to be a user with Master Rights (or have the Misc Access right of "NonMasterRightsUser_CanAdministerDeliverables"), and you will need to check the "[] Administration Mode" checkbox on the Print window.

464. For Product Content Subscribers using Etilize as a Product Source, there is a new Etilize "Workspace" feature. The new feature is very useful when doing research.

After the synchronization is performed, the File Links list will be reloaded so that you can see any new files as a result of the synchronization process. Having this button located on the File Links tab is very useful as it lets regular users easily initiate the synchronization of the files when they need to. The Misc Access Rights of "CannotUseQuoteWerksWebSyncUp" and "CannotUseQuoteWerksWebSyncDown" have been added as a way to control user access to this feature. This synchronize and refresh feature can also be accessed with the new [Sync QuoteWerks Web] button on the Print window. [Build: 1] | |
469. Added new Product->Lookup window, right click menu "Associate item(s) with Folder..." This will now prompt you to choose a product database folder from a folder selection dialog.

QuoteWerks automates this entire workflow. Your CCW account must be linked to your Tech Data account to use this functionality. On the Tech Data Website, go to the 'Buy -> Cisco 1' Source Menu. Under the 'Quote Creator' Section, if you see 'Connect To CCW' in a big yellow button, your account is not linked to Cisco. [Build: 1] | |

630. For QuoteValet users, QuoteValet now supports the ability for customers to upload multiple files to the QuoteValet Quote. When they upload a file, by default the name will be the file name that was selected, but the customer can rename the "file" once it has been uploaded to QuoteValet. The sales reps will receive email and dashboard notifications when the customer uploads files. The e-mail notification will include a link to download the file and also a link to take the sales rep to the File Upload Area on the QuoteValet quote. Customers will not be able to delete files once they have been uploaded, however a sales rep can delete the files. This is by design, since anyone with this link can view the quote (as it has always been), but just being able to view the document has never given the person the ability to delete information. The Sales Rep can also visit the QuoteValet page and upload files themselves. There will be two tabs in the "Uploads Area", "Customer Uploads" and "SalesRep Uploads". This lets the sales rep upload extra files or literature instead of having all that material included in the singular QuoteValet quote PDF. When the Customer or Sales Rep uploads a file there is an option for them to be prompted to specify a Category, Like "PO", or "Artwork". These categories are customizable. The Customer can also include notes for the Sales Rep with the uploaded file. The "Upload Area" is a "control" that can be included in a quote template, and also in the Acceptance template depending upon your workflow. The names of the tabs and the default tab can be customized. There is a 2GB limit on the amount of storage each tenant can use that is included with the standard QuoteValet pricing. This 2GB includes the tenant's database, site files, PDF files, line item pictures, sales rep headshots, and any files upload by the Sales Rep or Customer, etc. [Build: 1.07] | |
631. For QuoteValet users, added new "Do not send view notifications if viewed from these IP address(s):" option on the Activity Notifications tab of the QuoteValet Setup window. Use this to enter a comma separated list of IP addresses. This is useful to prevent view notifications from being triggered by your own internal email scanning systems that follow all links in an email and erroneously trigger customer view notifications. [Build: 1.07] | |
632. There is now a new Line Item Attribute of "Allow QV Qty Change". When set, this will allow the Customer to change the Quantity of the line item while viewing the quote on QuoteValet. This new attribute is available in the Edit->Edit Line Attributes menu, Edit Required Item, Edit Optional Item, Edit Bundle Item, Edit Configuration Item, and the Edit Product window on the General tab. This field is also available in the layout designer as "&LineAttributeAllowQVQuantityChange". [Build: 1.07] | |
633. Converting documents from QUOTE to ORDER to INVOICE is now handled more robustly. We've added 3 new fields ConvertedFromOn, ConvertedFromBy, and ConvertedFromRef in addition to the existing ConvertedOn, ConvertedBy, ConvertedRef fields. The existing fields are now used to store the ConvertedTo information. With these changes, you will no longer get the confusing message when converting an Order to an Invoice. When looking at the Order, you will be able to see the Quote the Order came from and also the invoice that it became. For example, you will see "Converted From FLAQ2386 by John Lewe on October 23, 2019", and also "Converted to FLAI1693 by Brian Laufer on October 27, 2019". [Build: 1.07] | |
634. On the Misc.General tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu there is now a "New Document Default" option. When the "New" button on the main toolbar is clicked or the "Start with new document" option is checked this setting will control the new document generation. If a template is selected, then the logged in user will start with a template as opposed to starting with an empty document. If "System Default" is selected then a new document will be created with the defaults from the Documents tab including the "Document Type" setting. If "Blank QUOTE" is selected, then a new document will be created with the defaults from the Documents tab (except the "Document Type" setting). If "Blank ORDER" is selected, then a new document will be created with the defaults from the Documents tab (except the "Document Type" setting). If "Blank INVOICE" is selected, then a new document will be created with the defaults from the Documents tab (except the "Document Type" setting). [Build: 1.07] | |
635. On the Misc.General tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu added new option "When using document templates, refresh item prices", when selected [Build: 1.07] | |
636. For the "TOTALING: Add up multiple matching line items in the document" feature in the Deposit, Summary Line, and Formula Line, there is now a second filter available. You can, for example, set one filter to total product and charge 100%, the other filter can be set to total labor and charge 50%! [Build: 1.07] | |
637. Grouped Bundles can now be setup with Custom fields CustomText01-20, CustomMemo01-05, CustomNumber01-05, and CustomDate01-02. [Build: 1.07] | |
638. Grouped Bundles now support the ability to include a picture for the header line of the group! [Build: 1.07] | |
639. You can now specify a Unit Price Override amount for the Bundle in the Bundle definition. This behaves the same way as the "Group Header Unit Price manual override". The Unit Price of a Group Header line is automatically calculated by adding up the non-recurring group member line items. When you override the price, the difference will be applied proportionally across the individual group member prices. [Build: 1.07] | |
640. On the Products->Bundles window you can now search for bundles based on the Name, Description, or Notes or a combination of them. It supports Begins With, Contains, Search Query and more search types. Really useful for searching for a Bundle based on a word or words in the notes of the Bundle definition. Also the Description column was added to the grid display. [Build: 1.07] | |
641. On the Products->Bundles window you can now resize and re-arrange the columns which will be remembered per user. You can also click each column header to sort the grid by that column. [Build: 1.07] | |

643. Grouped Configurations now support the ability to include a picture for the header line of the group! [Build: 1.07] | |
644. You can now specify a Unit Price Override amount for a Configuration in the Configuration definition. This behaves the same way as the "Group Header Unit Price manual override". The Unit Price of a Group Header line is automatically calculated by adding up the non-recurring group member line items. When you override the price, the difference will be applied proportionally across the individual group member prices. [Build: 1.07] | |
645. On the Products->Configurations window you can now search for Configurations based on the Name, Description, or Notes or a combination of them. It supports Begins With, Contains, Search Query and more search types. Really useful for searching for a Configuration based on a word or words in the notes of the Configuration definition. Also the Description column was added to the grid display. [Build: 1.07] | |
646. On the Products->Configurations window you can now resize and re-arrange the columns which will be remembered per user. You can also click each column header to sort the grid by that column. [Build: 1.07] | |
647. All the "&PreparedBy" macros are now available for use in QuoteValet HTML templates. [Build: 1.07] | |
648. For SugarCRM users, QuoteWerks now supports the "Ultimate" edition. [Build: 1.07] | |

650. When right clicking on a UserSettings entry in the Settings Manager and holding down the SHIFT key while clicking on the Copy Set Command menu, you will be given choices to override the UserName in the SET command with the %AllUsers% macro, which enables you to SET a setting for all users in a single command. [Build: 1.07] | |
651. On the Purchasing window, when adding tracking numbers by clicking on the "Add" hyperlink, the "Add" hyperlink would be removed once the number of tracking numbers you entered match the quantity of the item you ordered. We've changed this to leave the "Add" hyperlink to account for situation where you order a single item like a computer that includes a monitor and the vendor ships you the computer and the monitor is separate boxes, generating 2 tracking numbers for 1 item. [Build: 1.07] | |
652. On the Document Items grid, when pressing ENTER while in a grid cell that is not a memo column, the cursor will be moved to the cell on the row below, similar to Microsoft Excel behavior. If ENTER is pressed while on the last row, a new row will be created. Previously, pressing the ENTER key would just tab to the next cell to the right. [Build: 1.07] | |
653. Added CustomMemo03, CustomMemo04, and CustomMemo05 columns on the Document Items tab of the Quote Workbook. Also added respective "Link CustomMemoXX Column to Product field." checkboxes on the "Field Links" tab of the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 1.07] | |
654. Added CustomMemo03, CustomMemo04, and CustomMemo05 fields to the Edit Product window. To fit them a new "Custom Memo" tab was created and they are located on it. [Build: 1.07] | |

[Build: 1.07] | |
657. On Tools->Options Documents tab, there are now subtabs of General, Custom, and Custom Memo. You can now set defaults for all the CustomText, CustomNumber, CustomDate, and CustomMemo fields. Previously you could only set defaults for CustomText01-14. [Build: 1.07] | |
658. On the Open Document window added 2 more "Search Item" areas bringing the total to 3 "Search Item" filters. [Build: 1.07] | |
659. For Autotask users, when a quote has been uploaded to QuoteValet, the Autotask Opportunity will now have additional links of "QuoteValet Customer Facing Page (For INTERNAL viewing) - Quote AAAQ1001" and "QuoteValet Customer Facing Page (For EXTERNAL viewing) - Quote AAAQ1001" [Build: 1.07] | |
660. For ConnectWise Manage users, when a quote has been uploaded to QuoteValet, the ConnectWise Opportunity will now have additional links of "QuoteValet Customer Facing Page (For INTERNAL viewing) - Quote AAAQ1001" and

661. For ConnectWise Manage users, added new Opportunity defaults when creating a new Opportunity in ConnectWise Manage for Rating and Sales Stage. These are available to set on the Opportunities -> General Tab of the ConnectWise Setup window. [Build: 1.07] | |
662. The Edit->Change Line now supports changing a line type to a Section Header. [Build: 1.07] | |
663. The line type of "Section Header" can now be specified for Required Items, Bundle Items and Configuration Items. [Build: 1.07] | |
664. You can now search the QuoteWerks Contact Database by First Name. [Build: 1.07] | |
665. There is now a "Select E-Mail Recipient(s) default list" option on the Email.Defaults tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. You can use this to choose "Document" or "Manual Recipient List". [Build: 1.07] | |
666. Added option to set an email Reply-To setting per user. This is usually used by the system administrator to make sure that even though an email was sent from a sales rep, when the customer replies the system administrator wants the customer reply going to a ticketing system where the customer can see their own response, and also so that everyone else on the team is kept in the loop. There is no user interface for this setting. In the Settings Manager,for example, you can set UserSettings\UserEmail\Reply-To=Ticket System | |
667. The E-Mail Templates have the ability to specify and include TO, CC, and BCC email addresses in the e-mail template. Now there is a separate option for TO, CC, and BCC to control if these email addresses replace the existing email addresses in the e-mail, or just get appended to the list. [Build: 1.07] | |
668. QuoteWerks macros are now available for use in the TO, CC, and BCC fields, which can be specified for the email template under the Tools->Customize E-mail Templates menu. A good example to use here would be &DH_&PreparedByEmail. [Build: 1.07] | |
669. Added new macros &DI_&Line1Vendor, and &POVendorName which are available for use in email subject lines and the email body. [Build: 1.07] | |
670. On the Misc tab of Tools->Options, there is now a "Follow Up Call Regarding" in the CRM Defaults frame. You can use macros here to control the text that is automatically generated for the Regarding field of a CRM activity. The default is now "&DH_DocName (#&DH_DocNo)". Currently this feature is only implemented for Act!. [Build: 1.07] | |
671. For Act! users, there is now an option to choose if you want the Act! Activity that QuoteWerks creates to be attached to the Act! Contact or Opportunity record. This setting is on the Activities tab of the Act! Setup window. [Build: 1.07] | |

673. For Act! users, when creating the Act! Opportunity, you can now choose the Record Manager for the Opportunity. [Build: 1.07] | |
674. For Act! users, there is now an option "When creating CRM records, set the Owner to" on the Act! Setup window that let's you choose "QuoteWerks Logged In User (mapped to Act! UserName)" or "QuoteWerks Sales Rep (mapped to Act! UserName)". If you choose the QuoteWerks SalesRep option, then you need to make sure you specify the Act! UserName for each Sales Rep under that Sales Rep's User Preferences window. This feature is really useful when you have one person that prepares quotes for a sales rep, so the preparer is logged into QuoteWerks and Act!, but you want to create opportunities and schedule calls for the Sales Rep, not the Preparer. [Build: 1.07] | |
675. For Act! users, the Opportunity name max length on the Opportunity window in QuoteWerks now matches the customized length (if you have customized the length of this field in Act!). Previously this field length was always hard coded to the default 64 characters.
[Build: 1.07] | |
676. Added "PO Item macros" option on the Mappings.Items tab of the QuickBooks Setup window. The macros &POI_SONumber and &POI_&DistributorSONumber are available. The macro text will be appended to the end of the PO Item description. A good example would be " (SO# &POI_SONumber, DistSO# &POI_&DistributorSONumber)". [Build: 1.07] | |
677. On the Purchase orders tab of the Purchasing window, added new right click menu for the PO Items of "Change Distributor SO Number...". [Build: 1.07] | |
678. Added new &DI_&LineNumberActualPadded field. Useful for the DataLink CRMOppItem_CreateUpdate event. Act! does not respect the order in which line items are written into the Act! Opportunity, so with this feature, you can map this macro to a custom text field in the Act! Opportunity Line item and then when viewing the Act! Opportunity in Act! you can click on the column heading to sort by the line number. [Build: 1.07] | |
679. When creating manual Purchase orders in QuoteWerks, there are now "SO Number" and "Dist SO#" fields. The values you enter in these fields will be applied to ALL the line items in the Purchase order. Also, the SONumber and DistributorSONumber column in the Order's line item is updated with this information from the Purchase order, if those values are empty in the Order's line item. [Build: 1.07] | |
680. For Ingram Micro online ordering users, there is now a new "Flooring Account" default value that can be setup under the Ingram Micro Online Ordering Options window. [Build: 1.07] | |
681. For QuickBooks Desktop users, there is now an [Ok for All] button that can be used when automating the creation of Items in QuickBooks, remembering and applying all the Item Type and Account selections. Very useful when exporting larger quotes over to QuickBooks and also when exporting Purchase Orders over to QuickBooks. Without this feature, if the integration creates 50 items in QuickBooks, you would have to click OK 50 times. [Build: 1.07] | |
682. For Sage 50 Accounting US Edition (Peachtree) users, there is now an [Ok for All] button that can be used when automating the creation of Items in Peachtree, remembering and applying all the Item Type and Account selections. Very useful when exporting larger quotes over to Peachtree and also when exporting Purchase Orders over to Peachtree. Without this feature, if the integration creates 50 items in Peachtree, you would have to click OK 50 times. [Build: 1.07] | |
683. Added new [Ok for All] button on the Tools->Refresh item w/Latest Pricing menu. When the Best Pricing runs it also calls the Latest Pricing where you can also use this new [Ok for All] button. [Build: 1.07] | |
684. When using the Tools->Refresh item w/Best Pricing feature, if the Vendor being compared existed as a Product database and also as a realtime pricing source, QuoteWerks would look in the product database searching by manufacturer part number to find the Vendor Part Number to use when performing the realtime pricing lookup. If that manufacturer part number was not found in the product database (probably because the product database data was older), then QuoteWerks would not attempt to get realtime pricing from the vendor even though realtime pricing was available. If this item had been added to the quote using Etilize and Vendor Sourcing information was cached for that item, that information will now be looked at first and used if a vendor part number for that vendor is found. [Build: 1.07] | |
685. When running Tools->Refresh item w/Latest Pricing or Tools->Refresh item w/Best Pricing an UNDO point is now set so that if you selected to update multiple lines with pricing, clicking the UNDO button will undo the changes made to all line items in that single operation. [Build: 1.07] | |
686. For Salesforce.com users, there is now a "Use Salesforce Files instead of Attachments" option on the Salesforce.com Setup window. When checked, quotes will be saved under the 'Files' section of an Opportunity instead of the 'Notes & Attachments' section. [Build: 1.07] | |
687. For Salesforce.com users, QuoteWerks can now create/update a follow up call that is attached to the Salesforce.com Opportunity and appears under the Open Activities section of the Opportunity.
[Build: 1.07] | |
688. For Autotask users, the Fulfillment Date can now be entered on the Opportunity window. [Build: 1.07] | |
689. For Autotask users, version 1.6 of the Autotask API is now supported. [Build: 1.07] | |
690. For Autotask users, when creating or updating an Autotask quote, the Sold To, Bill To, and Ship To addresses will now be populated and linked to the associated contact(s) in Autotask.
This functionality can be disabled in the Settings Manager, byval setting
SystemSettings\Autotask\DontSetSoldToContactInQuote=-1
SystemSettings\Autotask\DontSetShipToContactInQuote=-1
SystemSettings\Autotask\DontSetBillToContactInQuote=-1 [Build: 1.07] | |
691. For Autotask users, bi-directional Data Linking is now supported for the Autotask Quote Items. Field information can be copied from QuoteWerks into the Autotask Quote Item and then fields can also be copied from the Autotask Quote Item into QuoteWerks. This happens when QuoteWerks creates or updates an Autotask Quote. This can be done on the Opportunity Item level with the EventAction of "CRMOppItem_CreateUpdate". [Build: 1.07] | |
692. For Autotask users, QuoteWerks can now use Autotask impersonation. Without impersonation, when QuoteWerks created Opportunities in Autotask, the Opportunity user would be "QuoteWerks API User", no matter who was logged in. Now, with the impersonation setup, the Autotask user specified for the logged in user in QuoteWerks will be used. [Build: 1.07] | |
693. For Autotask users, a new DataLink macro was added for retrieving the contact. The Contact->&TaxRate macro will retrieve the tax rate based off the contact's account's TaxRegionID. [Build: 1.07] | |
694. For QuickBooks Online users, when exporting a PO to QuickBooks Online, the Vendor Email address as configured in the Utilies->Vendor Maintenance window can now be sent to the QuickBooks Purchase Order. This option is enabled in the QuickBooks Online Setup in QuoteWerks. [Build: 1.07] | |
695. For ConnectWise Manage users that use ConnectWise Manage as a Secondary CRM, when exporting to ConnectWise, there is now a 'Remove Link' button. This is useful if you need to change the ConnectWise Manage Contact that the document it linked to. [Build: 1.07] | |
696. For ConnectWise Manage Users with the ConnectWise Manage Purchasing Module, when QuoteWerks creates a Purchase Order in ConnectWise, if all of the items on the Purchase order come from the same QuoteWerks Document and the ShipToAddress was retrieved from ConnectWise Manage, there will be option to Drop Ship the order to the customer. The "Enable 'Drop Ship' Option on Purchase Orders" must be checked in the ConnectWise Mange Setup in QuoteWerks to enable this feature. [Build: 1.07] | |
697. There is now a QuoteWerks Web AutoLink on the Links tab of the Quote Workbook that when clicked will open the document currently open in QuoteWerks Desktop in QuoteWerks Web. [Build: 1.07] | |
698. For ConnectWise Manage users, when winning the Connectwise Opportunity, QuoteWerks can now convert all items or specified items on the Opportunity to a new or existing Project in ConnectWise Manage. [Build: 1.07] | |
699. For ConnectWise Manage users, when winning the Connectwise Opportunity and creating a service ticket in ConnectWise Manage, there is a new option to include "All Line Items". Previously, there were options for "Products and Services", "All Products", "All Services", and "Each Service." This new option will enable "Agreement" and "Other" items to be sent to the Service Ticket. [Build: 1.07] | |
700. For ConnectWise Manage Users, when searching the ConnectWise Product Catalog from the QuoteWerks Product Lookup Window, a Description search will now search both the Description and the Customer Description fields in ConnectWise. [Build: 1.07] | |
701. For customers rehosted to SQL that want to turn off TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 support on their SQL Server, and use only TLS 1.2, you can now run QuoteWerks in this environment. You must be running SQL Server 2014 or higher and in the backend.ini file under the [Backend] section, enter the ini key of SQLProvider=SQLNCLI11 [Build: 1.07] | |
702. On the Misc tab of Tools->My Preferences menu, added new Document Search Default of "DocumentsPreparedByMe". [Build: 1.07] | |
703. On the Document Items Toolbar there is now an "Invert Row Selection" icon. It is very useful when used in conjunction with the Edit Select Special, you can use this to select various line items and apply a price modifier, and then use the new Invert Row Selection to then apply a different price modifier to all the other line items. [Build: 1.07] | |
704. Added a monitor icon to the status bar on the bottom right of the main QuoteWerks window. You can now double-click this icon to move and tile all open QuoteWerks windows to primary monitor. [Build: 1.07] | |
705. On the Save File Window there is now a [Up one folder] button. [Build: 1.07] | |

707. For ConnectWise Manage Users, when using ConnectWise as "Not Primary CRM", there is a new "Display Tools->Export to ConnectWise window on each Save" option. [Build: 1.09] | |
708. Added a [Paste Plain Text] button to the Send Email window. This is useful when copying text from web pages and other HTML or rich text sources and then pasting into your own HTML formatted email that you are composing. Copying text from web pages copies all the text formatting (fonts, sizes, colors, background colors, CSS code, etc) and when normally pasted into your own email will apply a mixture of all these formatting options with your own usually resulting in an undesirable result. This feature will convert the formatted text in the clipboard with plain text, so that when you paste into your email it will just paste in plain text. [Build: 1.09] | |
709. Added a [Convert Clipboard to Plain Text] button to the Send Email window. Copying text from web pages copies all the text formatting (fonts, sizes, colors, background colors, CSS code, etc) and when normally pasted into your own email will apply a mixture of all these formatting options with your own usually resulting in an undesirable result. This feature will convert the formatted text in the clipboard with plain text, so that when you paste into your email it will just paste in plain text.
[Build: 1.09] | |
710. For QuoteValet users, when the customer or sales rep uploads a file to the Upload Area on the QuoteValet document, there is now an option on the Site Files tab of the QuoteValet Setup window, of "Display File Upload Edit window after upload" that when set will prompt the user to select a category or enter notes for the file being uploaded. [Build: 1.10] | |
711. For QuoteValet users, you can now specify the list of File Categories displayed for selection when uploading a file to the Upload Area. You can do this on the Site Files tab of the QuoteValet Setup window. Separate the list of categories with a comma. [Build: 1.10] | |
712. The Tools->Compare Prices between Vendors feature now follows a more advanced process. If it is a real-time only vendor then it looks for the VendorPartNumber is the VendorSourcingList cached from adding the item through Etilize (if available). If a local database for the vendor exists, it is searched to find a VendorPartNumber, and if found, if no realtime is available for this vendor, it used the price from the local database. If a local database for the vendor exists, it is searched to find a VendorPartNumber, and if found, if realtime is available for this vendor, it used the VendorPartNumber from the local database to get real-time pricing. If real-time pricing fails with that local database VendorPartNumber, then the VendorPartNumber from the VendorSourcingList cached from adding the item through Etilize is used (if available) to obtain real-time pricing. [Build: 1.10] | |
713. You can now set new document defaults for the Purchasing Notes and Internal Notes (in addition to the Introduction and Closing Notes) fields under the Misc.Notes tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. [Build: 1.10] | |
714. ACT! version 22 is now supported! [Build: 1.12] | |
715. On the Open Document window, when multiple documents are selected and the [Delete] button is clicked, you will now just receive one request for confirmation of the multiple deletion, instead of a confirmation for each selected document. [Build: 1.12] | |
716. In the product lookup window, for QuoteWerks native product databases, there is now an auto-generated (ItemTypes) folder that automatically lists all the unique ItemTypes contained in the product database, and when an ItemType folder is clicked on, only the products with that ItemType will be displayed. There is also a new an auto-generated (Categories) folder. [Build: 1.13] | |
717. For QuoteValet users, when a quote that has been uploaded to QuoteValet is accepted, an SMS text message can be sent to the notification user (typically the sales rep) in addition to the acceptance notification email. On the Misc.General tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu you can set the threshold amount of when a text message will be sent using the "On acceptance of Quote over X amount, send SMS (QuoteValet only)" option. The default is $10,000. This is useful for getting instant notification on the acceptance of larger quotes that you might want to react more quickly to. If you set this to 0, then no text notification will be sent. [Build: 1.14] | |
718. On the Accounting tab of the Tools->Options menu there are now 8 fields (previously 4) to filter out ItemTypes from the Purchasing window. [Build: 1.14] | |
719. For QuoteValet users, on the Inbox tab of the QuoteValet Dashboard, add a new menu option "Recall the Quote" under the [More] button drop down menu. [Build: 1.14] | |
720. Maximizer CRM v17.4 now supported! [Build: 1.15] | |
Version 5.4 Build 7 (released August 23, 2019) | |
721. QuoteWerks licenses (Standard/Professional/Corporate/Real-time) have traditionally been sold as an upfront one-time purchase with maintenance paid annually on those licenses. QuoteWerks now offers an optional subscription based model were you can pay monthly or annually to use QuoteWerks (also known as Software-as-a-Service or SaaS). In QuoteWerks you will enter an "X" License Key that will then be used to contact the QuoteWerks licensing server to obtain the licensing details.
[Build: 7.03] | |
722. For Product Content Subscribers, there is now an "In Stock Recently" checkbox and search results column for the Etilize Search on the Product Lookup Window. When checked, results will be limited to only products in which your distributors had stock in the last 24 hours. This really helps de-clutter your results by not showing items that haven't been in stock with your distributors for a while. This "in stock recently" is based on the last updated PartLocator data for Tech Data (US, UK, CA), Ingram Micro (US, CA, AU), D&H(US, CA), and SYNNEX (US, CA). The results will be based on your accounts with these distributors and region. [Build: 7.03] | |
723. For Product Content Subscribers, there are new columns on the Etilize Search Results Grid for "List Price High" and "List Price Low". Seeing the List Price for all the result records in the initial search helps you narrow down your price point before individually retrieving realtime Pricing & Availability for each result. Distributors often have different list prices for the same item, so we show the Lowest and Highest List Price for reference. You can sort the Grid based on the List Prices. List prices are based on the last updated PartLocator data for Tech Data (US, UK, CA), Ingram Micro (US, CA, AU), D&H(US, CA), and SYNNEX (US, CA). The results will be based on your accounts with these distributors and region.
[Build: 7.03] | |
724. For Product Content Subscribers, it is significantly faster to search Etilize, search the Part Locator and retrieve realtime Pricing & Availability. Also the user experience is smoother with just a single query to do the Etilize and Part Locator search. [Build: 7.03] | |
725. For Product Content Subscribers, when sourcing Etilize Items for Bundles and Configurations, the list price will now be returned even if the item is not available from Tech Data. [Build: 7.03] | |
726. For ACT! users, we've completely re-engineered the ACT! Desktop integration, adding many new capabilities that have been requested by the ACT! community. In this process, we have discontinued support for ACT! 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. QuoteWerks now integrates with ACT! 2010 and higher. [Build: 7.03] | |
727. For ACT! users, you can now integrate with the running instance of ACT!, or you can specify the ACT! database PAD file and credentials to integrate with ACT even when it is not running. [Build: 7.03] | |
728. For ACT! users, when ACT! activities (Calls/Meetings/To-dos) are created, they are linked to the ACT! Opportunity not the contact. [Build: 7.03] | |
729. For ACT! users, when ACT! linked document DTF attachments are created, they are linked to the ACT! Opportunity not the contact. [Build: 7.03] | |
730. For ACT! users, quotes can now be linked to an existing ACT! opportunity, rather than you always having to create a new opportunity in ACT! [Build: 7.03] | |
731. For ACT! users, you can now set defaults for priority, ring alarm, duration, and details that are used when QuoteWerks creates ACT! calls, meetings, and to-dos. [Build: 7.03] | |
732. For ACT! users, when creating/updating an ACT! Opportunity, there is now an Attachments tab on the Opportunity window that you can use to manually attach other files to the ACT! opportunity that QuoteWerk is creating/updating.
[Build: 7.03] | |
733. For ACT! users, bi-directional Data Linking is now supported for the ACT! Opportunity Header. Field information can be copied from QuoteWerks into the ACT! Opportunity and then fields can also be copied from the ACT! Opportunity into QuoteWerks. This happens when QuoteWerks creates or updates an ACT! Opportunity. This can be done on the Opportunity level with the EventAction of "CRMOppHeader_CreateUpdate".
[Build: 7.03] | |
734. For ACT! users, bi-directional Data Linking is now supported for the ACT! Opportunity Items. Field information can be copied from QuoteWerks into the ACT! Opportunity Item and then fields can also be copied from the ACT! Opportunity Item into QuoteWerks. This happens when QuoteWerks creates or updates an ACT! Opportunity. This can be done on the Opportunity Item level with the EventAction of "CRMOppItem_CreateUpdate".
[Build: 7.03] | |
735. For ACT! users, you can now create a new ACT! Contact record from the QuoteWerks SoldTo/ShipTo tab using the information already entered on the SoldTo/ShipTo tab. For the feature to be enabled, the SoldTo field cannot already be populated with a contact that was retrieved from ACT!. This feature is available on the toolbar above the SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo areas of the Quote WorkBook. There is also an Access Right "CannotCreateCRMContact" that you can set if you do not want specific users to be able to use this feature. [Build: 7.03] | |
736. For ACT! users, Opportunities that QuoteWerks creates in ACT! can now be renamed at any time inside of ACT!. The ACT! Opportunity will be located using a record id instead of the name. [Build: 7.03] | |
737. For ACT! users, Calls that QuoteWerks creates in ACT! can now be renamed at any time inside of ACT!. The ACT! Call will be located using a record id instead of the name. [Build: 7.03] | |

742. For Act! users, when choosing a secondary contact to pull into the quote, the DataLink is now supported. [Build: 7.03] | |
743. For ACT! users, we've added incremental auto migration of old data. Linking ACT! activities (Calls/Meetings/To-dos) to the ACT! opportunity instead of the ACT! contact and also linking the DTF file attachment to the ACT! Opportunity instead of the ACT! Contact is a major change. For all the existing quotes that have their Calls, Meetings, To-dos, and Attachments linked to the ACT! Contact, when you open the quote in QuoteWerks and choose to create/update these, QuoteWerks will find the existing records (by name), including the Opportunity and move them to all be under the same opportunity. In this process, their record ids will be saved into the quote so that they will no longer be linked using their name. [Build: 7.03] | |
744. For Supplies Network customers, added support for the new required API Key for realtime Pricing & Availability requests. [Build: 7.03] | |
745. Added SoldToMobile, ShipToMobile, and BillToMobile fields to the list of QuoteWerks fields you can retrieve a Data Link value into. [Build: 7.03] | |

747. For ConnectWise Manage Users, in the Settings Manager, you can set SystemSettings\ConnectWise\DontFormatPhoneNumber=-1 to not format the phone number when retrieved from ConnectWise Manage. In most cases, the ConnectWise Manage API returns the Phone number as unformatted (ie no spaces or dashes). This is helpful for Australian Customers.
[Build: 7.03] | |
748. ConnectWise 2019.4 is now supported! [Build: 7.06] | |

752. For QuoteValet users, QuickBooks Payments is discontinuing support for the legacy payments API on November 12, 2019. We've added support for the new "QBMS Payments API", which also supports ACH (e-check) in addition to credit cards. [Build: 7.11] | |
753. For SugarCRM users, in the Settings Manager, you can set SystemSettings\SugarCRM\DisableMD5Encryption=-1 in scenerios where this is needed. [Build: 7.11] | |

[Build: 7.11] | |
756. For QuickBooks Online users, when exporting items to QuickBooks Online there is now a QuickBooks ItemName auto-generation feature. In the simplest scenario you can setup the link to just use a QuoteWerks part number like the Manufacturer field as the QuickBooks ItemName. As a starting point, the value from a specified field like the QuoteWerks ManufacturerPartNumber field is used. The auto-generation feature will allow for more than this when the InternalPartNumber or any CustomTextxx field is selected as the mapped field. This new auto-generation feature will allow for many scenarios of use, including the ability to maintain your own proprietary part numbers in QuickBooks and pull them from QuickBooks using the product data source link. You can even use the Etilize functionality in combination with your own proprietary parts in QuickBooks. There are 2 auto-generation options. With "Do not auto-generate", when exporting items to QuickBooks, if the mapped field is empty, this will stop and force you to specify your proprietary part number and re-export. If you pulled the part from QuickBooks, it will already have your proprietary part number from QuickBooks. This is useful when you have custom part numbers that are not based on any field or combination of fields. With "Do not auto-generate", when exporting items to QuickBooks, if the mapped field is empty, then you will be forced to manually specify an ItemName before proceeding. This is used when using your own proprietary part numbers. With "Auto-generate using macro:", when exporting items to QuickBooks, instead of just using a simple field value like the ManufacturerPartNumber to become the QuickBooks ItemName, you can choose to have the QuickBooks ItemName auto-generated using a macro like &DI_ItemType:&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber. [Build: 7.11] | |
Version 5.4 Build 6 (released May 29, 2019) | |
757. E-Mail templates can now include TO, CC, and BCC email addresses. These email addresses will be appended to the email addresses in these fields when the template is used. [Build: 6.01] | |

759. On the E-Mail Template Manager window, there is now a Save & Close button you can use to quickly change a template, then Save & Close the window in one click. This is also available for saving a Snippet. [Build: 6.01] | |
760. For QuoteValet users, added new Activity Notifications under the Activity Notifications tab in the QuoteValet setup under the QuoteValet tab of the Tools->Options menu. For the QuoteValet events "Customer Intends to Pay", "Payment Failed", "Comment Posted by Customer", "Comment Posted by Sales Rep" and "Expired Quote Viewed".In addition to the sales rep receiving these email notifications, you can specify additional users/email addresses to receive a CC or BCC of the notification. This is especially useful for keeping the accounting department and sales managers in the loop. [Build: 6.01] | |
761. For Zoho CRM users, you can now clear out a user's saved credentials in QuoteWerks. [Build: 6.01] | |

Of note, the QuickBooks Item Name field length is 31 characters. [Build: 3.05] | |
774. SugarCRM 8.3 is now supported! [Build: 3.05] | |
775. There is a new "Documents Bar" on the main QuoteWerks window. Each open document is represented on this Documents Bar. When you click on the "bar button" it will bring that document to focus. If you have lots of open documents, you will get little arrows on the right to pan through them. You can also use CTRL-TAB to cycle through the list of open documents, and also use the Window->Tile and Window->Cascade menus to interact with the open documents. [Build: 3.05] | |
776. Document Side-by-Side feature. While holding the CTRL key and clicking on a second document on the Documents Bar, it will position and size the two documents side by side. Holding down CTRL-SHIFT and the clicking will maximize the QuoteWerks window and then position and size the documents.

782. For MS CRM users, bi-directional data linking is now supported for MS CRM Quote Items. Field information can be copied from the QuoteWerks Line Item into the MS CRM Quote Item and then fields can also be copied from the MS CRM Quote Item into the QuoteWerks line item. [Build: 3.08] | |
783. You can now select multiple bundles to add to the quote at the same time from the Products->Bundles menu. [Build: 3.10] | |
784. The QuickBooks Desktop Export window now opens in non-modal mode meaning it can remain open allowing you to use the normal QuoteWerks functionality while it is open including opening documents, etc. If a document you are exporting is open, it will prompt you to save it, or if it does not need to be saved, it will just close it automatically and re-open it automatically after the export process. [Build: 3.10] | |
785. For QuickBooks Desktop users, if the option to "[ ] Convert grouped items to single item" is not set on the Mappings.Items tab of the QuickBooks Setup window, the description of the Group Header line will be inserted as a comment line above the group member lines when exported to QuickBooks. [Build: 3.10] | |

793. For Product Content Subscribers in the United States, added support for a new Product Data Source - Amazon. You can Search Amazon from within QuoteWerks and see the Amazon Price, List, Description, Picture, if the item is prime, and more. Being able to search Amazon directly, rather than indirectly through the "Etilize" search is a major improvement because if you know you just want to search Amazon it is a faster search than running an Etilize search, and it will find all matching parts on Amazon even if they do not have a Manufacturer and Manufacturer part number which is required when doing the Etilize search in order to find the parts on Amazon. [Build: 2.02] | |
794. For SugarCRM (Enterprise) users, when writing SugarCRM opportunity Line Items, you can specify a QuoteWerks macro or part number generation option for auto-generating a value for the "Revenue Line Item name", for example, &DI_ManufacturerPartNumber. [Build: 2.02] | |

Field information can be copied from the QuoteWerks Line Item into the SugarCRM opportunity line item and then fields can also be copied from the SugarCRM Opportunity Line Item into the QuoteWerks line item. [Build: 2.02] | |
797. For Salesforce users, when choosing to write line items into the salesforce.com opportunity, "Use Profit Amount vs Sales Amount as Opportunity Amount" option will now be applied. Previously it only had an effect on writing to the opportunity when the option to write line items was not checked. [Build: 2.02] | |
798. For Autotask Users that subscribe to QuoteValet, if the QuoteWerks Document is linked to an Autotask Opportunity, when uploading a document to QuoteValet, the QuoteValet SalesRep Facing URL will be added to a Note on the Autotask Opportunity. This will enable sales reps to have access to the Sales Rep facing view of a QuoteValet Document from within Autotask. [Build: 2.02] | |
799. For Autotask users, when an Autotask Opportunity is created, a note in the Opportunity will be created that contains a link to open the QuoteWerks document in QuoteWerks Web. [Build: 2.02] | |
800. The Purchasing window now opens in non-modal mode meaning it can remain open allowing you to use the normal QuoteWerks functionality while it is open including opening documents, etc. It also no longer requires that you close all the currently open documents before you can view the Purchasing window. Instead it will check to see if you have a document open at the time you select items to order and click on the button to create the PO or place the online order. [Build: 2.02] | |
801. On the Purchasing tab of the Purchasing window there is now a right click menu of "Open Document". If you open a document from here and make changes to it, you will need to make sure to refresh the Purchasing tab to refresh it with new data from your changes. Also on the Purchase Orders and Ordered Items tab, the DocNo displayed is now a hyperlink, so clicking on it will open the document. [Build: 2.02] | |
802. Added Customer PO Number search field on the "Ordered Items" tab of the Purchasing window. [Build: 2.02] | |
803. Added Serial Number search field on the "Ordered Items" tab of the Purchasing window. When a serial number is searched on, all the other search criteria will be ignored. [Build: 2.02] | |
804. On the Accounting tab of the Tools->Options menu added new [Setup Shipping Carrier Tracking URL Mappings] button. You can use this to add custom Shipping Carrier options to use with the Purchasing window when entering tracking numbers. In the mapping your shipping carriers tracking URL and use the macro %trackingnumber% where QuoteWerks should insert the tracking number. [Build: 2.02] | |
805. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window, when holding down SHIFT and clicking on a Serial Number, you now have two options: Edit and Delete/UnReceive. If the Serial Number was just manually added and was not received, the Serial Number will be deleted, if the Serial Number was added as a result of receiving the item, then and UnReceive process will be initiated. This is a manual override process and will not undo the overall ReceivedOn, LineStatus, or CRM integration actions. [Build: 2.02] | |
806. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window, when right clicking on a PO Item record, the "Remove FulfillmentItem record (Override)" menu is now enabled for Manually created Purchase Orders. This will remove all Serial numbers entered and remove all Received records. [Build: 2.02] | |
807. On the Purchasing tab of the Purchasing window you can now re-arrange the columns and your changes will be remembered. [Build: 2.02] | |

809. Added option "Apply initial quantity to required and optional items" on the Installation tab of the Tools->Options menu. This has an effect on the quantity of a required or optional item as it is initially added to the quote. Most noticeable when an item is added from the Add Item Assistant and the quantity on that window is changed to a number greater than 1. When the option is set, if you enter a quantity of 5 on the Add Item Assistant window, then if a required item with a quantity of 3 does not have it's quantity linked to the parent item, then the quantity will be set to 5x3=15. If the option is not set, then the quantity will be set to 3. [Build: 2.07] | |

Version 5.4 Build 1 (released December 19, 2018) | |
811. Microsoft SQL Server 2019 is now supported! [Build: 1.08] | |
812. ACT! version 21 is now supported! For ACT! v21 users, Swiftpage made a, non-backwards compatible, breaking change to the ACT! API.

ACT! has been made aware of this issue and we are awaiting a resolution from ACT! [Build: 1.08] | |
813. Maximizer CRM v17.0 is now supported! [Build: 1.08] | |
814. SugarCRM 8.2 is now supported! [Build: 1.08] | |
815. Integration to ShareWerks web-based collaboration and communication system! With ShareWerks you can collaborate on this quote with your team, keeping all the communication in a single place rather than spread out over unstructured emails or chats. All the files and conversations relating to this quote will all be in one place where you can easily access them. At any time you can invite additional people into the discussion and immediately they will have access to all the previous messages and file uploads making it easy to get those people up to speed on the quote. Just use the [Discuss with ShareWerks] button on the Notes tab of the Quote WorkBook. [Build: 1.08] | |
816. You can now manually override the automatically calculated Grouped Bundle Price. This is useful when, for example, your grouped bundle total is $5,043.23 and you would like to present it to the customer as a "cleaner looking" $5,000.00". Just type in the manual amount into the Grouped Bundle's Unit Price column and QuoteWerks will distribute the $43.23 difference across all the line items in the bundle in a proportional way. During this process any PriceModifiers for the bundle items will be cleared. [Build: 1.08] | |
817. There is now a Find feature that lets you search the line items in the currently open quote. There are several ways to use this. First you can select the Edit->Find menu (or press CTRL-F) which launches the find window and sets the Find Column to | |
818. You can now sort Line Items on the Document Items grid. Just select the rows that you would like to sort and then click the column heading you want to sort the rows by. You can hold down the SHIFT key to do a reverse sort. Since quotes can have different line item types that are purposely meant to stay together, the sort will only sort the selection if it contains Product/Service, Comment, Heading, or Summary lines. You can select a contiguous range or lines, or can single select multiple lines. [Build: 1.08] | |
819. For QuoteValet users, with the recent introduction of QuoteValet payments that can apply surcharges or discounts based on the payment method, we've added refinements to make it easier to understand the total amount of payments made vs the Surcharges/Discounts, and the balance remaining. These additional breakdowns are on the payments area of the QuoteValet tab, the Payments tab of the QuoteValet Dashboard, the main QuoteValet page (once a quote has been accepted), and also on the QuoteValet Payment page. [Build: 1.08] | |
820. For Autotask users, bi-directional data linking is now supported for Autotask opportunity fields. Field information can be copied from QuoteWerks into the Autotask opportunity and then fields can also be copied from the Autotask Opportunity into QuoteWerks. [Build: 1.08] | |

824. For MS CRM users, the opportunity name now supports the Default Opportunity name Generation macro from the Misc tab of Tools->Options. [Build: 1.08] | |
825. For MS CRM users, if a follow-up call was created, the link is now displayed under the links tab. [Build: 1.08] | |
826. For MS CRM users, more than 250 users can now be loaded on the opportunity window. [Build: 1.08] | |
827. For MS CRM users, the DataLink now retrieves a list of all the Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities fields available from MS CRM. [Build: 1.08] | |
828. For QuoteValet users, there is now a [Dismiss All] button on the Inbox tab of the QuoteValet Dashboard. [Build: 1.08] | |
829. For QuoteValet users there is now a [View QuoteValet Users] button on the Logged In Users window that will show you the users that QuoteValet licenses are currently allocated to. [Build: 1.08] | |
830. The Etilize subscription no longer requires that you enter an S License Key each year as the annual subscription expires. QuoteWerks will check with the Aspire Licensing Server to obtain Etilize subscription information. [Build: 1.08] | |
831. Under Utilities->License Manager menu there is a new [Redeem Code] button that can be used to replace or add License Keys into QuoteWerks with a single Redemption Code. Especially useful and time saving for Edition Upgrades, License Relinquishments, and Fresh Installations. [Build: 1.08] | |
832. For ConnectWise Manage users, the DataLink can now copy information from QuoteWerks into ConnectWise Manage opportunity fields when QuoteWerks creates or updates a ConnectWise Manage opportunity. This can be done on the opportunity level with the EventAction of "CRMOppHeader_CreateUpdate". Information can also be copied at the line item level when QuoteWerks is creating/updating ConnectWise Manage opportunity product items using the EventAction of "CRMOppItem_CreateUpdate". The DataLink is bi-directional so after the Opportunity is created/updated in ConnectWise Manage you can setup a DataLink mapping to copy information from the ConnectWise Manage opportunity back into the QuoteWerks quote for fields at the opportunity level. This functionality also is available when creating a new QuoteWerks quote from a ConnectWise Opportunity via the QuoteWerks Opportunity Dashboard or via the Quote button on the ConnectWise Manage Opportunity. As an example, At the Opportunity Item level, this new functionality enables you to control what QuoteWerks Line item field is mapped to the ConnectWise Manage Description and Customer Description fields. While At the Opportunity Header Level, this new functionality enables you to populate the ConnectWise Manage Opportunity Notes field from a QuoteWerks field and also exposes the Opportunity Custom Fields to be mapped as well. [Build: 1.08] | |

There is also an option to automatically disable a payment method, for example, credit card when the quote total is over, for example, $3000. You can set defaults for each payment type such as if you will charge a surcharge, what amount, is it taxable, etc. When a quote is accepted, your customer will see only the payment options that you have to present to the customer for this quote. You can set defaults so that all new quotes start with default payment options, and then you can change the payment options to be unique for each quote based on your needs.

This labor line item will be quantity linked to the product item so as you change the quantity of the main item, the simple labor item quantity will automatically change with it. If you need to enter more information for your labor item, you will need to just create a regular item and then set it as a required item with the quantity linked. There is a [Convert] button on the Simple Labor tab which will convert this simple labor information into a regular product item and make it a required item of the item. When importing products, you can import the Simple Labor information into the product with the fields:
&LaborData.LaborQuantity, &LaborData.LaborDescription, &LaborData.LaborUnitCost, &LaborData.LaborUnitPrice, &LaborData.LaborTaxCode, and &LaborData.LaborLineAttributes.

You can even use the TOTALING Summary Line to add up values from multiple sections and display that in a summary line.

Additionally TLS 1.2 requires that the Microsoft .NET framework version 4.5 be installed and Internet Explorer (IE) 11 or higher needs to be installed. In Microsoft IE, TLS 1.2 must be enabled. To enable, click on the Gear/Settings button in IE and select Internet Options from the menu. Go to the Advanced tab, and under the Security section, make sure that TLS v1.2 is checked.

SET:UserSettings:UserConfig:&APP_LoggedInUserName:AutoOpenQuoteValetDashboardOnStart=-1
QuoteWerks Commands have many uses. QuoteWerks technical support can provide these commands to users to more easily make settings changes rather than explaining the steps to set these settings through the normal user interface. Also since you can run multiple commands at the same time, administrators can more easily grab multiple settings and apply them to other users in more automated fashion. Resellers can use these QuoteWerks Commands to apply standardized customizations to any installation. When right clicking on a setting you can choose the 'Copy SET Command' menu to copy into the clipboard the QuoteWerks Command that would SET this setting when run. For more details, please see the help system. [Build: 6] | |

Now this list is ordered by DocumentHeaders.DocDate, DocumentHeaders.ID, DocumentItems.ID. In conjunction with this change, when right clicking on a Purchase Order and choosing to "E-mail PO" or "Save PO as PDF", the items on the PO will be ordered consistent with the order they were in when added to the Purchase Order. Of note, the order of the items on the PO when displayed on the Purchase Orders tab will be ordered by FulfillmentItems.ShippedOn DESC,FulfillmentItems.EstimatedShipDate DESC. [Build: 6] | |
1100. For D&H users, on the Purchasing window, using OrderStatus, now orders with D&H status of "Non Stock Invoice Complete" will now have their QtyShipped automatically set to the QtyOrdered amount.

1108. Added new "Search Query" complex query search option in the Operator drop down list for searching some fields. Support was added for the Bundle Search, Configuration Search, New Template Search, and the Open Document window the DocName and Item Search. Each word separated by a space will do a contains search. If more than one word is enclosed in double quotes (") then that will be seen as a single search phrase.

1155. There is now an "Installation Password" feature that can be used to prevent an unauthorized person from updating a QuoteWerks Installation. This is especially useful for preventing remote installations from updating without the permission of their IT administrator. It is also useful for IT administrators and resellers in preventing some random user from updating the network installation of QuoteWerks.

[Build: 1.28] | |
1156. When a QuoteWerks update was just installed and a workstation runs QuoteWerks for the first time, it will now prevent other workstations from running QuoteWerks while QuoteWerks is upgrading the data to the new Build. [Build: 1.28] | |

1158. Licensing enforcement no longer uses the .lck file based system. It now uses a Database license metering system. There are some powerful capabilities that come along with this change. Now, if a user is logged into QuoteWerks and locks their machine and leaves for the weekend, users with Master Rights can now revoke their license making it available for other users. When this user comes back they will only have the option to save and close their currently open quotes and exit. The Misc Access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanRevokeOthersLicenseAllocation" can be granted to non Master Rights users to give them this capability. [Build: 1.28] | |
1159. Administrators can now force QuoteWerks to terminate. When an IT administrator wants to make sure everyone is out of QuoteWerks (to apply an update for example) they can force the termination of running instances of QuoteWerks. Any unsaved quotes will be saved as recovery documents. It is not ideal to terminate QuoteWerks this way, but if the admin has no other options, then at least they have the ability to terminate the running exe. The Misc Access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanTerminateOthersRunningInstances" can be granted to non Master Rights users to give them this capability. [Build: 1.28] | |
1160. From the QuoteWerks Login window holding down SHIFT while clicking OK will launch the Logged In Users window where you can see what other users are logged into QuoteWerks. This window will only appear if have entered the correct password for the username. If you have rights to revoke licenses or terminate running instances you can do that from this window. An extra capability of this feature is that if a user is at this login screen and cannot login because there are not enough licenses, an administrator can walk over to this machine, choose their username, enter their password and get access to the Logged In Users window where they can revoke someone else's license. After closing this window, the login window will re-appear for the regular user to then login normally. [Build: 1.28] | |
1161. Licensing events are now recorded. Certain events are always recorded like license revokings, forced terminations are now recorded, reaching max Primary license count, reaching max Real-time license count, and reaching max QuoteValet license count. Other events like "[] Record failed login attempts", and "[] Record successful login/logoff (includes duration)" can be turned on/off under the Security tab of the Tools->Options menu. You can display the Event Viewer by clicking on the [Event Viewer] button on the Utilities->LoggedInUsers menu. [Build: 1.28] | |

Behind the scenes, it will ignore the ShipVia selection and set it to Other internally since that is what is required by Ingram for a Dtype order. [Build: 4.24] | |
1271. ConnectWise 2016.2 is now supported! [Build: 4.21] | |
1272. ConnectWise 2016.3 is now supported! [Build: 4.33] | |
Version 5.1 Build 2 (released December 15, 2015) | |
1273. SugarCRM 7.6 is now supported! [Build: 2.02] | |

1277. There are now options of "Default Primary Layout Filter to 'All'" and "Default Additional Primary Layout Filter to 'All'" on the Misc tab of the User Preferences menu. Normally when a QUOTE document is printed, the filter button will default to QUOTE type layouts. These settings override this standard behavior. [Build: 2.10] | |
1278. There is now a column displaying Internal Notes for Bundles and Configurations on the Bundles and Configurations windows respectively. [Build: 2.10] | |
1279. QuoteValet Auto-Reminders! How much time do you spend following up with customers reminding them that their quotes are about to expire, or resending quotes to them because you know they have not even viewed them yet, or reminding them that they accepted the quote, but have not paid yet? QuoteValet can now do that all automatically for you! You can set the defaults for these options on the Notifications tab of the QuoteValet Setup window. While the defaults will be applied to all quotes uploaded to QuoteValet, you can also control these reminders at the individual quote level through the [Reminder options] button on the Upload To QuoteValet window. As usual all of these email notification templates are editable for you to customize! Here is a complete list of QuoteValet Auto-Reminder email options:
Remind Recipient if document NOT VIEWED within x days.
Remind Recipient when document is EXPIRING in x days.
Remind Recipient when document is accepted but NOT PAID after x days.
Remind SalesRep if document NOT VIEWED within x days.
Remind SalesRep when document is EXPIRING in x days.
Remind SalesRep when document is accepted but NOT PAID after x days. [Build: 2.25] | |
1280. For QuoteValet users, the SalesRep is notified by email the FIRST time a customer views the quote since it was uploaded to QuoteValet. There is now an option to have QuoteValet notify the Sales Rep by email EVERY time the customer views the quote. Contact support to request that option be activated. Posted live Dec-4-2015 10:00am. [Build: 2.25] | |
1281. For Autotask users, you can now create a new Autotask Company and Contact record from the QuoteWerks SoldTo/ShipTo tab using the information already entered on the SoldTo/ShipTo tab. For the feature to be enabled, the SoldTo field cannot already be populated with a contact that was retrieved from Autotask. Also, the Company field, Contact field, and Phone field must also be populated. This feature is available on the toolbar above the SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo areas of the Quote WorkBook. There is also an Access Right "CannotCreateCRMContact" that you can set if you do not want specific users to be able to use this feature. [Build: 2.25] | |
1282. For Autotask users, when saving the Quote, you have the ability to create a new Account To-Do. The To-Do can be linked to the Autotask Account, Contact, and/or Opportunity. When saving an existing Quote in QuoteWerks you have the option to up update the existing Account To-Do that was created by QuoteWerks. Autotask Account To-Dos are a great way to set a reminder about the quote you are working on such as a follow-up call. [Build: 2.25] | |
1283. For Autotask users, if QuoteWerks creates an Account To-Do when saving the quote, an auto-link will be generated for you on the Links Tab. Clicking on this auto-link will launch the Autotask Account To-Do in a browser. [Build: 2.25] | |
1284. For Autotask users, there is now a new DataLink option for Account->&AccountManager. This macro will retrieve the Account Manager's name for the specified contact into the designated field. Previously, you could only retrieve the OwnerResourceID field which was a numeric record id for the Account Manager. [Build: 2.25] | |
1285. The new Salesforce.com integration re-written to use newer SOAP API introduced in QuoteWerks version 5.1 Build 1 now integrates with non-Enterprise editions of salesforce.com without requiring the salesforce.com API module. [Build: 2.25] | |
1286. On the Purchase Orders tab and Ordered Items tab of the Purchasing Window, the DocNo that the POItem is from is now displayed with the PO Item details. [Build: 2.25] | |
1287. There are now 3 new options for merging PDF files on the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. With the print engine redesign in version 5.1 all of the print elements like Literature, Spec Sheets, File Links, etc are combined into a single PDF file that also contains the quote. When emailing a quote, some users prefer to not combine the Literature, Spec Sheets, and File Links into the actual PDF file that contains the quote itself. We have added the following options to allow for this: "Merge Literature with primary quote PDF", "Merge Spec Sheets with primary quote PDF", "Merge File Link with primary quote PDF". [Build: 2.25] | |
1288. The main toolbar New split-button now has menu items "New Quote", "New Order", "New Invoice". [Build: 2.25] | |
1289. The main toolbar New split-button now has a Most Recently Used (MRU) menu on the recent templates you have used. [Build: 2.25] | |
1290. Added new Misc Access rights "CannotCreateNewQuoteDocuments", "CannotCreateNewOrderDocuments", and "CannotCreateNewInvoiceDocuments". These rights do not have any affect on converting documents or duplicating documents. These rights are designed to stop a user from creating fresh empty documents. [Build: 2.25] | |
1291. On the Search Fields tab of the Open Document window, under the Item drop down, you can now select PONumber and do a line item level search for a PONumber. [Build: 2.25] | |
1292. Added Misc Access right "CannotModifyManagementReports". When this is set, on the Management Reports window, a user cannot click on the [Edit] button which prevents them from changing any aspects of the selected report. [Build: 2.25] | |
1293. The DataLink can now be used to populate the SalesRep field. [Build: 2.25] | |
1294. On the Open Document window, pressing ENTER while a record in the grid is selected will open the document. [Build: 2.25] | |
1295. Multiple Monitor enhanced support. Changes have been made to better control which monitors windows appear on when they open. When the "Don't remember window location" option on the Misc tab under Tools->My Preferences is checked, window locations will not be remembered, so windows like the Product Lookup window will just open on the same monitor as the main QuoteWerks application. If this is unchecked then QuoteWerks will remember the last location you positioned the following QuoteWerks windows: Main window, Product Lookup, Configurator, Purchasing, QuoteValet Dashboard, Send Email, and Email Templates. QuoteWerks will position them in those locations the next time you open those windows. QuoteWerks already remembers window sizes and locations per each machine that you use to run QuoteWerks. Now it will also remember separate settings for when you are remoted (using RDP) into a machine running QuoteWerks, and even per which remote machine you are using. This is very useful since often when you remote in you only have access to one monitor, rather than your multiple monitors you have access to when sitting in front of your machine. [Build: 2.25] | |
Version 5.1 Build 1 (released November 3, 2015) | |
1296. ACT! version 18 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1297. ACT! for Web version 17 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1298. QuickBooks 2016 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1299. Sage 50 US Edition (Peachtree) 2016 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1300. MS CRM v7.1 (2015 update 1) is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1301. ConnectWise 2015.5 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1302. ConnectWise 2015.6 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1303. Autosave feature. Autosave will save the quote to the database about every 2 minutes as triggered by activity. Since AutoSave is automatic and inline while you are composing your quote, AutoSave quickly saves the quote to the database, but does not save changes to the CRM or to QuoteValet since those take much longer. When you do a full save you will be prompted to update your CRM and QuoteValet. Also when a quote is closed that was only AutoSaved, you will be prompted to do a full save. If the currently open quote has never been saved you will be prompted to save the quote, after which auto-saves will then continue automatically without further input. AutoSave can be enabled per user by checking the "Enable AutoSave" checkbox on the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. [Build: 1] | |
1304. In June 2015 Google has discontinued the API QuoteWerks (and other apps) used to query Google contacts. Google contacts integration was re-written to use Google's new API.
[Build: 1] | |
1305. Salesforce.com integration re-written to use newer SOAP API. Now salesforce.com custom fields listed in the DataLink mappings will show the actual field names with the "__c" postfix rather than field ids. When this update is installed, it will require that you re-setup any DataLink mappings that mapped data to or from a salesforce.com custom field to use their new "__c" name.
[Build: 1] | |
1306. QuoteWerks now merges Microsoft Word Documents without automating Microsoft Word. As a result, Microsoft Word Merging no longer requires Microsoft Word to be installed or running on workstations. Additionally, instead of a merge taking 90 seconds when automating Word, the merge takes 5 seconds or less. [Build: 1] | |
1307. The printing system has been completely revised. Fundamentally the change is that now all output creates a PDF file that is then previewed, printed, emailed, etc. These changes are required to accommodate the upcoming QuoteWerks Web offering. Additionally, all the individual components are now created as individual PDF files and then merged together. This approach allows for control of the order in which the individual print elements are assembled which now can be manually adjusted on the Print window. These changes will affect the ability to display the "Page X of Y" page totals. The "Page X" will still work, but since the individual print elements are individually created as separate PDF files and then later merged together, at the time of the creation of each individual print element the "of Y" component is unknown and therefore cannot be supplied. As a solution to this QuoteWerks will automatically write into the bottom right corner of each page of all the assembled PDF files the "page x of y" notation onto each page of all the assembled PDF files.
[Build: 1] | |
1308. On the Print window, the Layouts tab now has two subtabs "Primary" and "Additional". You can now select multiple print layouts and combine them together in whatever order you like resulting in a single output. Prior to this feature you could only select one layout that output all the line items. With this new functionality, for example, you can create an output that prints all the line items, and then another layout that just prints the summary of the sections based on item type. You can select a single layout on the "Primary" subtab, and you can select multiple layouts on the "Additional" subtab. [Build: 1] | |
1309. If a Word documents is selected from the File Links tab during the print selections process, that file is now merged and converted to PDF format and included in the Single PDF output file. Previously, when a word document was selected from the Links tab on the Print window and the option to email was selected, the word document would just be included in the email as an attachment. [Build: 1] | |
1310. Word documents can now be used as Spec Sheet documents. [Build: 1] | |
1311. Word documents can now be used as Literature documents. [Build: 1] | |
1312. Word documents can now be used as CoverPage documents. [Build: 1] | |
1313. PNG images can now be inserted into the Print Layouts. [Build: 1] | |
1314. On the Print window, on the "Primary" and "Additional" subtabs of the Layout tab, there is now a "Filter by" section that enables you to quickly filter the type of print layouts displayed in the list. The filters are All/Quote/Order/Sales Order/Purchase Order. [Build: 1] | |
1315. PNG and JPG files are compressed image files. When they are embedded into the layout's FPC file, they were stored in an uncompressed MUCH larger size. Now they are stored in the FPC file in their smaller compressed size. [Build: 1] | |
1316. The Preview window now has [Find] and [Find Next] buttons. [Build: 1] | |
1317. The Preview window now has [Zoom in] and [Zoom out] buttons. [Build: 1] | |
1318. On the Reports window, there is now a [Save as PDF] button to enable you to run and save the report directly to a PDF file. [Build: 1] | |
1319. The Misc Access right "CannotDisplayAllLayouts" has been renamed to "CannotUsePrintLayoutTypeDifferentThanDocType". [Build: 1] | |
1320. Added the new Misc Access rights "CannotUseOrderPrintLayout", "CannotUseInvoicePrintLayout", "CannotUseSOPrintLayout", and "CannotUsePOPrintLayout". These can be used to control if these types of print layouts appear on the Layouts tab of the Print window. [Build: 1] | |
1321. Per each user, you can now set a default Cover Page. You do this by clicking on the black star icon on the Cover Page tab of the Print window. This will set the default for the logged in user for the type of document that is currently open like QUOTE, ORDER, or INVOICE. You can set a default cover page individually for each of the 3 doc types. [Build: 1] | |
1322. Per each user, you can now set a default Print Layout. You do this by right clicking a Print Layout or Word Document on the "Primary" subtab of the Layouts tab of the Print window. This will set the default for the logged in user for the type of document that is currently open like QUOTE, ORDER, or INVOICE. You can set a default Print Layout individually for each of the 3 doc types. [Build: 1] | |
1323. The [New] toolbar button on the main window, now has a split-button menu option for 'New from Template'. [Build: 1] | |
1324. For Product Content Subscribers, when using the Etilize Panel on the Quote Workbook to change the Vendor Cost of an existing line on the quote and the Price for the line is calculated using a price modifier, the Adjust Price window will now appear. This enables you to decide how to handle the cost change like "Keep the original price and clear Price Modifier", "Keep the original Price Modifier", "Keep original price and re-calculate closest Price Modifier", or "Manually adjust the Price Modifier". [Build: 1] | |
1325. Added a Edit->Add Formula menu to make it easier to add Product/Service type line item using a formula to calculate the price for it. You still use the "Edit->Product/Service formula..." menu to edit the formula. [Build: 1] | |
1326. The Summary Line now has some additional features. When a Percent Discount line item is directly below the Summary Line, and the Summary line is summing the ExtendedPrice field, if the TaxCode for the discount line is set to a taxable code, the discount amount will also lower the appropriate amount of sales tax. [Build: 1] | |
1327. On the Edit Product window, the F2Lookup is now supported for the Internal Part Number field. [Build: 1] | |
1328. For Autotask users, when QuoteWerks creates items on an Autotask quote, QuoteWerks can now create Autotask Service Items in addition to Autotask Product and Autotask Cost Items. [Build: 1] | |
1329. For the feature where QuoteWerks automatically writes the "page x of y" notation onto the bottom right of each page of all the assembled PDF files, you can now control the "page x of y text" by setting the ini key "PageCountPhraseMacro=%x% of %y%" under the [Defaults] section of the site.ini file. Also, you can disable this phrase from being written at all by setting the ini key "DisablePageCountPhraseMacro=-1" under the [Defaults] section of the site.ini file. [Build: 1] | |
1330. When a document requires an approval before an action can be performed, there is now a new Misc Access security right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanOverrideApprovalRequirement" that can be assigned to any users that you want to give the authority to be able to override the required approval.
[Build: 1] | |
1331. For MS CRM users, you can now create a new MS CRM Company record from the QuoteWerks SoldTo/ShipTo tab using the information already entered on the SoldTo/ShipTo tab. For the feature to be enabled, the SoldTo field cannot already be populated with a contact that was retrieved from MS CRM. Also, the Company field and Contact field must both be populated. This feature is available on the toolbar above the SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo areas of the Quote WorkBook. There is also an Access Right "CannotCreateCRMContact" that you can set if you do not want specific users to be able to use this feature. [Build: 1] | |
1332. For Corporate Edition users, you can now create custom menu items under Tools->Customize Menus that run VBS VBScript files. This enables you to write code to perform actions on the currently open quote when selecting custom menu options. For example, you can create a new Edit->Round Prices by ItemType menu and then have it run VBScript code in the specified file which will perform that action. You can create many different custom menus to perform unique different actions on the quote based on your needs rather than the same script running every time for every quote (like the Event driven scripting). In the script you will have access to the API Application object and other objects. For a complete list of available objects, please see the QuoteWerks API SDK. Additionally, We offer professional services to assist in the writing of these scripts. [Build: 1] | |
1333. You can now edit a Serial Number on the Purchase Orders or Ordered Items tab of the Purchasing window. To edit the Serial Number, hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the Serial Number hyperlink. [Build: 1] | |
1334. You can now edit a tracking number on the Purchase Orders or Ordered Items tab of the Purchasing window. To edit the tracking number, hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the tracking number hyperlink. [Build: 1] | |
1335. The Optional Items window now displays the Quantity of the optional item in a column. [Build: 1] | |
1336. The Required Items window now displays the Quantity of the required item in a column. [Build: 1] | |
1337. On the PO Items list on Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "Change ShipVia..." right click menu. This is useful for changing this if the user made a mistake on a manual PO when initially specifying the ShipVia. This is also useful for specifying the ShipVia for electronically placed orders for situations when the PO item is being drop shipped directly by the manufacturer since you usually do not receive that information back from the distributor. Currently the only ShipVia options are "UPS Ground,FedEx Ground,FedEx Standard Overnight" since those are the ShipVia values that QuoteWerks generates shipping tracking URLs for.
[Build: 1] | |
1338. On the Purchase Orders list on the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "E-mail PO..." right click menu. This will generate an HTML formatted Purchase Order and pre-fill the Send Email window with it. You can use this to email purchase orders to your vendors. The html format of the PO is not editable at this time. [Build: 1] | |
1339. On the Purchase Orders list on the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "Save PO as PDF..." right click menu. This uses the same non-editable format as the html PO. [Build: 1] | |
1340. On the Purchasing tab of the Purchasing window when you use the [Create PO] button to create a manual PO, you can now enter ship to location details in the new Purchase Order. [Build: 1] | |
1341. On the Purchasing window, when entering tracking numbers manually, USPS is now available as a Carrier selection. You can also click on that tracking number and it will display the tracking information on the USPS (US Postal Service) website. [Build: 1] | |
1342. On the Purchase Orders list on the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window the "Edit PO..." right click menu now enables you to edit ShipTo information if the Purchase Order was a manually created Purchase Order. [Build: 1] | |
1343. There is now a Site-wide setting to exclude up to four ItemTypes from being displayed on the Purchasing tab of the Purchasing window. This feature is used to exclude items that you do not need to create purchase orders for such as labor or items from your own inventory. These exclusions can be setup on the Accounting tab of the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 1] | |
1344. On the Purchase Orders list on the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "Disable Real-time Status Updates..." right click menu available for Purchase Orders that QuoteWerks placed electronically with Tech Data, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, or D&H. In certain cases you will want to start making manual changes to the status of the Purchase order. When you do that you can disable the real-time status updates so that it does not overwrite your changes. Once you have disabled the real-time status updates, you can manually enter tracking numbers, serial numbers, and receive the items manually. Once real-time status updates have been disabled, an "E*" indicator will be displayed next to the order date instead of the regular "E" for electronic order.
[Build: 1] | |
1345. On the PO Items list on Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "Remove FulfillmentItem record (Override)..." right click menu. This is useful in accommodating distributor changes that happen to orders. For example, if you place an order for 4 hard drives and Tech Data initially returns an order status saying that all 4 will ship together from a single warehouse, QuoteWerks would create that record. However, if a day later, you receive a new order status saying that the 4 drives will ship from 3 different warehouses, you can use this feature to remove the single FulfillmentItem record that contained 4 items, then you can get another order status update and this time QuoteWerks will be updated with the 3 separate FulfillmentItem records from each warehouse that will fulfill the 4 items total.
[Build: 1] | |
1346. On the PO Items list on Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "Mark as Shipped (Override)..." right click menu. This is useful in accommodating distributor changes that happen to orders. For example, if you place an order for 1 hard drive from D&H and D&H initially returns an order status saying that the hard drive will be backordered, QuoteWerks will record this. Then a day later D&H modifies the PO to create a new sales order for the same item, but this time ordering it direct from Lenovo, this now creates duplicate records for the same order. In this case you will want to use the other new feature "Remove FulfillmentItem record (Override)..." to remove the record for the backordered item that will never ship. Then you will want to use this new "Mark as Shipped (Override)..." feature to flag the direct shipped hard drive as shipped since D&H will not be returning status updates of when vendor drop shipped item is shipped. This feature will then change the QuoteWerks FulfillmentItem record to indicate "Shipped" instead of "Open".
[Build: 1] | |
1347. On the Purchase Orders list on Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now an "Export..." right click menu if you are holding the SHIFT key when right clicking. This can be used to email QuoteWerks Technical Support an electronic purchase order for use in debugging issues.
[Build: 1] | |
1348. On the Purchase Orders list on Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a "Cancel PO..." right click menu. This is useful to indicate that an order has been canceled. This does not actually cancel an order with a distributor.
[Build: 1] | |
1349. Added new option in the Item Cost changed window of "Keep original price and clear Price Modifier". All the numbers now are formatted with currency and thousands separators. The first option has been renamed to "Attempt to keep the original price by re-calculating to closest Price Modifier". The text color of this first option will change the color red if the original price cannot be achieved using a Price Modifier.
[Build: 1] | |
1350. The Datalink feature now enables you to configure mappings when retrieving Ship To and Bill To Contacts from your contact manager. Previously, you were limited to only when retrieving the Sold To Contact. This feature is useful if you store Tax Rate information in your CRM under ship to contacts vs your SoldTo contacts as it can now be retrieved when your Ship To contact is added to the QuoteWerks document. This new mapping can be used in so many ways including copying and information from ShipTo or BillTo contact fields in your CRM into a CustomText field in QuoteWerks, effectively filling out numerous fields in the quote with the successive selection of SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo contacts. [Build: 1] | |
1351. Added F2Lookup support for the Ship From postal code on the Real-time shipping estimate window. Useful to enter in common Ship From postal codes like the postal codes of each of the warehouses of your distributors. useful in creating shipping cost estimates that your distributors may charge you. [Build: 1] | |
1352. For Product Content Subscribers, there is a [Remove 0 Availability] button on the Etilize Product Comparison window. After retrieving Pricing and Availability from your distributors, click on this button to remove all results in the Product Comparison that do not availability from at least one of the distributors found by Etilize and the PartLocator. While this feature is very useful, it is important to note, that some distributors will show 0 physical warehouse availability, but would be able to drop ship direct from the manufacturer. [Build: 1] | |
1353. For Product Content Subscribers, there is a [Remove 0 Cost] button on the Etilize Product Comparison window. After retrieving Pricing and Availability from your distributors, click on this button to remove all results in the Product Comparison that do not have a Cost > 0 from at least one of the distributors found by Etilize and the PartLocator. This will also remove items that are not available from at least one distributor. If real-time Pricing and Availability is requested from a distributor and the results return that the distributor does not carry the item or you are not authorized to sell the item, QuoteWerks will show the result with a 0.00 cost. Using this feature you can de-clutter and remove lots of results that are non-useable from your search results.
[Build: 1] | |
1354. Outlook 2016 is now supported! [Build: 1.01] | |
1355. The QuoteValet Dashboard and the QuoteValet Web dashboard now indicate when a quote is "LOST" or "Open (EXPIRED)" [Build: 1.01] | |
1356. For QuoteValet users, When you Convert a Quote to Lost, there is now an option to recall the quote if it was uploaded to QuoteValet. [Build: 1.01] | |
1357. For Quotevalet users, if a quote that was uploaded to QuoteValet is converted to Lost, then if the customer views the quote using the old QuoteValet link the customer will not be able to accept the quote and they will see a message indicated that an updated quote is required. [Build: 1.01] | |
1358. The installation and updating process is 50% faster in most cases. [Build: 1] | |
Version 5.0 Build 4 (released July 9, 2015) | |
1359. MS CRM 2015 (v7.0) is now supported! [Build: 4.09] | |
1360. ConnectWise 2015.3 is now supported! [Build: 4.09] | |
1361. The Etilize search capabilities have been significantly improved. After doing the initial search, you can now drill down by selecting Category, Manufacturer, and Product Feature attributes to narrow down the results of your search. For example, when searching for a laptop, you can narrow the Etilize results by selecting the screen size, RAM, Hard Drive size, etc. [Build: 4.09] | |
1362. The Etilize panel now processes Pricing & Availability requests simultaneously resulting in massive speed increases. Previously, if you had accounts with Tech Data, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, and D & H, QuoteWerks would request real-time Pricing and Availability for each sequentially. Each real-time request takes between 1 and 5 seconds depending on the distributor and the time of day, so for 4 distributors, it would take up to 20 seconds to obtain pricing for all of the distributors of an item. With the new parallel processing, QuoteWerks requests real-time Pricing and Availability from all of the distributors for an item at the same time. This process only takes as long as the slowest distributor response time. In this scenario, this new feature could save you 15 seconds or more just on a single item! [Build: 4.09] | |
1363. The Etilize panel now has a Similar Items tab. This will contain a list of products that are similar in feature set to the product you are looking at. This is particularly useful when the item you searched for is not in stock, you can use this to find a similar product that is in stock. This also provides you with an easy way to see a list of products to Cross-Sell. [Build: 4.09] | |
1364. The Etilize panel now has an Upsell items tab. This will contain a list of products would be an up sell to the selected product using Etilize's advanced suggested selling engine. These products will be better products with more features and usually sold for a higher price. With this, you can easily provide Good, Better, Best options on your quotes increasing the chance that customers will choose the higher priced items, increasing your sales.
[Build: 4.09] | |
1365. Etilize Product Comparison window. The QuoteWerks Product Content subscription now supports side-by-side comparison of Etilize items. From the Etilize panel you click [Compare] which will load the item into this window. You can compare up to 15 items at the same time (limited by monitor size). The compare displays all the attributes of each item in a table format. There is an option to "Highlight Product Differences" making it easy to pin point differences between the items. On this Compare window, you can also see all the prices and availability for all the items for all the distributors at the same time empowering you with all the information needed to make the best choice for your needs.

1483. For Act! for Web users, ACT! for Web v16 and 2013 are now supported including on both 64-bit or 32-bit Windows Server OS. [Build: 8] | |
1484. The Product Content Subscription now has PartLocator support for Printer Essentials. We've negotiated an arrangement with Printer Essentials to host their parts list to provide our mutual customers with a better ability to locate Printer Essentials part numbers when quoting. [Build: 8] | |
1485. For Autotask users, you can now create Purchase Orders in Autotask. Under the new Tools->Purchasing menu you have access to all the Order items in QuoteWerks and can easily create Autotask Purchase Orders that contain items from one or multiple orders. Items that do not exist in Autotask will be created. Additionally if using the Online Ordering feature of the real-time module, after the items are ordered you will be asked if you want to create a Purchase Order in Autotask for the items you just ordered electronically. To enable this functionality, select Autotask as the Purchase Order Integration on the Settings tab of the Autotask setup window. [Build: 8] | |
1486. For Autotask users, when receiving items on the QuoteWerks Purchasing window, the item(s) will be received in Autotask along with the serial number received (if specified). For QuoteWerks to mark the items as received in Autotask, the items must already be on a Purchase Order that QuoteWerks created in Autotask. To enable this receiving feature, check the checkbox "Sync Received Items to Autotask" on the Settings tab of the Autotask setup window. Also on this window, the Purchase Order Integration must be set to Autotask. [Build: 8] | |
1487. For Autotask users, new quotes can now be created starting with an Autotask Opportunity. When a new opportunity is created in Autotask or an existing opportunity in Autotask is set to have an opportunity stage of "Create Quote" or other pre-defined stage, the Autotask Opportunity will appear in the QuoteWerks My Summary Dashboard under the Notifications section. From there you can click on the "Create Quote for Autotask Opportunity" link. This will create a new quote in QuoteWerks and populate the SoldTo information with the customer information associated with the opportunity. It will also associate the opportunity with the quote so that when saving the quote this existing opportunity will be updated. This feature was designed so that you can have a person out in the field creating a new Autotask opportunity using Autotask mobile and just enter some basic specifications for the opportunity. Then back in the office, the person assigned to create quotes will automatically be notified that they need to create a quote for this opportunity. The same concept applies even if the opportunity is created using regular Autotask vs Autotask Mobile. From the Notifications section on the Dashboard, you can also click on a link to view the opportunity in Autotask. [Build: 8] | |
1488. For ConnectWise users, when creating a new quote from a Notification on your Dashboard, products on the ConnectWise Opportunity will be added to the new quote. This is helpful when using outside solutions like Labtech or JoomConnect that create Opportunities in ConnectWise. [Build: 8] | |
1489. For ConnectWise users, Opportunity Notifications can now be triggered by up to three different Opportunity Status values in ConnectWise. [Build: 8] | |
1490. For ConnectWise users, you can set the default the Service Board, Status, and Service Type to be used when creating new Service Tickets from QuoteWerks. These defaults are set on the Settings tab of the ConnectWise Setup. [Build: 8] | |
1491. For ConnectWise users, you can set defaults for the copying of products and services to new Service Tickets like: "Products and Services", "Each Service", "Services Only", "Products Only", or " | |
1492. For ConnectWise users, when completing an opportunity as Won in QuoteWerks, there is now an option to be warned if you did not select any Service Ticket creation option on the Won Opportunity. This default is set on the Settings tab of the ConnectWise Setup. [Build: 8] | |
1493. Recurring Groups now support using an APR or Lease Factor to calculate the monthly payment. Defaults settings for this can be set on the Misc tab of the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 8] | |
1494. For the Deposit Amount, the "Add up multiple matching line items in the document" calculations now supports up to 5 values. [Build: 8] | |
1495. For a Formula field, the "Add up multiple matching line items in the document" calculations now supports up to 5 values. [Build: 8] | |
1496. For the Summary Line, you can now specify up to 5 matching values to use when adding up values. [Build: 8] | |
1497. The Deposit Amount, Formula, and Summary line "Add up multiple matching line items in the document" feature now supports the Contains and BeginsWith operators. [Build: 8] | |
1498. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing Window, there is now a PO Item right click menu of "Delete...". With this you can delete PO items from manually created Purchase Orders. This feature is primarily used, for example, when you create a manual PO, for a vendor, including two items on it and then find out that the distributor requires that both items cannot be on the same PO. [Build: 8] | |
1499. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing Window, there is now a PO Item right click menu of "Mark ItemReceipt As Exported to Accounting...". If you have already received the item in QuickBooks directly, then choose this option to let QuoteWerks know so that it does not try to Receive against that PO item in QuickBooks when doing the ItemReceipt synchronization. [Build: 8] | |
1500. For QuickBooks ItemReceipt users, there is now a feature so that when you first activate this feature, it will prompt you to mark Items Received in QuoteWerks prior to the feature activation as already exported to QuickBooks. This happens when the "Sync Received Items to QuickBooks" option is checked on the QuickBooks setup screen. If it is already checked, then uncheck it, save, then go back into setup and check it and then click [Ok]. [Build: 8] | |
1501. When selecting File->Duplicate, the OrderDate column is now cleared if the option "Remove Line Item SONumber, PONumber, and OrderDate" is selected. [Build: 8] | |
1502. For API users, added new Application.DoAction actions of "CallMenuProductsLookup", "CallMenuFilePrint", "CallMenuEditPasteSpecial" [Build: 8] | |
1503. Added support for < | |
1504. Sage 50 US Edition (Peachtree) 2015 is now supported! [Build: 8.06] | |
1505. For salesforce.com users, when testing the credentials from the Contacts->Setup Contact Manager window, the success message will now display what salesforce.com instance you are connecting to. For example "na3.salesforce.com". [Build: 8.06] | |
Version 4.9 Build 7 (released May 8, 2014) | |
1506. ConnectWise 2014.3 is now supported! [Build: 7] | |
1507. SugarCRM 7.0 and 7.1 are now supported! [Build: 7] | |
1508. For SugarCRM Enterprise 7.0 and higher users, Opportunity Revenue Line Items are now supported in SugarCRM opportunities. [Build: 7] | |
1509. GoldMine 2014.1 is now supported! [Build: 7] | |
1510. The Product Content Subscription now has PartLocator support for ScanSource. We've negotiated an arrangement with ScanSource to host their parts list to provide our mutual customers with a better ability to locate ScanSource part numbers when quoting. This catalog includes the parts from all divisions of ScanSource. [Build: 7] | |
1511. For salesforce.com users, there is an option for writing product details into the salesforce.com opportunity. If the products do not exist in salesforce.com there is an option to create them. There is also an option for Grouped Bundles to only send over the Grouped Bundle header line instead of the individual products. A default Price Book can be set for the salesforce.com opportunities QuoteWerks creates. This opportunity products integration also supports the CRM Product ID partnumber generation feature. To activate this functionality, choose the Contacts->Setup Contact Manager menu, choose salesforce.com, click [Setup], and then check the option to write details. [Build: 7] | |
1512. The DataLink feature has been vastly improved. For salesforce.com users, you can configure the DataLink to copy information from QuoteWerks into salesforce.com opportunity fields when QuoteWerks creates or updates a salesforce.com opportunity. This can be done on the opportunity level with the EventAction of "CRMOppHeader_CreateUpdate". Information can also be copied at the line item level when QuoteWerks is creating/updating salesforce.com opportunity product items using the EventAction of "CRMOppItem_CreateUpdate". The DataLink is bi-directional so after the Opportunity is created/updated in salesforce.com you can setup a DataLink mapping to copy information from the salesforce.com opportunity back into the QuoteWerks quote. This can be done at the opportunity level and also the opportunity product items level enabling you to update QuoteWerks line item columns with information from the salesforce.com opportunity or opportunity product items. [Build: 7] | |
1513. Added new 'Tip of the Day' wizard. Help->Tip of the Day menu has options to copy the tip to the clipboard and bookmark your favorite tips. You can hold SHIFT and click [Next] or [Previous] to cycle through bookmarked tips. [Build: 7] | |
1514. Added new Tools->Refresh item Details menu. With this you can refresh line item information by re-retrieving field information from the product data source that the item is associated with. The ManufacturerPartNumber field will be used to lookup the product in the product database indicated in the Vendor field. The feature supports multiple-selections enabling you to update multiple line items at the same time. The Refresh item Details window enables you to choose which individual fields you would like to refresh and will remember your selections when updating multiple line items at the same time. The refreshing obeys the same Tools->Options Field Links tab settings use when adding items to the quote. There is also toolbar button above the grid for this Refresh item Details feature. [Build: 7] | |
1515. For ConnectWise users, you can now create a new ConnectWise Company record from the QuoteWerks SoldTo/ShipTo tab. For the feature to be enabled, the SoldTo field cannot already be populated with a contact that was retrieved from ConnectWise. Also, the Company field and Contact field must both be populated. This feature is available on the toolbar above the SoldTo, ShipTo, and BillTo areas of the Quote WorkBook. There is also an Access Right "CannotCreateCRMContact" that you can set if you do not want specific users to be able to use this feature. [Build: 7] | |
1516. For Peachtree users, on the Defaults tab of the Peachtree setup, you can now choose to not set accounts for new item defaults. [Build: 7] | |
1517. For Peachtree users, on the Create Peachtree Item window, you can now choose "Cost of Sales" type accounts for the Salary/Wages Account" for "Non-stock item" items. [Build: 7] | |
1518. For Tech Data online ordering users, there is now options to choose the payment method for the order as Terms, your Flooring Account, or your credit card on file with Tech Data. [Build: 7] | |
1519. For Online ordering users, the Special Instructions field for Tech Data, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, and D&H now support the F2Lookup feature. Just press the F2 key or double-click in the field to bring up a list of selections for the field. [Build: 7] | |
1520. Added options "Don't Unlock/Rescind Approval when converting to Order" and "Don't Unlock/Rescind Approval when converting to Invoice" on the Installation tab under the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 7] | |
1521. For ConnectWise users, on the Products.Bundles tab of the ConnectWise Setup, there are new options on how to handle QuoteWerks Recurring Groups when sending them over to a ConnectWise Opportunity. The new options are a) "Represent Grouped Bundles (Recurring) as", b) "ConnectWise Bundle product ID (recurring):", c) "Grouped Bundle Header Line (Recurring) Item Type". [Build: 7] | |
1522. For Product Content Subscribers, the QuoteWerks Tax Code can now be mapped to an Etilize Category Name. If no Tax Code is mapped, the default tax code set on the Document Items Tab of the Tools->Options Menu will be used. As an example, this allows you to setup automatic mappings to tax hardware and not tax software renewals. [Build: 7] | |
1523. For Product Content Subscribers in North America, there is now an option to select the Etilize Language of English, French, or Spanish. Etilize populates all of their products with English descriptions and a subset in French and Spanish. The catalog size for non-English Languages are not as large and you will have limited results. [Build: 7] | |
1524. On the Purchasing window, the tracking number feature to track the shipments on the Shipping Carriers website now supports shipping carrier services of "FedEx Priority Overnight" and "FEDEX 1DAYPM". [Build: 7] | |
Version 4.9 Build 4 (released February 25, 2014) | |
1525. ConnectWise 2014.2 is now supported. [Build: 4] | |
1526. ConnectWise 2014.1 is now supported. [Build: 4] | |
1527. ConnectWise 2013.4 is now supported. [Build: 4] | |
1528. SalesLogix 8.1 is now supported! [Build: 4] | |
1529. SalesLogix 8.0 is now supported! [Build: 4] | |
1530. For UK users, the QuoteWerks Product Content subscription (powered by Etilize) now supports Accessories for the UK. Subscribers in the USA and Canada already have this feature. Including these manufacturer suggested accessories on your quotes is an easy way to up-sell options and a great way to generate more revenue. [Build: 4] | |
1531. For QuoteValet users, the payment gateway of FirstData e4 is now supported! [Build: 4] | |
1532. QuoteWerks user manual is now an HTML based help system! [Build: 4] | |
1533. For ConnectWise users, ConnectWise Bundles are now supported in ConnectWise Opportunities. When creating/updating a ConnectWise Opportunity QuoteWerks "Grouped Bundles" are now created in the ConnectWise Opportunity as Bundles (under the Forecast tab). With this new support, in the ConnectWise Opportunity you will see the bundle header and the corresponding products that make up that bundle. This replaces the functionality where the bundled items were de-bundled and only sent over to the ConnectWise Opportunity as individual product line items with no bundle grouping at all. With this set of changes, we still retain the option "only create a single summary product in ConnectWise (not the individual group items)" for any customers that prefer this. The QuoteWerks bundle item attributes of HidePrice and HideQuantity are transferred over to the ConnectWise Opportunity bundle. When QuoteWerks creates the ConnectWise bundle in the ConnectWise Opportunity, for the ConnectWise Bundle Product ID it will use the Product ID specified in the setup field 'ConnectWise Bundle Product ID' on the Products.Bundles tab of the ConnectWise setup window. If the Group Header line item in QuoteWerks has a value entered in the field that is mapped to the ConnectWise Product ID then QuoteWerks will attempt to use that Product ID as the ConnectWise Opportunity Bundle line Product ID. If the Product ID does not exist in ConnectWise, QuoteWerks will create it. When Bundle Products are created in ConnectWise, all applicable standard product mappings like Product Type, Category/SubCategory and Unit of Measure are applied when creating the new Bundle Product.
[Build: 4] | |
1534. For ConnectWise users, when sending over grouped bundles to ConnectWise Opportunities as ConnectWise bundles you can now control if the bundle product in the ConnectWise Opportunity should create a Project phase when the Opportunity is converted to a Project from within ConnectWise. You can map the IsProjectPhase setting on the Products.Bundles tab under the ConnectWise Setup. [Build: 4] | |
1535. For ConnectWise users, added an option "Enable multiple Quotes per Opportunity" so this behavior can be controlled. For new installations, this option is disabled by default. If enabled, this option to associate multiple quotes with a single ConnectWise opportunity is an older behavior that is no longer supported. This option is only here for existing ConnectWise users that are still relying on this behavior. For all others, this should not be checked as ConnectWise itself does not support having multiple quotes per single opportunity.
[Build: 4] | |
1536. For ConnectWise users, the ConnectWise Category/Subcategory mappings can be used to determine the QuoteWerks Item type when retrieving items from the ConnectWise Product database. Prior to this change, only the ConnectWise Product Type could be used to map to the QuoteWerks Item Type. Which of these two sets of mappings that controls which set of mappings are used is located on the Products.Product List tab of the ConnectWise Setup window. [Build: 4] | |
1537. For Autotask users, you can now specify a default tax code when using Autotask Products and Autotask Services as Product Sources. This was already available for Autotask Labor items. [Build: 4] | |
1538. The Promo End date for any Tech Data promo price will now be displayed on the Etilize panel. [Build: 4] | |
1539. For ConnectWise users, when composing an email in QuoteWerks, you can can now select the email addresses belonging to any contact that is associated with the ConnectWise company selected as the Sold To. [Build: 4] | |
1540. For ConnectWise users, when composing an email in QuoteWerks, you can now search the entire list of ConnectWise contacts for additional email recipients. The fields that can be searched by are: CompanyName, FirstName, LastName, Phone, email. [Build: 4] | |
1541. For ConnectWise Users, when pulling in Company->TaxRate via the DataLink, if no TaxCode is defined on the selected ConnectWise Site then the TaxCode specified on the Company Finance record will be used. [Build: 4] | |
1542. When creating products in ConnectWise, QuoteWerks now sets the ConnectWise Product's "Serialized" checkbox based on the ItemType mapping. These mappings can be setup on the Opportunities.Products.Serialized tab of the ConnectWise Setup window. The ConnectWise serialized features only work when you have the appropriate ConnectWise inventory module. [Build: 4] | |
1543. There is now a Purchase Order Integration option to set under the Tools->Options menu. This same selection is in the setup wizard and is also on the Settings tab of the ConnectWise setup window, QuickBooks setup window and Peachtree setup window. So now you choose which accounting you are integrating with rather than QuoteWerks giving you options and asking every time which accounting you want to export purchase orders too. On the Purchasing window, there are now only two action buttons. The first action button is one to create a Purchase Order in QuoteWerks and optionally exports the purchase order to your designated accounting software. The second action button first creates an online order and then creates a Purchase Order in QuoteWerks and optionally exports the purchase order to your designated accounting software. [Build: 4] | |
1544. Purchase Orders can now be created in QuoteWerks that are not electronic orders. Manually created QuoteWerks Purchase Orders behave much the same as the Purchase Orders created to track electronic orders, with the major difference being that the manually created Purchase Orders are not updated automatically with realtime shipping tracking and serial number information. That information, however, can be manually entered into the manually created Purchase Orders. Manually created Purchase Orders are created in the same area as the electronic purchase orders on the Purchasing tab of the Purchasing window. This feature requires (Corporate Edition) or (Professional Edition + Realtime module). [Build: 4] | |
1545. Purchasing Receiving functionality has been improved to include basic inventory management. Now when you order a quantity of 5 of an item instead of having a single ReceivedOn date, you can now receive each individual item at different times and fully record the date/time as each item is received. When receiving items you can now select or enter the serial number of the item you are receiving and at the same time you can specify a storage location, Asset Tag, and MACAddress for the item. The Purchase Orders tab will also now display a POFulfillmentStatus column showing "Not Received","Partial Received", or "Fully Received". [Build: 4] | |
1546. Purchase Order numbering sequence. There is now a purchase order unique numbering sequence that you can now use in the PONumber field when creating a new manual purchase order or a new electronic order. This field also supports the F2 key while will display the F2Lookup list which can lookup a PO number from an external source. The PO number will be formatted, for example, like 14-1001TD. The "14" indicates the year of 2014. The "1001" is the unique numeric sequence. The "TD" is an identifier to indicate that the purchase order was for Tech Data. You can choose to have a vendor this vendor identifier or not. Under the Utilities->Vendor Maintenance when editing a vendor you can specify it in the "Vendor PO Prefix" field. It can be a maximum of 3 characters. If QuoteWerks is configured to export purchase orders to QuickBooks, Peachtree, or ConnectWise, this same PO number will be used when creating the purchase order in the accounting software. You will want to reset the unique numeric sequence each year and this can be done on the Installation tab of the Tools->Options menu. The short nature of the PO number format takes into accounts QuickBooks very small 11 character max po number and Ingram Micro being the next at 18 characters. [Build: 4] | |
1547. When creating purchase orders there is now a RefID field. This field will be displayed in the Purchase Orders list and can be filtered on. The best use for this field is to enter something like a job# or ticket# and is used to group purchase orders together. You might create 5 purchase orders to purchase all the products required for the job and by entering the same job# for each PO you can easily group and display them together on the purchase orders tab. Filtering on the job while on the Purchase Orders tab will show you the 5 purchase orders and you can get an overall view of if most of the items have been shipped and received. Filtering on the job while on the Ordered Items tab will show you a complete list of all the items ordered across all 5 purchase orders and show their status in terms of have they shipped, been received, and what the serial numbers are. On this tab, once you see you have received all the items, you can then schedule the job to deliver the items to the customer. [Build: 4] | |
1548. You can now manually add tracking numbers and serial numbers to electronic orders. This is useful because the distributors don't always send complete information. There is also a Copy option to copy tracking numbers and serial numbers into the Windows clipboard. [Build: 4] | |
1549. For QuickBooks users, there is now a "PO Numbering" option on the Transaction.QuickBooks tab of the QuickBooks Setup Window. Here, you can choose "Use QuickBooks Auto-numbering" or "Use QuoteWerks PO Number." When creating a manual PO in QuoteWerks and you've configured QuoteWerks to use QuickBooks for purchase orders, you'll be able to enter a blank PO number on the Create Purchase Order window. This will create the PO in QuickBooks using the next available QuickBooks PO number. That QuickBooks PO number will be used to update the QuoteWerks PONumber for the QuoteWerks purchase order, which you'll see under the Purchase Orders tab. When creating electronic POs, electronic orders require a PO number at the time you're placing the order, so you can't use the next available QuickBooks PO number here. Instead, you can use the next available QuoteWerks PO Number to submit the order to the distributor, then the QuoteWerks purchase order will use that PO number. If you have the PO Numbering option set to "Use QuickBooks Auto-numbering", then when you export the Purchase Order to QuickBooks, it will send a blank PO number to QuickBooks which will cause QuickBooks to use the next available PO number in QuickBooks. This new QuickBooks PO number will then be written into the QuoteWerks PO description field (for example, "[QBPO# 1001]"). [Build: 4] | |
1550. On the Purchase Orders and OrderedItems tab of the Purchasing window, the Items now sort by ShippedOn,EstimatedShipDate [Build: 4] | |
1551. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a right-click menu of "Edit PO". This will let you change the RefID and Description on the purchase order. [Build: 4] | |
1552. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window you can now filter by PONumber. [Build: 4] | |
1553. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window there is now a right-click menu of "Close PO". Once all the items on the PO have been received and possibly after the job has been completed and billed you can use this feature to flag the PO as "closed" so that it no longer appears in the Purchase Order window. There is an accompanying checkbox filter "Include Closed POs" on both the "Purchase Orders" and "Ordered Items" tab that you can use if you want to retrieve an older closed PO. [Build: 4] | |
1554. On the Purchasing window under the Purchasing tab, added a [Clear] button and a [Refresh] button. [Build: 4] | |
1555. For ConnectWise users, when QuoteWerks creates/updates a ConnectWise Opportunity and is setup to write line items to the ConnectWise Opportunity the CRMProductID auto-generation feature is now supported. This can be setup on the Products.Mappings tab of the ConnectWise Setup window from the Contacts->Setup Contact manager menu. [Build: 4] | |
1556. For ACT! users, when QuoteWerks creates/updates an ACT Opportunity and is setup to write line items to the ACT Opportunity the CRMProductID auto-generation feature is now supported. This can be setup on the ACT Opportunity Setup window from the Contacts->Setup Contact manager menu, choose [Opportunity Setup] button. [Build: 4] | |
1557. For ACT! for Web users, when QuoteWerks creates/updates an ACT! for Web Opportunity and is setup to write line items to the ACT! for Web Opportunity the CRMProductID auto-generation feature is now supported. This can be setup on the ACT For Web Opportunity Setup window from the Contacts->Setup Contact manager menu, choose [Opportunity Setup] button. [Build: 4] | |
1558. For Microsoft Dynamics CRM (MS CRM) users, when QuoteWerks creates/updates a MS CRM Opportunity and is setup to write line items to the MS CRM Opportunity the CRMProductID auto-generation feature is now supported. This can be setup on the MS CRM Opportunity Setup window from the Contacts->Setup Contact manager menu, choose [MS CRM Setup] button. [Build: 4] | |
1559. CRMProductID Auto-Generation feature. In the simplest scenario you can setup the link to just use a QuoteWerks part number like the Manufacturer field as the CRM Opportunity CRMProductID. As a starting point the value from a specified field like the QuoteWerks ManufacturerPartNumber field is used. The auto-generation feature will allow for more than this when the InternalPartNumber or any CustomTextxx field is selected as the mapped field.
This new auto-generation feature will allow for many scenarios of use, including the ability to maintain your own proprietary part numbers in CRM Opportunity.
If the CRM integration supports using CRM Products as a product data source link, you can even use the Etilize functionality in combination with your own proprietary parts in CRM Opportunity.
There are 3 auto-generation options. With "Do not auto-generate", when exporting items to CRM Opportunity, if the mapped field is empty, this will stop and force you to specify your proprietary part number. If you pulled the part from CRM Opportunity, it will already have your proprietary part number from CRM Opportunity. This is useful when you have custom part numbers that are not based on any field or combination of fields. With "Do not auto-generate", when exporting items to CRM Opportunity, if the mapped field is empty, then you will be forced to manually specify an CRMProductID before proceeding. This is used when using your own proprietary part numbers. With "Auto-generate using macro:", when exporting items to CRM Opportunity, instead of just using a simple field value like the ManufacturerPartNumber to become the CRM Opportunity CRMProductID, you can choose to have the CRM Opportunity CRMProductID auto-generated using a macro like &DI_ItemType:&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber. With "Auto-generate using macro based on ItemType:", when exporting items to CRM Opportunity, instead of just using a simple field value like the ManufacturerPartNumber to become the CRM Opportunity CRMProductID, you can choose to have the CRM Opportunity CRMProductID auto-generated based on the ItemType of the Item. So, for example if the ItemType is "Haas", then you can map to an auto-generation macro of "Haas:&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber, but if the ItemType is "Hardware" then you can map to an auto-generation macro of just "&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber". You can also set a value for "If any ItemTypes are not mapped use the following macro:".
[Build: 4] | |
1560. On the Purchase Orders and Ordered Items tabs of the Purchasing window, you can now enter comments for each PO item. This is really useful for entering notes on PO items such as updated product backorder ETA dates and other notes critical to the status and fulfillment of those items. [Build: 4] | |
1561. For electronic orders the Flooring account is now stored in the QuoteWerks purchase order and displayed on the Purchase Orders tab. When flooring accounts are used in an Ingram Micro electronic order, the flooring account must be supplied in all order status requests and if not would receive an error that the order was not found. [Build: 4] | |
1562. For QuickBooks users, ItemReceipt documents can now be created in QuickBooks. When receiving items in the QuoteWerks Purchasing window, the Receipt is recorded along with the serial number received. When you are finished receiving the items on the Purchasing window you can click the "Sync Received Items to QuickBooks" button. If QuoteWerks created the Purchase Order in QuickBooks for the items being received, then this will create "ItemReceipt without Bill" documents in QuickBooks, receiving the items against the QuickBooks Purchase order that QuoteWerks created in QuickBooks. It will also append the serial numbers to the end of the item descriptions on the ItemReceipt in QuickBooks. To enable the "Sync Received Items to QuickBooks" button you need to check the checkbox "Sync Received Items to QuickBooks" on the Transaction.QuickBooks tab of the QuickBooks setup window. Also on this window, the Purchase Order Integration must be set to QuickBooks. This feature requires (Corporate Edition) or (Professional Edition + Realtime module). [Build: 4] | |
1563. You can now change the starting unique number sequence for Quotes, Orders, and Invoices on the Installation tab of the Tools->Options menu. Care must be taken when changing these numbers, because it is possible to set it to a number that starts creating duplicate quote numbers. [Build: 4] | |
1564. The Save PDF File window now will remember the folder locations that you manually type in and will default to the last saved folder location the next time the window is displayed. [Build: 4] | |
1565. For online ordering users, after online orders are placed the message that displays the order numbers has been modified to include an option to [Copy Text & Close]. Also the format of the message has changed, for example, "Tech Data - Sales Order number(s): 12345,45678". The information and format include in this is much more useful when pasting into other applications. [Build: 4] | |
1566. In the Totals for all items frame on the DocumentItems tab, if the Profit/ProfitMargin are negative then they will be displayed in red. [Build: 4] | |
1567. For Product Content Subscribers, the "Limit to my distributors" selection On the Product Lookup Window, now remembers the last selection used per user. [Build: 4] | |
1568. For ScanSource users, the new ScanSource real-time Pricing & Availability version 3.0 API is now supported. [Build: 4] | |
1569. Added an [Export to Clipboard] button for the Product Price History Window. Now, you can export any results of searches to the clipboard. The Access right "CannotExportDocumentsToClipboard" applies to this feature. [Build: 4] | |
1570. Added new macro "&DH_LocalTaxRate" for cover pages, layout design, and word merging
[Build: 4] | |
Version 4.9 Build 2 (released December 10, 2013) | |
1571. For ConnectWise users, there is now a ConnectWise Integration Mode of "Primary CRM" and "Not Primary CRM". This lets ConnectWise users use QuoteWerks with a CRM like MS CRM to do all their prospecting and quoting. Then, when the quote becomes an order, at that time, using QuoteWerks, they can create the customer in ConnectWise and have QuoteWerks create the sales opportunity, products, and service tickets, etc in ConnectWise. Since QuoteWerks integrates with all 12 of the leading CRM packages, you could use any of these CRMs with QuoteWerks and then once the quote becomes an order, this functionality would allow you to export to ConnectWise. To use ConnectWise in this mode, you will need to choose ConnectWise on the Contacts->Setup Contact Manager menu, and go into the ConnectWise setup and on the Settings tab, choose the "Not Primary CRM" mode. While in the ConnectWise setup screen, make all the setup changes and click on [Ok]. After doing this, back on the Contacts->Setup Contact Manager window you will need to re-select the CRM that you want to use as the Primary CRM and click on [OK]. Once this setup is complete, a Tools->Export To ConnectWise menu will appear and that menu is used to perform the export. [Build: 2] | |
1572. For ConnectWise users, added support for the ConnectWise [Quote] button on the ConnectWise Sales Opportunity. When clicking on this button, it will create a new quote based on the ConnectWise Sales Opportunity if there is no quote for this opportunity, and if there is already a quote for the ConnectWise Opportunity it will simply open the existing Quote in QuoteWerks. To setup in ConnectWise, on the left menu bar, Choose "Setup", then "Setup Tables". For the Category, choose "Opportunities", then for the "Table" choose "Quote Link". On this screen you can create a Quote Link that is different for each Business unit. Use the following URL string in the Quote Link: quotewerks://quotebutton?Source=ConnectWise&SoldToCMOpportunityRecID={opportunityid}. Also set the option to "Open in new window", and do not click on the [Test] button. [Build: 2] | |
1573. For ConnectWise users, you can now map QuoteWerks fields other than the ManufacturerPartNumber to the ConnectWise Product's ProductID field. The InternalPartNumber, ItemType, and CustomText01-20 are now supported. This mapping is done in the ConnectWise setup, choose the Opportunities tab, then choose the Products sub tab. [Build: 2] | |
1574. On the Purchasing window, in the Purchase Order line item detail, on the Purchase Orders and Ordered Items tabs, there is now an "Add" hyperlink in the Serial Number section that enables you to manually add serial numbers. Also, a "Copy" hyperlink was added in the Serial Number section to copy all the serial numbers to the clipboard. [Build: 2] | |
1575. For Tech Data users, you can import Orders into the QuoteWerks purchasing window that have been placed directly through the Tech Data website or the TD Mobility apps. Once imported, QuoteWerks will track the order status, the tracking numbers, the serial numbers and more enabling you to be able to have access to all your purchases from a single screen. You will know what has shipped, what has not shipped from a single screen. The [Import PO from Tech Data website order] toolbar button is located on the Purchase order tab. [Build: 2] | |
1576. For Tech Data users, the Import SAP Quote feature now remembers the last quote number you retrieved so that you can retrieve it again while still on the phone with the Tech Data sales rep without having to re-type it. [Build: 2] | |
1577. For Peachtree users, you can now export Purchase Orders to Peachtree from the Purchasing window. You can create the Purchase Order in Peachtree straight from the Purchasing window, or if you place online orders in QuoteWerks with the Tech Data, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, or D&H, after the online order is placed, you will be asked if you want to export the online order to a Peachtree Purchase Order. [Build: 2] | |
1578. Added support for CustomText15, CustomText16, CustomText17, CustomText17, CustomText18, CustomText19, and CustomText20 columns on the Document Items tab of the Quote WorkBook. [Build: 2] | |
1579. When adding file links to the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook, you can now select more than one file to link at the same time. [Build: 2] | |
1580. On the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window, there is now a right click menu "Delete" which can be used to delete a Purchase Order. Typically the only reason to use this is if the order was cancelled. Users with MasterRights will have access to this menu and also users with the access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanDeletePurchaseOrders". [Build: 2] | |
1581. The following fields are now available for cover pages, layout design, and word merging: "&DH_&PreparedByAddress", "&DH_&PreparedByAddress1", "&DH_&PreparedByAddress2", "&DH_&PreparedByAddress3", "&DH_&PreparedByCity", "&DH_&PreparedByCountry", "&DH_&PreparedByEMail", "&DH_&PreparedByFax", "&DH_&PreparedByFaxA", "&DH_&PreparedByFaxExt", "&DH_&PreparedByFullAddress", "&DH_&PreparedByFullAddressA", "&DH_&PreparedByInlineAddress", "&DH_&PreparedByFullNameOrUserName", "&DH_&PreparedByFullName", "&DH_&PreparedByPhone", "&DH_&PreparedByPhoneExt", "&DH_&PreparedByPhoneWithExt", "&DH_&PreparedByPhoneWithExtA", "&DH_&PreparedByMobilePhone", "&DH_&PreparedByPostalCode", "&DH_&PreparedByState", "&DH_&PreparedByTitle", "&DH_&PreparedByPicture", "&DH_&PreparedByElectronicSignature". [Build: 2] | |
Version 4.9 Build 1 (released October 31, 2013) | |
1582. Introducing QuoteValet Web. Gain insight and have mobile access to your QuoteValet Executive Dashboard, StatusBoard, Leaderboard, Inbox, Peer Reviews, and Approvals, anywhere, anytime from any web device like your phone, tablet, or PC. QuoteValet Web is a browser based solution and is included in your QuoteValet subscription at no additional charge. QuoteValet Web is packed with features, here are just some of the highlights.
Executive Summary: Gain insight into your business with the Executive Dashboard. From this dashboard you can see the total number and dollar amount of all quotes sent, accepted, and paid for any given date range. You can see the top quotes and orders (by $ amount), all documents that were viewed by customers, any customer comments, or sales rep comments. When reviewing each of these documents, you can use the [Send Note] feature to email the sales rep feedback or questions about the quote and you can easily cc their supervisor. Also in the dashboard is the Comparitive Analysis which gives you a pivot table like breakdown of your sales reps performance based on number of quotes, number of orders, dollar amount of quotes and dollar amounts of orders generated within a specified date range. Great for comparing the performance between sales reps.
StatusBoard: The Status Board shows a non-interactive version of the Inbox for all users, but limits the notifications to priority notifications like quote acceptance, payments, customer comments, and expired quote viewed. This is meant to be run and displayed on a large monitor in the sales area so that the sales manager can see that all QuoteValet customer activity has been addressed, like all orders have been processed, etc. It automatically refreshes every minute to get you realtime customer activity notifications. Also displayed on the Status Board is the LeaderBoard which is a rotating panel that shows a) The top($) 10 Accepted Quotes this WEEK b) The top($) 10 Accepted Quotes this MONTH, c) The top($) 10 Accepted Quotes this YEAR, d) The top($) 10 Outstanding Quotes this WEEK e) The top($) 10 Outstanding Quotes this MONTH, f) The top($) 10 Outstanding Quotes this YEAR.
Inbox: The inbox is very similiar to the QuoteValet Dashboard inbox within QuoteWerks.
Peer Reviews: This will show you any peer reviews requested on documents that you have the rights to view.
Approvals: This will show you any approval requests on documents that you have the rights to approve.
My Summary: Very similiar to the Executive Summary is limited in that it will only show information about your own documents and it does not include the Comparative Analysis feature found in the Executive Summary.
Find: This is a great way to quickly find a quote and see its current status and all activity history without actually opening it in QuoteWerks. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
1583. Multi-level Undo (CTRL-Z) and Redo (CTRL-Y) for line items is now supported! There are 10 levels of undo. There are also Undo and Redo buttons on the grid toolbar. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
1584. There is now built-in VB scripting support for the Corporate Edition. This enables you to write code to extend the functionality of QuoteWerks. Do special validations, check for combinations of items, and more. We offer professional services to assist in the writing of this script. In the Site.ini file under the [Scripting] section you can specify vbscript (.vbs) files that can be run for various events in QuoteWerks like BeforePrint, BeforeSaveDocument, etc. For example "BeforeSaveDocument=BeforeSaveDocumentEventScript.vbs", where BeforeSaveDocumentEventScript.vbs file is located in the Quotewerks folder. The ini key implementation is designed so that you can have multiple events call the same .vbs script file. For a complete list of events, please see the QuoteWerks API SDK. In the script you will have access to the API Application object and also the oEventParms object which will contain the parameters for the event being called. For example you can set oEventParms("bCancel") = True to cancel the event. Or in the BeforeDeleteDocument event you can read the oEventParms("lDocID") to know the DocID of the document being deleted. The oEventParms also contains a oEventParms("sEventName") containing the name of the event that is firing. [Build: 1] | |
1585. Added support for Google Contacts as a CRM source. The integration includes the ability to search Google Contacts to find Contacts to pull into the quote. [Build: 1] | |
1586. QuickBooks 2014 USA, Canada and UK are now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1587. For Etilize users (USA and Canada), when selecting items for purchasing on the Purchasing Window, there is now an Etilize Panel that lets you obtain current pricing and availability and enables you to change the sourcing vendor to a vendor that has the item in stock and at a lower price right before you place the order. [Build: 1] | |
1588. There is now an Active Quotes Panel that can be displayed. When creating a new quote and selecting the contact you are creating the quote for, any active quotes for that contact will automatically be displayed in the Active Quotes Panel. This has several benefits. First, it brings to the sales reps attention that they or a colleague may already have an active quote out to this customer. In some cases you will just want to update the existing quote and send it out. This improves sales team communication, coordination, and eliminates the possible error of sending out more than one quote for the same project to the same customer. Second, this might be a quote that you created a while ago and lost. From here you can easily right click on the quote and choose "Convert to Lost". Third, you might realize that this customer already has several other outstanding quotes with you and you might want to re-focus your efforts on getting those quotes closed too. This Active Quotes Panel can be displayed by clicking on the icon on the Grid Toolbar. There is also a user level option "Auto display Active Quotes Panel" on the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. This will automatically display the panel when selecting a new contact for a quote and when opening existing quotes. The Active Quotes Panel displays the quote number, quote name, SoldToCompany, and the amount of the quote. This information is displayed for any users regardless of if the logged in user has rights to view the quotes of other users. This is done in an effort to help catch duplicated efforts, where two sales reps end up creating a quote for the same thing for the same customer. While the logged in user will be able to see the limited information about the other users quote in the Active Quotes Panel, the logged in user will not be able to actually open the quote (if they do not have View rights). This feature can also help de-clutter the quote database. We might have created a quote one year ago to renew maintenance, the customer might not have moved forward. Now when we start creating a new quote, we will be alerted of the existing quote and we can just update that quote, save as next revision (getting a new quote number), and then resend that quote, eliminating clutter from our quote database as we go. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
1589. User settings on the Edit User Properties window can now be copied to other users or groups using the new Apply to tab. The settings from the Menus, Access, Documents, and Commissions tabs can be copied. Document approval settings located on the Documents tab can also be copied. [Build: 1] | |
1590. There is a now an "Inactive" user account property. When you define a user login as 'Inactive' the user will no longer appear in any user lists except on the User Maintenance window. Setting this Inactive property is a great way to handle changes in your staff. You can make the account inactive so that the user can no longer log into QuoteWerks using that account. It gives you time to decide how to handle their existing quotes, should you give another sales rep access to them, should you delete them, etc. Importantly, in the meantime, all the sales reps quotes/orders/invoices are preserved, for reporting and access purposes. You can easily give other sales reps access to modify this inactive user's quotes so they can open then and change the sales rep to themselves. Also, if the administrator simply does not want the user logging in, maybe while the administrator is performing some kind of maintenance for the user, the administrator can temporarily set the account to 'Inactive'. Another good use for 'Inactive' is that the account can be flagged as inactive so it cannot be used to log into QuoteWerks, but the account still exists, so the rights in the account are still valid such as what users can view or modify this inactive users documents. Yet another use for this is that the administrator can create a 'Template User' which they configure with a combination of rights. Then they can just Clone this user when they create new users, saving you the time of specifying all the individual. Setting the Inactive property on the 'Template User' will prevent it from displaying in the login screen user list. If you want other users to see the old user in the user lists, you can remove the inactive flag and just change the password and choose by security rights which users can view/modify this old users quotes (used so they can possibly take over account ownership). Ultimately you generally never want to delete users because the security data of who can view the old users quotes would be lost and if you just re-assign all the old user's quotes/orders to a new user, then you lose the historical trail of whose quote/order it actually was. [Build: 1] | |
1591. As a result of the collaboration between QuoteWerks and Tech Data, QuoteWerks can now retrieve quotes created by Tech Data sales reps directly from Tech Data's internal SAP system. So while you are talking with your Tech Data sales rep and he is helping find the correct items to order and creating his internal quote, you can enter the Tech Data quote number into QuoteWerks and it will simply appear in your QuoteWerks quote! You can then review it, suggest changes, have the Tech Data sales rep make the changes, and with another click you will have the updated quote in QuoteWerks - all in real-time! [Build: 1] | |
1592. There is now a PreparedBy field on the Sale Info tab of the Quote WorkBook. This is used to identify the person preparing the quote for a sales rep. This person will be cc'd on all QuoteValet notifications that normally go to the sales rep, keeping the preparer "in the loop". [Build: 1] | |
1593. For QuoteValet users, when posting peer review comments, or Approvals through the QuoteValet.com interface sales rep facing page, the PreparedBy user for the quote will also receive an email notification about the peer review comment or approval. [Build: 1] | |
1594. For QuickBooks users, When exporting a PO directly to QuickBooks from the Purchasing Window without having first placed an online order, you are now given the option to supply the PO number to use in QuicKBooks. [Build: 1] | |
1595. For QuoteValet users, you can now specify users to be CC'd and BCC'd for the following QuoteValet notifications "OrderForm Order Placed", "First View", "Approval Approved", "Approval Not Approved", and "Peer Review Posted". This is setup under the QuoteValet tab of the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 1] | |
1596. For Autotask users, the Autotask Product Name can be created from Custom Text Fields 1 - 20, Internal Part Number, and Vendor Part number in addition to the Manufacturer Part Number and Description fields that could be used in previous builds. [Build: 1] | |
1597. For Autotask users, when QuoteWerks writes (Create or Update) to an Autotask Opportunity, the Opportunity Advanced Fields 1 through 5 can now contain information from the QuoteWerks document including Recurring information, deposit information, the Total Cost / Price of a particular QuoteWerks Item Type, and more. This is helpful when running reports on opportunities within Autotask. [Build: 1] | |
1598. For Tech Data Canada, the Excel formatted Tech Data Price Quotation that you receive from your Tech Data sales rep can now be imported into QuoteWerks. [Build: 1] | |
1599. The Australian distributor Dicker Data is now supported! For Dicker Data customers, the QuoteWerks Product Content Subscription now returns the Dicker Data part numbers, Cost and List pricing, eliminating the need to import product and pricing information. [Build: 1] | |
1600. For QuoteValet users, if a customer views a QuoteValet quote and it is not the first view, but it is the first view since it was just revised and re-uploaded, then the sales rep will now receive a notification. Posted live Aug-9-2013 4:40pm [Build: 1] | |
1601. For QuoteValet users, on the QuoteValet tab of the quote workbook, under the payments area, there is now a display for "Total Payments Made". [Build: 1] | |
1602. Added a LastModifiedBy field on the Notes tab of the Quote WorkBook. Great for knowing what user last modified the quote. [Build: 1] | |
1603. For QuoteValet users, there is now an option "Allow regular documents to be imported from QuoteValet" on the QuoteValet tab under the Tools->Options menu. Documents created in Remote installations and then uploaded to QuoteValet will display in the QuoteValet Inbox of the Master installation and vice-versa. When this option is set, you can import this document into the local installation if it does not exist. This is an easy way to import a document into an installation rather than doing a DTF export/import or a sync requiring a VPN connection. This is designed only to be used to import a document into an installation to then take over actions on the document. If both the Remote and the Master are updating their copies of this document problems will arise. [Build: 1] | |
1604. For QuoteValet users, there is now an option "Prompt to Convert to Order when acceptance detected" on the QuoteValet tab under the Tools->Options menu. When unchecked, it will no longer prompt you to convert the quote to an order when opening a document that has been accepted through QuoteValet. [Build: 1] | |
1605. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for IT Distributor ASI ( www.asipartner.com ). [Build: 1] | |

1610. For Gmail users, there is a new [set defaults] button on the Email tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. This will prefill the Email SMTP settings with the default Gmail settings. [Build: 1] | |
1611. For GoldMine users, when creating a new Goldmine Opportunity you can now specify the owner of the opportunity rather than it defaulting to the user selected for the GoldMine forecast. [Build: 1] | |
1612. On the Open Document window, there is now a right click "Convert to Lost Sale" menu. This "Convert to Lost Sale" right click menu is also available on the Active Quotes Panel. It helps speed up the process by opening the quote and initiating the Convert to Lost process. [Build: 1] | |
1613. The Purchasing window is now resizable, and also remembers the last location and size (per user). [Build: 1] | |
1614. On the Select Contact Window, there is now an "All" button that enables you to use the selected contact for all of the contact fields including Sold To, Ship To, and Bill To. [Build: 1] | |
1615. Added spotlight feature for the Access Rights tab under the Edit User Properties window. This is useful for quickly finding a Misc Access Right. This spotlight feature will highlight in bold all matching list entries and will ghost all entries that do not match. [Build: 1] | |
1616. Added a new type of user rights that start with "NonMasterRightsUser_". The ability to perform these actions is usually reserved for only users with Master rights, but by assigning these individual rights to a user, the user can perform individual actions that previously only the user with Master Rights could do. [Build: 1] | |
1617. Added Misc Access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanDeleteQuoteValetDocuments". If a customer has accepted a document through QuoteValet, it cannot be deleted. With this right you can. Normally you do not want to delete a document from QuoteValet that has been electronically signed, so this is usually only used when some kind of mistake was made. [Build: 1] | |
1618. Added Misc Access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanAdministerAnyUsersDocuments". With this right, a user can view/modify/delete any users documents. [Build: 1] | |
1619. Added Misc Access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanModifyUsers". With this right a user can modify an existing user account. There are several restrictions. The user cannot add or clone a user. The user cannot assign or remove master rights. The user cannot assign or remove the rights starting with "CanSee" or "NonMasterRightsUser_", cannot create/modify/delete groups, cannot create/modify/delete approval profiles. Only users with master rights can perform those functions. Primarily this right is meant to allow the user to change users passwords, make them inactive, change the menu rights, change most misc access rights, and change who can view/modify/delete their documents. [Build: 1] | |
1620. Added Misc Access right "NonMasterRightsUser_CanAdministerSystemEmailTemplates". With this right the user can modify the system email templates. [Build: 1] | |

1627. Added Misc Access right "CanSeeTotalsInQuoteValetWebMySummary". Depending upon the purpose why you are giving the user access to the QuoteValet Web My Summary, you may or may not want them to see the totals all the orders or quotes combined together. In certain cases you do not want your users knowing the total gross sales. [Build: 1] | |
1628. Added Misc Access rights "CanSeeDateRangeThisWeekInQuoteValetWebMySummary", "CanSeeDateRangeLastWeekInQuoteValetWebMySummary", "CanSeeDateRangeThisMonthInQuoteValetWebMySummary", "CanSeeDateRangeLastMonthInQuoteValetWebMySummary", "CanSeeDateRangeTwoMonthsAgoInQuoteValetWebMySummary", "CanSeeDateRangeThisYearInQuoteValetWebMySummary", and "CanSeeDateRangeLastYearInQuoteValetWebMySummary". These are used to control how much historical data you want the user to see. It makes sense for them to see the last week or month, but do they need to see the entire year? or does that begin to show them more than you want them to be able to see? [Build: 1] | |
1629. Added Misc Access right "CanSeeTotalsInQuoteValetWebExecutiveSummary". Depending upon the purpose why you are giving the user access to the QuoteValet Web Executive Summary, you may or may not want them to see the totals all the orders or quotes combined together.

"CanSeeDateRangeThisYearInQuoteValetWebExecutiveSummary", and "CanSeeDateRangeLastYearInQuoteValetWebExecutiveSummary". These are used to control how much historical data you want the user to see. It makes sense for them to see the last week or month, but do they need to see the entire year? or does that begin to show them more than you want them to be able to see? [Build: 1] | |
1631. For Sage 50 US Edition (Peachtree) users, when exporting Purchase Orders you are now prompted to enter a PO number for the Peachtree PO. [Build: 1.01] | |

1633. Tech Data Excel Quote Importer now imports List/Retail Price. [Build: 1.02] | |
1634. For ConnectWise users, the ShortDescription field from the ConnectWise Product definition is now displayed in the Product Lookup. It is mapped by default to the CustomText02 field. To have access to this new column, you will need to edit the ConnectWise Product Data Source under the Products->Setup Product Data Sources menu and choose to include the new column. On the ConnectWise Product screen, the field labeled "Description" is what is mapped to the QuoteWerks "ShortDescription" field on the Product Lookup. On the ConnectWise Product screen, the field labeled "Customer Description" is what is mapped to the QuoteWerks "Description" field on the Product Lookup. If the ConnectWise "Customer Description" is empty, then QuoteWerks will grab the ConnectWise "Description" field and place it in the QuoteWerks "Description" field. [Build: 1.02] | |
1635. For ConnectWise users, when creating products in ConnectWise, the Product's ManufacturerPartNumber is now set in the ConnectWise Product. This feature is supported in ConnectWise 2013.1 and higher. [Build: 1.02] | |

1637. For ConnectWise users, you can now create Purchase Orders in ConnectWise. Under the new Tools->Purchasing menu you have access to all the Order items in QuoteWerks and can easily create ConnectWise Purchase Orders that contain items from multiple orders. Items that do not exist in ConnectWise will be created. Additionally if using the Online Ordering feature of the real-time module, after the items are ordered you will be asked if you want to create a Purchase Order in ConnectWise for the items you just ordered electronically. There is a new Purchase Orders tab on the ConnectWise setup window to enable or disable the PO integration with ConnectWise. Purchase Orders are supported in ConnectWise 2013.1 and higher. [Build: 1.03] | |
1638. For Peachtree users, when exporting Purchase Orders at the same time as exporting the order, for all the vendors in the order, all the Purchase Orders are now individually sent over separately one at a time rather than in a single batch. This way if one purchase order fails to be created, all the others will still be created. [Build: 1.03] | |
1639. Added [Launch QuoteValet Web] button on the QuoteValet Dashboard. [Build: 1.07] | |
1640. Microsoft Dynamics CRM (MS CRM) version 6.0/2013 is now supported! [Build: 1.14] | |
1641. There is now a 'My Summary' Dashboard in QuoteWerks. It shows a summary total number and total amount of quotes and orders from this month, last month and two months ago. It also shows all the sales' reps quotes that expire within the next 7 days. It also shows any opportunities in ConnectWise that a quote has been requested for. There is a link on the expiring quotes for QuoteValet users to easily post a comment on the expiring quote on QuoteValet to remind the customer that the quote is expiring soon. It also shows a list of all the document that have been recently opened. Pressing the F5 key on the Dashboard will refresh it. The Dashboard is accessible through the new Dashboard icon on the toolbar. [Build: 1.14] | |
1642. For ConnectWise users, quotes can now be created starting with ConnectWise Opportunities. When a new opportunity is created in ConnectWise or an existing opportunity in ConnectWise is set to have an opportunity status of "CreateQuote", the ConnectWise Opportunity will appear in the QuoteWerks My Summary Dashboard under the Notifications section. From there you can click on the "Create Quote for ConnectWise Opportunity" link. This will create a new quote in QuoteWerks and populate the SoldTo information with the customer information associated with the opportunity. The description from the opportunity will be copied into the internal notes field on the Notes tab. It will also associate the opportunity with the quote so that when saving the quote this existing opportunity will be updated. This feature was designed so that you can have a person out in the field creating a new ConnectWise opportunity using ConnectWise mobile and just enter some basic specifications for the opportunity. Then back in the office, the person assigned to create quotes will automatically be notified that they need to create a quote for this opportunity. The same concept applies even if the opportunity is created using regular ConnectWise vs ConnectWise Mobile. [Build: 1.14] | |
1643. The Configuration window is now resizable! [Build: 1.14] | |
1644. When saving as next revision, if the document is locked, the resulting revision document will be unlocked. If the document was approved, the approval will be removed. [Build: 1.14] | |

1658. Grouped Bundles on the quote can now be converted to a single recurring monthly revenue amount (Recurring Groups). All the individual items in the bundle are totaled and then you can set an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and a Term like 24 months. This calculates the monthly payment amount which the Group Header line will display in the UnitPrice field. There are some new macro fields to display information related to the Recurring Group which are "&GroupExtendedPricePreRecurring" and "&GroupExtendedPriceWithTaxPreRecurring". These macros will show the total amount of all the items in the grouped bundle before the total was converted to a monthly amount. They are available as columns on the Document Items tab and also in the print layouts. In addition to converting a grouped bundle to recurring in the Quote WorkBook, you can also setup Grouped Bundles and Grouped Configuration definitions to be recurring. This functionality is useful for Hardware as a Service (HaaS) quoting. [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |
1659. For QuickBooks users, when exporting items to QuickBooks there is now a QuickBooks ItemName auto-generation feature. In the simplest scenario you can setup the link to just use a QuoteWerks part number like the Manufacturer field as the QuickBooks ItemName. As a starting point the value from a specified field like the QuoteWerks ManufacturerPartNumber field is used. The auto-generation feature will allow for more than this when the InternalPartNumber or any CustomTextxx field is selected as the mapped field. This new auto-generation feature will allow for many scenarios of use, including the ability to maintain your own proprietary part numbers in QuickBooks and pull them from QuickBooks using the product data source link. You can even use the Etilize functionality in combination with your own proprietary parts in QuickBooks. There are 3 auto-generation options. With "Do not auto-generate", when exporting items to QuickBooks, if the mapped field is empty, this will stop and force you to specify your proprietary part number. If you pulled the part from QuickBooks, it will already have your proprietary part number from QuickBooks. This is useful when you have custom part numbers that are not based on any field or combination of fields. With "Do not auto-generate", when exporting items to QuickBooks, if the mapped field is empty, then you will be forced to manually specify an ItemName before proceeding. This is used when using your own proprietary part numbers. With "Auto-generate using macro:", when exporting items to QuickBooks, instead of just using a simple field value like the ManufacturerPartNumber to become the QuickBooks ItemName, you can choose to have the QuickBooks ItemName auto-generated using a macro like &DI_ItemType:&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber. With "Auto-generate using macro based on ItemType:", when exporting items to quickbooks, instead of just using a simple field value like the ManufacturerPartNumber to become the QuickBooks ItemName, you can choose to have the QuickBooks ItemName auto-generated based on the ItemType of the Item. So, for example if the ItemType is "Haas", then you can map to an auto-generation macro of "Haas:&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber, but if the ItemType is "Hardware" then you can map to an auto-generation macro of just "&DI_ManufacturerPartNumber". You can also set a value for "If any ItemTypes are not mapped use the following macro:" [Build: 5] | |
1660. For QuickBooks users, when linking to QuickBooks as a product data source, the QuickBooks Manufacturer field is now available for display in the product lookup and can also be mapped to a CustomText or ManufacturerPartNumber field in QuoteWerks. The manufacturer part number field is available in QuickBooks (SDK 7.0), QuickBooks USA 2008 and higher, QuickBooks AU/UK 2009 and higher. To have access to this new column, you will need to edit the QuickBooks Product Data Sources under the Products->Setup Product Data Sources menu and choose to include these new columns. [Build: 5] | |
1661. The Excel formatted Tech Data Price Quotation that you receive from your Tech Data sales rep can now be imported into QuoteWerks. If you have the QuoteWerks Real-time module and have entered Tech Data USA real-time credentials, a new "Import Tech Data Excel Quote" icon will appear above the DocumentItems grid. Just click on that and choose the Excel price quotation that you receive from your Tech Data sales rep and the quote will be imported into QuoteWerks. If you select a line in the quote before importing, the Tech Data price quote will be inserted above the selected line. If no line is selected then the quote will be imported at the end of the quote. The Tech Data quotation #, the shipping amount and the freight amount are inserted as a non-printing comment line for your reference. If there are any promo notes for the imported items they will appear in the Notes column for each line item. After the Tech Data Excel Price quote file is imported, it will be linked automatically on the File Links tab for future reference. [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |
1662. For MS CRM 5.0 users, Office 365 logins now supported! These are used with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Microsoft Passport Logins are still supported. [Build: 5] | |
1663. You can now manually specify (vs auto-retrieve from product database) pictures on the Quote WorkBook for the following line types: GroupHeader, Heading, Comment, Summary, SubTotal, RunningSubTotal, PercentCharge, and PercentDiscount. [Build: 5] | |
1664. The Open Document window (File->Open) has been re-designed. There are now new "My Recent Documents" and "All Recent Documents" menu bar items. These will show all the documents modified over the selected date range. Useful for quickly finding that quote you just created or modified, Today, Yesterday, This week, etc. The "My Documents" and "Documents" menu bar items bar items now have a new option to show "Active Quotes" or "All Quotes/Orders/Invoices", useful for pairing down active quotes that have not been converted to lost or converted to an order. "Active Quotes" are defined as a DocType=QUOTE and a DocStatus that does not equal the DocStatus value defined for a "Lost Quote". This is set on the Installation tab of the Tools->Options menu. Also, if a document has been converted to an ORDER or INVOICE then it will not be displayed in the "Active Quotes" list. From this "Documents" menu bar item you can also filter by a date range of when the quotes expire or a date range of the DocDate for the quotes. [Build: 5] | |
1665. The "Search" menu bar now has two tabs "Search" and "More". The filter criteria set across these two tabs will be used when clicking on the [Find] button. On the "More" tab you can now filter by document GrandTotal amount, for example, like quotes with an amount greater than $3,500 and less than $10,000. [Build: 5] | |
1666. On the "Search" menu bar of the Open Document window, you can now search for documents by a line item contained in the document. You can search, for example, for all documents that contain the phrase "special discount" in the line item description field. You can search the Description, ItemType, Manufacturer, ManufacturerPartNumber, Vendor, VendorPartNumber, and CustomTextXX fields. You can do Begins with, Ends With, Contains, Equal to, and Not Equal to searches. [Build: 5] | |
1667. The Product Content Subscription now has PartLocator support for Tech Data UK (Computer2000). We've negotiated an arrangement with Tech Data UK (Computer2000) to host their product data so as to provide our mutual customers with the best experience possible. [Build: 5] | |

1671. For Tech Data online orders you can now choose to submit online orders to Tech Data overriding the distributor real-time price with your own distributor sales rep negotiated price. When submitting an overridden price you can enter a reason such as a Tech Data sales rep quotation # or manufacturer special. When Tech Data receives an order that has prices specified, it automatically places the order on hold for sales rep review. QuoteWerks will pass the reason you specified in each line item so the Tech Data sales rep knows the reason for the non-standard price. QuoteWerks automatically sends the Tech Data sales rep an email letting him know to look for this order and to process it. The benefit is that now you can send over standard and specially negotiated price orders and even though it will flag the order to be manually reviewed, all the information will already be in the order without anyone having to re-type information. [Build: 5] | |
1672. For Ingram Micro online orders you can now choose to submit online orders to Ingram Micro overriding the distributor real-time price with your own distributor sales rep negotiated price. When submitting an overridden price you can enter a reason such as a Ingram Micro sales rep quotation # or manufacturer special. When QuoteWerks detects that non-standard pricing is being submitted, it submits the order to Ingram Micro with AutoRelease set to Hold. The Ingram Micro sales rep needs to be notified to look for the OnHold order so QuoteWerks automatically sends the Ingram Micro sales rep an email letting him know to look for this order and to process it. QuoteWerks will pass the reason you specified for the non-standard pricing as comment lines below each of the line items so the Ingram Micro sales rep knows the reason for the non-standard price. The benefit is that now you can send over standard and specially negotiated price orders and even though it will flag the order to be manually reviewed, all the information will already be in the order without anyone having to re-type information. [Build: 5] | |
1673. For SYNNEX online orders you can now choose to submit online orders to SYNNEX overriding the SYNNEX real-time price with your own SYNNEX sales rep negotiated price. When submitting an overridden price you can enter a reason such as a SYNNEX quotation #. Upon receipt of an online order with prices that do not match SYNNEX real-time they will be placed on hold and flagged for manual review by the SYNNEX sales rep to approve the prices. Also the Order level Special Instructions has been increased to 300 characters and can be used to remind the sales rep of the reason for your non-standard price. The benefit is that now you can send over standard and specially negotiated price orders and even though it will flag the order to be manually reviewed, all the information will already be in the order without anyone having to re-type information. [Build: 5] | |
1674. For D&H online orders you can now choose to submit online orders to D&H overriding the distributor real-time price with your own distributor sales rep negotiated price. D&H does not support online order comment lines or allow for a unit price to be specified. QuoteWerks will list in the online order's REMARKS field the list of part numbers that have the non-standard price. This will flag the order to be manually reviewed. QuoteWerks will also automatically send the D&H sales rep an email letting him know to look for this order that contains non-standard pricing and to process it. The e-mail will include a reference to the part numbers and the non-standard pricing. The benefit is that now you can send over standard and specially negotiated price orders and even though it will flag the order to be manually reviewed, all the information will already be in the order without anyone having to re-type information. [Build: 5] | |
1675. The QuoteWerks Product Content Subscription now returns the List Price from the QuoteWerks PartLocator service if List Price is not returned through the distributor's real-time Pricing & Availability system. The PartLocator currently stores list price for Tech Data (USA, Canada), Tech Data UK (Computer2000), Ingram Micro (USA, Canada, Australia), SYNNEX (USA), D&H (USA), and BlueStar (USA). You must have a realtime xml account with these distributors in order to receive their List price. [Build: 5] | |
1676. When doing an Etilize search you can type in, for example, "mouse USB optical not(keyboard)" to search for USB optical mouse that does not have the word "keyboard" in the results. [Build: 5] | |
1677. When a part number is found in an Etilize search, but the distributor part numbers are missing, QuoteWerks PartLocator will find them using the PartLocator data. When part numbers are not found through an Etilize search, it is typically because the part numbers require authorization to purchase. When this happens, the PartLocator bulls-eye icon will appear to the right of the part number. [Build: 5] | |
1678. With product Content Subscription information coming from both Etilize and the QuoteWerks PartLocator, there are now visual indicators identifying where the information is coming from. A PartLocator bulls-eye icon will appear to the right of the part number if the PartLocator was used to locate the part number. Similarly, if the Etilize search returned no results at all, and the PartLocator did find results, then a PartLocator bulls-eye icon will appear in the bottom left of the Etilize panel. Conversely, if all the information was found through Etilize, then the Etilize icon will appear in the bottom left of the Etilize panel. [Build: 5] | |
1679. For MS CRM 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 users the QuoteWerks linked document now attaches to the MS CRM opportunity instead of the MS CRM Account. This also applies to any file attaching that QuoteWerks performs with MS CRM, so the automatic attachment of PDF quotes sent to customers will attach to the opportunity (if any). The same applies when attaching files from the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook. [Build: 5] | |
1680. Added a new line item level "&ProfitAmount" macro. Note, this is a line item level calculation of profit and is calculated and rounded per line item. This macro available as a column on the Document Items tab and also in the print layouts. [Build: 5] | |

This can used in conjunction with the advanced F2 Lookup features like ~RunAppAndReturnClipboard(c:\windows,c:\YourCustomApp.exe,1) and ~RequestDDEValue(excel, sheet1, R1C1). With these you can essentially obtain the next PO number to use for your QuoteWerks PO number from an external application. See the user manual for details on these advanced F2Lookup features. [Build: 5] | |
1704. The PriceModifier now supports rounding. This can be used to round the result of the Price modifier calculation. Normally with a PriceModifier of P20, for 20 points margin, with a cost of $100, the UnitPrice would be $112.36. If you use the Rounding feature of the Price Modifier like P20R1 then it would round to the nearest dollar resulting in $113.00. Rounding factors can only be 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 1, 5, 10, 100 ( Examples: R0.01, R.05, R.10, R1, R5, R10, R100 ) [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |

Version 4.8 Build 1 (released November 21, 2012) | |
1748. QuoteValet Shopping Cart.
Create online order forms with the QuoteValet shopping cart. Use them to automate customer re-orders or to receive paid orders from a promotional email blast. The QuoteValet Shopping cart is included, at no extra charge, in your QuoteValet subscription! It is easy to setup and use, simply 1) save/upload the order form, 2) grab the shopping cart URL, and then 3) email the shopping cart URL to your customer or include in your promotional email blast. It's that easy! Orders will appear in your QuoteValet Dashboard. Get used to coming into work each morning to an inbox full of paid orders from your QuoteValet Shopping Cart.
The QuoteValet Shopping Cart is great for many uses, but here are two in particular. First, with your established customer base, they probably routinely order consumable items from you, low dollar items that you probably don't make much money on. Use the QuoteValet Shopping Cart to automate this process. You simply setup a Shopping Cart OrderForm template that contains all the items your customer typically orders and then give them the QuoteValet Shopping Cart website URL to go to whenever they need to order these items and from that point on you will simply receive orders in your inbox. No more phone calls and emails trying to identify the correct items to re-order.
The other great way to use the QuoteValet Shopping Cart is to create an OrderForm for some kind of item, like a limited time special offer discount, like an HP Server, for example, and you can even set an expiration date on the OrderForm. Then you simple send out an email blast to all your customers pointing them to this Shopping Cart Order Form and simply put, you will have an order waiting for you in your QuoteValet Dashboard from anyone that was interested! [Build: 1] | |
1749. When placing Online Orders, the order is now saved in QuoteWerks and is available under the Purchase Order and Ordered Items tabs on the Purchasing window. [Build: 1] | |
1750. Procurement Tracking. For Online Orders placed through QuoteWerks with D&H, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, and Tech Data, realtime order shipping updates are now available. You will receive realtime order status including line item shipping status, estimated ship date, ship date, warehouse fulfillment locations, shipping tracking numbers, product serial numbers, and more - all on a single screen in QuoteWerks.
Customers have higher and higher expectations everyday, if they get down to the minute order status updates from large $100 million a year company, they expect it from you too, and with QuoteWerks, you can deliver that!
How often do you get a call from your customer like "Where is that server I ordered?". Some companies have to pay a full time person just to keep up with order status requests. With the Procurement Tracking feature, you can spend less time tracking your orders and more time building your business.
Not only can you track order status, you can keep track of the actual fulfillment. Sure, you placed the order with 5 items on it, but has it shipped? Did all 5 items ship? Have you actually received all the items? UPS says it was delivered, but you don't have it. Do you have all the items you need for Customer ABC to do the job for them? You submitted one PO, but how many sales orders did the distributor split that into? All of these answers are now provided by QuoteWerks. [Build: 1] | |
1751. For QuoteValet users, there is a new Activity Notifications tab in the QuoteValet setup under the QuoteValet tab of the Tools->Options menu. For key QuoteValet events like when a QuoteValet Mobile quote is created, a quote is accepted, or when payment is made, in addition to the sales rep receiving email notifications, you can specify additional users/email addresses to receive a CC or BCC of the notification. This is especially useful for keeping the accounting department in the loop when payments are received and for keeping sales managers in the loop when quotes are accepted. [Build: 1] | |
1752. For QuoteValet users, uploading a quote to QuoteValet always requires that the customer electronically sign before you can collect payment. Now, if you start with an ORDER type of document in QuoteWerks and upload it to QuoteValet your customer can immediately provide payment without having to first electronically sign. [Build: 1] | |
1753. For QuoteValet Mobile users, volume priced items are now supported. [Build: 1] | |
1754. We have a new FedEx and UPS shipping rates integration enabling you to obtain real-time shipping quotes from your carriers. Use it to calculate your shipping costs, mark them up and pass them through to your customer. Choose from a grid of available services and pricing like Ground, Overnight, Two day, etc. You can also easily give your customers shipping option choices (complete with pricing) such as Ground, Overnight, etc. Requires the realtime module. You will need to have an account with FedEx or UPS to use this feature. The feature is setup under the Shipping tab of Real-time tab under the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 1] | |
1755. Azure product database support. You can now host your QuoteWerks Product Databases in the cloud through Microsoft Azure. If you have multiple QuoteWerks installations and want to keep the product databases up to date, you currently have to get the remote installations to synchronize on a regular basis. With the Azure support, you can just setup one or more QuoteWerks product databases to be hosted on Azure and then all the remote installations of QuoteWerks can simply use that same shared product database so there no longer is a need to synchronize the product database. We've made it really easy to move your QuoteWerks product database up to the Azure cloud, simply right click on a QuoteWerks native product database and choose "Upload/Migrate to Azure". Another great use for this feature is for manufacturers that have dealers or any company that wants to share their QuoteWerks price list with other QuoteWerks users. In this case the manufacturer creates an Azure QuoteWerks product database and then provides their dealers with the read-only credentials to this Azure database. It is that simple. The Corporate Edition is required for the Azure integration. [Build: 1] | |
1756. Our product content subscription (powered by Etilize) now has a new PartLocator service. Distributors add new parts to their websites daily and subscription services have a tough time keeping up with that pace. Now, QuoteWerks provides you with ALL the parts from your distributors D&H, Ingram Micro (USA and Canada), SYNNEX, and Tech Data (USA only). We've negotiated deals with the distributors to host their product data so as to provide our mutual customers with the best experience possible. [Build: 1] | |
1757. With Audit Trail Tracking, key events are recorded creating an audit trail of changes made to the document such as: a) when the document is saved b) who an email is sent from the quote, email address (to/subject/attachments), c) when the document is uploaded to QuoteValet for customer, peer review, approval, mobile template, d) when the document is updated with customers selections from QuoteValet, e) when the document is converted to an order or invoice, f) when the document is exported to QuickBooks or Peachtree, g) when the document approval is requested through QuoteWerks or QuoteValet, and h) when the document is approved through QuoteWerks or QuoteValet. The current date, time, and logged-in user is recorded along with the event. Using the "Audit Trail Transaction Record Macros" option under the Security tab of the Tools->Options menu you can choose what other information from the document you would like to record in the even such as GrandTotal, LineCount, DocStatus, etc. Also on the Security tab is a "Enable Audit Trail Backup files" checkbox. This will create a backup copy of the document (under the \History\AuditTrail folder) every time the document is saved. Under the File->Properties menu you can see the audit trail events and also a listing of the "Audit Trail Backup Files" and "Automatic Backup Files". [Build: 1] | |

Version 4.7 Build 8 (released October 5, 2012) | |
1765. When sending email, there is now a new "Hide TO Recipients from each other" option and you can also address to the email to recipients by selecting vendor email addresses from the Utilities->Vendors list. These seemingly innocuous features are very powerful. With these you can now create an RFQ and choose multiple vendors to email the same RFQ to and the email will be sent to them individually addressed to each of them separately from you, and they will not see the other vendors that the RFQ has been emailed to. This is a real advantage over using Outlook to do this. If you send this kind of email from Outlook it will be sent to "undisclosed recipients" rather than an individual person. The workaround most people use is to send the email to themselves from themselves and BCC the vendor. This does not look professional and is often caught by spam filters. Of course, in Outlook you can just manually create a separate email for each vendor and attach the PDF RFQ, but that is a lot of work that this feature now eliminates. [Build: 8] | |
1766. For GoldMine users, when using the new "Hide TO Recipients from each other" option, each sent email is logged in GoldMine (if the email address is found in GoldMine) as if it was sent from GoldMine. [Build: 8] | |
1767. On the Send Email window, a count of the number of email recipients in the TO, CC, and BCC boxes is now displayed next to their respective label. [Build: 8] | |
1768. On the Send Email window, you can now paste a list of email addresses from the Windows Clipboard into the send email TO, CC, and BCC recipient text boxes. Simply copy the list of email addresses into the Windows Clipboard, then hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the [Select Recipients] button. This will take any list of email addresses that are each on their own line and convert them into a comma delimited list of recipients and paste into the recipient box. Of note, the import will eliminate duplicate email addresses, and will ignore lines of data that do not contain an "@" symbol. [Build: 8] | |
1769. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for Westcon Group. Westcon Group includes Comstor, Collaboration, and Vodaone, and is available on the Etilize Panel. [Build: 8] | |
1770. For Etilize users, Arbitech, Blue Star, Digitek, EET, Supplies Network, and Northamber pricing & availability is now available on the Etilize Panel if you have accounts with these distributors. [Build: 8] | |
1771. For Etilize users, the QuoteWerks Price Modifier can now be mapped to an Etilize Category Name. If no Category is mapped, the default price modifier will be used. As an example, this allows you to markup software and hardware differently. [Build: 8] | |

The accounting integrations to both QuickBooks and Peachtree are activated when using the Professional or Corporate Editions of QuoteWerks. With this option you can now specify which integration you use, after which QuickBooks or Peachtree toolbar buttons, etc will be removed depending upon your selection. Also on this tab are now setup buttons for both integrations. Also after placing an electronic order, this will control if you are prompted to export the PO to QuickBooks. [Build: 8] | |
1778. Windows 8 is now supported. [Build: 8] | |
1779. There is now a new "QuoteWerks Light Blue" user interface skin. It has a more flat look to it with nice clean form edges. We know you'll like it… we do! You can change your QuoteWerks skin under the Appearance tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. [Build: 8] | |

[Build: 08.09] | |
1786. When sending emails you can now control where/how the email is logged in your CRM. For ACT!, ACT! for Web, GoldMine, Maximizer, and MS CRM you can choose to log the sent email under the CRM record for the SoldTo contact. Previously this would happen behind the scenes automatically, whereas now you have more control over it. For GoldMine and MS CRM you can choose to log the sent email under the E-Mail recipient contact record in GoldMine or MS CRM respectively. [Build: 08.09] | |

Each inbox notification displays an icon indicating what type of activity has happened since you last checked. [Build: 6] | |
1821. For QuoteValet users, on the QuoteValet Dashboard, the reporting has been enhanced. The Manage tab has been renamed to Reporting, and now there are some new reports. There are separate "Customer Activity" and "Internal Activity" reports. The Expiring/Expired reports have been separated into "Expiring" and "Expired" for more effect use. A new report "Uploaded for Customer Acceptance" is useful for knowing how many quotes where uploaded for customer acceptance during any given date range.

When emailing a quote to your customer as a PDF file, the PDF file will automatically be attached. When uploading a quote to QuoteValet and Emailing the customer the notification, the PDF file of the quote will automatically be attached. You can manually attach a file to your CRM by right clicking on a file in the Links tab, on the Print Preview window, and also from the Print window Save as PDF option. This makes the PDF version of the quote viewable by any colleagues that have access to the CRM record without having to have QuoteWerks installed. Particularly useful for the service or technical side of the business having access to the details of the job that was quoted. This new feature is turned on by default and can be controlled with the setting "[]Automatically attach PDF sent to customer by E-Mail or QuoteValet to the CRM Account or Opportunity." located on the Print tab of the Tools->Options menu.When using this feature with Autotask, ConnectWise, salesforce.com, you need to attach the quote to an opportunity first. Once the quote is associated with the CRM opportunity, QuoteWerks knows to automatically attach the PDF to the CRM Opportunity.
When using this feature with ACT! 2005+, GoldMine, Outlook, Outlook BCM, MS CRM, Maximizer 10+, SugarCRM, and SalesLogix you need to link the quote to a CRM contact first. Once the quote is linked with the CRM contact, QuoteWerks knows to automatically attach the PDF to the CRM contact. [Build: 4] | |
1833. You can now manually associate a picture with a line item in the quote. Previously this would happen only through Etilize or through the picture specified in the product Definition in a product database. This new feature is useful for attaching "one-off" pictures to an item in the quote. There is a "Show/Hide Set Picture Panel" button on the Quote WorkBook. This will display a new panel making it easy to see the current picture and associate a picture with the item. You can also drag a picture file onto the [Select Picture] button. [Build: 4] | |

1836. The web browser "quotewerks:" protocol handler introduced with QuoteValet as a way to open QuoteWerks quotes using a URL. Now it has been updated to support all the functionality supported by the QuoteWerks Web Connector, thereby eliminating the need for the QuoteWerks Web Connector. This is particularly beneficial for terminal service users because the WebConnector would need to be setup for each terminal server user on a different manually specified port number, whereas none of this setup will now be required with the new "quotewerks:" protocol handler.
The Web Connector is used mostly in conjunction with web based CRM packages like salesforce.com and SugarCRM. It can also be used with any system that can launch a Web Link (URL). Using this feature it is possible to automate QuoteWerks creating a new quote and populating it with information from the web url. To modify existing web urls to work with the new "quotewerks:" protocol handler, simply change "http://localhost:1001/" to "quotewerks://" [Build: 4] | |
1837. On the QuoteValet Dashboard, when it is first loaded, it now defaults to only showing activity for the logged in sales rep vs All activity. This results in faster load up time. Additionally, it will remember the last sales rep selection and use this as the default until QuoteWerks is restarted. [Build: 4] | |
1838. On the options tab of the Open Export Module setup there is now a new "Do not export Heading Lines" option. [Build: 4] | |

1845. For QuoteValet users, on the standard customer facing template, there is now a thumbnail image of the attached PDF file automatically displayed! [Build: 2] | |
1846. For QuoteValet users, on customer facing templates, rather than showing the line items on the quote in the details section, there is a new option to alternatively display a fully rasterized version of the attached PDF right in the webpage. This is useful for customers that do not need their customers to change options and would prefer just to present the PDF version of the quote to their customer and then have them electronically sign. [Build: 2] | |
1847. Maximizer 12 is now supported! [Build: 2] | |
1848. Ingram Micro Netherlands Real-time Pricing & Availability is now supported! [Build: 2] | |
1849. For QuoteValet users, when configuring QuoteValet to accept payments you can now specify which card types you accept (VISA, Master Card, American Express and/or Discover). This can be specified when editing the payment gateway details. [Build: 2] | |
1850. If QuoteValet accepted credit card payment for an order that had recurring items on it, you will now be able to retrieve the credit cards details (in a PCI compliant manner) from the payment (from Payments tab on QuoteValet Dashboard or QuoteValet tab in the quote) necessary to bill your customers credit card for the recurring charges each month/quarter, etc. Just right click on the payment entry and choose "Copy Payment Details" which will copy the information into the Windows Clipboard. Along with this feature are two new security rights. If the security right "CannotViewFullCreditCardDetails" is set then the user will not be able to view/copy the full credit card details. If the security right "CannotViewOthersFullCreditCardDetails" is set then the user will not be able to view/copy the full credit card details from other sales reps orders. [Build: 2] | |
1851. For QuoteValet users, when making payments by Proxy, you can now specify the payment method like Check, Wire Transfer or VISA, etc for times when the customer just calls in directly with payment. This is particularly useful when exporting these payments from QuoteValet to QuickBooks. You can also specify the Proxy Payment Reference, useful when receiving a check payment to enter for example "ck#1234". [Build: 2] | |
1852. For QuickBooks users, when the user logged into QuickBooks has QuickBooks Security Rights for "Sensitive Financial Data" and "Sensitive Accounting Activity" set to "No Access", the QuickBooks integration will now work under those settings. [Build: 2] | |
1853. For QuickBooks users, when exporting QuoteValet payments, you can now setup mappings that map the QuoteValet payment methods to different payment method and deposit accounts in QuickBooks. For example, while QuoteValet sends over VISA or MC, in QuickBooks, you might want the payment method for both of those to simply be "Credit Card". When accepting a payment when PayPal was used, you might want that payment to be deposited into a different account than where the regular credit card payments are deposited. The mappings become even more important when accepting check or wire transfer payments by proxy as you will typically want to deposit those payments into different accounts, for example, a check would go into "Undeposited Funds", whereas a wire transfer would be deposited directly into the bank account. [Build: 2] | |
1854. For QuickBooks users, you can now export a QuoteValet payment to QuickBooks without first exporting the quote/order/invoice to QuickBooks. [Build: 2] | |
1855. For ConnectWise users, from the Save window, you can now create 'one-off' activities in ConnectWise. [Build: 2] | |
1856. For ConnectWise users, when creating a ConnectWise Activity, you can now specify the 'Assign To' value so that you can assign the activity to another ConnectWise user. [Build: 2] | |
1857. The right click menu "Copy Authorization Details" for QuoteValet Payments now also copies the Date/Time of the transaction into the Windows Clipboard. [Build: 2] | |
1858. With Edit->Select Special, you can now choose to do a "Equal to" or "Begins with" search and the last value you searched for is remembered next time (even after exiting QuoteWerks). [Build: 2] | |
1859. For QuickBooks users, when exporting payments received by QuoteValet into QuickBooks, the list of payments can now be filtered by date range and also includes a checkbox for "Include previously exported payments". [Build: 2] | |
1860. You can now specify line attributes in product definitions. When using products as bundle items, configuration items, required items, and optional items, those line attributes specified in their setup will override the line attributes specified in the product definition. [Build: 2] | |
1861. The "Hide Quantity" attribute can now be specified for Group Header type line items. [Build: 2] | |
1862. The "Hide Quantity" attribute can now be specified when setting up Bundle Items, Configuration Items, Required Items, and Optional Items. [Build: 2] | |
1863. For QuickBooks users, the item Preferred Vendor field is now available when using QuickBooks as a product data source. For existing customer you will need to modify the QuickBooks Product Data source mappings (Products->Setup Product Data Sources) to map to the newly available field. [Build: 2] | |
1864. On the Open Document window, when searching by Expiration Date, the date can now be specified by selecting "Today", "This Week", etc. [Build: 2] | |
1865. Added the following new date ranges: This YTD, Last YTD, Two Years Ago YTD, Three Years Ago YTD, This Quarter, Last Quarter, 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, 3rd Quarter, 4th Quarter. [Build: 2] | |

1869. The following fields are now available for word merging and cover pages &DH_AlternateCommissionAmount, &DH_AlternateSubTotal, &DH_AlternateLocalTax, &DH_AlternateGSTTax, &DH_AlternateTotalTax, &DH_AlternateGrandTotal, &DH_AlternateProfitAmount", &DH_&AlternateTotalCost, &DH_&AlternateTotalList, &DH_AlternateDepositAmount, &DH_AlternateShippingAmount. [Build: 2] | |
1870. From the Quick Lookup Bar, if an exact match to a part number match is not found, the Product Lookup window is displayed and a search is run to show any partial part number matches. [Build: 2] | |
1871. From the Quick Lookup Bar, you can now do an Etilize search. [Build: 2] | |
1872. On the Open Document window, the document date can now be specified by selecting "Today", "This Week", etc. [Build: 2] | |
1873. On the Purchasing window, there is now a right click menu "Manually enter PO Number". This is useful when you have already created the PO for the item elsewhere, as setting the PO number removes it from the list of items that need to be ordered. Optionally you can also specify the PO date that will be written into the Order Date column for each line item selected. [Build: 2] | |
1874. On the Purchasing window, you can now filter by customer. Only customers and vendors within the filter date range are displayed. [Build: 2] | |
1875. On the Purchasing window, there is now an Export to Clipboard button. [Build: 2] | |

1877. On the Purchasing window, you can now filter documents by date range. [Build: 2] | |
1878. On the Purchasing window, there is now a status bar that shows the total number and dollar amount of the selected items. Useful for meeting minimum purchase amounts for free shipping offers from vendors. [Build: 2] | |
1879. When making a QuoteValet Payment by Proxy you can now specify the date rather than it being the day you are entering the proxy payment. [Build: 2] | |
1880. Added new user preference under the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu "When duplicating document do not change sales rep to logged in user". This is useful for users that prepare quotes for other sales reps when duplicating the sales reps quotes. [Build: 2] | |
1881. Added new option "Don't remember window location." on the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. This is useful in environments where the number and configurations of monitors are constantly changing. [Build: 2] | |
1882. For QuickBooks users, added new "Auto Select Preferred Vendor" option on the Mappings.Items tab on the QuickBooks setup window. When creating a new item and this option is selected, QuoteWerks will try to select the preferred vendor using the current vendor for the line item in the current quote. [Build: 2] | |
Version 4.7 Build 1 (released November 21, 2011) | |
1883. Etilize 2.0 UI redesign and enhancements. Now includes accessories, spec sheets, website links, and support for multiple part numbers for the same item. The Etilize panel is now available on both the Product Lookup window and the Quote WorkBook, making it easy to update existing items on existing quotes with updated Etilize information. Etilize information is no longer just displayed when searching Etilize on the Product Lookup window, the Etilize panel now displays when searching individual product databases including Autotask and ConnectWise products. When searching for Etilize Products from the Product Lookup, you can narrow down the results by Category, Sub-Category, Manufacturer, and you can also limit the results to only items carried by distributors that you have setup real-time pricing for. Pricing is now available from CDW, Newegg, Dell, and Amazon. Etilize product content is now supported for UK Customers. To top it all off the Etilize integration now boasts a 7x speed increase! [Build: 1] | |
1884. USA tax rate lookup by zip code is now included in our real-time module. Tax Rate information includes a breakdown of State, County, and City tax rates. This is a huge time-saver. No more going to the state's website to look them up manually. [Build: 1] | |
1885. Quotes can now require a deposit amount. This is particularly useful in conjunction with accepting a QuoteValet quote and then providing credit card payment for the deposit amount. The deposit amount can be a percent of the total, a fixed amount, based on a line item amount (like a subtotal), or of the sum of all line items matching up to 3 criteria. [Build: 1] | |
1886. QuoteValet 1.3. QuoteValet now accepts payments (deposits, progress payments, final payments, etc.) through over 80 payment gateways including Authorize.net, QuickBooks merchant services, PayPal, and Google checkout. Additionally, for QuickBooks users, payments received by QuoteValet can be imported as a Customer Payments in QuickBooks and automatically applied to the customer that made the payment. [Build: 1] | |
1887. QuoteValet 1.3. QuoteValet customer input integration. Customers can now enter information into fields on the QuoteValet page like CustomText fields from the DocumentHeader or DocumentItems. The customer can directly enter information into these fields or choose from lists. The customer input is then synched back into the quote in QuoteWerks. [Build: 1] | |
1888. For QuickBooks users, you can now create Purchase Orders in QuickBooks. Under the new Tools->Purchasing menu (formerly the Online Orders menu) you have access to all the Order items in QuoteWerks and can easily create QuickBooks Purchase Orders that contain items from multiple orders. Items that do not exist in QuickBooks will be created, and the QuickBooks Purchase Order number will be written back into the line items from the orders. Additionally if using the Online Ordering feature of the real-time module, after the items are ordered you will be asked if you want to create a Purchase Order in QuickBooks for the items you just ordered electronically. [Build: 1] | |
1889. For QuickBooks users, when QuoteWerks creates item definitions in QuickBooks, you can now map fields from the QuoteWerks Document Items to the QuickBooks Item Definition custom fields. This is supported in QuickBooks 2007 and higher. [Build: 1] | |
1890. When exporting Invoices/Estimates/SalesOrders/PurchaseOrders to QuickBooks, you can now map fields from the QuoteWerks Document Header to QuickBooks Invoice/Estimate/SalesOrder/PurchaseOrder level Custom fields. This is supported in QuickBooks 2007 and higher. [Build: 1] | |
1891. When exporting Invoices/Estimates/SalesOrders/PurchaseOrders to QuickBooks, you can now map columns/fields from the Document Items tab to the Custom field columns of the line items on the QuickBooks Invoice/Estimate/SalesOrder/PurchaseOrder. This is supported in QuickBooks 2007 and higher. [Build: 1] | |
1892. For QuickBooks users, QuickBooks custom item fields are now displayed in the QuickBooks product data source and can be mapped to Document Item columns. [Build: 1] | |
1893. When QuoteWerks is creating a new QuickBooks item, there is now an option to specify the Preferred Vendor for this new QuickBooks item. [Build: 1] | |

1895. For QuickBooks users, custom fields for the QuickBooks customer are now all displayed in the results when searching for a QuickBooks contact. Also the QuickBooks customer custom fields can be retrieved into the quote using the DataLink feature. [Build: 1] | |
1896. Added new line type of Summary Line. A Summary Line is similar to a subtotal in that it displays a totaled amount that is not included in the quote calculations. They can be positioned anywhere on the quote and will SUM up all line items matching up to 3 criteria. Very useful for summarizing the different categories of items on the quote like total hardware, total software, total service, etc. [Build: 1] | |
1897. Formulas for Product/Service type line items can now include SUMMING where all line items matching up to 3 criteria are summed. [Build: 1] | |
1898. Added new Line Attribute "Hide Quantity". For items that always have a quantity of 1 like maintenance fees, setting this attribute will hide that quantity from displaying on the printed quote or on the QuoteValet quote. [Build: 1] | |
1899. Added new "Remove Non-Selected Optional Items" option on the Convert to Order window. [Build: 1] | |
1900. The ShippingCost and ShippingAmount fields are now available in the DataLink feature. [Build: 1] | |
1901. For ConnectWise users, when using ConnectWise as a Product Data Source, the product's Manufacturer, Vendor, and VendorSKU of the product is now available. [Build: 1] | |

By default the standard values like DocumentItems->UnitPrice are cleared for particular line item types or when attributes like "HidePrice" are set. These new fields enable you to gain access to their underlying values. [Build: 1] | |
1903. The macro DocumentHeaders->&SalesRepMobilePhone is now available in the layout designer and on cover pages. [Build: 1] | |
1904. Added new macro fields &DH_&SoldToInLineAddress, &DH_&ShipToInLineAddress, &DH_&BillToInLineAddress. [Build: 1] | |

1911. On QuoteValet Dashboard Payments tab, added new checkbox "Include previously downloaded transactions". [Build: 1.02] | |
Version 4.6 Build 6 (released September 23, 2011) | |
1912. QuoteValet templates can now be customized! Select the Tools->Options menu, then QuoteValet tab, then the [Setup] button. On the Templates tab you can customize the templates. QuoteValet templates contain advanced HTML and CSS coding. Modifying these requires the person modifying them to have advanced web design skills. Once these templates are customized, you will be responsible for maintaining them from that point forward. This includes updates and fixes, as updates nor fixes can be automatically applied to customized unique open source HTML code. That being said, simple cosmetic changes like changing colors, pictures, and static text should not require any changes when updates are applied. Also, you can always easily revert the template HTML back to a standardized default at any time. [Build: 6] | |
1913. ACT! 2012 is now supported! [Build: 6] | |
1914. ConnectWise 2011.3 is now supported! [Build: 6] | |

1916. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for the Supplies Network ( www.suppliesnetwork.com ). [Build: 6] | |
1917. There is now a QuoteValet tab in the Quote WorkBook. This now contains all the QuoteValet document details that used to be located on the "This Document" tab of the QuoteValet dashboard. [Build: 6] | |
1918. For QuoteValet users, When an Approval is removed from the Quote within QuoteWerks, the Approval is now also removed from QuoteValet. [Build: 6] | |
1919. For QuoteValet users, when a Quote is approved using the File->Approve Quote menu, QuoteValet is now updated with the Approval. [Build: 6] | |
1920. The QuoteValet Dashboard window accessed from the QuoteWerks Toolbar can now be left open enabling you to fully interact with QuoteWerks at the same time. From the QuoteValet Dashboard, you can view activity and open quotes without having to close the dashboard to interact with the quotes. [Build: 6] | |
1921. Microsoft Word merging now supports CustomText01-CustomText14 Sections. This is similar to the ItemType Sections already supported in the Word Merging Feature. This enables you to separate out products using different classifications on your Microsoft Word based Quote or Proposal. For instance, if you use CustomText01 to hold the values of either Onsite or Remote assistance, you could have all Onsite assistance labor items on page 5 of a Word document by encasing it in "<<Begin.CustomText01.Onsite >>" and ending it with "<<End.CustomText01.Onsite >>". The Description field for each line could be printed in between these tags with "<<CustomText01.Onsite.&DI_Description>>". You could do the same for Remote by replacing Onsite in the macros. [Build: 6] | |
1922. Added DataLink support for DocumentHeader fields CustomText21, CustomText22,CustomText23, and CustomText24. [Build: 6] | |
1923. When exporting a native product data source from the Products->Setup Product Data Sources menu, a new "FolderListPaths" column has been added. It reads the folder ids in the FolderList field and writes out the full folder paths in this column for each folder the item is linked to. [Build: 6] | |
Version 4.6 Build 5 (released July 9, 2011) | |
1924. SugarCRM 6.2 is now supported! [Build: 5] | |
1925. Support for MS CRM 5.0 (Active Directory only). Internet Facing Deployment (IFD) is not supported. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online is not supported. [Build: 5] | |
1926. Peachtree 2012 is now supported! [Build: 5] | |
1927. Autotask is now supported with the new built-in Autotask link. This new integration is available in the Corporate Edition of QuoteWerks. The integration includes: a) Autotask can be searched to find Contacts to pull into the quote. b) QuoteWerks will create/update a Sales opportunity in Autotask. You can attach to existing Autotask opportunities or create new opportunities in Autotask. c) QuoteWerks will create/update an attachment to the quote under the Attachments tab in the Autotask Opportunity. This can be used to open the quote that the opportunity refers to. If this is a remote install or satellite office, opening that document link will import that quote into that QuoteWerks installation. d) QuoteWerks will create/update the Autotask Quote associated with the Opportunity. Line Items in QuoteWerks are automatically attached to the Autotask Quote. Products that do not already exist in Autotask are created in the Autotask master product database. Recurring revenue forecasting options are also supported. e) QuoteWerks can link to the Autotask Products and Services databases as Product Data Sources. From within QuoteWerks you can search the Autotask databases and add these products and services to your QuoteWerks quote. f) There is a "Display contact in contact manager" button on the SoldTo / ShipTo tab that will open the Autotask Contact in Autotask for the SoldTo, ShipTo, or BillTo linked contact. g) There is a "Display Opportunity in contact manager" button on the QuoteWerks Create/Update Autotask Opportunity window that will open the Autotask Opportunity in Autotask. h) There is a "Display Quote in contact manager" button on the QuoteWerks Create/Update Autotask Quote window that will open the Autotask Quote in Autotask. [Build: 5] | |
1928. ConnectWise 2011.2 is now supported! Starting with this build of QuoteWerks (Build 5), QuoteWerks will only support ConnectWise 2011.2 or higher. The entire ConnectWise Integration has been re-written from the ground up to take advantage of many new public APIs available in 2011.2. As a result, the integration is overall much faster and now almost completely uses their public APIs. [Build: 5] | |
1929. For ConnectWise users, the Primary SalesRep can now be specified When Creating/Updating an opportunity. [Build: 5] | |
1930. For ConnectWise users, support has been added for product class types of "Service" and "Agreement". The forecast creation logic for these product class types now mirrors ConnectWise. [Build: 5] | |
1931. For ConnectWise users, on the Create/Update Opportunity Window, Sales Stages are now sorted by the underlying Sequence Number instead of by their Description. [Build: 5] | |
1932. For ConnectWise users, the Location and Business Unit for a new opportunity default to the default Location and Business Unit set for the selected company in ConnectWise. [Build: 5] | |
1933. For ConnectWise users, the shipping amount specified on the Shipping Amount window accessible from the Document Items tab can now be sent over to the ConnectWise opportunity as a forecast summary line, or an individual product (including cost). [Build: 5] | |
1934. The synchronization of documents like quotes/orders/invoices will now propagate document deletions out between the master installation, remote site installation, and remote pc installations. Once this update is installed, all deletions be recorded and then propagated when the sync process is run. It will not retroactively apply deletes that happened before build 5 was installed.
Deletions on the master will propagate out to the remote laptop installation, and also any quotes deleted from the remote installation will be deleted from the master installation. Security rights determine if a user can delete quotes. Before a quote is deleted, a backup is made of it in the \QuoteWerks\DTF folder like jbnlQ1001.b01 just in case it needs to be recovered. [Build: 5] | |
1935. For Corporate Edition users rehosted to SQL, Email Templates (introduced in this build) can now be rolled out to remote installations or bi-directionally synchronized (including deletions). [Build: 5] | |
1936. Email templating system. Under the Tools->Customize E-Mail Templates menu you can now customize all the emails that QuoteWerks sends. The E-mail Templates window can stay open while sending e-mails in QuoteWerks making it easy to quickly make adjustments and preview the results.
There are System, Public and user E-Mail templates. System Email Templates are templates like "SYS_EmailQuote", "SYS_EmailPeerReviewRequest", etc. These are the templates that are used when sending these types of emails. The System templates can be directly modified by users with Master Rights. If individual users want their own versions of these templates, they simply clone the System template which creates a copy with the same name, but it is owned by the user. Then, when sending these types of emails, if the user has a template with the same name like "SYS_EmailQuote", then that template will be used.
Users can also create their own templates to be used from the Send Email window. There is now a new "Select Template" dropdown on the Send Email window. When a template is selected, the subject and body of the email will be updated with the information from the template. We've introduced a feature called "Template Contexts". Imagine you create a whole bunch of email templates, some that you use when emailing a quote, some that you use when emailing an invoice, some that you use when emailing a management report, etc. If we just listed all the templates, it would be a massive list of templates to choose from that were not relevant to what you were doing. With the Templates Contexts feature, you choose when the template appears in the list of templates to choose from.
Public templates can also be created. Public templates would be templates that most users would want to use, typically with company standardized information in them. So, rather than each user create their own copy with the same information, the administrator could just create a Public template that all the users could use. The real benefit here is that changes can be made in one template, and all the users now are using the updated template. Public templates (based on their context) will appear in the list of templates for all users on the Send Email window.
The E-Mail templating system only supports HTML formatted text. Because of this, the default "Message Format" option for "HTML" or "Plain text" has been removed. This was located under the Tools->My Preferences, Email tab, and then Defaults subttab. With the introduction of the Email Templates feature set, this setting is no longer relevant. The Email format can still be changed on the Send Email window from HTML to Plain text, thereby stripping out any HTML formatting. [Build: 5] | |
1937. Email snippets. Email Snippets are a great way to centrally organize and maintain information that is used in multiple email templates. If you have two email templates that both need to include the same information, you could of course type that same information into both email templates, and then when you need to make a change, you will need to remember to change it in both the email templates. If you entered that information into a Snippet, and then used a macro in the two email templates to refer to that Snippet, then you could just make changes to the information in the snippet and the changes will automatically appear in the two email templates.
There are Public and user E-Mail Snippets. Just like with E-Mail templates, Public Snippets would be snippets of information that most users would want to use, typically with company standardized information in them. So, rather than each user create their own Snippet with the same information, the administrator could just create a Public Snippet that all the users could use. The real benefit here is that changes can be made in one Snippet, all the templates that the snippet is used in will be updated. To use a Public Snippet in an email template or an email signature, simply include the macro PublicSnippet:{snippet name} and replace the entire {snippet name} portion with the name of the Snippet. The macro name to include a Snippet owned by the logged in user is MySnippet:{snippet name}. [Build: 5] | |
1938. Information from external files can be included in E-Mail Templates, E-Mail Snippets, and E-Mail Signatures. Simply include the macro File:{file name and path} and replace the entire {file name and path} portion with something like f:\goldmine\jcl.html. You can use this to insert html or plain text. [Build: 5] | |
1939. The following new macros are only available in email templates RecipientName, RecipientFirstName, RecipientLastName, RecipientEmail. [Build: 5] | |
1940. There are some advanced macros that can be used in the HTML Email Templates, Snippets, and Signatures. They are SystemTemplateBody:{Name}, SystemTemplateSubject:{Name}, PublicTemplateBody:{Name}, PublicTemplateSubject:{Name}, MyTemplateBody:{Name}, MyTemplateSubject:{Name}. These can be used to do some neat things, like create a template that includes all the information from another template and then just adds some more information above or below the other templates information. For example, there might be a public template that contains information thanking the customer for placing an order, and you can then create your own template that adds your own summary of the information above it. The subject version of the macro is used to obtain the subject of the email template. You can use this in the subject line of another template. [Build: 5] | |
1941. Added macros &APP_&LOGGEDINUSERFULLADDRESSA, &APP_&LOGGEDINUSERPHONEWITHEXTA, &APP_&LOGGEDINUSERFAXA, &DH_&SALESREPFULLADDRESSA, &DH_&SALESREPPHONEWITHEXTA, &DH_&SALESREPFAXA, &APP_LoggedInUserMobilePhone, &DH_&SalesRepMobilePhone, &DH_&QuoteValetCustomerFacingURL, &DH_&QuoteValetPeerReviewURL, &DH_&QuoteValetApprovalURL, &DH_&URLToOpenDocument. [Build: 5] | |
1942. You can now have more than one email signature. In fact, you have a Standard, Short, Alternate1, Alternate2, and Alternate3 email signature. There are so many uses for this. During each season of the year, you might have a slightly different e-mail signature (like Happy Halloween, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc) and now you can keep them all instead of replacing it each time. Sometimes you want to include your signature complete with your full address, phone number, title, etc. Other times you will just want to include your Short signature, like just your name, title, and phone number. The short signature is particularly good for QuoteValet "Your Quote is Ready" emails to your customers. The Email signature macros for use in the email templates are SignatureStandard, SignatureShort, SignatureAlternate1, SignatureAlternate2, SignatureAlternate3. Rather than typing in your email signature into each email template you setup, you can use email signature macros in them, making it easy to change your email signature in one place. [Build: 5] | |
1943. There is a new Active Signature feature. When using an email signature macro in a template, you can use SignatureActive instead of SignatureStandard, SignatureShort, etc. When you use the SignatureActive macro, it will be replaced with whatever you set as the Active Signature. Take for example, if you have 20 email templates and in each one you used the macro SignatureStandard, then when you wanted to use a different signature like SignatureAlternate1, you would have to edit 20 templates. With the Active Signature feature, just use the SignatureActive macro in the 20 templates, and then under the Email tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu, just change your Active Signature to Alternate1 and you will not have to modify any of the templates. You can also switch between signatures that might have a monthly special offer included in it. [Build: 5] | |
1944. Added several Misc Access rights for the new E-Mail Templating features which are CannotCreatePublicEmailTemplates, CannotModifyPublicEmailTemplates, CannotDeletePublicEmailTemplates, CannotViewOthersEmailTemplates, CannotCreatePublicEmailSnippets, CannotModifyPublicEmailSnippets, CannotDeletePublicEmailSnippets, and CannotViewOthersEmailSnippets. [Build: 5] | |
1945. You can now right click on a File Link on the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook and email the selected file. [Build: 5] | |
1946. The manual shipping amount specified on the Shipping Amount window accessible from the Document Items tab can now have a cost and an Item Type associated with it. A default ItemType for shipping can be set on the Documents tab under Tools->Options. [Build: 5] | |
1947. On the QuoteValet tab under Tools->Options menu, there are now the options "Use For Peer Reviews" and "Use for Approval Requests" options for QuoteValet. With these settings, when QuoteValet is enabled, you can now choose to not use QuoteValet for these functions, if you prefer to just use the email method for these functions. [Build: 5] | |
1948. Added new Approval restriction of "Don't allow Save to PDF until approved". When the document requires approval, the user will not be able to save a PDF file from the File->Print window, or save a PDF file from the Preview window. [Build: 5] | |
1949. When inserting a heading line (Edit->Insert Heading), there is now an F2Lookup (press F2) to store a list of commonly used headings to select from. [Build: 5] | |
1950. On the Send E-Mail window, ALT-S will now send the email. [Build: 5] | |

1952. When cloning a user, the email templates and email signatures for the user are also cloned. [Build: 5] | |
1953. Added new macro field &APP_LoggedInUserMobilePhone. [Build: 5] | |
1954. On the Print window, there is now a [QuoteValet Express Mode] button. When clicked, the quote will be saved quickly (without prompting for CRM integration), it will be uploaded to QuoteValet, and it will be previewed in your web browser. This is meant to be used after the initial upload of the quote to QuoteValet. This helps speed up the process of uploading, making changes, and then re-uploading. [Build: 5.09] | |
1955. On the Upload to QuoteValet window, pressing the ESCAPE key will close the form. [Build: 5.09] | |
1956. On the Upload to QuoteValet window, after emailing the customer notification email the window will be closed. [Build: 5.09] | |
1957. Added a new "Auto Preview after upload checkbox on the Upload to QuoteValet window. When checked, this will preview the QuoteValet quote in your web browser, performing two actions with a single click. This setting is remembered per user. [Build: 5.09] | |
1958. For ConnectWise users, it is now possible to create a Call activity without specifying a time. [Build: 5.09] | |
Version 4.6 Build 3 (released March 21, 2011) | |
1959. Under the File->New menu, the last tab you selected - Either Blank or Template will be remembered. [Build: 3] | |

1961. When deleting a document from QuoteValet, if the delete fails (maybe because the document is from a different or old account), you now have the option to remove the QuoteValet links from the QuoteWerks document. [Build: 3.03] | |

Version 4.6 Build 2 (released February 16, 2011) | |
1966. QuoteValet v1.1 now supported! See specific details further below. [Build: 2] | |
1967. Shipping Tax Code. The tax code of the Shipping amount is now stored per each document rather than per a global installation setting of the "Shipping is taxable" checkbox on the Installation tab of the Tools->Options menu. You can specify the tax code for the shipping amount on the Shipping Amount window by clicking on the [...] button next to the Shipping amount on the Document Items tab. The default tax code for the shipping amount can be set on the Documents tab of the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 2] | |
1968. For Canadian users, the "Do not charge PST on Shipping" checkbox on the Sale Info tab of the Quote WorkBook has now been replaced with the new Shipping Tax Code. [Build: 2] | |
1969. The shipping calculation method (Manual, Adding up, based on rate) is now being stored with the quote. and you can set the default method on the Defaults tab of the Tools->Options menu. [Build: 2] | |
1970. The TaxSystem (USA or Canada) is now stored with each quote also. The UK and Australian tax system is very similar to the USA system, so in QuoteWerks they use the USA tax system. [Build: 2] | |
1971. There is now a [Merge Macros and Preview] button on the toolbar when editing your html email signature. Often your email signature will contain macro fields. With this new feature you can easily see an in-editor preview of what the macro fields will be merged to so you can see what the final output would look like. [Build: 2] | |
1972. The HTML email editor [View HTML Source] button on the editor toolbar now displays the HTML code behind your email with syntax highlighting. [Build: 2] | |
1973. On the Sale Info tab you can specify an expiration date for the quote. This is particularly useful for QuoteValet users. If your customer views the quote on QuoteValet after it has expired, they will see a message stating that the quote has expired and there will be a link for them to click to request an updated quote from you. Your customer will still be able to view the quote, but will not be able to accept a quote that has expired. [Build: 2] | |
1974. New support with Subtotals and % Charge/Discount lines. Now, if a % Discount or % Charge line item is the only line item between two Subtotals, the second subtotal will now be calculated as the first subtotal - the % Discount. Typically SubTotals simply sum up the line item prices since the previous subtotal. [Build: 2] | |
1975. Added new cover page macros &DH_AlternateGrandTotal, &DH_AlternateSubTotal, &DH_AlternateTotalTax, &DH_AlternateLocalTax, &DH_&AlternateCurrencyIdentifier, &DH_&AlternateCurrencySymbol [Build: 2] | |
1976. If a quote has already been uploaded to QuoteValet for customer review, if you attempt to upload the quote for peer review, you will now be warned that the peer review copy will overwrite the customer review copy. I normal cases, peer reviews are performed before releasing the quote to the customer. [Build: 2] | |
1977. For QuoteValet users, you can now choose which QuoteValet Customer Facing Template you want to use for each quote. Sometimes you might want to upload a quote to QuoteValet that just has the PDF of the quote and then acceptance section - with no line item details. Other times depending upon the quote you may just want to upload the quote to QuoteValet that just shows the line items on the quote and no PDF file. And sometimes you may want to include both the line items and the PDF file attachment. Now you can do this. [Build: 2] | |
1978. For QuoteValet users, the QuoteValet dashboard can do a lot more reporting. You can filter by date range and by user. You can also filter your dashboard data to see focused, actionable information such as quotes expiring in next week, any QuoteValet activity today, any quotes not viewed yet, all the quotes viewed by customers last week, all quotes accepted this month, etc. [Build: 2] | |
1979. For QuoteValet users, Sales tax and shipping is now displayed in the QuoteValet quote. As options are selected and unselected, the shipping and sales tax for these changes are calculated in real-time on QuoteValet. The quotes tax system (USA or Canada) is automatically detected and taxes are calculated accordingly. [Build: 2] | |
1980. For QuoteValet users, you can now recall a quote. When a quote is recalled, your customer will not be able to view the quote. Instead, they will be redirected to a template that says, for example, "Sorry, this document has been recalled on 12/15/2010 at 9:45am by John Lewe." Optionally you can set a reason for the recall that your customer will see. Often you will leave it blank, but typically you would enter something like "Sorry, I forgot to include monthly maintenance, I'll have an updated quote to you today by 4:00pm". Of course, if you can quickly address whatever you forgot to do in the quote you can just re-upload the quote to QuoteValet. The recall feature is mostly used when you know that you cannot quickly make the change that is needed. Additionally since QuoteValet enables you to publish your quote to the cloud (for a specific customer), it is important to know that you can rescind that publishing while at the same time letting the customer know that you purposely have recalled the quote rather than it just disappearing. [Build: 2] | |
1981. For QuoteValet users, in the QuoteValet Dashboard you can now delete a quote from QuoteValet. Typically you will not need to or want to do this except for when you have been creating test quotes and uploading them to QuoteValet. Once a quote has been accepted by a customer through QuoteValet you are not able to delete that quote and the electronic signature acceptance documentation unless you have master rights in QuoteWerks. [Build: 2] | |
1982. For QuoteValet users, QuoteValet quotes can be "Accepted by Proxy". While the most ideal situation is for you to upload your quote to QuoteValet and then have the customer click on "I Accept" through the QuoteValet page, sometimes the customer simply calls in to ask some clarifying questions or to accept the quote and provide their payment information at the same time. For just this situation, QuoteValet now has an "Accept by Proxy" feature. It works seamlessly within QuoteWerks. When you convert a quote to an order, the QuoteValet counterpart is flagged as Accepted. This is particularly important for reporting. [Build: 2] | |
1983. For QuoteValet users, there is a now a new quote acceptance page, so after your customer accepts the quote they will be redirected to a simpler smaller page that just contains their acceptance confirmation. [Build: 2] | |
1984. For QuoteValet users, When quotes are "Converted as Lost", the QuoteValet quote that you uploaded to QuoteValet will now also be converted as lost. This is particularly important for reporting. [Build: 2] | |
1985. For QuoteValet users, you can now upload quotes to QuoteValet that contain optional items within optional groups. Combined with QuoteValet's ability to let the customer pick and choose various options this really takes the groups and options functionality to a much more effective level. [Build: 2] | |
1986. The DataLink now supports the fields ContractStartDate and ContractEndDate. [Build: 2] | |
Version 4.6 Build 1 (released January 11, 2011) | |
1987. QuickBooks 2011 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1988. Outlook 2010 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
1989. Approvals. Have you ever had a sales rep email a quote to a customer that you wished you had reviewed before the customer received it? You now have that power within QuoteWerks! With the new Approval Requirements feature you can require that your sales reps obtain approval from you before a quote can be printed, emailed, or uploaded to QuoteValet. You can activate the Approval requirement per sales rep, and define under which conditions the approval is required and by who the approval needs to be obtained from. An Approval requirement can be triggered on a document or line item level. For example, if any single item's margin is less than 5%, then this quote requires an approval, or if the margin on the entire quote is less than 15%, then this quote requires an approval. When an approval is required, you can specify who is authorized to approve the quote. For example, if the quote amount is greater than 10,000 it requires the single approval from the sales reps manager. If the quote amount is greater than 50,000 then it requires a single approval from an escalated approver such as the CEO. If the quote amount is greater than 100,000 then it requires multiple approvals from escalated approvers such as the CEO and CFO. There are many different scenarios that can be accounted for. The Approval Requirements are setup Under the Utilities->User Maintenance menu. Select a user and click on the [Edit] button. From there, click on the Documents tab, and then click on the [Document Approval Settings] button. From there you can specify the approval requirements. When an approval is required, the user can request it by selecting the [Request Approval] button on the File|Print window. When used with the optional QuoteValet subscription, the approval features are greatly extended. [Build: 1] | |
1990. Peer Reviews. Ever wanted to share a quote with your colleagues to get some feedback? With the QuoteWerks Peer Review features, this just got easier. From the File|Print window, click on the [Submit for Peer Review] button. This will send an email to your colleagues asking for feedback. When they receive the email, using the new "quotewerks protocol handler" feature, they can simply click on a hyperlink in the email and your quote will open up in their local installation of QuoteWerks. [Build: 1] | |
1991. Microsoft Word merging. As an alternative to the built-in QuoteWerks report writer, you can now create Microsoft word based quotes and proposals from within QuoteWerks. Everyone knows how to use Microsoft Word. Word is more flexible than report designers and it is easy to design a Word based Quote layout since you already know how to use Word. QuoteWerks simply drops the data into your Word document wherever you want it. After merging, it is easy to make changes or tweaks to the Word document. Best of both worlds ? macro replacement and the ability to edit afterwards. To top it all off, QuoteWerks then automatically saves your data merged Word document as a PDF file and links it into the quote. The new Microsoft Word merging feature seamlessly integrates into the File|Print window. On the Layouts tab, you simply choose a Word Document Template rather than the built-in report designer layout. Sit back and watch QuoteWerks update your Word Document. Microsoft Word Document merging is also integrated into Links tab of the Quote WorkBook as a right click menu for "Merge Word document". You can select multiple Word documents (*.doc;*.docx) at the same time to merge. [Build: 1] | |
1992. Unified Print, Share, Publish Deliver window. The Print window has been re-designed to support the new Microsoft Word merging, QuoteValet, Save as PDF, Peer Review, and Approval features. On the surface it may look familiar, but underneath it behaves very differently. Now, on the Layout tab, you can choose | |
1993. The QuoteWerks built-in E-mail client now supports HTML E-mail. You can do text formatting? Fonts, Bold, Color, etc. You can embed URLs, email address, etc in the message body. You can include images (Linked or Embedded). QuoteWerks Macro fields can be merged into the email, including Merging Hyperlink URLs. Additionally, the E-mail window has been updated with a new interface including a resizable window. The new HTML email client works with both the built-in QuoteWerks SMTP email and the QuoteWerks automation of Outlook. [Build: 1] | |
1994. QuoteValet integration. QuoteValet is the online quote delivery and acceptance vehicle for QuoteWerks. QuoteValet is a more robust way to deliver quotes to your customers and prospects. Rather than attaching a PDF file to the quote and emailing it to your customer, QuoteValet will create a personalized web page to present the quote on quotevalet.com. The advantage of using QuoteValet is that you will actually know when your customer has received the quote. You will know when they have viewed the quote and how often they review the quote. Your customer will be able to change quote options dynamically and ask you questions through the customized quote page (keeping all communication together). Most importantly, they will be able to electronically accept and sign the quote! QuoteValet setup in QuoteWerks is on the QuoteValet tab of the Tools|Options menu. QuoteValet is accessed though the File|Print window, and also through the QuoteValet toolbar button. [Build: 1] | |
1995. Quote Preparer feature. Now you can specify which users can create/prepare quotes on your behalf. These preparers can be specified on the Documents tab under the Utilities|User Maintenance menu. [Build: 1] | |
1996. Added Misc Access right "CannotManuallyModifySalesRep". When this is set, the Sales Rep field cannot be changed by any user except users with Master rights. [Build: 1] | |
1997. Added a new IsSelected variation of the Line Item Optional Attribute. With this, you can flag an item as being option, but as the SELECTED option. A SELECTED option will be included in the quote total. This is particularly useful with the QuoteValet integration, as you can present one or more options to your customer and you can pre-select the option that you recommend. In the site.ini file under the "System" section, there is also an INI key "OptionalSelectedItemText" which defaults to " (Optional - SELECTED)". This can be modified similar to the "OptionalItemText" INI key. [Build: 1] | |
1998. The Line Item Optional Attribute is now supported for Group Header lines, effectively making the group as a whole (including all the line items in the group) optional. This is particularly useful with the QuoteValet integration. [Build: 1] | |
1999. Line Items flagged as Optional can now also be flagged as mutually exclusive items. When the optional item is part of an Exclusive Group, the selection of one item will unselect the other options that are part of that exclusive option group. This is particularly useful with the QuoteValet integration. [Build: 1] | |
2000. On the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook, there is now a right click menu for "Remove Link". [Build: 1] | |
2001. You can now easily convert a Microsoft Word Document (*.doc;*.docx) into a PDF file from the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook. Simply right click on the Word document, and choose "Save as PDF". You can select multiple Word documents at the same time. [Build: 1] | |
2002. On the print window, you can now choose any of the files from the tabs and e-mail them directly from this window. [Build: 1] | |
2003. There is now a File|Login as another User menu. Very useful for administrators that need to log in as different users for setup and testing. [Build: 1] | |
2004. On the E-mail address selection window there is now a right click menu option for "Add to TO", "Add to CC", "Add to BCC". Double clicking chooses the currently selected email address and closes the e-mail selection window. [Build: 1] | |
2005. On the E-mail address selection window you can select e-mail addresses from QuoteWerks users or QuoteWerks groups. [Build: 1] | |
2006. On the Document Items tab of the Quote WorkBook, double-clicking on the line item record selector now displays the Line Attributes window. [Build: 1] | |
2007. Added Misc Access right "CannotUseQuoteValetLicense". This will prevent a user from being able to upload documents to QuoteValet. It will also prevent them from using the Peer Review and Approval features of QuoteValet. [Build: 1] | |
2008. Added CustomText21, CustomText22, CustomText23, and CustomText24 to the Custom tab of the Quote WorkBook. [Build: 1] | |
2009. Added CustomText15, CustomText16, CustomText17, CustomText18, CustomText19, CustomText20 fields on the Document Items tab. [Build: 1] | |
2010. When changes have been made to the quote, a Save icon appears in the status bar (lower right) indicating that it needs to be saved. [Build: 1] | |
2011. When a document template is open, the indicator "TEMPLATE" will appear in the status bar (lower right). [Build: 1] | |
2012. Under the Utilities|Change Registration Information menu, there is now a new Licensee Website field. This is now used when integrating with QuoteValet. This website URL is displayed in the QuoteValet Company Letterhead banner. Also on the registration information window, the country is no longer required, and discrete City, State, and PostalCode fields have been added. [Build: 1] | |
2013. On the Print window, under the Spec sheet tab, if specified spec sheet files are missing, these missing files will be detected and "Missing" (in red) will prefix the file name in the display. Also, there is now a tool tip for each spec sheet item so you can see the full path to where the spec sheet file is located. [Build: 1] | |
2014. Emails are sent in larger packet chunks. For some slower SMTP servers this will yield, emails will be sent faster. [Build: 1] | |
2015. Added new macros &APP_&LoggedInUserFullNameOrUserName, &DH_&SalesRepFullNameOrUserName, &APP_&LicenseeInlineAddress, &DH_&SalesRepInlineAddress, &APP_&LoggedInUserInlineAddress, &APP_&LoggedInUserPhoneWithExt, &DH_&SalesRepMobilePhone, &APP_LoggedInUserMobilePhone. [Build: 1] | |
2016. Added new macro &SYS_NowA which formats the date/time, for example, as "October 9, 2010 2:34 pm". Also added macro &SYS_NowB which formats the date/time, for example, as "Saturday, Oct 9, 2010 2:34 pm". [Build: 1] | |
2017. Added new QuoteWerks API method Application.BringToFocus [Build: 1] | |
2018. Added new QuoteWerks API method Application.RestoreIfMinimized [Build: 1] | |
2019. There is now a new "Heading" type line item. Typically Comment type line items would be also be used as Headings. Now there are defined Heading and Comment line items. Insert a heading line into the quote by choosing Edit|Insert Heading. When Heading lines are used, on the Add Item Assistant or from the Bundles, or Configurator, you can choose to insert the item as the first item under the heading, or append the item the last item under the Heading. When appending it as the "last" item under the Heading, it uses some "artificial Intelligence", so if the last items under the heading are a blank comment line, % charge line, % discount line, or subtotal line, then the item is added above those items. Heading lines are also useful in the printed output as Heading type line items can have their font larger and bold, whereas comments could be the same font size as the regular Product/Service line items. Some examples for Heading lines would be like "Family Room"/"Master Bedroom"/"Theater Room", or "Service"/"Parts", or "Servers"/"Workstations"/"Services"/"Managed Services"/"Anti-Virus"/"Monitoring". [Build: 1.11] | |
2020. For SalesLogix users, "SalesLogix Remote Office" type of installations are now supported. [Build: 1.11] | |
2021. Group header line items now support the Hide Price line item attribute. This is useful for hiding the rolled up total price of a grouped bundle. [Build: 1.17] | |
2022. The fields in the Select Special drop down now have their customized labels displayed in parenthesis next to the field name. [Build: 1.17] | |

2030. ConnectWise 2010.3 is now supported! [Build: 9] | |
2031. You can now synchronize master and remote installations that are not running the exact same build number as long as they are compatible builds. [Build: 9] | |

2033. For ConnectWise users, when creating product definitions in ConnectWise, there is now a mapping for the ConnectWise Product Class. [Build: 9] | |
2034. When sending sales opportunity information over to ConnectWise, ACT!, ACT! For Web, Outlook, MS CRM, and SugarCRM, when grouped bundles are configured to be created in the CRM as a single roll-up line (as opposed to individual line items) now if 50% or more of the items that compose the grouped bundle are taxable than the single roll-up will be also created as taxable in the CRM. [Build: 9] | |
Version 4.5 Build 7 (released June 23, 2010) | |
2035. GoldMine 9.0 is now supported! [Build: 7] | |
2036. Maximizer 11.0 is now supported! [Build: 7] | |
2037. Peachtree 2011 is now supported! [Build: 7] | |
2038. New PDF assembly feature. There is now a [PDF] button on the Print window. This enables you to select the various print options on the Print window, like the layout file, Literature, Spec Sheets, File Links, etc, and then create a single PDF file containing only those selections. When creating the PDF file, the new Save File dialog is displayed giving you the option to automatically link this new PDF file to the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook. You can assemble combinations of literature and specs sheets into single PDF files. You could create a PDF file that just contained the basic line item details for an order that you can give to your technicians that will be fulfilling the order, rather than them having to look through an entire proposal. Especially when using the 'Generate Multiple Purchase Orders' feature, a PDF file of each purchase order can be created and automatically linked into the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook. After the PDF file has been created, the new Display Saved File dialog presents you with options such as [Open containing folder], [Copy name], and [View file]. [Copy name] is particularly useful for then pasting the file path and name into an email or other document. The [Open containing folder] is useful for quickly navigating to the folder that the file is saved in for purposes of seeing what other files are in that folder, or maybe so that you can then move the file or rename it. [Build: 7] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2039. For ConnectWise users, you can now attach files to the Documents tab of the ConnectWise Opportunity through the Create/Update ConnectWise Opportunity window. You can either select a file using a file selection dialog, or choose a file that is already linked to the quote under the Links tab on the Quote WorkBook. This is really useful for attaching a PDF version of the quote to the ConnectWise Opportunity. Having a PDF version of the quote is an advantage because anyone can then view the quote - they do not have to have QuoteWerks installed on their machine to view the quote. You can attach multiple PDF files to the opportunity, so you can easily attach the customer proposal, and a no frills plain vanilla version for the service technicians to follow, and basically anything else you could want. [Build: 7] | |
2040. For ConnectWise users, the TaxRate and Terms fields can now be automatically retrieved from the ConnectWise company and pulled into the quote using the DataLink feature. To activate this, need to setup them as DataLink fields. Under the Contacts->Setup Contact Manager, choose ConnectWise and then click on the [DataLink Setup] button. Click on the [New] button to create a new DataLink mapping. Choose "Company->TaxRate" as the Contact Manager field and "LocalTaxRate" as the QuoteWerks field. For the Terms field, click on the [New] button and choose "Company->Terms" as the Contact Manager field and "Terms" as the QuoteWerks field. [Build: 7] | |
2041. For ConnectWise users, the ConnectWise Opportunity Location and Business Unit can now be set through the Create/Update Opportunity window in QuoteWerks. [Build: 7] | |
2042. For ConnectWise users, ConnectWise user defined fields are now supported by our DataLink. The User Defined Fields from the Profile tab of the ConnectWise Company record and the User Defined Fields from the Other tab of the ConnectWise Contact record can now be pulled into the quote automatically when the contact is inserted into the quote. [Build: 7] | |
2043. For ConnectWise users, if a quote is converted to an order and only this quote is linked to the ConnectWise Opportunity, the ConnectWise Opportunity will be closed as Won (in addition to the quote's forecast line being closed as Won). [Build: 7] | |
2044. For ConnectWise users, when QuoteWerks creates a product definition in ConnectWise, the manufacturer field will now be set as long as the Manufacturer exists in the hard coded list of manufacturers in ConnectWise. If the manufacturer for the item does not exist in ConnectWise the manufacturer will be set to a blank value. If you would prefer to have the manufacturer set to "Other", you can set the ini key ManufacturerNotFoundSetToOther=-1 under the [ConnectWise] section of the site.ini file. [Build: 7] | |
2045. Outlook 2010 now supported for suppression of Outlook Security Prompt of "A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this?" [Build: 7] | |
2046. On the QuoteWerks Edit Contact window, there is now a ContextRef field below the Contact field. This can be used to make a contextual note about this person that is always displayed right by the contact name (rather than buried in the Notes tab). You can use this to store all sorts of useful information like "he is our new property manager", "met him at EHExpo", "met him golfing with John", "met at 2009 superbowl party". You can also put things like "is a guy" or "is a girl" for help with unisex names. And of course you can use it to indicate how to pronounce someone's name, like for "Lewe" you could say "pronounced Loo". [Build: 7] | |
2047. On the QuoteWerks Edit Contact window, on the Notes tab, the Notes tab is now divided into two sections - TopNotes and Notes. Typically as you add new notes to the Notes field, the older notes get pushed further and further down. Often, important information then becomes buried in the middle of lots of notes. The TopNotes will always stay on the top. This is especially useful for recording things like warnings, notices, and instructions that you always want to see. It can be things like user id's, account numbers, instructions on how to navigate through their phone system like prompt [5] then [7], then [2]. You can also store information like "Always get signature for delivery. Always use their FedEx# 1234-5678-9. Typically we speak with John or Brian when accepting orders. If the customer asks for pricing, only Mike knows the special pricing they negotiated." [Build: 7] | |
2048. On the Views tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu there is now a "Default Edit Contact tab" option. This will set which tab is displayed by default when viewing a QuoteWerks contact record. [Build: 7] | |
2049. On the Notes tab of the QuoteWerks Edit Contact window, you can press CTRL-I to insert a note. This will switch to the Notes tab and insert the logged in user name, date, and time at the beginning of the notes field. It will insert, for example, "*** (John Lewe) *** May 10, 2010 at 9:45 am". [Build: 7] | |
2050. The Built-in SMTP email encoding can now be modified. On the Misc sub tab of the Internet tab, under the Tools->My Preferences menu, there is now a "Use 8 bit encoding" option. There is also a "Encode E-mail using character set" setting. For example, to support the German Umlaut characters, you would check the "8 bit" option and type in the character set of "iso-8859-15". [Build: 7] | |
2051. Grouped Configuration Items and Grouped Bundle Items now support a "Don't include in Group" option. This option gives you the capability to do two different things. First, through the Configurator, the last items you choose can be formula based line items that are added below the group as regular line items not actually in the group. The benefit here is that you can add for example a formula based line item that is 20% of the group header amount. Alternatively, at the end of the Configuration you can create one or more selection containers and populate it with items that will not be included in the group, but rather after the group. The real benefit here is that you can build a configuration that is grouped and then easily choose from a specific list of other products to add after the group. Without this you would have to go search the entire product database manually looking for other items to add. With this feature, you can just choose from the items previously setup in the selection container. [Build: 7] | |
2052. In the Quick Lookup Bar, if you press enter in the part number field without specifying a part number, the Product Lookup window will be opened to the product database selected in the Quick Lookup Bar. [Build: 7] | |
2053. Product/Service items that are setup with the Formula based pricing method now supports negative numbers, so you can calculate the pricing as "-20%" or "20%" [Build: 7] | |
2054. Added Select All and De-Select All buttons to the Links tab of the File|Print window. [Build: 7] | |
2055. Added new "Remove all print selections" button on the File|Print window. This de-selects all Cover Page, Literature, Spec Sheets, and File Links selections on this window. [Build: 7] | |
2056. If a Report Layout .fpc file is copied into the Print Layout's LAYOUTS folder, you will be prompted to convert the Report Layout .fpc file to a Print Layout .fpc file. Different macros and fields are supported in Report Layouts vs Print Layouts which will need to be accounted for, but the benefit is that you can leverage any formatting that you have created in the Report Layout. [Build: 7] | |
2057. Pressing the F12 key launches the Remote Assistance support page used to begin a remote control session. This is the same as the Help->QuoteWerks on the Web->Remote Assistance menu, just a lot less steps. [Build: 7] | |
Version 4.5 Build 5 (released April 23, 2010) | |
2058. For ConnectWise users, there is now a new [Unlink] button on the Create/Update Opportunity window. This is useful when accidentally attaching a quote to the wrong opportunity in ConnectWise. With this feature all entries relating to the QuoteWerks Quote will be removed from the ConnectWise opportunity including: Forecast lines, products listed under the Products Tab, services listed under the Services Tab, the document attachment under the Documents Tab, and the Call activity under the Activities Tab. [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2059. For ConnectWise users, when selecting a contact to use in the quote, if the contact has multiple sites associated with it, you will be able to choose the particular site you would want to use. Sites can be designated as Primary, Default Ship, Default Bill, and Default Mail. These designations are indicated in your selection list. Additionally, when selecting a Ship To contact for the quote, the Default Ship site will be the default selection. [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2060. Multiple PDF files can now be merged into a single PDF file. When creating a quote that included PDF literature files and/or PDF spec sheet files, and then emailing the quote, all these PDF files would be attached individually. Now with the new 'Merge PDF files' option, all these PDF files will be automatically merged into a single PDF file with the main quote itself resulting in only one PDF file attachment when emailing quotes. This user based option can be set under the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2061. On the Links tab you can now select Multiple PDF files that are linked and right click to choose the Merge PDF files menu. This will combine the selected PDF files into a single PDF file and will create a file link to the combined single PDF file on the Links tab. [Build: 5] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2062. On the Print Preview window, when saving the preview as a PDF file, any PDF file attachments will be merged into the resulting PDF file as long as the user option of 'Merge PDF files' is set. [Build: 5] | |
2063. The Recurring Revenue aspects of a product definition can now be imported through the Import Wizard with the macro fields &RecurringData.BillingCycle, &RecurringData.CycleBasis, and &RecurringData.FirstPaymentIncluded. [Build: 5] | |
2064. When using the Price Comparison window to change the vendor for an item, if the item cost in the quote is calculated using a CostModifier like D40, you will now be asked if you want to keep the cost modifier or overwrite the cost with the fixed cost from the comparison window thereby clearing the cost modifier. [Build: 5] | |
Version 4.5 Build 4 (released April 7, 2010) | |
2065. ConnectWise 2010 is now supported with new built-in ConnectWise link. This new integration is available in the Corporate Edition of QuoteWerks. The integration includes: a) ConnectWise can be searched to find Contacts to pull into the quote. b) QuoteWerks will create/update a Sales opportunity in ConnectWise. You can attach to existing ConnectWise opportunities or create new opportunities in ConnectWise. You can even attach multiple quotes to the same ConnectWise opportunity. QuoteWerks creates forecast lines in the ConnectWise opportunity breaking down the forecasted amount by Product, Service, Managed Service, and Other. This enables you to quickly glance at your opportunity to see your revenue breakdown. Recurring revenue forecasting options are also supported. Products and Services can be optionally be automatically created under the Products and Services tabs respectively in the ConnectWise opportunity. These products are also created and updated in the ConnectWise master product database. c) QuoteWerks will create/update an attachment to the quote under the Documents tab in the ConnectWise Opportunity. This can be used to open up the quote that the opportunity refers to. If this is a remote install or satellite office, opening that document link will import that quote into that QuoteWerks installation. d) QuoteWerks will create/update a call activity in ConnectWise used to follow up on the quote. This call will be linked to both the ConnectWise contact and the ConnectWise Opportunity. e) The QuoteWerks DataLink feature can be used with ConnectWise enabling you to retrieve information like Terms and shipping method from the ConnectWise contact into the quote. f) When printing, QuoteWerks can retrieve Contact data from ConnectWise and include it in the printed output. g) ConnectWise Contact data can be retrieved using the F2 Lookup macro of ~ConnectWise_Macro(). h) QuoteWerks can link to the ConnectWise product database as a Product Data Source. From within QuoteWerks you can search the ConnectWise product database, and add these products to your QuoteWerks quote. i) The integration communicates directly with the ConnectWise backend, so the ConnectWise "fat" client does not need to be running for the integration to work. This is particularly useful if you do not have ConnectWise or QuoteWerks running. In this case, if you want to create a quote, you only need to open QuoteWerks. [Build: 4] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2066. Recurring Revenue support. Now, you can use the Line Item Attributes to specify if a line item is recurring revenue like a Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual fee. You can set if you want the first month's fee to be due up front or not. You can easily run management reports to see how much Monthly revenue is forecasted based on these recurring revenue items. You can also filter these reports to see when various monthly contract periods are ending, so that you can contact your customers for renewals, etc. Often in a quote, you may have one line item with an Annual recurring revenue and another with a Monthly recurring revenue. Rather than having to individually specify the start and end date for both of these line items, you can just set the ContractStartDate and ContractEndDate on the Sale Info tab and that can be used for both line items. The RecurringBillingCycle, RecurringStartDate and RecurringEndDate columns will be available on the Document Items tab. You have access to all this recurring information in the print layout with the following DocumentItem fields: &LineAttributeIsRecurring, RecurringBillingCycle, RecurringFirstPaymentIncluded, &RecurringRevenueWeekly, &RecurringRevenueMonthly, &RecurringRevenueQuarterly, &RecurringRevenueAnnual. Additionally, there are document level DocumentHeader macros of &RecurringRevenueWeeklySubtotal, &RecurringRevenueMonthlySubtotal, &RecurringRevenueQuarterlySubtotal, and &RecurringRevenueAnnualSubtotal. [Build: 4] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2067. QuoteWerks now supports product content subscriptions from Etilize. This subscription provides QuoteWerks users in the IT industry with consumer friendly product descriptions, product images, and marketing descriptions. Without Etilize, QuoteWerks users have to import product information and scour the web looking for product images to download and for product descriptions to include in their quotes and proposals. With Etilize, QuoteWerks searches the Etilize database "from the cloud", and returns product matches including customer friendly descriptions, product pictures, and in depth product summaries with marketing and feature descriptions, all of which are easily added into the quote. The pictures are automatically downloaded and saved into the QuoteWerks\Images folder. Combine the Etilize subscription with the Real-time Pricing & Availability for D&H, Ingram Micro, Tech Data, and SYNNEX, and the Etilize integration will also show you the current pricing and availability for each of these items from each of these distributors all at once. Please note, Etilize supports part numbers from D&H (USA & Canada), Ingram Micro (USA & Canada), Tech Data (USA only), and SYNNEX (USA only). [Build: 4] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2068. The Online Ordering Module is no longer sold as a separate $399 annual subscription. The Online Ordering features are now included with the Real-Time Data Module. Additionally, while in demo mode, you can now interact with the Online Ordering screens. You will still need to request a trial key however to activate the ability to actually place an online order. [Build: 4] | |
2069. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for the UK IT distributor Westcoast ( www.westcoast.co.uk ). [Build: 4] | |
2070. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for the UK IT distributor Northamber ( www.northamber.com ). [Build: 4] | |
2071. Added new CompanyAKA1, CompanyAKA2, and CompanyAKA3 fields to the built-in QuoteWerks contact database. This feature lets you specify up to 3 "Also Known As" (AKA) aliases for each company record. When searching for a contact by company name, if the search phrase finds a match in the Company, CompanyAKA1, CompanyAKA2, or CompanyAKA3 field, that record will be returned in the results. There are many fantastic ways to use this new feature which you will quickly find very useful. For example, a company like "Center for Computer Resources" when asked for their company name may reply with "CCR". If you search your database for CCR you will of course not find it, because the company’s full name is "Center for Computer Resources". Using the new company name aliasing feature, you can set CompanyAKA1="CCR". That way you will find their record if you type in either "Center for Computer Resources" or "CCR". Here is another way to use the Aliasing feature. You may use contact management software "GoldMine". The company that makes "GoldMine" is "FrontRange Solutions, Inc.". If you want to search your database to look for the phone number for GoldMine support, you will most likely remember the name "GoldMine" and not "FrontRange Solutions, Inc." In this case, you can set the CompanyAKA1="GoldMine". That way when you search for "GoldMine" it will pull up "FrontRange Solutions, Inc." Building on this, you could also store the name of your GoldMine reseller in CompanyAKA2, so that when you search for "GoldMine" QuoteWerks returns the contact information for both the company that makes GoldMine and the reseller that services your GoldMine installation. Another really great use for the Aliasing feature is to record company parent and child relationships. A company may have its own particular name like "Aspire Technologies, Inc.", but its parent company is "Lewe Enterprises". You may have "Aspire Technologies, Inc." listed in your database, but when they call you, they say their name is "Lewe Enterprises". In this case, you can set the Company="Aspire Technologies, Inc.", and CompanyAKA1="Lewe Enterprises". Another use would be simply to use the Alias as a nickname. Another use is when a company changes their name. You can put the old name in CompanyAKA1, and update the Company field with the new name. This way, you will find the record when you search for the old or current company name. This is particularly useful when someone who has been with the company for a long time may initially announce themselves as working for an old company name either accidentally or they assume that your records have not been updated. [Build: 4] | |
2072. Added support for a Sales Rep picture and Electronic Signature picture on the Personal tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. This is a great way for your customers to get to know the personal side of your sales reps. The Electronic Signature picture can be used to add a picture of your handwritten signature to the quote which is another nice personal touch. These pictures are available as the following fields in the layout designer: Application.LoggedInUserPicture, Application.LoggedInUserElectronicSignature, DocumentHeaders.&SalesRepPicture, and DocumentHeaders.&SalesRepElectronicSignature. [Build: 4] | |
2073. On the Layout Designer window, there is now a [Save and Preview] button on the toolbar. With this, you can make a change to a layout and then click this button to perform the combined tasks of saving the layout, closing the layout, and previewing the layout. Additionally, after the preview window is closed, QuoteWerks re-opens the layout in the layout designer so that you can continue making changes! [Build: 4] | |
2074. Added 4 more CustomText fields on the Custom tab of the Quote WorkBook. Added fields CustomText21, CustomText22, CustomText23, and CustomText24. [Build: 4] | |
2075. Added Opportunity Name default on the Misc tab of the Tools|Options menu. Macros are supported. With this, the default Opportunity names can be more descriptive and therefore more useful. Currently this is only used with ConnectWise opportunities. [Build: 4] | |
2076. Keyboard shortcuts for date field entry in most date input text boxes such date fields on the quote workbook tabs, the Edit Product window, Open Document, QuoteWerks Edit contact window, and more. The keyboard shortcuts are as follows: "t"=today's date. "+"=increase the date by one day. "-"=decrease the date by one day. "d"=increase the date by one day. "m"=first day of the month(if field is empty), otherwise increases the date by one month. "h"=last day of the month(if field is empty), otherwise increases date to the end of the current month, and then each subsequent press increases the date to the last day of the next month. "y"=first day of the year(if field is empty), otherwise increases the date by one year. "r"=last day of the year(if field is empty), otherwise increases date to the end of the current year, and then each subsequent press increases the date to the last day of the next year. [Build: 4] | |
2077. You can now specify an ItemType for Percent Charge and Percent Discount line items. Also, the ItemType can now be specified in the definition of Grouped Bundles and Grouped Configurations. [Build: 4] | |
2078. In the Quick Loookup toolbar, if you type in a part number, and the product is not found, the part number field will no longer be cleared. [Build: 4] | |
2079. Added Application->CurrencySymbol field, and DocumentHeaders.&AlternateCurrencySymbol field for the print layout designer. [Build: 4] | |
2080. The Edit Product window caption now displays the Manufacturer Part Number for quick reference. [Build: 4] | |
2081. The SYNNEX description field now supports descriptions longer than 100 chars. A longer description of up to 240 characters (if provided by SYNNEX) is now supported. To apply this change, the SYNNEX product data source will need to be removed and the re-added. [Build: 4] | |
2082. The macro field &SYS_TodaysDateA has been added. It returns a string formatted like "Monday, March 19, 2010". The existing macro &SYS_TodaysDate returns a string formatted like "Mar-19-2010". [Build: 4] | |
2083. Added new user level based ini setting of "OutlookBCMAssignedToOveride". This was done to accommodate a situation where the network user machine was only part of a workgroup - not a domain. This caused a problem with the Outlook "Assigned by" field not matching the operating system credentials. [Build: 4] | |
2084. Reseller Branding is now supported. Resellers can request a QuoteWerks Reseller Branding String. When this Branding String is entered into a QuoteWerks installation a Help->Contact My Reseller menu will appear. When the user clicks on this menu, the reseller's contact information, and a personalized message will be displayed. Additionally, when users receive messages from within QuoteWerks and through the QuoteWerks Communicator system, instead of the message saying the generic "contact your local reseller to purchase", it will give specific details on the local reseller to contact including company name, contact name, phone number, email, etc. [Build: 4] | |
Version 4.5 Build 1 (released December 16, 2009) | |
2085. Updated QuoteWerks Interface! Color Schemes/Skins are now supported in QuoteWerks under the Appearance tab of the Tools->My Preferences user. Color schemes control the appearance of menus, buttons, text boxes and more. QuoteWerks can now look like Windows Vista, Office 2007, or even like a Mac application. You have to see it to believe it! It is really amazing. Each user can choose their own color scheme enabling them to express their personal preferences. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2086. Drag Drop support! You can now drag and drop line items in the quote, instead of having to cut and insert paste line items. You can drag single line items or multiple line items. [Build: 1] | |
2087. There is now a Links tab in the Quote WorkBook. Here you can link external files to the quote document. If, for example, you have created a Visio diagram or cad drawing file that is related to this quote, you can simply select these files to add them to this Links tab. You can even drag the files into the Links tab from Windows explorer. It's that easy. With all the external files related to this quote document displayed on the Links tab, finding and opening them to edit or print is so much easier now because you can just open the QuoteWerks quote, and on the Links tab, all of these files are organized for you. No more trying to remember where they are stored or going searching for them. Once you've added a file to the Links tab, you can edit the description of the file so that it is displayed as "Network Architecture Design", rather than as the file name "f:\data\VisioFiles\NetworkDesignForABCCompany.vsd".
You can also add website links to the Links tab. You can simply drag the website address from your web browser into the Links tab. You can use this to link a package tracking url into the Links tab. Using the description feature you can name the link "UPS tracking for the flat screen TV". Double-clicking on the link launches the web page. You can add as many links as you like. You could also add links to website pages that contain information about the products you are selling whether it be for your internal reference or for your customer's reference. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2088. There is now a "Create new linked file using template" feature on the Links tab, from within the quote, you can easily create a copy of any file and QuoteWerks will automatically give it a file name unique to this quote and will add it to the Links tab. So for example if you have a document template file called "JobCostAndTimeTracking.xls", simply clicking on the "New file link from template" button on the Links tab, QuoteWerks will make a copy of this file and name it, for example, "AAAQ1001_JobCostAndTimeTracking.xls". You are not limited to only one Excel file template either. You can setup as many as you want. You can have ones for different job types. You can create templates for any file type, even a text file like "OpenItemsTODOList.txt". [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2089. Improved Proposal support. Using the "Create new linked file using template" feature on the Links tab, you can also create a proposal template and save it in an RTF format. You can design it to look like your proposals. You can create complete proposal type documents containing different font types, sizes, bold, underlining, colors, bulleted lists, tables, etc. These proposal documents are unique to each quote and have their own unique file name (as described in the "File Name Generation Options" feature). These documents can contain QuoteWerks macro fields so that data from the quote is merged into these proposals resulting in the combined output of your manual customization along with the automation of data merging from the quote. Before QuoteWerks version 4.5, there was no way to merge quote data into an RTF document specific to a particular quote. [Build: 1] | |
2090. On the Print window there is a new Links tab. Here you can choose which files to include in the printed output. If you have any RTF files (like your proposals) linked, just put a checkmark next to it and it will be merged into the printed output. If you are emailing the printed output, you can choose which of the linked resources you would like to include as attachments in the email. So if you want to include that Visio drawing in the email to your customer, just put a checkmark next to it. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2091. ACT! for Web (version 2010) is now supported!. This new integration is available in the Corporate Edition of QuoteWerks. In our experience the ACT! for Web integration is over 50% faster* than the standard ACT! integration. The integration includes: a) ACT! for Web can be searched to find Contacts to pull into the quote. b) QuoteWerks will create/update an attachment to the quote under the Documents tab in ACT! for Web. c) QuoteWerks will create/update a follow up call in ACT! for Web. d) QuoteWerks will create/update a Sales Opportunity in ACT! for Web. e) The QuoteWerks DataLink feature can be used with ACT! for Web enabling you to retrieve information like Terms and shipping method from the ACT! for Web Contact into the quote. f) When printing, QuoteWerks can retrieve Contact data from ACT! for Web and include it in the printed output. g) ACT! for Web Contact data can be retrieved using the F2 Lookup macro of ~ACTForWeb_Macro(). h) There is a "Display contact in contact manager" button on the SoldTo / ShipTo tab that will open the ACT! for Web Contact in ACT! for Web for the SoldTo, ShipTo, or BillTo linked contact. i) On the select Email Address window, you can see all the ACT! for Web email addreses associated with the contact record linked to the Sold To, Bill To, and Ship To fields. j) On the select Email Address window, there is now an option to "Search ACT! for Web" for an email address. You can search your entire ACT! for Web database for an email address, searching by Company, Contact, Last Name, or Phone. *We attribute this to the fact that ACT! is not installed on the same workstation PC that QuoteWerks is installed on. All of the ACT! processing and database searching occurs on a remote server, so ACT! is not using up any of the CPU time or memory on the workstation PC leaving more resources for QuoteWerks and other applications. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2092. SugarCRM 5.5 is now supported! [Build: 1] | |
2093. You can now set the order in which various print elements print. For example, the default is for the Cover Page to print, and then the Print Layout, and then the Spec Sheets, and then the Literature. Now, you can choose the order in which each of these types of print elements are printed. This can be set under the Print tab of the Tools|Options menu. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2094. On the Misc tab of the Tools|Options menu, there are new File Generation options. Here you can control the names of files created during various operations. For example the Document Attachment file is the file that is created when you email a quote. This file may be saved in .pdf or .rtf format depending upon your settings. Before, this file name was simply the document number like AAAQ1001.pdf. Now you can completely control the name of the file to make it more meanful to you and your customer. You can do this using macros like "Document_&DH_DocNo_&DH_DocName" which would result in a file name like "Document_AAAQ1001ChicagoLocationManagedServices.pdf". [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2095. There is a new File Generation option for the PO Document Attachment file. When previewing the purchase order, you can save the purchase order preview as a file, or send it as an email. When you do, the file name generated will be based on the macros you define. For example you can set this to "PO_&DH_DocNo_&POVendorName" and the file name will look like "PO_AAAQ1001A_Tech Data.pdf" [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2096. There is a new File Generation option for the Report Document Attachment file. When previewing a Management Report, you can save the Management Report preview as a file, or send it as an email. When you do, the file name generated will be based on the macros you define. For example you can set this to "&APP_ReportName &SYS_TodaysDate" and the file name will look like "Quarterly Sales Dec-11-2009.pdf" [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2097. There is a new File Generation option for the creation of a "new linked file using template". On the Links tab of the Quote WorkBook, when choosing "New file link from template", this new file will be saved with a generated file name based on the macros you define. For example you can set this to "&DH_DocNo_%filebasename%&SYS_TodaysDate" and the file name will look like "AAAQ1001_Managed Services Implementation_Dec-11-2009.rtf" [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2098. Search Online Merchants. Added support for a new Product Data Source - DataFeedFile.com. DataFeedFile.com gathers product data from thousands of Online Stores (merchants) and creates a comprehensive and searchable database, making it possible to easily compare prices between online stores. DataFeedFile.com is a free service. Using the QuoteWerks Real-time module you can search DataFeedFile.com and have access to all this information from within QuoteWerks. In the search results you can right click on the items and choose 'View Item URL' to display the selected item on the merchants website (like amazon.com or buy.com), where you can see more details about that product on that merchant's website. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2099. There is now an Item URL field on the Advanced tab of the Edit Product window for native product databases. With this you can specify a website page to associate with this product. When searching for the product, you can right click on it and choose 'View Item URL' to have QuoteWerks open this URL in your default web browser. [Build: 1] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2100. On the Documents tab of the Tools->Options menu, the customized label names for Terms, FOC, ShipVia, Custom PO, Alternate Currency, Customer Profile, and Doc Due Date are now displayed. [Build: 1] | |
2101. There are now "Watch Tutorial Video" links on the Products->Setup Product Data Sources wizard for Ingram Micro, Tech Data, and SYNNEX. [Build: 1] | |
Version 4.0 Build 51 (released October 28, 2009) | |

2104. For MS CRM 4.0 users, there is now an option to create quotes in MS CRM that are associated with the MS CRM opportunity. These Quotes are populated with line item detail from the QuoteWerks quote. [Build: 51] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2105. For MS CRM 4.0 users, you can now link to existing MS CRM Opportunities rather than having to use a new MS CRM opportunity created by QuoteWerks. [Build: 51] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2106. For MS CRM 4.0 users, on the Create/update MS CRM Sales Opportunity window, there is now a button that will open the MS CRM Opportunity in MS CRM. [Build: 51] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2107. For MS CRM 4.0 users, on the Create/update Follow up call window, there is now a button that will open the MS CRM follow up call in MS CRM. [Build: 51] See a screenshot of this feature | |

2110. For MS CRM 4.0 users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now a "'Sold To' E-mail Addresses from MS CRM" email list. This will be a list of all email addresses associated with the MS CRM account or contact record that is linked to the Sold To fields in QuoteWerks. If linked to a MS CRM account record, all the email addresses associated with the account and all the email addresses associated with the contacts under this account will be displayed. [Build: 51] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2111. For MS CRM 4.0 users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now a "'Ship To' E-mail Addresses from MS CRM" email list. This will be a list of all email addresses associated with the MS CRM account or contact record that is linked to the Ship To fields in QuoteWerks.

2112. For MS CRM 4.0 users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now a "'Bill To' E-mail Addresses from MS CRM" email list. This will be a list of all email addresses associated with the MS CRM account or contact record that is linked to the Bill To fields in QuoteWerks. If linked to a MS CRM account record, all the email addresses associated with the account and all the email addresses associated with the contacts under this account will be displayed. [Build: 51] | |
2113. For MS CRM 4.0 users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now an option to "Search MS CRM" for an email address. You can search your entire MS CRM database for an email address, searching by Account, Name, or Phone. [Build: 51] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2114. Re-designed Select Email Address window enables you to specify the TO, CC, and BCC email addresses all at once from the same screen without having to go back to the Send Email window and choose a different recipient type. Also, this window is now resizable. [Build: 51] | |
2115. New and improved Maximizer 10.0 and 10.5 integration! The improved integration includes: a) Maximizer can now be searched to find Companies, Individuals, or Contacts to pull into the quote. Previously you could only retrieve the currently displayed Maximizer contact. b) QuoteWerks now creates/updates linked documents in Maximizer as embedded documents allowing for them to be synchronized using Maximizer's synchronization. c) The QuoteWerks DataLink feature now retrieves the information from the Maximizer record that the quote is linked to, rather than just the current record. This can be used with Maximizer enabling you to retrieve information like Terms and shipping method from the Maximizer Company, Individual, or Contact (whichever is linked to the quote) into the quote. d) When printing, QuoteWerks can retrieve Contact data from the Maximizer contact that is linked to the quote and include it in the printed output. Previously only data from the current Maximizer record could be used. e) Maximizer Contact data can be retrieved using the F2 Lookup macro of ~Max_Macro() to pull data from the Maximizer contact that is linked to the quote. Previously only data from the current Maximizer record could be used. With these changes, Maximizer versions earlier than 7.0 are no longer supported. [Build: 51] | |
2116. For GoldMine users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now a "'Sold To' E-mail Addresses from GoldMine" email list. This will be a list of all email addresses associated with the GoldMine contact record that is linked to the Sold To fields in QuoteWerks. [Build: 51] | |
2117. For GoldMine users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now a "'Ship To' E-mail Addresses from GoldMine" email list. This will be a list of all email addresses associated with the GoldMine contact record that is linked to the Ship To fields in QuoteWerks. [Build: 51] | |
2118. For GoldMine users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, there is now a "'Bill To' E-mail Addresses from GoldMine" email list. This will be a list of all email addresses associated with the GoldMine contact record that is linked to the Bill To fields in QuoteWerks. [Build: 51] | |
2119. For GoldMine users, on the newly redesigned Select Email Address window, you can now easily choose email addresses from the GoldMine contact record linked to the Sold To, Ship to, and Bill to contacts respectively. [Build: 51] | |
2120. In the layout designer when setting background colors, you can now save custom colors in the layout so they will be available to apply to other fields during your editing session, and then next time you edit the layout. [Build: 51] | |
2121. Using the "Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)" ODBC text driver, you can now link to comma delimited text files as Product Data Sources. This is very useful when you receive product and pricing information from your vendors in a comma delimited text file format. With this new functionality, you can simply link to that text file instead of having to import the data into a database. [Build: 51] | |
2122. On the Online Ordering window, the last selected Online Vendor is now memorized (per user), so the next time you open this window, it will be remembered. [Build: 51] | |
2123. On the Layout Designer window, there is now a [Close] button on the toolbar right next to the [Save & Close] button. This button is generally closer to your mouse than the window's close "X" button in the upper right corner. While this change may seem trivial, if you've ever done a lot of layout designing, you'll put a lot less miles on your mouse with this new button. [Build: 51] | |
Version 4.0 Build 50 (released September 22, 2009) | |
2124. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for IT distributor Dexxxon Digital Storage ( www.digitalstorage.com ). [Build: 50] | |
2125. New and improved PDF generator no longer requires that a printer driver be installed. Requiring a printer driver be installed involved great complexity and many issues arised relating to security (users have to have OS level permissions to install/remove printers) and low level Operating System (OS) functionality such as functionality on 32-bit vs 64-bit Operating Systems, and even would have issues relating to how many processing cores a machine's CPU had. While PDF Generating Printer Drivers are the most prominent means of creating PDF files (because it is easy for the programmer, but problematic for the end user), we have chosen to rise above all this and create a solution that does not require a printer driver thereby leaving all these problems in the past. [Build: 50] | |
2126. When choosing the option to embed fonts in the PDF file, the size of the PDF file is now smaller due to the fact that only the font characters that are used in the document are actually embedded in the PDF file. This also makes the document even more tamper-resistant since the only font characters that are embedded in the file are the characters that were used in the file. [Build: 50] | |
2127. On the Misc tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu, there is now a new "Color and underline hyperlink URLs when creating PDF file" option. The PDF generator automatically detects hyperlink link strings so that when viewed in Adobe Acrobat you can click on those links to display the link in your web browser. Until now, those links did not look any different than the rest of the text. Now, with this new option, you can choose to have these automatic hyperlinks display as blue underlined links. [Build: 50] | |
2128. When PDF files are created, you now have the option to flag them as Read-Only. You can set this option under the Misc tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu. Additionally, when setting the PDF file as Read-Only, you also have the option to prevent the recipient from copying text out of the PDF file. When receiving quotes/estimates, many customers/leads often copy out part numbers and descriptions, and then paste this copied information into a web search engine in an effort to search for better pricing. Without the ability to copy and paste so easily, the recipient would have to spend a lot of time having to re-type all this information which would be a deterrent against them price shopping. [Build: 50] | |
2129. When printing a document from the preview window, if the document being printed included PDF formatted Spec Sheets, or PDF formatted Literature Files, a Print PDF file window will now appear that enables you to simply choose which PDF files you want to print, and then it will print them using Adobe Acrobat to the printer that you just printed to from the Preview window. [Build: 50] | |
2130. Added Misc Access Rights CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields, CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_&ShipToFields, and CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_&BillToFields. These completely revoke the user's ability to modify any of the SoldTo/ShipTo/BillTo fields located on the Sold to/Ship to tab of the WorkBook. The user cannot type directly into the fields, nor can they use the Retrieve current contact, Search for Contact, Clear fields, or Copy from buttons to affect the data in the fields. Note, the SoldToPriceProfile field is not included in CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields. There is a separate CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_SoldToPriceProfile right for this field. [Build: 50] | |
2131. Added Misc Access Rights CannotManuallyModifyFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields, CannotManuallyModifyFieldValue:DH_&ShipToFields, and CannotManuallyModifyFieldValue:DH_&BillToFields. These revoke the user's ability to manually type into any of the SoldTo/ShipTo/BillTo fields on the Sold to/Ship to tab of the WorkBook. They can still retrieve contacts from a CRM using the Retrieve current contact or Search for Contact buttons, as well clear the fields using Clear fields button. They will also still be able to copy the fields from either the Ship to or Bill to sections using the Copy from button. Note, the SoldToPriceProfile field is not included in CannotManuallyModifyFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields. There is a separate CannotManuallyModifyFieldValue:DH_SoldToPriceProfile right for this field. [Build: 50] | |
2132. Added Misc Access Rights CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields, CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_&ShipToFields, and CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_&BillToFields. These rights behave just like the CannotManuallyModifyFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields rights, but they only apply once a CRM contact has been retrieved (versus manually typed in) into the quote. Note, the SoldToPriceProfile field is not included in CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_&SoldToFields. There is a separate CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_SoldToPriceProfile right for this field. [Build: 50] | |
2133. Added Misc Access Rights CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_SoldToXX, CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_ShipToXX, and CannotManuallyModifyCRMRetrievedFieldValue:DH_BillToXX. These revoke the user's ability to modify a specific SoldTo/ShipTo/BillTo field on the Sold to/Ship to tab, where XX is the field name, when the contact was retrieved from a CRM. If the contact was not retrieved from the contact manager, the user still has the ability to manually type into the field and they still have the ability to clear the field using the Clear fields button, but if the data is retrieved from a contact manager, the returned data will not be modifiable. The complete list of Access Rights are:

It is located in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\QuoteWerks" folder and is accessible directly, or through the QuoteWerks Medic Utility under the Utilities|QuoteWerks ACT! Medic Utility menu. This is very useful in debugging complicated ACT! integration issues, including detecting and repairing ACT! framework registration issues due to failed ACT! updates, and blocked (by anti-virus or firewall) tcp ports which interfere with .NET component communication. [Build: 49] | |
2139. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for Canadian IT distributor Supercom ( www.supercom.ca ). [Build: 49] | |
2140. Real-time Pricing and Availability is now available for IT distributor Printer Essentials ( www.printeressentials.com ). [Build: 49] | |
2141. On the Documents tab of the Tools|Options menu, you can set the default literature to use when creating a new Quote, new Order, and/or new Invoice. On this "Select Default Literature..." window, you can also specify if this default literature will be applied by default when converting, for example, a Quote to an Order using the "Apply this literature to documents that are converted to an Order/Invoice" checkbox. When specify which literature documents to use as a default, you can specify individual literature documents, or you can specify to select all the literature contained within a particular literature folder. When adding new literature later, any files added into the specified literature folder will automatically be included in the default literature, whereas if you choose specific literature documents, the newly added literature would need to be specifically added to the default literature selections. [Build: 49] | |
2142. On the Literature tab of the Print window, there is now a [Apply default literature for Quote/Order/Invoice] button. This can be used to apply the default literature selections by adding them to the existing literature selections. If you wish you replace the existing literature selections, click on the [Deselect All] button before applying the default literature. [Build: 49] | |
2143. When converting, for example, a Quote to an Order, on the Convert Document window, there is now an option to "Apply default literature for new Order/Invoice" which will add the default Order/Invoice literature to the existing selections currently associated with the Quote. [Build: 49] | |
2144. Added Misc Access Right CannotMaintainLiterature which prevents user from inserting a file, renaming or creating a new folder on the Literature tab of the File|Print window. [Build: 49] | |
2145. Added Misc Access Right CannotModifyLiteratureSelections. When this right is set, the user cannot change literature selections on the Literature tab of the File|Print window, specifically they cannot manually select literature, or use the [Select All] or De-Select All] buttons, or use the [Apply Default literature] button. Additionally, they cannot change the selection for "Apply default literature for new Order/Invoice" on the Convert Document window. [Build: 49] | |
2146. For Canadian users, added support for a document level GST Tax rate. This is important now that the Canadian government has started changing the GST tax rate. Before installing this update we recommend that you do a Utilities|Merge Remote Documents, then install the update, then using the medic utility, you will need to run a SQL command to update all documents prior to the date that you changed the GST Tax Rate in QuoteWerks with the older GST Tax Rate. For MS Access backend database the SQL command would look similar to: "UPDATE DocumentHeaders SET GSTTaxRate=0.05 WHERE LastModified < #01/01/2008#", and for a MSSQL backend the SQL command would like similiar to "UPDATE DocumentHeaders SET GSTTaxRate=0.05 WHERE LastModified < '01/01/2008'". After you run the SQL update query, run the Utilities|Rebuild CM Transport files to update all the DTF files with the new field and data. [Build: 49] | |
2147. For Canadian users, the GSTTaxRate field is now available as a DataLink field. [Build: 49] | |
2148. Innovative Context-Sensitive Tutorial Video links are now displayed on various QuoteWerks windows as a hyperlink labeled "Watch Tutorial Video". These links make it easy to play the appropriate tutorial video based on the window you currently have open, without having to manually go to the website, determine if a video on this topic exists, and then manually play it. The Context-Sensitive Tutorial Video links obtain their content from the Tutorial Videos page on the QuoteWerks website ( http://www.quotewerks.com/tutorial.asp ). The "Watch Tutorial Video" hyperlink is now available on the Tools|Export To QuickBooks window, the QuickBooks Interactive Link Setup window, Tools|Export To Peachtree window, the Peachtree Interactive Link Setup window, the Realtime tab of the Tools|Options menu, the Products|Setup Products Data Sources menu, the Products|Import Wizard menu, and then Utilities|Sync menu. [Build: 49] | |
2149. There is now a new format option "Bottom Align" for Report Footers in a print layouts and report layouts. This is used to force the section down to the bottom of the page (after the last detail section) even if the detail ends in the middle of the page. [Build: 49] | |
2150. On the Installation tab of the Tools|Options menu, added the options "Allocate inventory for Orders" and "Allocate inventory for Invoices". This are used to set the default values for their counterparts on the Convert Document window. [Build: 49] | |
2151. Added Misc Access Right CannotModifyInventoryAllocation which prevents the user from changing the "Allocate inventory for Orders/Invoices" checkbox on the Convert Document window. Restricting the user with this right, and setting the default for this option effectively sets this value, and then prevents the user from changing it. [Build: 49] | |
2152. Added support for default values for "GST Tax Exempt" and "No PST on Shipping" on the Regional tab of the Tools|Options menu. [Build: 49] | |

2161. For Emails sent using the Built-in SMTP email, the pdf or rtf file for the quote/order/invoice that is attached in the email will now be saved in the QuoteWerks\History\Email folder. Previously this only happened if you used GoldMine as your CRM or if you sent emails through Outlook from within QuoteWerks. The file name will have a postfix added to it to ensure unique file names. Only the quote document file itself is saved here. Copies of literature or spec sheet documents will not be saved here. [Build: 49] | |
2162. If a document is already open and you try to open it again from the Most Recently Used (MRU) on the File menu, you will hear a beep, and it will now be brought to focus. Previously you would receive a message asking you to find it in the Window list. [Build: 49] | |

Order items from a single order, or combine items from multiple QuoteWerks orders into a single D & H order. This will save you the time and hassle of calling your D & H sales rep and reading each part number, quantity, and price to him/her. Another benefit is that the order date and D & H sales order number will automatically be stored with your QuoteWerks order for reference. When placing D & H online orders electronically through QuoteWerks, there is an option that will let you place the order on hold. This will afford you an opportunity to review the order with your distributor rep and negotiate pricing without the time consuming process of reading to your sales rep all the part numbers, quantities, ship to location, etc. No more calling your distributor sales rep only to reach voice mail (understandable - sales reps can't be on the phone with more than one customer at a time) and then have to remember try again later in the day to place the order - or wait for a call back! This is truly the best of both worlds - automation with sales rep service! [Build: 47] | |
2166. Added Real-time Pricing & Availability support for D&H Canada. [Build: 47] | |

[Build: 47] | |

In SITE.INI file under the [Contact Managers] section added support for the following INI keys (With their default values specified) "SalesLogixOppStatusOpenValue=Open", "SalesLogixOppStatusClosedLostValue=Closed - Lost", "SalesLogixOppStatusClosedWonValue=Closed - Won". This is particularly useful for German or Non-English versions of SalesLogix. [Build: 47] | |

2199. Online Ordering module can place online orders with SYNNEX (USA and Canada) from within QuoteWerks (requires Real-time and Online Ordering modules). Order items from a single order, or combine items from multiple QuoteWerks orders into a single SYNNEX order. This will save you the time and hassle of calling your SYNNEX sales rep and reading each part number, quantity, and price to him/her. Another benefit is that the order date and SYNNEX sales order number will automatically be stored with your QuoteWerks order for reference. When placing SYNNEX online orders electronically through QuoteWerks, there is an option that will let you place the order on hold. This will afford you an opportunity to review the order with your distributor rep and negotiate pricing without the time consuming process of reading to your sales rep all the part numbers, quantities, ship to location, etc. No more calling your distributor sales rep only to reach voice mail (understandable - sales reps can't be on the phone with more than one customer at a time) and then have to remember try again later in the day to place the order - or wait for a call back! This is truly the best of both worlds - automation with sales rep service! Supports vendor promotion, government, and educational pricing. [Build: 45] | |
2200. When no documents are open, the File|New and File|Open menus now have shortcut keys CTRL-N and CTRL-O respectively. [Build: 45] | |

The new advanced integration includes: a) When searching for contacts, subfolders within the specified Outlook contact folder will now be included in the searching. b) QuoteWerks will create/update linked documents (as Outlook journal entries) in Outlook. c) QuoteWerks will create/update a follow up call (as an Outlook appointment) in Outlook. d) The QuoteWerks DataLink feature can be used with Outlook enabling you to retrieve information like Terms and shipping method from the Outlook contact into the quote. e) When printing, QuoteWerks can retrieve data from Outlook and include it in the printed output. [Build: 44] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2205. Product pictures are now displayed in the Configurator. [Build: 44] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2206. On the Add Item Assistant, if a picture is available for the product, it will be displayed. You can also double-click on it to open the picture using the default application associated with the picture file type. [Build: 44] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2207. On the Picture tab of the Edit Product window, there are now buttons to view the picture as [Auto Size] or [Original Size]. The Auto Size option resizes the image while respecting the aspect ratio. [Build: 44] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2208. On the Real-time Product Content window, the pictures are now resized to the size of the display area while maintaining the aspect ratio. [Build: 44] | |
2209. On Real-time Product Content window, if available, a "View product on Manufacturer Website" hyperlink is now displayed. [Build: 44] | |
2210. On the Add Item Assistant, for products with a pricing method of Volume Pricing or Customer Based Price Levels, you can now view the complete list of all the pricing levels. [Build: 44] | |
2211. On the Add Item Assistant, for products with a pricing method of Customer Based Price Levels, the pricing is now displayed instead of "TBD". [Build: 44] | |
2212. If Product Data Sources are located under the QuoteWerks installation folder, the QuoteWerks installation path will be replaced with a macro instead of the hard coded path when this path is saved in the database. This will make it easier to move the QuoteWerks installation folder without the links breaking due to invalid paths. [Build: 44] | |
2213. When inserting a file path and name into a custom Menu Item command, and the QuoteWerks installation path is contained within the file path, you will be asked if you want to use the &SYS_InstallPath macro. This will make it easier to move the QuoteWerks installation folder without the links breaking due to invalid paths. [Build: 44] | |

Version 4.0 Build 43 (released November 10, 2008) | |
2218. QuickBooks 2009 USA is now supported! [Build: 43] | |
2219. QuickBooks 2009 Canada is now supported! [Build: 43] | |
2220. Added support for Real-time Product Content through OpenICEcat. OpenICEcat is a worldwide open catalogue developed in co-operation with over 150 sponsoring manufacturers for the purposes of providing real-time product content such as detailed product descriptions, pictures, and spec sheets. There is no charge for the OpenICEcat service. The QuoteWerks Real-time module is required to access this information. You can right click on a product and choose the Real-time Content menu to display real-time detailed product descriptions, pictures, and spec sheets for the product. For products in native product databases, you have the option to update the product with this real-time content, and by doing so, the pictures and/or spec sheet files will be downloaded and saved into your QuoteWerks installation for future use. On the Document items tab, you can select the Tools|Real-time Product Content menu to update the descriptions of any selected items already in the quote with Real-time Content. [Build: 43] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2221. When attempting to open a document that is already in use by another user, you will now have the option to open the document in Read-Only mode. In a situation where a colleague has the document open, has locked their workstation, and is out of the office, other users can still open it (subject to normal rights restrictions) so they can view it. When a customer calls in and asks for information about their quote, other users need to be able to see it instead of being locked out from it. A document opened in Real-Only mode will have “(Read-Only)" displayed in the title bar of the document. [Build: 43] | |
2222. Added Misc Access right "CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_InternalNotes" and "CannotModifyFieldValue:DH_PurchasingNotes". Useful for restricting a user from modifying those fields on the Notes tab of the WorkBook. These fields could then be updated with information about the quote that other users can see, but not change. [Build: 43] | |
2223. Added Misc Access rights "CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_Description" and "CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_ManufacturerPartNumber". When these rights are set, the user cannot modify these fields on the Document Items tab. This is useful in restricting a user from modifying these values to be anything other than what is defined in the product database. Preventing a user from modifying the Manufacturer Part Number is especially useful in that if it is changed, it no longer matches the entry in the database and/or accounting software. When these rights are set, these columns on the DocumentItems tab will have a grey (disabled) background, and when the user clicks in the cell, the status bar will display "You do not have rights to modify this field. This field is read-only". [Build: 43] | |
2224. The list of Misc Access Rights has been re-ordered in order of categorical groupings and can now be sorted alphabetically. [Build: 43] | |
2225. Added the default option "Don't update Order with real-time ordered price." to the General tab of the Tech Data Online Ordering Options window. Also added the corresponding option "After order submitted, don't update Order with real-time ordered price." to the Tech Data online ordering window, so that this can be changed per order. This option is useful when you receive special discount pricing from Tech Data that Tech Data does not make available through real-time pricing & availability or ordering. When this option is set, the special pricing in the QuoteWerks order that you have manually entered will not be overwritten with the generic pricing that is returned by real-time pricing & availability in the order. [Build: 43] | |
2226. Added Misc Access right "CannotCreateContactRecord". This can be used to prevent a user from creating or cloning contacts in the QuoteWerks contact database. [Build: 43] | |
2227. Added Misc Access right "CannotUseRealtimeLicense". Useful for preventing users from using real-time features and thereby reserving a Real-time module license. [Build: 43] | |
2228. Added "Use comma (not space) to delineate part number from quantity in Quick Lookup Bar." option to the Misc tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu. This is useful when your part numbers contain spaces. [Build: 43] | |
2229. When searching for contacts under the Contacts|Lookup menu, the ability to sort columns in the results grid by clicking on the column header is now also supported for ACT!, MS CRM, Outlook, Peachtree, QuickBooks, SalesLogix, and salesforce.com users. [Build: 43] | |
2230. Added a View/Modify button for the Spec Sheet field on the Advanced tab of the Edit Product window. [Build: 43] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2231. Added View/Modify and Refresh buttons for the Picture File field on the Picture tab of the Edit Product window. [Build: 43] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2232. For API users, added new Database backend object. With this developers can read from and write to any QuoteWerks database, except the product databases. This is useful for performing database related activities like importing and exporting records, running queries to find particular data, etc. For security purposes a Developer Access Key system was implemented so that the QuoteWerks administrator will have control over what applications will have this access to the QuoteWerks databases. This security is administered under the Security tab of the Tools|Options menu. [Build: 43] | |
2233. For API users, added new DocFunctions.DocumentSave method. This method can be used to save a new document, or save changes to an existing document. It does not however perform any CRM related integrations. [Build: 43] | |
2234. For API users, added the Installation.UniqueID property. This is the counterpart to the Application.GetMacro method. The Application.GetMacro("&SYS_InstallUniqueID") will return a unique ID that indentifies this QuoteWerks installation. Then, with this, the developer loop through all the installations (using the backend dll object) to find the installation with the matching unique id. [Build: 43] | |
2235. For API users, added new Application.DoAction method. This .DoAction method enables developers to initiate menu selections. Currently supported are "CallMenuFileSave", and "CallMenuToolsOptions". [Build: 43] | |
2236. Added macro &SYS_InstallUniqueID. [Build: 43] | |
2237. Updated QuoteWerks on October 16th, 2008 to support another new real-time URL that Ingram Micro has implemented for USA and Canada. [Build: 43] | |
2238. Retrieving product data from salesforce.com product data source is now faster when only linking to one salesforce.com Price Book. [Build: 43] | |
2239. For API users, in the FindAndCopyProductsIntoMLIBuffer method, the "Begins with" operator is now suported for QuickBooks, Peachtree, and salesforce.com Data sources. [Build: 43] | |
2240. When cloning a product using the Product Lookup window right click menu, there is now a Clone Product window where you can choose to optionally clone this item's Required, Optional, and Substitute items. [Build: 43.03] | |

2242. On Documents tab of Tools|Options menu you can now set a default value for the Cust PO# (SoldToPONumber). [Build: 43.03] | |
2243. Increased the vertical size of the Bundles and Configurations windows by 30%. [Build: 43.03] | |
2244. When first running QuoteWerks, when the country is selected in the setup wizard, the default language for the Real-time Product Content will be set based on the Country selection. [Build: 43.03] | |
2245. On the Product Lookup window right click menu, the Show Item Requirements, Show Item Options, and Show Substitutions menu items will now be disabled if there are no items for each type respectively. [Build: 43.03] | |
2246. Added Misc Access rights CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_VendorPartNumber, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText01, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText02, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText03, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText04, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText05, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText06, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText07, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText08, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText09, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText10, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText11, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText12, CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText13, and CannotModifyFieldValue:DI_CustomText14. [Build: 43.05] | |
2247. When running management reports, you can now insert the fields Application->ReportFileName, Application->ReportName, and Application->ReportDescription into layouts used in reports. This is useful when a report layout is used with multiple reports. For example you might have several reports like Today's Quotes, This Week's Quotes, and Last Month's Quotes. The layout format for all of them will most likely be the same. If you wanted the layout to print the text "Last Month's Quotes" you would have to manually insert a label with that text and would have to create a different layout for each report just to have that unique label. By inserting the new Application->ReportName field into the same layout shared by these reports, whichever report is printed will display the respective report name like "Last Month's Quotes". [Build: 43.05] | |
2248. Added new &APP_CompanyMessage1 and &APP_CompanyMessage2 macros. The values for these macros can be set on the Company tab of the Tools|Options menu. These are useful for storing, for example, a daily special and/or the monthly special. What is so powerful about this feature is that these macros can be inserted into cover pages, print layouts, email signatures, etc. When you change the Company Message value, it automatically changes everywhere it is used, so you do not have to manually update your cover pages, print layouts, and email signatures with the daily special - EVERYDAY! Alternatively, you could store something like "Serving the Chicago land area for over 15 years." and when you’ve reached year 16, you will just need to make the change in one place. [Build: 43.05] | |
2249. Macros are now supported in Document Names for templates. For example, if you save a document as a template and give the template a name like "Standard System - &DH_SoldToCompany &SYS_TodaysDate", then when you use the template by selecting this template from the File|New menu, and then save the resulting document, those macro values will be replaced with the actual values. [Build: 43.05] | |
2250. Added support to increase the maximum number of open documents allowed at the same time. The default maximum number is 5. Editing the SITE.INI file and adding the INI key MaxNumOpenDocs under the [System] section you can set this maximum number to a value between 1 and 10. We recommend that you use this setting with caution as the use of this setting may cause you to run into memory issues depending upon your machine and usage (size of each document). If you run into issues, we recommend you reduce the MaxNumOpenDocs . [Build: 43.05] | |
2251. On the Utilities|User Maintenance window, pressing the DEL key will now initiate the delete for Users or Groups. [Build: 43.05] | |
Version 4.0 Build 39 (released August 25, 2008) | |
2252. Custom Menus can now be created under all of the root menus of the Quote Workbook. So custom menus can be created under the File/Edit/View, etc root menus. These custom menu items can be used to launch external programs, open documents, or open a website URL. Macro field can be included in the command line used to launch these external programs effectively enabling you to pass information about the current line item such as &DI_ManufacturerPartNumber to the external application when the custom menu item is clicked on. You can also specify whether or not to start the application in normal window or maximized window size and can choose to run this command only once, or once per each line item that is currently selected. This new Menu Customization functionality is available under the Tools|Customize Menus menu. It can also be accessed from the User Preferences window and also by right clicking on a User in the User Maintenance window and selecting Customize Menus. Both users and administrators can create menu items and then specifically choose which users are allowed to have access to that menu item. This enables users to create their own menu items and to share those menu items with other users. Once a menu item has been created and made available to a user, the User can choose to include this menu item in their menus and choose the location of this menu item within the assigned root menu. Misc Access right of "CannotCreateMenuItems" is available to prevent specific users from being able to create menu items. The Misc Access right "CannotModifyMenus" can be assigned to specific users to prevent them from being able to customize their menus at all. [Build: 39] | |
2253. Custom Menus can now be created for the Product Lookup Context Menu. This enables you to right click on a product in the Product Lookup window and launch an external application or open a website based on this item. Macro fields &PL_VendorPartNumber, &PL_ManufacturerPartNumber, &PL_UnitCost, &PL_&SelectedPDS, &PL_RecID, &PL_CustomText01, &PL_CustomText02, &PL_CustomText03, &PL_CustomText04, &PL_CustomText05, &PL_CustomText06, &PL_CustomText07, &PL_CustomText08, &PL_CustomText09, &PL_CustomText10, &PL_CustomText11, &PL_CustomText12, &PL_CustomText13, and &PL_CustomText14 are specifically supported for this context menu. This enables an external application to be launched with the selected part number being passed to the application as a command line parameter so that the 3rd party app could perform an action based on that part number. You can also use this functionality to view product details on a website by passing the product part number as a macro in the url. Menu items created for this Product Lookup Context Menu will be displayed when any product data source product is right clicked on (subject to view rights assigned when the Menu Item is defined). Menu Items can also be created that are specific to individual product data sources. So for example a custom Menu Item will only be displayed when you right click on a product. For example, if you right click on a product in the Tech Data Product Data Source it could run a command like "http://www.techdata.com/tools/ProductDetail/ProductDetail.aspx?P=&PL_VendorPartNumber". This would open the Tech Data website and display the Specifications and Details for the product that you have selected in QuoteWerks. Another example would be the web URL of "http://www.google.com/products?q=&PL_ManufacturerPartNumber&price1=&price2=&PL_UnitCost&lnk=prsugg". This would perform a froogle search that will search the web to see if the selected item can be purchased for a cost lower than what you have in the database! [Build: 39] | |

[Build: 39] | |
2259. The User Maintenance window now has a right click menus for the existing buttons, and also add new menu items "Customize Menus..." and "Customize Document Items columns..." enabling the administrator to more quickly access those settings for the selected user. [Build: 39] | |

With this option, you can use the QuoteWerks built-in SMTP email to send emails using SMTP email servers (such as Google's GMAIL and AT&T mail) that require an encrypted connection. [Build: 39] | |
2261. The Paste Special Wizard now accepts data copied from HTML tables. This is useful when copying information from tables listed on web pages or Dell HTML quotes. [Build: 39] | |
2262. Added macros &SYS_InstallPath, &SYS_ExecPath, &SYS_DataPath, &SYS_AppVersion, &SYS_AppBuildNumber, &SYS_AppEdition, and &SYS_BackendDBType. [Build: 39] | |
2263. When cloning a Product Data Source, the PDS Access Rights are now cloned. [Build: 39] | |

2266. In the Sync Wizard, when selecting to start a new session, the location of the master install last selected when starting a new session will be set as the default. [Build: 39] | |
2267. When the API method FindAndCopyProductsIntoMLIBuffer was called and external product data sources like QuickBooks, Peachtree where not running, a message box would be displayed to that effect. This would interrupt the program execution of the external API application. Now, no message boxes are displayed if there is a problem with QuickBooks or Peachtree not running; essentially normal usage. However, if there is a configuration or setup issue, message boxes may still be displayed. In the case where QuickBooks or Peachtree is not running the error of -40 will be returned. [Build: 39] | |
2268. The API method FindAndCopyProductsIntoMLIBuffer will now return error -11 if the Operator being passed is not supported by the product data source. For example, QuickBooks, Peachtree, and salesforce.com product data sources only support the "Equal to" operator. [Build: 39] | |
2269. When F2 Lookup display for memo field type columns on the Document Items tab is displayed, the values can now be multi-line. Also when zooming on the Description, CustomMemo01, or CustomMemo02 Document Item cell, if use lookup from the Zoom window, these values can now also be multi-line. [Build: 39] | |
2270. You can now search by Account Number in the QuoteWerks contact database search window. The Account Number column is also displayed in the results grid. If QuoteWerks was installed prior to this build, you will need to delete the [ContactSearchWindowGridSettings] section from the user ini file (by selecting the [Edit User INI] button from the Installation tab of the Tools|Options menu) for the new Account Number column to appear. [Build: 39.01] | |
2271. You can now drag files, web pages, and text into the Edit Menu Item Command field. [Build: 39.01] | |
2272. Added macro field &PL_Manufacturer. [Build: 39.01] | |

2280. Added "CannotExportContacts" Misc Access right. This can be used to prevent a user from exporting contacts out of the QuoteWerks contact database to a text file which is accessed through the [Export Contacts] button under the Contacts|Setup Contact Managers menu. This is a useful security feature that would prevent a user from exporting your entire customer list. [Build: 39.07] | |

2302. In Tools|Export to Clipboard and Tools|Export to Excel the Columns that are selected (including their order) are now saved (per user) so that the next time you do the export, your last selections are automatically applied. [Build: 36] | |
2303. Added new print layout DocumentItems macro field DocumentItems->&LineItemCount. This can be used to display the total number of line items in the quote in any location of the print layout such as a header or footer section. [Build: 36] | |
2304. Added support for "&DH_DocName", and all the &APP and &SYS macros in the QuickBooks Export Memo field. [Build: 36] | |
2305. On the Defaults subtab of the Internet tab under the Tools|My Preferences menu, the default cc and bcc email address now support macro fields. [Build: 36] | |
2306. Added macro fields %CommonFiles% and %MyDocuments% that can now be used in the menuopts.add file. This enables you to create custom menus under the Tools menu that performs actions such as opening a document or running an external program. With these new macros, you do not have to hard code the path to these folders, so if they are different on different machines, these locations will automatically be correctly identified. For example you can start an external program and have it open a document in your My Documents folder with a command like "%program files%\CustomApp\apiapp.exe %MyDocuments%\readme.txt". [Build: 36] | |
2307. Added command line option "/dontstartaddons" command line option. This option is useful when you are automating QuoteWerks to for example run a product import through the command line, and a 3rd party addon is loading and stopping the process because it is asking for you to supply login credentials. This command line option requires the /exit command line option, so when the process has finished, QuoteWerks will shutdown. Requiring QuoteWerks to shutdown after it has performed the automated action, when the /dontstartaddons command is used, will prevent the situation where QuoteWerks is running and the QuoteWerks user is logged in and using QuoteWerks, but their addon is not running. [Build: 36] | |
2308. The Product Import Wizard can now auto-detect the "|" (pipe character) as a field delimiter. [Build: 36.03] | |
2309. You can now export the list of users to the Windows Clipboard from the Utilities|User Maintenance menu. [Build: 36.03] | |
2310. On the Create GoldMine forecasted sale window, Create GoldMine call window, and Create GoldMine Completed sale window, the GoldMine activity codes are now displayed in a drop down combo (so you do not have to manually re-create this list in a QuoteWerks F2 Lookup list) [Build: 36.03] | |
2311. On the Create GoldMine Completed sale window, the GoldMine Result codes are now displayed in a drop down combo (so you do not have to manually re-create this list in a QuoteWerks F2 Lookup list) [Build: 36.03] | |
2312. Added SoldToCompany column to the Online Orders window. Useful as a reference when deciding which items to place on the Tech Data order. [Build: 36.05] | |
2313. On the Online Orders window you can now re-arrange the columns. The re-arrangements are not saved. [Build: 36.05] | |
2314. When selecting the picture file for a product on the Edit Product window, if sub folders have been created under the QuoteWerks\Images folder and an image file from one of those subfolders is selected, only the relative path will be stored like "subfolder\speaker.jpg". This is particularly useful when product databases are used in different installations that have different paths. [Build: 36.05] | |
2315. When selecting the Spec Sheet file for a product on the Edit Product window, if sub folders have been created under the QuoteWerks\SPECS folder and a spec sheet file from one of those subfolders is selected, only the relative path will be stored like "subfolder\specs.rtf". This is particularly useful when product databases are used in different installations that have different paths. [Build: 36.05] | |
2316. After selecting a file for the Product Import wizard, the next time during that QuoteWerks session you select an import file, it will default to the last folder that an import file was selected from. [Build: 36.05] | |
2317. After selecting a file for the Paste Special, the next time during that QuoteWerks session you select a file for the Paste Special, the default folder will be the last folder you selected the last file from. [Build: 36.05] | |
Version 4.0 Build 35 (released April 9, 2008) | |
2318. MS Dynamics CRM 4.0 is now supported! [Build: 35] | |
2319. For MS CRM users that have changed their statuscode or opportunityratingcode values to anything other than the default there are now INI settings in the site.ini that can be set to accommodate these non-default codes. Under the [Contact Managers] section of the site.ini file the following keys can be set: MSCRMOppStatusCodeOpen, MSCRMOppStatusCodeWon, MSCRMOppStatusCodeCanceled, MSCRMOppStatusCodeOutSold, MSCRMOppRatingCodeHot, MSCRMOppRatingCodeWarm, and MSCRMOppRatingCodeCold. [Build: 35] | |
2320. The QuoteWerks contact lookup search window has been redesigned. You can now perform searches by company name, last name, phone number, or e-mail address. You can run "Equal to", "Not Equal to", "Begins with", "Ends with", "Contains", and "Does not Contain" searches. The matching results will automatically populate as you type. Columns can be re-ordered, resized, and sorted (by clicking on column header). Clicking the column header again will reverse sort the column. Column orders, sizes, and last sort column are remembered per each user. [Build: 35] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2321. Added fields AccountRep, LeadSource1, LeadSource2, CustomText01, CustomText02, CustomText03, CustomText04, CustomText05, CustomText06, CustomText07, CustomText08, CustomText09, CustomNumber01, CustomNumber02, CustomDate01, CustomDate02 fields to the QuoteWerks contact database. Also added DataLink support for all these fields. [Build: 35] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2322. All the labels on the QuoteWerks Edit Contact window can now be customized. Any label customizations here will also be reflected as column headings when viewing these columns in the QuoteWerks contact lookup window. [Build: 35] | |
2323. F2Lookup support has been added for the fields AccountRep, LeadSource1, LeadSource2, Terms, and TaxRate. [Build: 35] | |
2324. All the QuoteWerks contact database fields are available as columns on the QuoteWerks Contact Lookup window. You can re-arrange and resize these columns. The settings will be remembered for each user. [Build: 35] | |
2325. On the Sold To/Ship To tab, added "Copy" buttons to the Sold To, Ship To, and Bill To fields. These are very useful if you have manually typed the customer information into any one of the Sold To, Ship To, or Bill To fields and want to copy that information into any other area. [Build: 35] See a screenshot of this feature | |
2326. In a multiple monitor environment, status windows are now displayed on the same monitor as the main QuoteWerks window instead of always displaying on the primary monitor. [Build: 35] | |
2327. On the Price Comparison window (Tools|Compare Prices between Vendors menu), after retrieving real-time information, the quantity in stock is now displayed next to the price for both your preferred warehouse availability and the total availability. [Build: 35] | |
2328. Added [Select All] and [Deselect All] buttons to the Price Comparison window (Tools|Compare Prices between Vendors menu). [Build: 35] | |
2329. Re-designed the File|Insert Document window to add the ability to search by DocName, DocNo, and SoldToCompany. You can run "Equal to", "Not Equal to", "Begins with", "Ends with", "Contains", and "Does not Contain" searches. SalesRep and DocDate columns will be displayed in addition to the search fields. Columns can be re-ordered, resized, and sorted (by clicking on column header). Clicking the column header again will reverse sort the column. Column orders, sizes, and last sort column are remembered per each user. [Build: 35] See a screenshot of this feature | |
Version 4.0 Build 33 (released March 3, 2008) | |
2330. New Online Ordering module (requires real-time module) can place online orders with Tech Data (USA) from within QuoteWerks. Order items from a single order, or combine items from multiple QuoteWerks orders into a single Tech Data order. This will save you the time and hassle of calling your Tech Data sales rep and reading each part number, quantity, and price to him/her. Another benefit is that the order date and Tech Data sales order number will automatically be stored with your QuoteWerks order for reference. When placing Tech Data online orders electronically through QuoteWerks, there is an option that will let you flag the order for manual review and release by a sales rep. This will afford you an opportunity to review the order with your distributor rep and negotiate pricing without the time consuming process of reading to your sales rep all the part numbers, quantities, ship to location, etc. You can also place a note in the order to ask the sales rep to call you to confirm pricing. No more calling your distributor sales rep only to reach voice mail (understandable - sales reps can't be on the phone with more than one customer at a time) and then have to remember try again later in the day to place the order - or wait for a call back! This is truly the best of both worlds - automation with sales rep service! Supports government and educational pricing, Tech Data MyOrderTracker, and assists Tech Data MyOpportunityTracker by optionally supplying end user details with the order. [Build: 33] | |
2331. QuickBooks 2008 (USA only) is now supported! [Build: 33] | |
2332. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is now supported! [Build: 33] | |
2333. GoldMine 7.5 is now supported! [Build: 33] | |
2334. Maximizer 10 is now supported! [Build: 33] | |
2335. SalesLogix 7.2 is now supported! [Build: 33] | |
2336. Ingram Micro United Kingdom real-time Pricing & Availability is now supported! [Build: 33] | |
2337. When closing certain windows like the main QuoteWerks window, the Product Lookup window, the Open Document window, the View Log window, Configuration Setup, and Edit Item window the position and size of the window is saved for the next time that you open that window. In situations where a user runs QuoteWerks from more than one machine like if QuoteWerks is run from a network workstation (that has dual monitors) and then also is run through terminal services (which does not have dual monitors), when QuoteWerks is run through Terminal Services, if one of those windows was last open on the second monitor, the window would display outside of your viewable area (so you could not see it). Now all window memorized position data is stored per user per machine name which supports differing monitor configurations. [Build: 33] | |
2338. Added CustomNumber03, CustomNumber04, and CustomNumber05 fields to the Edit Product window. These fields also display in the Product Lookup and Document Items grids. [Build: 33] | |
2339. Added CustomText11, CustomText12, CustomText13, and CustomText14 fields to the Edit Product window. These fields also display in the Product Lookup and Document Items grids. [Build: 33] | |
2340. On the Personal tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu, added fields Address1, Address2, Address3, City, State, PostalCode, Country, PhoneExt and FaxExt. This is useful for Terminal Server or Citrix type of environments where sales reps from various geographical locations connect to the server and all need to display their own address information on print layouts rather than the central company address information. These fields are available in the layout designer under the 'Application' table as LoggedInUserAddress1, LoggedInUserAddress2, LoggedInUserAddress3, LoggedInUserCity, LoggedInUserState, LoggedInUserPostalCode, LoggedInUserCountry, &LoggedInUserAddress, &LoggedInUserFullAddress, LoggedInUserPhoneExt and LoggedInUserFaxExt. Additionally, these same fields are available as cover page/literature document macros as &APP_LoggedInUserAddress1, &APP_LoggedInUserAddress2, &APP_LoggedInUserAddress3, &APP_LoggedInUserCity, &APP_LoggedInUserState, &APP_LoggedInUserPostalCode, &APP_LoggedInUserCountry, &APP_&LoggedInUserAddress, &APP_&LoggedInUserFullAddress, &APP_LoggedInUserPhoneExt, and &APP_LoggedInUserFaxExt. [Build: 33] | |
2341. In conjunction with the new LoggedInUserXXXX fields, added the fields &SalesRepAddress1, &SalesRepAddress2, &SalesRepAddress3, &SalesRepUserCity, &SalesRepUserState, &SalesRepUserPostalCode, &SalesRepUserCountry, &SalesRepAddress, &SalesRepFullAddress, &SalesRepUserPhoneExt and &SalesRepUserFaxExt in the layout designer under the 'DocumentHeaders' table. Additionally, these same fields are available as cover page/literature document macros as &DH_&SalesRepAddress1, &DH_&SalesRepAddress2, &DH_&SalesRepAddress3, &DH_&SalesRepCity, &DH_&SalesRepState, &DH_&SalesRepPostalCode, &DH_&SalesRepCountry, &DH_&SalesRepAddress, &DH_&SalesRepFullAddress, &DH_&SalesRepPhoneExt, and &DH_&SalesRepFaxExt. [Build: 33] | |
2342. Added macro field &DH_&SalesRepFullName. [Build: 33] | |
2343. Added Misc Access right "CannotManuallyModifyFixedPriceInAddItemAssistant". When an item is selected from the product database and the item pricing method is set to "Fixed" and this right is set, the user will not be able to change the Unit Price in the Add Item Assistant.
-New: Added Misc Access right [Build: 33] | |
2344. "CannotManuallyModifyPriceModifierInAddItemAssistant". When an item is selected from the product database and the item pricing method is set to a price modifier based method and this right is set, the user will not be able to change the Price Modifier in the Add Item Assistant. [Build: 33] | |
2345. Added support for CustomMemo01 and CustomMemo02 fields when linking to an external product data source. [Build: 33] | |
2346. When running the Configurator, full description field value will now be displayed in a tool-tip. [Build: 33] | |
2347. When inserting fields into the layout designer, the last field that you just inserted will now be selected by default which will help when selecting several fields in a row by defaulting the selection to a selection close to the next field that you may be inserting. [Build: 33] | |
2348. For QuickBooks users, there is now an option to specify 'Ready for Export' criteria. With this new feature, only documents that match your criteria will be displayed in the Non-Exported documents tab on the QuickBooks batch export window. The DocType can now be specified in addition to the DocStatus being 'Equal to' or 'Not Equal to' one or more values. This is useful to set, for example, DocStatus 'Not Equal to' "Lost,Void,Exported" so that any documents that have been Lost, Voided, or Exported will not be displayed. The drop-down list will display all DocStatus F2 Lookup values and all unique values from the database. [Build: 33] | |
2349. For QuoteWerks built-in contact database users, on the Lookup QuoteWerks contact window accessed by the Contacts|Lookup menu added a [Clone] button to clone existing contacts. [Build: 33] | |
2350. On the File|Save and File|Save As windows you can now manually modify the Project No or choose to have the next available Project No assigned. [Build: 33] | |
2351. On the Advanced section of the File|Open window, there is now a drop down list for the Project Number field that displays a list of all project numbers referenced in any documents that the currently logged in user has access to. [Build: 33] | |
2352. Added Misc Access right. You may want to restrict a user from being able to delete a contact record in the QuoteWerks contact database. Use the Misc Access right "CannotDeleteContactRecord". [Build: 33] | |
2353. Added Misc access right "CannotManuallyModifyProjectNo" [Build: 33] | |
2354. Added cover page/literature document macros &DH_&TotalCost and &DH_&TotalList. [Build: 33] | |

2356. Added macro "&SYS_45DaysAgoForSQL". [Build: 33] | |
2357. The QuoteWerks webconnector now supports a new method of "opendocument", and you can pass either the DocNo or DocName to initiate the opening of a document. This enables you to open a QuoteWerks document from a hyperlink on a webpage. [Build: 33] | |
2358. For QuickBooks users, on the Product Lookup window, you can now enter a % symbol before the value in the manufacturer part number field (QuickBooks Item Name) to return any products that end with the value you are searching for. If you also check the "Begins with" checkbox, it will return any products that contain the value you are searching for. You can also just use the % symbol before and/or after to value to accommodate all combinations ("%door", "door%", "%door%") without having to check the "Begins with" checkbox. [Build: 33] | |
2359. For Peachtree users, on the Product Lookup window, you can now enter a % symbol before the value in the manufacturer part number field (Peachtree Item ID) to return any products that end with the value you are searching for. If you also check the "Begins with" checkbox, it will return any products that contain the value you are searching for. You can also just use the % symbol before and/or after to value to accommodate all combinations ("%door", "door%","%door%") without having to check the "Begins with" checkbox. [Build: 33] | |
2360. For salesforce.com users, on the Product Lookup window, you can now enter a % symbol before the value in the manufacturer part number field (salesforce.com Product Code) to return any products that end with the value you are searching for. If you also check the "Begins with" checkbox, it will return any products that contain the value you are searching for. You can also just use the % symbol before and/or after to value to accommodate all combinations ("%door", "door%","%door%") without having to check the "Begins with" checkbox. [Build: 33] | |
2361. On the Product Lookup window, when a salesforce.com Product Data Source is selected and the grid has focus, pressing the F5 key will force QuoteWerks to re-retrieve the list of products from salesforce.com (rather than use the cached values normally used for increased performance). [Build: 33] | |
2362. Added new Utilities|API Info menu to the Medic Utility. This will verify that the qw4.dll is registered and functioning, and will display the location, version and date/time of the file. [Build: 33] | |
2363. On the QuickBooks and Peachtree batch export window, pressing the F5 key will refresh the list of documents displayed. [Build: 33] | |
2364. For Peachtree users, when exporting an Invoice to Peachtree, if the DocDueDate field on the QuoteWerks Sale Info tab was empty, a Due Date will be calculated using the Terms value with the reference date being the Document Date or Date Exported depending upon the setup option you have selected in the Peachtree link setup. [Build: 33] | |
2365. On the Compare Assistant window, when searching for a part number, any part numbers that begin with the entered value will be displayed rather than only exact matches. [Build: 33] | |
2366. For Peachtree users, "Cost of Sales" type accounts are now listed in the Default GL Purchase Account drop down on the Items subtab of the Mappings tab under the Tools|Options menu. [Build: 33] | |
2367. Add "Our Company Location" settings on the Company tab under the Tools|Options menu (company tab was added for this feature). Here you can specify the physical location of your company which can then be used in print layouts, cover pages. The cover pages macros for this information are: &APP_OurLocationCompany, &APP_OurLocationContact, &APP_OurLocationAddress1, &APP_OurLocationAddress2, &APP_OurLocationAddress3, &APP_OurLocationCity, &APP_OurLocationState, APP_OurLocationPostalCode, &APP_OurLocationCountry, &APP_OurLocationPhoneNumber, &APP_OurLocationPhoneExt, &APP_OurLocationFaxNumber, &APP_OurLocationFaxExt, &APP_OurLocationEmail, &APP_&OurLocationAddress, &APP_&OurLocationFullAddress. The similiarly named fields are also available in the print layout designer through the Insert|Data Field menu, under the "Application" table. [Build: 33] | |
2368. On the Documents tab of the Tools|Options menu, the default Doc Due Date can now be cleared (set to blank). When this is done, the default Doc Due Date will be blank. [Build: 33] | |

2370. In the Product Lookup window, the product database resizing pane can now be resized 20% wider. [Build: 33] | |
2371. Added new 'DLL' object to the QuoteWerks API Backend qw4.dll. Through this QuoteWerksBackend.DLL interface you can retrieve the properties: VersionMajor, VersionMinor, VersionRevision, File. These are useful in determining which version of the backend object is currently installed. This feature was added in revision 10 of version 4.0. [Build: 33] | |
2372. For API users, QuoteWerksBackend.Installations collection now includes all the installations that are available through the local machine. The collection lists the installations in the priority assigned through the QuoteWerks Launcher app. The collection only lists installations that are currently valid and accessible which is useful in situations where QuoteWerks is installed on the network and on the local laptop. Typically in that environment, the QuoteWerks Launcher would be used to set the Network installation as the first installation to try and use and if it is not available, then use the laptop installation. When the laptop is disconnected from the network, the Laptop installation will be the first installation listed in the collection. For existing code, this change mostly changes which installation is located in the (1) position of the installations collection. Before build 33 it was the last installation installed. After build 33 it is whichever installation has been set as the top priority. [Build: 33] | |
2373. Added new Peachtree option "Use company name instead of contact name for Ship To Name" on the Customers subtab of the Mappings tab on the Peachtree Interactive Link Setup. When this option is selected, the company name instead of the contact name will be used when creating the ship to record in the Peachtree customer record and also in the Peachtree Invoice, Sales Order, and/or Purchase Orders. [Build: 33.02] | |
Version 4.0 Build 31 (released September 13, 2007) | |
2374. Tremendously improved Peachtree link. This new Peachtree link uses the interactive Peachtree API instead of the older manual export and import methods which brings many new features and benefits. You can now export batches of invoices/sales orders and/or purchase orders to Peachtree. If a customer does not exist in Peachtree, QuoteWerks can now create customers in Peachtree for you. Customer information is also updated automatically. If an Inventory Item does not exist in Peachtree, QuoteWerks can now create items in Peachtree for you. Item prices in Peachtree are also updated automatically. Grouped bundles can now be exported as a single line item in Peachtree. When purchase orders are created in Peachtree, there is now an option to lookup the vendor full name in Peachtree to obtain the Vendor ID for the Peachtree Vendor. Using this option, you no longer need to maintain a manual translation between vendor names and Peachtree Vendor ID's. You can now choose which vendors you want to create purchase orders for instead of just all of them. The Peachtree link now has Purchase Order creation options of Never, Always, and Prompt. The invoice and SO due date is now based on the DocDueDate field on the Sale Info tab instead of just 30 days from the document date. The PO Good Through date passed to Peachtree is now 30 days from the export date. There are now 5 sales rep id mapping options and the manual mapping now displays the Peachtree Sales Rep ID and Peachtree Sales Rep full name on the mapping window making it much easier to setup. When exporting, if a manual sales rep id mapping is not found, you will be prompted to select the appropriate rep. Purchase Orders can now be exported separately from the corresponding Invoice/Sales Order. There is now an option for 'Part Numbers are required for all items exported to Peachtree'. QuoteWerks can link directly to the Peachtree product list (without the need to import the data) giving you access to real-time availability, part numbers, description, and pricing. Peachtree can now be used as a source of customer/contact information just like the integration to the contact management software! DataLink support has been added for Peachtree including ability to pull from ShipVia, BillToTaxCode, and Custom fields into the quote. Works with Peachtree 2006, 2007, and 2008. [Build: 31] | |
2375. Improved Paste Special Wizard now supports the ability to copy data from outside of QuoteWerks and paste it into QuoteWerks as line items in the quote. Static information such as descriptions, prices, etc can be pasted in and/or a part number can be used to retrieve all the product details from a product database. This feature can be useful for integrating with external software outputs like the Cisco and HP configurators. The Cisco configurator outputs a ManufacturerPartNumber, Description, and Quantity. QuoteWerks can now import this data as line items and automatically retrieve the price for these items from a QuoteWerks product database. The HP configurator outputs a ManufacturerPartNumber only. QuoteWerks can now import this data as line items and automatically retrieve the Description, and Price for these items from a QuoteWerks product database. All settings can be saved to templates and with the One-Step option, a paste special can be run with a single click. Pre-defined sources like the "Tech Data Shopping Cart File" and "Tech Data Search Result File" already contain all the paste special template details like field mappings, file names, etc enabling you to get up and running fast. [Build: 31] | |
2376. Added Misc Access right. You may want to restrict a user from being able to delete a Paste Special Template. Use the Misc Access right "CannotDeletePasteSpecialTemplate". [Build: 31] | |
2377. Added Misc Access right. A user may have the rights to save the changes to an existing Paste Special Template, but you may not want them to be able to create a new Paste Special Template. Use the Misc Access right "CannotCreatePasteSpecialTemplate" which would prohibit them from saving to a new .qii Paste Special Template file. [Build: 31] | |
2378. Added Misc Access right. You want a user to be able to load an existing Paste Special Template, make changes and run the changes, BUT NOT save the changes into that template. Use the Misc Access right "CannotSavePasteSpecialTemplateChanges". [Build: 31] | |
2379. There is now an toolbar button for the Peachtree link. [Build: 31] | |
2380. There is now a User Full Name setting on the Personal tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu. While we recommend that you setup QuoteWerks User Login names to be the reps name like "John Lewe", in the event you setup the QuoteWerks User Login name to be more like "JLEWE", this Full Name setting enables you to set it to a full name like "John C. Lewe IV" and then display this Full Name on print layouts, reports, and cover pages. [Build: 31] | |
2381. Added 4 more CustomText fields on the Custom tab of the Quote WorkBook. Added fields CustomText17, CustomText18, CustomText19, and CustomText20. [Build: 31] | |
2382. The manual Sales Rep ID mapping setup in the interactive QuickBooks link now displays the QuickBooks Sales Rep Initials and QuickBooks Sales Rep full name on the mapping window making it much easier to setup. [Build: 31] | |
2383. In the QuickBooks link, when prompted to have QuoteWerks create an item in QuickBooks for you, you can now modify the description for the new QuickBooks item definition to be different than the description of the item in the current document. [Build: 31] | |
2384. Added [Save] button on Finish step of Import Wizard and Sync Wizard so that the settings can be saved without having to run the import or sync process. [Build: 31] | |
2385. Added new option "When choosing Optional item(s), default to keeping them Optional." under the Misc tab of the Tools|My Preferences menu. This sets the default for the "Display as optional item(s) on document" checkbox on the Add Item Assistant window and the "When adding to quote, flag as Optional item." checkbox on the Optional Items window. [Build: 31] | |
2386. The QuoteWerks WebConnector now supports the additional parameters of &QuoteWerksUserName= and &QuoteWerksUserPassword=. If these new parameters are added to the URL string passed to the WebConnector, and QuoteWerks is not already running, the QuoteWerks WebConnector login window will be bypassed using the supplied credentials. Note, you can use the DECRYPT: feature of the QuoteWerks login password so that the actual password does not have to be included in the URL as plain text that anyone can see. [Build: 31] | |
2387. Added new salesforce.com option "Enable 'SandBox' mode testing environment". This option enables QuoteWerks to to take advantage of the salesforce.com Sandbox which enables you to create a fully replicated, scalable on-demand customer replica environment for customization, integration, testing, development and training purposes. [Build: 31] | |
2388. When using alternate currencies, in the "Totals for All items" frame, a button will appear that when pressed will display the totals in the alternate currency instead of the base currency. [Build: 31] | |
2389. When saving a document as a template, if the DocDate is cleared, when the template is used, the DocDate will be set to today's date. [Build: 31] | |
2390. When saving a document as a template, if the DocDueDate is cleared, when the template is used, the DocDueDate will be set to today's date (or using the DocDueDate default feature it can be set to x days from today). [Build: 31] | |

This is particularly useful if you need to make sure that QuoteWerks is not running before you run some other process like a file backup or behind the scenes manipulation of QuoteWerks data. This command line can be used like "qw4.exe /shutdown". If QuoteWerks is not running, then it will start briefly and then shutdown. If it is running, then it will be shutdown. It is important to note that this command line parameter is designed to make sure QuoteWerks stops running. As such, if there are any open documents in the running instance of QuoteWerks, they will not be saved. [Build: 24] | |

2452. You can now import products while other users are logged into QuoteWerks. If you are using the Standard or Professional Edition, the compacting of the database would be skipped and will need to be run manually at a time when no other users are in QuoteWerks. [Build: 23] | |
2453. When selecting a document template to use, on the New Document window (File | New menu), there is now a "Refresh item prices" checkbox. As the template is used to generate the new document, the item prices will be updated with the current pricing. [Build: 23] | |

To use an encrypted password the syntax is /p:"DECRYPT:A7DGKE8Y". The encrypted equivalent of your password is displayed on the Edit User window where you enter your password. [Build: 23] | |
2456. There is now a "/notify:" command line option that can be used to send an e-mail notification upon the successful or unsuccessful completion of a command line process. This command line option has two arguments. First is the QuoteWerks user that you want to notify, and second is the NotifyCondition that lets you specify if you want to receive notification upon successful completion only, unsuccessful completion only, or either successful or unsuccessful completion. This command line option is available for the following command line processes: /a:1 ("Merge Remote Documents"), /a:2 ("Tech Data re-index"), /a:3,1 ("SYNNEX FTP and import"), /a:3,2 ("SYNNEX import file"), /import: ("Import products into native product database"), /sync: ("Synchronize using profile"), /report: ("Report"). An example command line would be: /notify:"John Lewe",1. Also, the macro &APP_LoggedInUserName can now be used in the user name parameter like /notify:"&APP_LoggedInUserName",1. Also, if no user name parameter is specified, then currently logged in user will be used. [Build: 23] | |
2457. Added new "Auto-create product folders" option in the Product Import Wizard.

2492. The maximum number of line item supported in a quote has been increased to 1500 for Corporate Edition users that have rehosted to SQL. For Standard and Professional Edition users and Corporate Edition users that have not rehosted to SQL, the maximum number of line items is 600. Please note that while the number of supported line items has increased, more line items equates to more data that will be saved thereby increasing the amount of time it takes to open and save these larger documents. Additionally, opening and saving 1500 line item quotes may require additional RAM on the PC. Saving a 1500 line item quote with 350 characters of description in each line item takes around 30 seconds to save on a Pentium 4 (1.6 MHz) machine running Windows 2000 with 1.2 GB RAM saving to a Microsoft SQL Server 7 database.

2498. Misc Access right. You may want to restrict a user so that if the user selects to run the One-Step sync they can only run a pre-specified One-Step synchronization profile. In other words, the user is not able to select a different one step sync profile than the default one the adminstrator has specified. To set this restriction, Use the security right "CannotSetOneStepSyncProfile". [Build: 20] | |
2499. Misc Access right. You may want to restrict the user from making any changes to synchronization settings before running them. Using the security right "CannotModifySyncSession" will disable the Advanced Sync options of "Start new session" or "start session using profile".

If you have hidden the Utilities|Sync menu from this user, then this user would have no access to run a synchronization. [Build: 20] | |
2500. Misc Access right. You want a user to be able to load an existing sync profile, make changes and run the changes, BUT NOT save the changes into the profile. Use the security right "CannotSaveSyncProfileChanges". [Build: 20] | |
2501. Misc Access right. The user may have access to modifying a sync session, and possibly the rights to save the changes to the existing sync profile, but you do not want them to be able to create a new sync profile file. Use the security right "CannotCreateSyncProfile" which would prohibit them from saving to a new .qsp Sync Profile file. [Build: 20] | |
2502. Misc Access right. You may want to restrict a user from being able to delete a sync profile. Use the security right "CannotDeleteSyncProfile". [Build: 20] | |

2507. For Outlook users, added option "Address type(s) to use" on the Contacts|Setup Contact Manager window. Outlook stores both business and home addresses. When searching the Outlook database for contacts to use, QuoteWerks can return the Business address, Home address, or both.
