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] | |

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.".

[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] | |

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] | |

[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] | |

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.
