New Features - Build 4 | ||
1. ConnectWise 2016.1 is now supported! | ||
2. Maximizer 2016 (v14) is now supported! | ||
3. LineNumbering feature. There are two new macro fields DocumentItems.&LineNumber and DocumentItems.&LineNumberActual. By default these will not be visible columns. You can make them visible choosing the View->Customize columns menu. They are also available for use in the print layouts. Any lines with the Excluded=Yes or PrintLine=No will automatically not be numbered. In addition you can set the following options on the Print tab of the Tools->Options menu that control which line items are numbered: "Don't number Heading lines, "Don't number Comment lines", "Don't number Empty Comment lines", "Don't number Group Member lines", "Don't number % Charge lines", "Don't number % Discount lines", "Don't number SubTotal lines", "Don't number Running SubTotal lines", and "Don't number Summary lines". The DocumentItems.&LineNumber feature is designed based on the need to uniquely identify a line on the quote primarily for purposes of talking with the customer about it over the phone or by email. The DocumentItems.&LineNumberActual is designed so that you can see the line numbers for each row at the same time, so that there is always a visual indicator displayed for each line so you no longer have to click on a line to see what line number it is. | ||
4. You can now highlight line items using up to 5 pre-defined highlight colors. Simply select or multi-select line items and click on the highlighter icon above the grid on the DocumentItems tab. This feature gives you the ability to tag/highlight line items in a way that you can use as a visual aide in reminding yourself that you need to complete something on these line items. You can combine this with the Notes column to enter in notes for yourself regarding what you need to do with the line item. This is a very useful productivity tool! The highlighting is only seen in the QuoteWerks quote, it will not been seen by the customer in the PDF output or when uploaded to QuoteValet. | ||
5. Double-clicking on a FPC layout or Word document on the Primary or Additional tab of the Print Document window will now run/merge just that FPC layout or Word document file and then preview it. Double-clicking used to edit the layout or Word file. This is a quick preview feature for that layout that does not include cover page, literature, etc. It is useful for looking over details that need to be double checked, typically literature, spec sheets, etc are static items that do not need to be reviewed every time. | ||
6. For SYNNEX online ordering, re-designed the way addresses are selected for the ShipTo, EndUser, and Reseller fields on the order form. Especially when the items in the online order are from multiple orders, you will now be able to select any of the addresses from any of the orders related to these items. The addresses include the Soldto, ShipTo, BillTo, and Sales Rep location. | ||
7. For salesforce.com users with multiple currencies activated for Price Books, re-designed how the currency is selected on the Create/Update Opportunity window. Also added some site.ini settings under the [Contact Managers] section. You can add the key "SFPriceBookISOCurrencyCodeList=AUD,NZD,USD,CAD,EUR,GBP" to control which currencies are displayed as choices. You may have 10 price books in salesforce.com but only want to show a couple on the QuoteWerks Opportunity window. You can also set the key "SFOppPriceBookInclusionList=Silver Price List,Gold Price List" to control that. Lastly, if you want the default currency selected for the Opportunity PriceBook to be the Alternate Currency selection in QuoteWerks, you can set the key "SFOppPriceBookCurrencyCodeDefaultToAlternateCurrency=-1" | ||
8. For salesforce.com users you can now select the Standard Price Book as the Price Book for the Opportunity when creating or updating a salesforce.com opportunity. | ||
9. On the Open Document window there is a now a new "QuoteValet Document ID" column. You can use this to see if you have uploaded the document to QuoteValet. You can sort on this column and very easily see a list of documents that have been uploaded and not been uploaded. | ||
10. On the Edit Product window the UI size of the 255 character Notes text box was increased so that you can see and enter all 255 characters. | ||
11. The Add Item Assistant window is now larger. The form is taller and wider, the description column is wider and more optional items are displayed vertically. | ||
12. When editing the layout FPC files and you choose File->Printer Setup this will embed the page size into the FPC file and whenever that fpc file is printed (especially to a PDF file), it will use the page size embedded in the FPC file. | ||
13. On the DocumentItems tab, the width of the description column of the drop down list for the CostModifier and PriceModifier cells was widened by 40%. | ||
14. The width of the Print Selections display area on the Print window has been increased by 32%. | ||
15. Added new macro fields: &SYS_FirstDayOfCurrentYearForSQL, &SYS_LastDayOfCurrentYearForSQL, &SYS_FirstDayOfLastYearForSQL, and &SYS_LastDayOfLastYearForSQL. These are especially useful in report filters. | ||
16. Added new user preference "Auto-close Bundle window after selecting bundle" on the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. When on the Bundles window and choosing to add/insert a bundle into the quote, this option will be used. | ||
17. Added new user preference "Prompt for Bundle Quantity" on the Misc tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu. When on the Bundles window and choosing to add/insert a bundle into the quote, this option will be used. | ||
18. Added a new column "Exclusive Option Group" for the Document Items tab. This will display the mutually exclusive Group that the line item belongs to - if the item is an optional item. | ||

20. On the Open Document window you can now search the DocName field by "Begins with", "Contains" and "Ends with". | ||
21. On the Open Document window you can now search the DocStatus field by "Equal to", or "Begins with". | ||

14. Issue with determining SQL Server version for SQL Server 2012 for the "CU" cumulative update notation like "SQL Server 2012 (SP3-CU1)". | ||
15. If a document was already open by a user on the system and another user tried to open that same quote by double-clicking on a linked document in a CRM, or by double-clicking directly on a DTF file, you would receive a notice that the file was already open but would not get the options to [Open as Ready only copy]. | ||

During the node installation, the Start menu program group names of previous versions like QuoteWerks 4.8, QuoteWerks 4.9, and QuoteWerks 5.0 were getting left behind instead of being renamed to the current version of QuoteWerks being installed. This has been improved, but if newer and older data still exist, manual cleanup will be required. [Service Release: 4.15] | ||
36. During the node installation, the Windows Uninstall entries were being left behind for older versions. [Service Release: 4.15] | ||

45. If a quote was saved and then uploaded to QuoteValet, and then closed without any more changes, the DTF file was not being re-saved. This would cause issues when the "Look for synchronized data in dtf files" option was set on the Synchronization tab of the Tools->Options menu. Combined with the Daylight savings time change, it would appear that the older DTF file was newer resulting in the quote from the database being replaced with a version of the quote that did not have the QuoteValetDocumentID saved into it, so the QuoteValet tab would be disabled even though the quote had been uploaded to QuoteValet. After applying this fix you will need to choose the Utilities->Rebuild CM Transport files to rebuild all the DTF files with current data from the database. Also QuoteWerks now checks for if the QuoteValetDocumentID exists in the database, but not in the DTF, in which case it will now prevent you from replacing the database when attempting to replace the database record with the data from the DTF file which prevents you from updating the database record with the data from the DTF file.

46. Error in GetDynTextFld, field = QuoteValetDocumentID' when merging remote documents. [Service Release: 4.24] | ||

This issue was introduced in v5.0 build 4.08. [Service Release: 4.30] | ||
48. For salesforce.com users in regions where the comma is the decimal separator would receive error Fault Code (QWSALESFORCE_UNKNOWN). '[UNITPRICE]' is not valid for the type xsd:double when creating/updating the salesforce.com opportunity. [Service Release: 4.30] | ||
49. When using the DocFunctions.DocumentPrint API and passing the parameter of qwPrint and specifying a Printer name, QuoteWerks was prompting to confirm the printer selection instead of silently printing.
[Service Release: 4.30] | ||
50. The DocumentItems.LineNumber field was still in the database that was installed when installing a fresh copy of QuoteWerks, even though the LineNumber database field was removed in v5.1 Build 3.00. [Service Release: 4.33] | ||
51. For salesforce.com users, if the decimal separator for fractional numbers was a comma, then when updating an opportunity the close probability would be multiplied by 10. [Service Release: 4.33] | ||
52. For Tech Data Europe Real-time users (Including Tech Data UK/Computer 2000), an error regarding XML formatting was received when requesting pricing and availability. [Service Release: 4.33] |
