| 8. For QuoteValet Users, you can now have a custom Alias/CNAME in the QuoteValet URL. So, instead of www.quotevalet.com, the URL could be yourcompany.quotevalet.com.

[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 9. Replace has been added to the Edit->Find feature. You can select the Edit->Find menu (or press CTRL-F) which launches the find window and sets the Find Column to | ||
| 10. You can now clone Required Items, Optional Items, and Substitute Items. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 11. The Expires field (ExpirationDate) on the Sale Info tab of the Quote Workbook now contains a time portion. This is useful for specifying that a quote expires at 5pm on a certain day. This changed is also supported in QuoteValet. You can specify the default expiration number of days and time on the Documents.General tab under Tools->Options menu. In the time text box if you enter, for example, +5:35 then it will add 5 hrs and 35 minutes to the current time. Without a + symbol the time will be a fixed time.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 12. Text Library. For Memo fields, the F2lookup now lets you store a text library of large chunks of text that are searchable enabling you to easily compose your statements of work, terms and other text intensive composition. Additionally the F2lookup now has a separate column that can contain a description of the value for reference purposes. As a result of these changes you no longer need to use the //in the F2Lookup value to include a description, but when importing a list of values from the F2lookup window you can use the // to import the description for the value. The F2Lookup can do more than store static text. See the help file about these F2 Lookup functions: SALESFORCE_MACRO, QW_MACRO, RUNAPPANDRETURNCLIPBOARD, REQUESTDDEVALUE.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 13. Data Manager for Advanced Import, Export, and Mass updating under the Utilities->Data Manager menu. You can now Import/Export Bundles, Configurations, Required Items, Optional Items, Substitute Items (BCROS). You can also Import/Export Contacts and Vendors. This new advanced Export will save the DataSet in a CSV file format with the column headings. This enables you to easily open up this file in excel and make changes. Then you reverse the process and Import this file. No mapping is required. The option to backup your data before the Import is available (and highly recommended). This is an advanced feature that you must be very careful with. In addition exporting data, changing it in Excel, and then importing the changes, you can also just export out a formatted CSV file that only has the column headings in it so that you can enter new data to import. You can do this with Bundles, Configurations, Required Items, Optional Items, and Substitute Items. Import and Export activities are recorded in the Event Log for audit trail tracking. The use of the Data Manager is restricted to users with MasterRights and also the Misc Access Rights of "NonMasterRightsUser_CanExportFromDataManager", and "NonMasterRightsUser_CanImportFromDataManager". All the BCROS entities now have RecGUID, CreatedOn, and LastModifiedOn fields making it easy to see which records were recently imported in case you made a mistake when importing new records you know which records you would need to delete to undo your error. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 14. The Data Manager also has a Mass Update tab. Currently you can use this to increase prices by a percentage for all Fixed Price products in a Native product database. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 15. On the Flowchart tab of the Edit Configuration window there is now a [Find] button. This will do a contains search of the Selection Container Names. When a match is found, it will ensure the node is visible, highlight it in yellow, and ask if you would like to find the next occurrence. You can also press CTRL-F to initiate the Find. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 16. Purchase Orders now have a POConfirmed field. Often customers email a purchase order to a Vendor, but have not yet received confirmation of the receipt of the purchase order from their vendor. There is also a "Non-Confirmed POs" filter on the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing window so you can easily see which Purchase Orders have not been confirmed so you can ping the vendor about it. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 17. PO Items now have an ETADate field so that you have a place to store and stay on top of the Estimated Time of Arrival of the Purchase Order items as your vendor gives you updates. To manage this field, there is now a right click "Update PO ETA..." for a Purchase Order. This will update the ETA date to the same date for all the items in the PO. For more granular control, the right click menu for a PO Item, has a "Change ETA.." menu. With this you can update the ETA date for and individual PO Item. You can use this with manual orders and online orders.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 18. PO Related HTML templates now have new macros available which are &POI_&TrackingInfo?, &POI_&ETADate, and &POI_&SerialNumbers.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 19. On the Purchase orders tab of the Purchasing window, there is a new right click menu "E-mail Internal PO Status...". You can use this to email status information about the purchase order internally. The HTML template and email can be fully customized and including tracking and serial numbers. On the E-Mail Template Manager window, there is a new button [Edit SYS_PurchasingInternalPOStatus HTML]. Additionally on the Templates tab, under the owner of (System) there is a new email template of "SYS_EmailPurchasingPOInternalStatus".
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 20. On the Purchase orders tab of the Purchasing window, there is a new right click menu "E-mail PO status to customer(s)...". You can use this to email status information to your customers about the items ordered for them on the Purchase Order. The HTML template and email can be fully customized and including tracking and serial numbers. On the E-Mail Template Manager window, there is a new button [Edit SYS_PurchasingCustomerOrderStatus HTML]. Additionally on the Templates tab, under the owner of (System) there is a new email template of "SYS_EmailPurchasingCustomerOrderStatus". Since your Purchase Orders can contain items from different customers, this feature will send each of those customers status updates on only their items on the Purchase order related to them. There is also a grid toolbar button for this action in addition to the right click menu.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 21. On the Purchase orders tab of the Purchasing window, building on the new right click menu "E-mail PO status to customer(s)...", there is a toolbar button "E-mail PO status to customer(s) for all updated POs". This is very powerful. With this you can update ETA dates, and receive inventory of multiple Purchase Orders, and when you click this button emails will be sent out to all customers that are affected by the PO changes you made since the last time you clicked this button! This is a huge time saver and reduces many of the "where is my order?" type of questions you receive by email and phone from your customers. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 22. The Tools->Export Items to Excel menu will now format the Excel columns with the data type that the data is. Previously, all the columns were just formatted as "General". [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 23. For Product Content Subscribers, there is a new checkbox on the Product Content Subscription tab of the Real-time Setup Window labeled "Do Not Download Product Images from Etilize". This option is helpful for those users that do not include Etilize Pictures on their quotes and proposals. If this option is checked, when retrieving an Etilize products, the Etilize picture will not be downloaded. This will save network space and time retrieving products from Etilize for those users. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 24. On the E-Mail Template Manager window, on the Templates tab, under the owner of (System) there is a new email template of "SYS_EmailDistributorNonStandardPricing" enabling you to customize the email that is sent after an Online Order when you have specified non-standard or discount pricing that you have previously negotiated with your distributor sales rep. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 25. The Tools->Export Items to Excel menu will now format the Excel columns with the data type that the data is. Previously, all the columns were just formatted as "General". [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 26. SoldToEmail, ShipToEmail, and BillToEmail columns are now included in the Open Document window results grid. This is useful for doing a search and then exporting the list to your favorite email blasting service to send out notifications to your customers or leads. Examples like which customers purchased an HP server in the last year and send them an email about a new limited time discount. Or which customers have you sent a quote to in the last 6 months, etc.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 27. When looking for a field or macro to insert into a layout, insert into a email template, insert into a text box, select as a filter field, etc there is now a lookup button that you can click on to do a contains search to quickly locate the field that you are looking for.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 28. 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.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 29. 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. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 30. Management Reports now have a Category field to make it easier to organize different types of reports. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 31. Management Reports now track LastModified, LastModifiedBy, CreatedOn, and CreatedBy so you know who created and last modified your reports. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 32. Various backups (like when importing products, etc) are now stored in the \QuoteWerks\Backups folder. Each day a backup is made a new folder will be created in the \Backups folder like "2022-09-25", and then any backup files created that day will be stored in that folder. 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. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 33. Added a button on the 'Other Realtime' tab of the Real-time Setup to Collapse or Expand the List of Other Real-time Vendors, making it easier to navigate to the vendor you are looking for in the long list. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 34. In the Settings Manager, you can now control the height of the rows on the Document Items tab per user. The range is 285 to 1425. The default is a single row at 285. The setting is UserSettings\UserConfig\QuoteSheetRowHeight=285 [Service Release: 1.03] | ||

| 38. On the Company tab of the Tools->Options menu you can now specify a CompanyLogo, CompanyPicture1, and CompanyPicture2. You can use these in the layout designer as Application->CompanyPicture1, etc to insert them into all your layouts. Then with a single change of the file in this area, all the layouts will have this new picture. 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. [Service Release: 1.09] | ||
| 39. You can now change the column width and column order for the columns on the F2Lookup window. You can also click on the column headings to change which column is sorted and in which sort direction. All these selections are remembered per user. [Service Release: 1.09] | ||
| 40. You can now change the column width and column order for the columns on the Zoom window. You can also click on the column headings to change which column is sorted and in which sort direction. All these selections are remembered per user. [Service Release: 1.09] | ||

| 44. When running the QuoteWerks installer to update an existing installation of QuoteWerks, the installer updates the QWOS.dll and QWServices.dll in the Common Files folder to perform installation services. If you choose to cancel the installation after starting it, you would be left with those newer updated files which if newer than your previous installation would cause your previous installation not to run. The installer now automatically restores those older files so you can continue to use the currently installed version of QuoteWerks.
[Service Release: 1.09] | ||
| 45. Microsoft SQL Server 2022 is now supported! [Service Release: 1.11] | ||

| Misc Features - Build 1 | ||
| 1. The "E-mail tracking number(s)..." right click menu for a Purchase Order has been removed as the new right click menus of "E-mail Internal PO status..." and "E-mail PO status to customer(s)..." are more robust and both include the tracking information. The PO Item right click "E-mail tracking number(s)..." has also been removed for the same reason. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 2. The SalesLogix Integration has been discontinued in QuoteWerks v23 (November 2022). You can continue using the SalesLogix integration with QuoteWerks as long as you do not update to QuoteWerks version 23 or higher. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 3. The Report definition .rcf files have been moved into a Reports table (stored in the REPORTS.MDB database if access backend). This was a necessary step for reports to be accessible in QuoteWerks Web. Since the RCF file data is now in a database, you cannot simply attach an RCF file to send to QuoteWerks technical support, or to receive reports from technical support. To address this, there are now right click menus in the Reports list of "Import Report from DataSet File..." and "Export Report from DataSet File...". You can also set Misc Access rights for these actions of "CannotImportReportsDefinition" and "CannotExportReportsDefinition". The command line /r option for running a report will now accept the RecGUID for the Report instead of the old RCF file name, for example, "/r E39B8128AA9D46999385FAB16C4FF598.rcf,1". You can obtain this using the [Generate Command Line Option] button on the General tab of the Edit Report window. For Remote users, when synchronizing there is now a Reports Data Group option in addition to the Reports File Group, both will need to be selected to rollout the complete report data (database record and fpc file) to a remote. [Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 4. The QuoteWerks Contact Database contact record now requires that you enter a Company name.
[Service Release: 1.03] | ||
| 5. If you attempt to select file larger than 150K for Sales Rep Picture, Sales Rep Electronic Signature, CompanyLogo, CompanyPicture1, or CompanyPicture2 will receive a message alerting you that you need to reduce the file size before you can use it for performance reasons. You can significantly speed up the creation of print output and QuoteValet uploads by not using unnecessarily large images. Often images native size can be 10 inches wide which gets resized visually by the software to only 2 inches wide on the screen, but the file data itself is for 10 inches. The solution is to resize the file to be closer to the actual size you want and then use that which will increase your performance. [Service Release: 1.09] | ||
