New Features - Build 5
 1. New "Apply Multi-Line Changes" menu under the Edit menu. This enables you to apply the same change to a specified column for every line that is selected in the Document Items grid. Certain columns have some special features, like the QtyBase, you can enter "*3" to multiply the Qty value by 3. Also, you can enter "++5" to add 5 to the value. You can also enter "++5%" to add 5% to the value. Using "--" will subtract the values. Similarly, the UnitCost, UnitPrice, UnitList support the "++5%", "++5", "--5%", "--5" features. This window remembers last column the changes were applied to, and remembers per field what value the field was last set to. There is also a "Apply Multi-Line Changes" toolbar button on the grid toolbar. [Service Release: 5.01]

 2. Added new integration to Kaseya BMS! The integration with Kaseya BMS includes the ability to search for contacts, create/update Opportunities, create/update Quotes, create/update Activities, and upload quote attachments to Kaseya BMS. The Kaseya BMS Product and Service Databases are available on the Product Lookup. Contact DataLink is supported. You can attach files to the Kaseya BMS Opportunity from the PDF Preview window, the Links tab, and the Print window. There is a button on the SoldTo/ShipTo tab to display the contact in Kaseya BMS. On the Links Tab, Auto Links are available for the SoldToContact, ShipToContact, BillToContact, Opportunity, Activity, and Quote that you can click to view the selected entity in Kaseya BMS. The Corporate Edition of QuoteWerks is required to integrate with Kaseya BMS. [Service Release: 5.01]

 4. For QuoteValet users, when setting the Deposit Method or Request Payment there is now the option "In QuoteValet, allow customer to pay full amount / remaining balance at any time." so that a customer can pay either the minimum deposit or the full amount. [Service Release: 5.01]

 5. For Ingram Micro USA and Canadian Customers, you can now view and import Ingram Micro Quotes created by Ingram Micro's sales reps for you, or created by yourself on the Ingram Micro website.

Once found, you can import all the quote details into the QuoteWerks quote, saving time and reducing data entry error. To use this feature, click on the IM button located on the grid toolbar on the Document Items tab. This functionality uses new Ingram Micro API Credentials which you will need to obtain on the https://developer.ingrammicro.com website. [Service Release: 5.01]

 6. For Autotask users, the Autotask Products Data Source on the Product Lookup window now displays a Categories folder which has a hierarchal tree view of all the Autotask Products Category levels. In Autotask, the Product Search does not have this treeview category search feature, so it will be easier to look for products based on category in QuoteWerks as opposed to Autotask! [Service Release: 5.01]

 7. For Autotask users, the Autotask Quote URL will now be available under the Auto-Links on the Links tab for Autotask Quotes the QuoteWerks Creates/Updates. [Service Release: 5.01]

When you use a part number in a QuoteWerks line item that matches a QuickBooks part number that is already setup in QuickBooks as a GROUP type item, the description, price, and taxability from the QuoteWerks line item will not be used and will defer to those values as defined in the QuickBooks GROUP part number.

 15. For QuickBooks Desktop users, when exporting documents to QuickBooks, if for some reason the GrandTotals do not match, you will receive a warning message.

 23. Another change to the behaviors of key presses in the Document Items grid.

Also, when all the cell text is selected and you press SHIFT-LEFT or SHIFT-RIGHT it will de-select all the text and position the cursor at the beginning or end of the cell respectively.

It also remembers, per user, the last fields you searched on and defaults them for next time. Additionally the value text box is now a drop down list showing all the unique values for this field in the database! This is especially useful for locating old part numbers in templates that need to be updated. [Service Release: 5.21]
