New or Enhanced Features
Spectra 2012 Volume 1 Service Release 5 (SR5) includes modifications to the Spectra Dashboard, including some brand new reports for Spectra Enterprise clients, an enhancement to the payment and payment methods screens, and several new data entry validation options.
| Enhancement | Description |
| Dashboard Modifications | » Client Status and Session Status have been added as "Group By" options to existing dashboard reports and budgets. » Assigned To User and Assigned To Department have been added as "Group By" options to the existing Phone Calls dashboard report. » Some existing reports have been renamed. » The Budget Maintenance form has been modified. The Search Options group on the ribbon has been renamed and the ability to view "All Data Types" at the same time has been added. |
| Payments and Payment Methods | Studios can now view and/or manually enter a reference number for a credit card. This can be done both on individual credit card payments and on payment methods. For example, the studio can go to the Merchant Warehouse gateway and process a credit card, receiving a unique token (reference number) for that credit card. Then, in Spectra, the user can either create a payment or payment method and enter the token provided by Merchant Warehouse into the "Reference Number" field. This will allow the credit card to be used for future transactions. Note: Once a reference number has been saved, the field will be locked to prevent modifications. When processing a credit card payment directly through Spectra, the Merchant Warehouse token (reference number) is automatically recorded on the payment. This number is visible in the "Reference Number" field. Example of Payment screen:
