Summary

New or Enhanced Features
This release contains the following new features and enhancements:
| Enhancement | Description |
| Scheduling Wizard | A feature has been added to the Scheduling Wizard. Once a client has been selected, the wizard will now check to see if they have an existing "On Hold" session. The user can then choose whether to continue to create a new session or to exit the wizard and use the existing "On Hold" session. |
| Sessions/Appointments | Several new columns have been added to both the Sessions tab and the Appointments tab of the client record. » The Sessions tab now displays indicator columns for "On Hold," "No Show, "ReDo," and "Cancelled." These columns have been added as a convenience and are read-only.
|
| Session Triggers | A new exclusion has been added to session triggers for "On Hold" sessions. This option has been added to Session Type triggers and Session Status triggers.
|
| Users | The User Maintenance screen has been improved! You can now view and edit some of the most used settings without opening each individual user. For example, you can easily see if a user is missing key data or is in the wrong security group. You can also now quickly add new users and select their basic settings by using the first row. Finally, there is a new Find tool on the ribbon to help large companies locate a specific employee.
|
A new Email tab has been added to Studio Preferences. This allows you to set up optional company-wide email settings. These settings will be used only if there are no user or workstation email settings. |
|
| Dashboard | A new option has been added to the Dashboard Report ribbon. This option gives users that don't have permission to create dashboard reports the ability to still add existing reports to their personal dashboard. Click Show On Dashboard to add the report to your Dashboard. |
| Payments | Enhancements have been made to increase the security of credit card payments. After credit card approval has been received, the payment amount will now be locked by default. Users with the appropriate security settings can click the padlock button to unlock the payment amount, the authorization code, and the authorization date. Information is locked by clicking the padlock again. + More about credit card payments |
