Premier 2013

Recent Changes

• Modified
  • When reconciling a Log, the filtering (MyViews) of items will no longer automatically uncheck the hidden item(s); this is a different behavior than all of the other areas of the product that do this. It seems to make sense that, specifically regarding Log reconciliation that there may be times that filtering be done but the action of automatically unchecking does not take place to the hidden item(s).
• Fixed
  • The change to handle the 12-hour clock appears to not work correctly in the case of midnight/noon; it is reporting AM/PM incorrectly.
  • When using correction mode on an existing Contract and *only* modifying the product and the product is not an existing one in the list; the Apply button is not enabled due to this change not being recognized as a change.
  • There seems to be issues where an exception is generated related to the changes made to correct check / uncheck all in v1807.

• Added
  • Added initial support for the Wideorbit OnAir Automation 2006B Log export.

• Fixed
  • The Billing, MakeGood, reconciling Log, etc.; choosing to Select All combined with a filter for the checked/unchecked entries causes an exception.
  • The New... context menu item on Copy list of the Customer is available when it shouldn't be in the case of creating a new Customer. This option should not be available until after the Customer has been initially created.
  • Exception: Deleted row information cannot be accessed through the row in Contract rotation window..

• Modified
  • Removed the ActualSpotCount, ApprovedLineItemCount, CalculatedSpotCount, ContractStatusId, ExpectedSpotCount, Items, LastLockedLogDate, Locked and TotalLineItemCount optional columns from the Contracts window as they are designed for internal purposes, not intended for the end-users.
  • When working in the Contracts window with Customers that have a lot of Contracts, things seem to be a bit "sluggish" when scrolling up and down in the Contract list. This has been significantly improved.
• Fixed
  • Due to a modification in a recent update, the background process to generate Logs, calculate finance charges and generate OAR billing on the 15th was not properly executing.
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Log EnableInterfaceInternal.
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in checking license thresholds (Dashboard).
  • Exception: Conversion from type to type is not valid in Customer when modifying a Conflict.
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Dashboard updating status bar.

• Modified
  • When working with rotations on a Contract, there seems to have been a "delay" when moving from one rotation to another in the list. This delay has been removed.
• Fixed
  • When duplicating a Contract that has "a lot" of rotations and many of those rotations are removed due to being no longer relevant due to the date change, the sorting of the rotation items gets "confused".
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Copy.
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Contracts Print Confirmations.
  • Exception: Win32Exception "Access is denied" in Contract when attempting to execute a virtual Tab key.
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Dashboard displaying of modules.
  • When a new Station is added to an existing service, existing Copy that is marked for "all stations" and MUSTFILL, the existing Copy is not available for the newly created Station causing a "Cannot cast DBNull.Value to type 'System.Int32'." exception when attempting to lock a Log that contains one or more MUSTFILL avails.
  • Exception: Encountered a "Timeout expired" when working with a Contract line item that isn't protected with a "Retry/Cancel" prompt.
  • Exception: There is no row at position 0 when opening an existing Contract.
  • Exception: Encountered a "Server was unable to process request" when working with Group settings that isn't protected with a "Retry/Cancel" prompt.

• Modified
  • The application will now automatically launch the update if a new version is detected and the only window open is the Dashboard.
• Fixed
  • Under some circumstances the available modules are not visible after an installation until after the application is restarted for a second time.
  • The color of the Contract line items has been inadvertently removed with a recent update.
  • Under specific circumstances, it is possible to not see new line items added to a Contract when using the Apply button often.

• Added
  • Added "None" as a optional Skin.
• Modified
  • Removed the "What's New..." note from the Dashboard that is available when a new version is received; it is now necessary to utilize the View What's New... menu tool. The primary reason for this is that appears to be some confusion between the "there's a new version available" and "you received a new version suggestion"; so the "suggestion" was nixed.
  • Reset the "Default Skin" to something a lot more "basic" (named "None"); this is directly due to negative feedback received after the recent update(s).
• Fixed
  • Removed the RadioTraffic.com logo from the username/password screen due to redraw/refresh issues when "remember me" is enabled.

• Fixed
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Contracts InitializeDataAsync() related to launching the Contracts window and immediately (as fast as possible) pressing the ESC key to close the window before it has any time to finish initializing.
  • Removed Page Setup... menu and toolbar button from "Print Preview" windows due to inconsistent behavior (in other words, weirdness) between various launches.

• Modified
  • Updated the application icon to a "more modern" version aligning better with Windows 8/10.
  • The Users window has been modified to display the User Name column as being blank for a User that doesn't have a username/password configured in order to sign into the system.
  • Renamed the Commission/Goals column to Goals.
  • Moved the Default Commission Type from the Goals tab and to the General tab.
  • Rebuilt the General tab to better organize and handle workflow regardless of whether the person is someone who is able to sign into the system and/or is just a sales person who needs to be configured for purposes of Contract entry.
  • The Login Information section of the User window has been modified so that there is now an Enable checkbox that enables the Username and Password fields. Additional instructions/details are available on screen. Additionally, the Enable checkbox can not be disabled if the Administrator checkbox is enabled on the Member Of / Role tab.
  • The User window caption has been modified to read User - View/Modify instead of showing some "random meaningless number".
  • Significant changes to the User window in order to enhance the overall loading performance.
  • The Trashed column as been renamed to Active on the Users window.
  • The Username column has been made optional (not visible by default) on the Users window.
  • The Users window now contains a Commission column to better review Users who've been configured as "sales people" (for purposes of Contract entry).
  • The Email tab of the User window has been removed; the complexity of this "editor" was overkill for the results desired. Replacing this is a new Email field on the General tab. This field also "validates" the data for a properly formatted email address.
  • The Invoice Summary menu item (under View) has been removed from the Contract window.
  • The optional Primary Conflict and Secondary Conflict columns on the Customers and Contracts windows now reflects assigned Conflicts as being Inactive if the are currently in use and have been trashed.
  • The Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy report has been modified to now account for rescheduled and/or trashed spot(s).
  • The Open, Print, Print Previw and Export menu items on several windows (such as Stations) have been modified to only be enabled if one or more items actually exist.
  • The New, Save, Save As, Save To, Print and Print Preview menu and toolbar items on the Template window have been modified to only be enabled if there one or more items that actually exist.

• Fixed
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Reports FilterReport().
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Log MasterGridView_RowStyle.
  • Exception: Cannot cast DBNull.Value to type 'System.Boolean' in Log DetailGridView_CustomDrawCell.
  • Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Log MasterGridView_RowStyle.
  • Exception: Deleted row information cannot be accessed through the row in Log MoveSpotUp_Action.
  • Exception: Cannot cast DBNull.Value to type 'System.Int32' in Log ReAssignCopy.
  • Under certain conditions the Conflicts are not visible on the Contract window as if they are inactive.
  • When removing any item from a Template the application produces an invalid exception.
  • The Email Statement button on the AR window appears to not work correctly when there is not an email address specified for emailing Invoices?? It should work regardless the email Invoice address is blank or not.
  • The Email Statement button on the AR window appears to not work correctly if the Customer does not have an email address and the Agency does.
  • There is a circumstance where someone who moved from TrafficXP to Premier where they started using TrafficXP prior to the existence of Debit Adjustments and the back balances were imported... these unpaid invoices are incorrectly being shown on the Dashboard as needing to be printed.
  • The Contracts window is, under some circumstances, showing a Contract in red and not really sure as to why. Upon further research, the calculation of the number of items was not taking into account OAR in some rare circumstances.
  • Some (but not all) OAR Contract line items were being saved with a "schedule type" set to an erroneous value; this value should have been set to "none".
  • The Make Good report doesn't appear to be taking into account scenarios where a spot bypasses being placed on a Log but directly placed onto an Invoice.
  • When reconciling a Log and, under this specific scenario, click on a checkbox next to an item and immediately (without clicking, tabbing, typing anything else) click on the save icon on the toolbar, the item that was most recently toggled is not saved.
  • When trashing a Conflict, existing Contracts that are still utilizing the (now) trashed Conflict are displaying a blank Conflict and an associated exclamation warning when viewed. Would like it to display the trashed Conflict and identify that it has been trashed.
  • When deleting a User, the prompt to select a different User displays the exclamation warning slightly odd when using one of the darker themes.
  • The EDI export appears to have the wrong numerical value for the day of the week; it appears to be off by one.
  • When using one or more period characters in a Customer phone number, the phone number is not displayed when opening the Customer window.
  • The CTRL+O, CTRL+N and CTRL+P accelorator keys (menu) don't appear to do anything except make a "ding" sound on the Template window.
  • If EmailMyTimes has been enabled at some point and a Customer has an email address defined (and invalid) and EmailMyTimes was subsequently disabled, it is possible that an error icon will be displayed on the Customer window for this client however it be confusing since the EmailMyTimes section is no longer visible (due to the option being made inactive).
  • When entering a SPW Contract where the "last week" of the line is in such a way where the number of spots far exceeds the number of days available, the spots are partially placing beyond the end date of the line item. For example, 20 SPW and the valid days of the last week of the line item fall on the 30th and 31st where the line item ends on the 31st where the spots are set for MTWThFSSu; spots are being scheduled 2 for the 30th and 31st, the "left over" for the other days are being placed to the 30th (10 more) and the unequal spots are being evenly spanned across all days of the week starting on Monday, resulting in spots incorrectly being scheduled on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
  • When using the "todo" items to open Billing, the tab selected (sometimes) doesn't reflect what was selected.
  • When using the Trash tool on Copy from the Customer window, there is an eroneous message stating that the items will be removed from rotations; this is no longer true.

• Modified
  • The installation location has changed. Future notes will only include information relevant to Premier 2013.
  • Reapproached the CTRL+F (Find) tool in Contracts sometimes not highlighting the target Contract; it will now wait for the previous Contract refresh to complete before attempting to switch Customer and seek the target Contract. In addition to handling the highlight more accurately, there is a slight performance gain due to the system no longer (potentially) loading the list of Contracts for a Customer twice.
  • When using the Delete tool to delete a piece of Copy from the Customer window, you are now prompted in triplicate if you wish to continue.
  • When the system contains no Contracts for a particular Station, the Dashboard message has been modified to use the word 'contracts' instead of 'orders'.
  • Using the Trash tool to trash Copy no longer rips the Copy from Contracts (removing the Copy from individual rotations); instead, the Copy is left on the rotation(s) and should be ignored using the rules that are in place. This change is done in order to prevent irreversable situations where a Copy is trashed by mistake and in order to keep the "history" of the Copy somewhat intact.
  • The EDI export now includes values for the INVOICE PERIOD START DATE and INVOICE PERIOD END DATE. The 4A's specification states that these fields are optional (and I agree that they should be since the information can easily be determined using of the BROADCAST MONTH (which has month and year) or even possibly the INVOICE DATE; which are both required); however, it appears that some software used by some agencies "requires" this information (after years of apparently not requiring it???; it's only appeared on our radar as a problem on 3/31/2015).
• Fixed
  • When using the Delete tool to delete a piece of Copy from the CopyList or Customer window, the mouse cursor doesn't change to reflect that the system is busy.
  • When entering a SPW Contract where the "last week" of the line is in such a way where the number of spots far exceeds the number of days available, the spots are partially placing beyond the end date of the line item. For example, 20 SPW and the valid days of the last week of the line item fall on the 30th and 31st where the line item ends on the 31st where the spots are set for MTWThFSSu; spots are being scheduled 2 for the 30th and 31st, the "left over" for the other days are being placed to the 30th (10 more) and the unequal spots are being evenly spanned across all days of the week starting on Monday, resulting in spots incorrectly being scheduled on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
  • When opening a Rotation, the start date field is not automatically focused as the default.

• Premier 2013
  • Fixed
    • When creating a new Contract line item, changing the Schedule from Weekly (or SPW) to something else and back again "clears" the Skip Week value in such a way that (blank), if not corrected (such as setting back to None) prior to saving, will produce a line item with no spots.

• Premier 2013
  • Added
    • Added optional "Voice" column to the Customer Copy list (available if Voice optional feature is enabled).
    • Added optional "Owner" column to the Aged Collections reports.
    • Added optional "Note" column to the CopyList window.
  • Modified
    • When modifying the Agency commission field, the prompt asking if you'd like to recalculate all existing Invoices has been removed. Modifying the commission field on the Agency now takes affect on all Contracts going forward. To change the commission of a previously entered Contract/Invoice, use Correction Mode as this tool is designed to "change historical information."
    • The Billing window now has all elements "disabled" while it is busy processing.
    • It is now possible to email Invoices overnight using the Billing window; specifically, you can initiate the process before leaving and the application will no longer automatically exit due to inactivity until the emails have been completed.
  • Fixed
    • When attempting to Trash a Transaction in AR, an error message is presented.

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • A Contract that is invalid is now presented as a line with a red background to draw attention. The asterisk identification method has been removed (unless Color Hints is not enabled).
    • It is no longer possible to Trash a partially Approved (Pending) Contract.
    • Adding/duplicating a line on partially Approved (Pending) Contract now shows in the color red (instead of yellow) since this is a potential error condition.
    • Contracts that have been Trashed no longer show in a red font.
    • Contracts that are Pending and past their expected begin date now show on the window highlighted in red (error).
    • Contracts that are Pending and before their expected begin date now show on the window highlighted in yellow (attention).
  • Fixed
    • If a filter is applied in Billing, clicking the Process... button while only have some of the items checked to be processed; the items that are left are automatically checked upon reloading. If the existing filter is not unchecked or modified, the "hidden" items are also automatically checked when refreshing and if the Process button is further clicked under this circumstance, all the "hidden" items (that are still checked, but shouldn't be) are also processed.
    • If a filter is applied in the Print Invoices (AR), after printing the first batch the list is refreshed and the filter is reapplied; however, the items that are filtered are not automatically unchecked as they should be.
    • The Rotation field on the Contract line item window is visible (Premier 2013) and should not be as this feature does not work in Premier 2013.

• Premier 2013
  • Added
    • The Log window now has a Reset tool to reset the overall layout of the columns to factory default. This tool is access through the main menu using View.
  • Modified
    • The NexGen automation system has been modified to provide better diagnostic messaging for circumstances where a cart # is missing.
    • The View menu on the Log window has been moved further to left for consistency with other windows throughout the application.
    • The Filter By Avail checkbox (Log window) has seen a slight performance improvement in relation to usage while the selected Log item is at the top (or not yet selected).
    • The Advertiser, Representative and Contract columns has been renamed to Customer, Sales Person and Contract # on the Log window for consistency.
  • Fixed
    • When an existing filter is enabled on the Billing, PrintStatements or EmailStatements windows, when opening the window the filter is not automatically unchecking the filtered items like it does when originally applying the filter.
    • When working with an AutomationCommand, the Command and Cart # fields are showing as not being required until you type something in and subsequently remove what was typed in; in either case, you are incorrectly able to save regardless of whether something is entered in these fields or not.

• Premier 2013
  • Fixed
    • The Notes tab on Customer is missing (Premier 2013 only).

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • The Ad-ID field on Copy has been increased slightly to support "piggyback" identifiers (two 12 character codes separated by a space).
    • Modified the "out of the box" (default) skin to utilize Dark Side (instead of Darkroom).
    • Renamed the existing skin that was named Default to Black.
  • Fixed
    • When modifying existing Copy, the Script section being modified alone is not enough to enable the Apply button; thus preventing saving of the change.
    • When adding new Copy, the Cart # field is not set as the default field.
    • When locking a Log that will be using the MustFill feature after a spot has been bumped, the application exits.
    • It is possible that the Contracts on the right hand side of the window don't match selected (filtered) Customer on the left hand side of the window when filtering for a Customer that is currently not already selected.

• Premier 2013
  • Added
    • Initial export and as-play support for the (legacy) CBSI v2.x Log format. See Automation_Systems.
    • Initial as-play support for the Digital Universe Log format. See Automation_Systems.
  • Modified
    • When exporting to the SS32 Automation_System, the messaging around situations causing the export to fail has been significantly improved to better assist in diagnosing the problem in order to get the issue(s) resolved.
    • The CopyList, Contracts and Contract windows have been updated to better reflect "expired" entries regardless of the Skin being currently utilized.
    • When attempting to save a Contract, the save process will now validate whether or not the Logs for the duration of the saved items are opened; if so, you are prevented from saving the Contract until the target Logs are closed. Information is presented as to the Station, date and User for each Log.
    • When entering the a Contract, the background color of the line item(s) have been changed from red to yellow; throughout the software, red = "bad". The act of entering a line item isn't "bad"; yellow represents notice/warning which is more in line with the intent of why these lines are colored in the first place in order to reflect that the Contract is not approved.
    • In order to further reduce confusion, several roles have been renamed to better distinguish the "role" from a "job title". Traffic Manager is now Traffic, Billing Manager is now Billing, Traffic Assistant is now Traffic Read-Only and Billing Assistant is now Billing Read-Only.
    • When encountering a situation where the Log shows that it is open by another person (including the name of that person); the information already presented has been further enhanced to include additional details as to why this could occur are now presented along with additional information as to how to deal with the situation.
    • When utilize the MustFill feature, the Log will now work in two different modes. Mode A (the recommended) is based on the idea that MustFill is a safety net specifically designed to handle the situation where an Automation_System is unable/unwilling to fill the material on their end. Mode A means that you create a "Fill" Customer and populate that Customer with PSA/Promo related Copy. When only one Customer is configured with MustFill material, the Log will do its best to make sure that the same Copy is not back to back. In Mode B, multiple Customers contain Copy that can be used with MustFill. In Mode B, the Log will do its best to not only make sure that the same Copy is not back to back, but will also attempt to make sure that the same Customer is not placed back to back. Because of this, it is possible that Mode B might not MustFill if enough material does not exist to ensure that there is enough material to keep this separation intact.
    • The RCS and Prophet NexGen Automation_Systems exports has been modified so that it will no longer export if one or more cart numbers is blank/missing.
    • Under circumstances where the as-play file is necessary to begin the Log reconciliation and, for whatever reason(s), the file is currently unavailable; the Log now clearly identifies this situation.
    • Renamed existing CBSI to CBSI v1.x under Automation_Systems.
    • The CTRL+S key in the Log has been made less ambiguous; on one hand, it was showing on the main menu as being Save but when pressed it would show a narrowed LogSummary of the highlighted spot. CTRL+S is now used to Save and CTRL+N is now assigned to display the narrowed LogSummary.
    • Considering the official use of "ISCI" was "retired" in 2007; we feel it is high time we officially move to "Ad-ID"; this is mostly just a "label change" and you can continue to consider it an ISCI Code. However, we are also moving from the legacy 8 character support of "ISCI" to the 12 character support of "Ad-ID".
    • The Log editor has been enhanced to include additional "summary" information when it is loading/saving a Log.
    • The Log editor has been modified so that the menus, toolbars, etc. are no longer accessible when loading/saving a Log.
    • When opening the Customer window, the window now appears more quickly.
    • The Log has been updated to reduce the amount of time it takes to remove a single entry from the Invalid Copy tab by 50%.
    • A Refresh tool (under the View main menu) has been added to the Reports selection window.
    • All Reports (windows) have been modified to include a glyph for the Refresh tool (under the View main menu).
    • It is now possible to modify the MustFill field on Avails while working with a Log.
    • When trashing "many" spots using MakeGoods, there is little to no communication that the software is busy.
    • The Rotation field on a Contract line item is now an option that can be enabled in Group options. The default for this option is off.
    • The Spots Per Week column (line items) on the Contract window has been renamed to Schedule to reflect a more generic term for the information being presented.
    • The Audit Trail report has been removed due to currently being inaccurate and incomplete.
  • Fixed
    • If you use the mouse to right click on the Password field when attempting to log into to the software and use the context menu to Paste the password, the OK button is not available.
    • When modifying a line item in the Log, upon trying to save the Log, a database error is presented preventing the Log from being saved.
    • When sorting the list of Contracts in the Contracts window by the Contract number, if revisions are included on the selected Customer, the order of the numbers is not actually in sorted order.
    • When searching for a Contract by number, the Customer is selected; however, in many circumstances, the Contract being located is not automatically being selected.
    • If you try to create a Program with the same name for the same Station, the Program initially appears on the list and then vanishes when you close and open the Template window. We've modified it so that if a Program that has previously been trashed and a new Program with the same name for the same Station is subsequently created, the original is now resurrected.
    • The Retry/Cancel message is not taking into account existing CR and/or LF characters; causing the formatting to be a little "odd".
    • The application exits if you attempt to hold down the delete key in order to remove (without releasing the delete key between each delete; in other words, to automatically repeat) a dozen or so invalid Copy entries on the Log.
    • When adding a new Clock, the exclamation glyph is not clearing after selecting a Station as it should.
    • The Dashboard appears to not recognize "Stations" that aren't "Stations" (that are surrounded by the square bracket characters with regards to locking of the Logs.
    • When adding/modifying an Agency, the cursor is defaulting to the 'EDI#' field instead of the Name field.
    • When working with Automation_Systems, the linked checkbox appears to be only looking at the name of the Automation_System. It should take into account the tag (if applicable) as part of this check since it is possible that the two, under very specific circumstances, could be different for the export and import files.
    • When working duplicating a Rotation on a Contract and then modifying the start and/or end date so that the existing Copy becomes invalid or "incomplete", the Copy list is still displaying the Copy as green instead of yellow or red.
    • When modifying the Roles of a User, unchecking the check box next to a Station appears to clear out the Roles; however, when saved and reopened, the Station and Roles are not actually saved. If you uncheck the actual Roles, this does save.
    • The Log doesn't appear to be remembering the column header and grouping layout between different states of the Logs (working, locked, reconcile, invoiced).
    • The narrowed LogSummary (Log) would fail to automatically filter if a Customer name contained one or more apostrophes.
    • If you open the Log by using a Dashboard task item and you immediately close the Log using the X button (effectively before the Log has completely loaded), the application exits.
    • When viewing a Customer under the circumstances where Finance Charges are enabled and the Customer was created/modified at a time when Finance Charges were not enabled, the Finance Charge field will be blank. The Finance Charge field is not presented as being "invalid" and any change made to the Customer will be prevented from being saved since the Finance Charge field is invalid (but not obviously shown as being invalid). To work around this issue until the next update, please verify that the Finance Charge field has a value under these conditions and the OK button should become visible upon fixing the value; allowing you to progress forward with you other change(s).
    • Because it "doesn't do anything", the prompt for a reason why an Invoice, Payment or Adjustment was modified should be removed.
    • When saving a modified Template as a Format, the Save option is being incorrectly cleared since the modified Template has yet to be saved. (It is being "saved" as a Format; however, the Template hasn't actually been saved.)
    • The Pay tab in Billing has been updated so that only Payment and Trade Payment transactions are evaluated (adjustments are purposefully excluded).
    • The printed Invoice shows "Sub Total"; should be "Subtotal".

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • When entering a Contract that is utilizing Skip Weeks; if the start date and the days of the week don't really "make sense", instead of "trying to make it work" the system now rejects the schedule due to be invalid/confusing.
    • The word Copy has been replaced with the word Rotation on the Contract line item window to better reflect the intent of the field.
    • Slight performance gain when loading Invoice details on the Billing window.
    • Performance improvements when loading a Log related to retrieving bump spot(s) and make good spot(s).

• Premier 2013
  • Added
    • Initial support for Digital Jukebox as-play log import.
  • Modified
    • When modifying a cart number on an Invoice, the name of the Copy will now replace the existing description of the Invoice item. If you choose the None entry, the description will be cleared/emptied/erased.
    • When opening a Contract, the lower left hand portion of the window has been modified to include the current "task" taking place during the loading process.
    • Improved (reduced) the time required to load the Contract window specifically during the determining of sales people (more specifically, determining "historical" sales people; sales people who are currently not configured with a commission but have been configured as a sales person on one or more Contracts, Invoices, payments and/or adjustments.
  • Fixed
    • Under certain circumstances, especially with several years worth of Contracts, large amount of rotations, and more than usual amounts of Copy; revising or duplicating a Contract can take a ridiculous amount of time (beyond 15 minutes, the application appears to be locked up) to initially process before you can make modifications.
    • When generating a Statement and it includes the Aging table, the "31-60" column is incorrectly titled "30-60".
    • The application will fail to start if: a) adding a new Station, b) selecting an AutomationSystem this Station that requires at least one Category, c) exiting the software before creating at least one Category.
    • When add or removing an Add-On, the existing options in the Group window that are currently active are being set to inactive; effectively setting the system back to "factory default". This is not the desired behavior; the existing options should be retained whenever adding/removing any Add-On that does not affect the current options.
    • Under some circumstances, when checking the checkbox for "Usable by MUSTFILL" on the Copy window, MUSTFILL might not recognize the Copy as something that it could utilize.

• Premier 2013
  • Fixed
    • As Administrator (and Administrator Assistant in 2014), the Options menu of the Contract window is always visible regardless of whether or not it is an existing or new Contract. It should not be there for a new Contract.

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • When removing an off-air revenue item from an Invoice, the item will now automatically be marked Trashed preventing it from (possibly) immediately being placed back on the same Invoice as soon as the background invoicing processor starts. Typically people use the SpotDetail window to Force OAR... and then Force Trashed, the removal of an off-air revenue item on an Invoice now does the same thing as a single step.
  • Fixed
    • When encountering "missing copy" on Log where the spot has no valid Copy was previously placed on the log from the MakeGood tab and the Log was previously saved and then (after it's been previously saved in this manner), attempting to remove the spot from the Log and consequently attempting to save the Log can cause the system to exit to windows under conditions where the number of current items on the bump list are less than the number of items in the MakeGood list.

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • When working with the SpotDetail, MakeGood and Invoice windows, the capabilities based on role have been slightly modified based on feedback. Administrators are now required to reverse an invoice (if it was finalized) before they are able to reverse any individual spots/off-air revenue. Administrator assistants now have the ability to reverse spots/off-air revenue for any invoices that have not already been finalized. Traffic managers have the ability to reverse spots from a locked log so that they can be rescheduled to tomorrow. Rescheduling and reversal of spots are prohibited if the target spot exists on a log (whether on the log or the bump of said log) if someone is actively in that associated log. If the Traffic Manager is also a Billing Manager, they are able to reverse spots off a gathering invoice. Administrators, Administrator Assistants and Traffic Managers can trash and reverse trashed spots.
    • It is no longer possible to utilize "correction mode" for a Contract that has had one or more Invoices finalized (approved). To use "correction mode" on this sort of Contract, it is now necessary to reverse all related Invoices prior to doing so.
  • Fixed
    • The modification introduced in 1707 "When initially opening the Billing window and clicking on a tab while the information is still being retrieved, the tab no longer resets to the default upon the information being retrieved." caused the Process... button to not be visible when items are initially checked. Either toggling any individual item and/or selecting another tab clears this issue up. Until the next update, please use one of these as a temporary work around.
    • When viewing a gathering Invoice, it is possible to add a scheduled spot directly to the Invoice (bypassing the Log process). Additionally, it is also possible to resurrect a spot that has been previously trashed for this purpose. When resurrecting a trashed spot, bypassing the Log and placing it directly onto an Invoice, the Invoice tally is not being updated to reflect the resurrected spot which causes the Invoice to incorrectly stall during the Billing process (the Invoice appears to have more spots than is expected).

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • Added icons to the context menus on Customer and Contract windows.
    • Instead of just disabling a context menu item (but still visible) on the Customer and Contract windows when something is not available, the menu entry is now completely removed (when it is not enabled) in order to remove/reduce confusion.
    • CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R to "reset all layouts" has been removed since there is a menu item available to do the same thing.
    • CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R (since it is no longer needed and can be repurposed) is now used to automatically start PSR.EXE (Problem Steps Recorder, part of Microsoft Windows) in recording mode with 100 maximum screen captures, a maximum log size of 10MB, automatically creating a file name (using todays date and time) and location (a PSR folder located on your Windows Desktop) upon stopping the recording. The recording will automatically be stopped when you exist RT, saving the current recording. If the recording is still active after exiting RT (unexpectedly), the next time you start RT, PSR.EXE recording will be stopped, saving the current recording. This key combination is only available when the Dashboard is the window that contains the current keyboard focus. This is a "toggle" and it is persistent across RT executions.
    • Several (beta) options in Group have been modified, removed and/or consolidated under the Enhanced Permissions section. The Traffic Manager related options have been removed and the Administrator Assistant ones have been renamed to be more clear in their purpose as well as verified as to their current functionality. By focusing the options on Administrator Assistant, things can be made more clear and the overall intent can be achieved. If you wish to extend (delegate) Administrator capabilities, it is now limited to only the Administrator Assistant role. In order for someone to have access to the "modified" Administrator Assistant role, the Administrator is the person that needs to modify the User account accordingly.
    • The Scheduling and Billing portion of the Customer has been modified by moving the Billing Cycle, Revenue Source, Revenue Type and other optionally related "billing" related fields from the Scheduling tab to the Billing Tab.
    • When initially opening the Billing window and clicking on a tab while the information is still being retrieved, the tab no longer resets to the default upon the information being retrieved.
  • Fixed
    • The Enco automation Log export has been modified to allow an A (the "factory" default), L, S or N character immediately following the 5 digit (numeric) cart number to control the "transition" of event exported (and imported into the Enco automation system). This provides the ability to control the transition on a cart number by cart number basis, overriding the default. The "factory" default can be changed by using the Station Identifier field in Station when configuring the automation system settings. See Enco.

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • Due to the care that should be given to make goods, the Execute Automatic Placement tool on the Make Good list in the Log window has been removed. This tool has proven to create more "clean up" work, which far outweighs the perceived time savings provided by having such a tool.

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • The After Aired report now displays the "revision chain" Contract number instead of the "internal" number.
    • The Log now includes Avail Type for spots on the Log (in addition to bump and make good lists).
  • Fixed
    • When creating a new Contract for an Agency that is configured EDI, the "three boxes" aren't correctly being displayed. To temporarily work around this, use the Agency drop down to modify the Agency to another and back; this will refresh the detection of the EDI settings and correctly display the "three boxes".
    • The summary display on the Contract is "corrupted" depending on the size of the window; to temporarily work around this, modify the height of the window until you can see the summary clearly.
    • When modifying existing Copy and the User doing so does not have permission for all Stations, the selected Station is being incorrectly set to All Stations.
    • When modifying a User account to be Administrator (check box), the existing defined roles for each Station are disabled; however, they don't appear to be removed upon saving the User and should be. This usually isn't a problem except when combined with the SalesAddOn due to how that Add-On effectively restricts permissions for those who are configured as a Sales role and the User being modified was, at some point up until the point of being modified as an Administrator was set to a Sales role for at least one Station. To temporarily work around this issue, make sure that all existing roles for each Station of a User are unchecked prior to checking the Administrator check box.
    • The bump and make good sections of the Log window have been modified so as to no longer include spots that are beyond their respective billing periods. These spots will need to be manually rescheduled.
    • Under some circumstances the Tools menu on the Dashboard is not visible which prevents access to the ability to change what skin is currently being utilized.

• Premier 2013
  • Modified
    • Modified the Digital Universe automation log export so that the end of the file contains an extra "blank line".
    • The Billing Freq column in Contracts has been renamed to Billing Cycle.
    • The dashboard notification for invoices waiting to be finalized now includes the total net amount in addition to the count.
  • Fixed
    • When there is more than one Station and a User account is only configured with a role for some (but not all) of the Stations, when this particular User account attempts to several of the following, the application exits. You can work around this issue by enabling this User account for all Stations using a role that is either read-only (Traffic Assistant or Billing Assistant) or "does nothing" (Production).
      • Create a new Contract and add a new off-air revenue line item, the application exits.
      • Open an existing Contract that is currently pending, right clicks on an existing line item of the pending Contract and chooses the Duplicate... tool.
    • When exporting to SS32 and there is an export problem due to missing/invalid cart number and/or category, the file is created but incomplete; it should be removed (not exist) when this occurs.

• Premier 2013
  • Fixed
    • When using the Times/Rates Invoice type and there are more than 5 spots with the same date, rate and description, the 6th or more time is not being included on the printed/exported Invoice. The number of rows was being incorrectly calculated, the report was confused with the Times type for this particular columns sizing information.
    • When using the Times/Rates Invoice type and there are exactly 5 spots with the same date, rate and description, the seconds portion of the 5th time is being truncated. This issue is resolved by limiting the number of time columns to 4 instead of 5 and the layout has been adjusted to account for there being only 4 columns instead of (sort of) 5.
    • When adding a spot from a Contract directly to an Invoice (one that wasn't on a Log) and this spot is currently trashed, the projections are not updated to reflect that the spot is no longer trashed.
    • When running the Customer report, the Separation Type column is not displaying anything.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Modified
    • There were several menu items on the Templates window that did not have icons (glyphs) associated; this update corrects this oversight.
    • It was previously not possible to delete the last entry (singular) from the AutomationCommands window; this behavior has been modified to allow the last item to be deleted.
    • It was previously not possible to delete AvailTypes or AutomationCommands directly from the Templates window; this has been changed.
    • When deleting Programs, Log Notes and/or Templates directly from the Templates window, the are you sure you want to delete prompt is now asked in triplicate.
    • The permissions with regards to Delete of AvailTypes, AutomationCommands, Programs, Log Notes and Templates directly from the Templates window has been modified to only be accessible to SuperAdmin.
    • The indicator for which item is currently selected in available items tree of Templates window no longer disappears when the tree no longer has input focus.
    • When adding/modifying an avail on a Template, the "Add"/"Modify Avail" window will evaluate both the time and length to attempt to prevent numbers that cause an invalid Template to be created by preventing overlapping avails.
  • Fixed
    • The Legacy Order # column in Contracts is available regardless of the option (see Group) being enabled.
    • When modifying the Period or dates on Reports, the current information on the report is cleared and a "Please click here to reload the report..." message is displayed at the top. Clicking on this message causes the report to reload using the current information entered. However, in one particular circumstance where you do not press tab after modifying either the start or end date (in the case of "Custom"), clicking on this message reloads the report with the previous date since the modification has not been committed (by pressing tab, for example). The "Please click here to reload the report..." window element has been replaced so that, regardless of pressing tab to commit the change, the change is committed due to focus being moved to this replaced element; causing the correct information to be utilized when reloading the report.
    • The New tool is presented in the context menu on the Templates window when the Templates node is currently selected and should not be as it doesn't make any sense.
    • The Save As menu item under Templates on the Templates window is not enabled when opening an existing Template or Format.
    • The discount amounts on a Contract Confirmation are higher than the actual gross amounts when the discount on the Contract is 100%. The discount amount on a Contract Confirmation should considered an estimated discount. In an attempt to make this a little more accurate, we were taking the "current" total of the Contract (could be different depending on the Group options selected) and dividing the revenue by the number of spots to determine a per spot discount; however, this appears to have resulted in a rounding issue that is less desirable than calculating based on the total "current" revenue. The change to make this a "bit more accurate" has been reversed because of this issue where a 100% discount causes this to be very undesirable; basically appearing that you owe a refund to the client instead of the Contract being zeroed. It is important to consider that the discount, and, if using discounts, the Agency Commission is an estimate; it is very possible that the actual Invoice might reflect a slightly higher actual applied discount (rare, but still possible) as the Invoice calculates the discount on a per line item basis. It should be noted that this issue was isolated to just the actual Confirmation; the Revenue Projection report and Billing reflect the proper amount(s).
• Premier 2014
  • Added
    • It is now possible to use the CTRL+C (Copy), CTRL+X (Cut) and CTRL+V (Paste) key combinations on the Templates window to edit the sequence if items. When pasting an item, the currently highlighted item is used to determine the default start time of the item being pasted.
    • On the Template window, the Insert key will now do the same action as double-clicking on an available item (in the tree view) except will take into account the current row that is highlighted in the template to help reduce the amount of typing that would need to be done.
    • When working with Templates, modifying the time and/or length now checks based on the "window of time" and not just the starting time.
    • The Reports window now includes a mode where you can significantly reduce the "noise" (number of reports) to just those that you regularly use. This mode is referred to as the Favorites view and you can toggle this by using the View->Favorites menu. To manage items on the Favorites view, use the context menu (right click) to Add to favorites or Remove from favorites. The settings related to this feature are per machine/per Microsoft Windows(tm) account. The MyViews settings are also isolated (saved separately) between the two views.
  • Modified
    • The Reports window now defaults to the Favorites view (see above).
    • The Reports window has been modified so that the Experimental Reports are no longer visible by default. To have these Reports included in the visible list, use the View menu and click on Include experimental reports.
    • The Reports window has been modified so that the Accrual Reports are no longer visible by default. To have these Reports included in the visible list, use the View menu and click on Include accrual reports.
    • When working with Formats/Templates, dragging an item from the left hand side of the window to the right; the item under the mouse cursor that you "drop" the new item onto will be used to determine the default time for the new item. The time of the new item will be based on the current items time and, if available, length.
    • When adding AvailTypes items to Formats/Templates; the length now defaults to 30 seconds and the unit count defaults to 1. When modifying the length on this window (when either adding or modifying), the number of units is automatically recalculated based on the whole number of 30 second intervals.
    • The Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy report has been modified by renaming the existing Contract # column to Contract/Line and a new (optional) Contract # column has been added that just represents the base Contract number. This column, unlike the Contract/Line, can be used to group (see MyViews).
    • The SpotDetail window has been enhanced to include a additional Spot Status category to reflect spots that are either Available or Bumped but are currently scheduled for a Log that is Locked, Reconciled or Invoiced; these will now be placed into the Make Good Spot Status category (instead of the previous Available or Bumped).
    • It is now possible to delete Trashed Contracts; requires Administrator role.
    • When modifying a spot using the Reschedule tool, all Invoices associated with the Contract that the spot belongs is refreshed as to make sure the target spot tally is current.
    • When adding items to on the Templates window, the item that was just added will now automatically be highlighted.
    • The Broadcast Accrual report has been made obsolete with the addition of the various accrual edition of other Reports and thus has been moved into the experimental category of reports since it will be removed in the near future.
  • Fixed
    • The Make Good report and the Log windows are showing the "internal" Contract number instead of the correct "revision chain" number. This has been resolved.
    • Bumped spots are not able to be Rescheduled from the SpotDetail window.
    • The week day field on the Off Air Revenue window is incorrectly enabled when viewed after the Contract has been approved.
    • When duplicating a Contract that has one or more off-air revenue line items or an individual Off Air Revenue item on a Contract, the day of week is not transitioning properly to the new line(s) if is a day other than Monday.
    • When modifying a Contract Invoice Type from a value other than None to None, the Billing Cycle is not being set to None and should be.
    • When attempting to view a Contract on the Log, any revised Contracts that are a .5 or more are being rounding to the next number and opening the next higher Contract instead of the correct one.
    • When canceling a Contract from the Contracts window, the cancel immediately date is sometimes not getting set in some circumstances to the appropriate date; leaving you to have to manually determine the date to cancel. This has been resolved.
    • When combining more than 2 Contract Confirmations that are part of a revision chain, the printed Confirmation is not including the revisions between the first and last. This has been fixed so that all revisions between the currently selected (printed) to the first are included.
• EZ-NET
  • Modified
    • When attempting to match Copy that is imported with existing Copy based on ISCI; the system now takes into account Automatic Cart Number Assignment and it's ability to automatically recycle. If a Copy exists with the same ISCI; however, the cart number assigned to it has been reused by another piece of Copy, the import will create a new cart number instead of trying to reuse the previous one.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Modified
    • The Revenue Projection and Revenue Projection (Accrual) Reports Billing Type columns have been renamed to Billing Cycle.
  • Fixed
    • When modifying a Log by first clearing an avail of all spots, then removing the avail from the log and then modifying another avails start time, the application exits.
    • In the circumstance where one or more spots have been forcefully removed (Placement Summary or SpotDetail windows, for example), opening a Log that contains avails that now have "holes" due to these spots being removed, the Log doesn't completely load 100% successfully. Icons on the toolbar are missing and functionality is incomplete.
    • Under specific circumstances the Log will incorrectly identify Copy as missing when moving a spot from the bump list to the Log and the rotation contains Copy that is "illegal" for the current Log and the "illegal" Copy is currently marked as next.
    • When running the Inventory report, the Total column is not showing any values in the summary area(s) (totals).
• Premier 2014
  • Added
    • The Invoice and Invoice (Accrual) Reports now include a Billing Cycle (optional) column.
    • When using the Cancel tool available through the context menu of a Contract on the Contracts window, an additional dialog is now presented that provides an opportunity to specify particular date to cancel (into the future). The prompt defaults to canceling the Contract ASAP.
• EZ-NET
  • Fixed
    • When using an empty time list to reset a particular day to not exclude anything, the EzScript execution generates a syntax error.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Retracted
    • The Log export modifications applied in the recent releases have been reversed and Premier 2013 has reverted to the way it was prior to the modifications. Premier 2014 has also had this functionality reversed; but has been replaced by something slightly different (see below) to accommodate the extreme polar opposites requested by several clients.
• Premier 2014
  • Added
    • A new option has been added to the Settings->Group options that allows you to modify the behavior of the Log exports as it relates to the "description" column. By default, the Copy name is favored; placing the Copy name first and the Customer name second (separated by a "dash" character). Enabling the Favor Customer Name For Automation option (See Group) will swap these names; placing the Customer name first and followed by the Copy name (separated by a "dash" character).
  • Modified
    • All Log exports (Automation_Systems) that contain a "description" column have been updated so that the Copy name is favored (if available) over the Customer name. The Customer name is automatically placed after the Copy name with a "dash" character as a separation.
  • Fixed
    • When running the replacement to the Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy report, although the data is correct, the column headers are off by one day; they are displaying as if the report is run for today instead of tomorrow.
• Sales Add-On
  • Modified
    • In Premier 2014, it is now possible for the Salesperson to see the PendingContracts window in order to quickly review whether they have any outstanding Contracts that have not been approved.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Modified
    • The Times and Times/Rate Invoice have been modified by reducing the width of the Times column to increase the width of the Description column by approximately 30%.
    • When exporting to SS32 or WideOrbit Automation Systems, the description column is now formatted as customer name, dash, copy name, space, ISCI. If any of these do not exist, formatting is adjusted gracefully.
  • Fixed
    • When a Log contains one or more empty avails and you attempt to open the LogSummary window, the application exits.
• Premier 2014
  • Added
    • The Payment History report has been added to replace the Payment History (Monthly), Payment History (Quarterly) and Payment History (Annual). Highlights of this change include:
      • All the information across these three Reports is now available on this single report so you can mix and match quarterly information with monthly.
      • Includes additional columns not on the previous versions such as Agency, Station, Sales Person, Owner, Revenue Source, Revenue Type, State, Postal and Currency.
      • Supports the optional Fiscal Offset capability, if enabled.
      • Complete support for automatic summarization.
      • Supports the Reports save as feature.
    • The Reconcilation (Accrual) report has been added to reflect all numbers on an accrual basis.
  • Modified
    • The Contract report has been modified as follows:
      • Modified the Status column so that Canceled and Revised are now displayed, where appropriate.
      • Added a Cancel/Revise column to reflect the effective date of a revision/cancel.
      • Added a NX$ to reflect the net trashed/canceled/revised amount (if any).
      • Added a GE$ and NE$ columns to reflect the estimated billing amount for the Contract; these columns automatically subtract the GX$ and NX$ columns from the G$ and N$ columns.
      • Renamed the Revenue (g) to G$ and Revenue (n) to N$.
      • Modified so that the GE$ column is now shown by default (instead of the G$ column).
    • The Reconcilation report has been renamed to from Accounts Receivable Reconciliation and now includes an Owner column. The Name column has been renamed to Customer. Several other columns have also had minor adjustments made to their names to include a $ character.
    • The Customer report has been modified so that the Sales Person column has been renamed to Owner so that it aligns better with the rest of the Reports.
    • The Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy, Goal, Goal (Accrual), Revenue Projection and Revenue Projection (Accrual) Reports have been updated to includes an Owner column.
    • The Spot Rate report has been updated so that it now includes an Owner column, renamed the Gross Rate to G.Rate and Net Rate to N.Rate.
    • The Emailed Invoice report has been removed.
    • The Billing History, Billing History (Accrual), Annual Sales Review and Annual Sales Review (Accrual) Report has been updated as follows:
      • Added an Owner column.
      • Gross columns have been renamed using the G$ month number short form.
      • Net columns have been renamed using the N$ month number short form.
      • Quarterly columns are formatted as G$/N$ Q1-4.
      • Annual columns are named G$ An and N$ An.
    • The Commission report has had the following changes:
      • Added an Owner column.
      • Renamed Spot Count to Spot #, Sales Commission % to Sales %, Sales Commission to Sales $, Net Amount to N$, Finance Charge to Finance $, Tax on Tax to Tax on Tax $, Tax to Tax $, Fee to Fee $, Agency Commission to Agency $, Discount to Discount $ and Gross to G$.
    • A slight modification on the server has been applied that will no longer "exclude" (hide) Contracts that exist but contain no line items. These will show up in red text if encountered and depending on role(s).
  • Fixed
    • When using the Split tool on a Contract, the resulting Contracts are not updating the cached projections.
    • When printing Confirmations with the Include Station Summary option enabled and a Contract contains no active spots, the software exits.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Added
    • It is now possible to target WinAmp's EXTM3U (*.m3u) and EXTM3U8 (*.m3u8) as target Automation_Systems. Please bear in mind that these formats are extremely limited and do not offer what would traditionally be expected as an "automation file" (no real support to "schedule"; effectively just "a list").
  • Modified
    • When modifying the print option for a Customer for both Confirmations and Invoices to be enabled (when it was previously not enabled), any existing approved Contracts and/or finalized Invoices will be automatically flagged as having been printed. This enabled print option will take affect for all future Contracts and/or Invoices for this Customer as they become approved/finalized.
    • All Log exports (Automation Systems) that contain a "description" column have been updated so that the Copy name is favored (if available) over the Customer name. The Customer name is only utilized in circumstances where Copy name is not available. Several exports have been updated to also append the ISCI (if available) to the exported description.
    • The Approved column in Contracts is no longer visible by default.
    • When printing Invoices that generates a number of pages that causes an 'out of memory' exception to occur; the system will now attempt to gracefully recover from this situation by presenting a message stating such and offer suggestions on how to reduce/remove the issue. Note, this situation is significantly less likely to occur on a 64-bit OS compared to a 32-bit OS.
    • When working with the Batch Print window in AR and there are 19,000+ invoices in the list, the act of filtering the data processes what is currently checked so that the items that are filtered are unchecked in the process of being removed from view. This process, when there are 19,000+ (a specific example) can take a significant amount of time and takes even longer on computers that are not as "modern" as others. In the previous versions, this process just appeared to "lock-up" the system while it was busy working through the list as there was no indication that this process was taking place or any indication of how much longer it might be. This has been remedied by providing a progress indicator.
    • The New and Close buttons located on the Contracts window have been moved slightly to better align with other elements on the window.
    • The Export tool on the Billing window has been moved below the Print Preview menu entry for consistency.
    • The Export tool on the Billing window has been updated so that the default filename matches the title of the document; previously was generically labeled as "Billing" regardless of which tab was being utilized.
    • All Reports that contain the Salesperson simple list (left hand pane) have been modified so that any Salesperson included that is no longer active has the word (Inactive) appended to their name(s).
    • Modified the Broadcast Accrual report End Date column so that Invoices that have not been finalized use the billing cycle date instead of the current (in-progress, can and most likely will change) effective date so that short broadcast Invoices can be filtered more effectively; if the need is there to do so.
  • Fixed
    • When role is set to Traffic Manager, all Customers are visible in AR and shouldn't be.
    • When role is set to Billing Manager, all Customers are visible in Contracts and shouldn't be.
    • A handful of Reports are being titled as None instead of the names that they should be.
    • The Duplicate, Create Package, Trash and Delete tools on the context menu in Contracts are available even if the User does not have appropriate permission for all of the Stations attached to the Contract.
    • The Confirmations and projections are not calculating the Contract discount in the same manner. The Contract discount field (optional), when used, is calculated based on a per-spot basis by the time it reaches an Invoice; this is to keep consistent with regards to any sort of rounding errors that can be introduced. The Confirmation and projections have been updated to calculate in the same manner as the Invoice.
    • Copy is not being included on a Log as MustFill. If Copy was converted from TrafficXP and, prior to transition, was flagged as Fill; the Copy would work. If Copy was created in Premier 2013/2014, it would not work. This has been corrected.
• Premier 2014
  • Added
    • The Contracts window now includes Print, Print Preview and Export tools on the File main menu; the list used is the visible Contracts for the selected Customer.
    • The AR window now includes an Export tool on the File main menu; the list used is the visible transactions for the selected Customer.
    • It is now possible to reschedule from the SpotDetail and MakeGoodDetail windows in the same manner as the reschedule on the Log.
    • The Annual Sales Review report has been updated and returned into active service. It now displays projected revenue using the gross estimate numbers. For additional details on the gross estimate numbers, see the Revenue Projection report.
    • Introducing three new Accrual reports; the Billing History (Accrual) report, Invoice (Accrual) report and Annual Sales Review (Accrual) report. These reports are similar to the their non-accrual counterparts except display all revenue based on calendar month accrual basis instead of cash basis.
  • Modified
    • The Log has been updated so that whenever automatic placement is executing, the window is "disabled" and the current activity is reflected in the lower left hand portion of the window (status).
    • The Aging, Aging (by Month), Invoice, Invoice (Accrual) and Contract Reports have been updated to include an optional Owner column that reflects the SalesPerson that the items Customer is set to.
    • The Customer report has been updated to include additional columns for eAddress (Agency), eAddress (Confirmations), eAddress (Invoices), eAddress (Statements), eAddress (Times), Email (Confirmations), Email (Statements), Print (Confirmations), Print (Invoices) and Print (Statements). The Email Times and Email Invoices columns have been renamed to Email (Times) and Email (Invoices). The Email column has been removed.
    • When duplicating an existing Contract and you change the currently selected Customer; the existing rotation(s) will now be cleared since the Copy may not exist on the target Customer. A warning is provided that will remind you of this and you can cancel the change upon seeing the warning.
    • The Export tool on the Billing window has been updated so that Microsoft Excel exports are similar in processing to how Reports export.
    • The Contract number displayed in the window title bar has been updated to reflect the revision chain number instead of presenting the internal number.
    • When exporting a Contract from the Contracts and Contract windows, the filename will now be constructed using the revision chain number instead of the internal number.
    • The Approved column in Contracts has been removed.
    • It is now possible to "group by" the Status column for the Customer list on the Contracts and AR windows.
    • The Created, Created By, Approved, Approved By and Canceled By columns have been removed from the Contracts window.
    • The Canceled column has been updated to reflect the actual cancelation date (new "end date"), not the date that the Contract was canceled.
    • The Contract window has been enhanced to include a status bar that includes, if appropriate, the created, approved and cancel/revised information.
    • When working with the Batch Print window in AR and there are 19,000+ invoices in the list, the act of filtering the data processes what is currently checked so that the items that are filtered are unchecked in the process of being removed from view. This process, when there are 19,000+ (a specific example) can take a significant amount of time and takes even longer on computers that are not as "modern" as others. In the previous versions, this process just appeared to "lock-up" the system while it was busy working through the list as there was no indication that this process was taking place or any indication of how much longer it might be. This has been remedied by completely reviewing the process that is taking place and applied a significant of performance tuning changes to address the problem. Additionally, the mouse cursor changes to the wait cursor during this processing to provide an additional indication that the process it taking place.
    • The approving of a Contract from the Contracts window has been slightly modified to include the creation of prior days (targeting today or prior) off-air revenue Invoices as part of the overall transaction of approving the Contract so that if any problem occurs, including during the processing of the off-air revenue Invoices, the whole process is rolled back until the problem can be resolved. Prior to this change, the Contract would be approved and if the Invoice portion failed, you'd have the approved Contract but the Invoice would not exist.
    • The SpotDetail window now allows the context menu tools for Force Invoiced for spots that are currently Bumped.
    • The SpotDetail window now uses the target date of the spot instead of the end date of the Invoice when using the Force Invoice tool. Additionally, if there is only one valid Copy available, this Copy is automatically selected and the Invoice line item description is set to the Copy name automatically.
  • Fixed
    • When approving a Contract that contains an off-air revenue line item that starts on or before today and the billing cycle is set to Begin of Schedule, the process to generate Invoices for off-air revenue is being executed prior to the begin of schedule processing causing the begin of schedule process to be aborted since the Invoice being created because of the today or prior off-air revenue being processed to great a gathering Invoice. This is now handled in the proper sequence.
    • When approving a Contract from the Contracts window using the context menu Approve tool, the Begin of Schedule Invoice is not being created.
    • The Cancel tool on Contracts is not canceling a Contract completely if the Contract has not started. It is trying to cancel (set the end date) the "day that it starts" instead of "the day before" which is leaving the "first day" not canceled.
    • The Approve, Cancel, Revise, Split, Undo Cancel and Undo Revise tools on the context menu in Contracts are available even if the User does not have appropriate permission for all of the Stations attached to the Contract.
    • If a Customer has the CreditPolicy set to None, the Group logo does not print on the Statement.
    • If a Customer has the Statement Type set to None, it is incorrectly being included in the PrintStatements and EmailStatements windows if, for some reason, the Print or Email option is set. Two things have been done. First, there is additional checking to verify that the Statement Type is set to None; if so, then the Print and Email values are forced to No if they are currently set to Yes. Going forward, when adding/updating a Customer and the Statement Type is set to None, the fields for Print and Email will also be set to No. The second part of this has already been done from the user interface side; we've also enhanced the server side to re-verify, just to be absolutely sure to handle situations where someone has converted from Traffic 1234, TrafficXP, Essentials or Premier 2013.
• Sales Add-On
  • Modified
    • (Premier 2014) A Customer is now visible (available) in the Contracts and AR windows to a Salesperson if the Customer is set to a Salesperson of None. The idea is that a Customer who has a Salesperson set to None is a Customer that is set to a "free-for-all" status; effectively meaning that the Customer belongs to everyone.
    • (Premier 2014) A Salesperson in relationship to Contracts has been enhanced to handle the concept of Customer ownership. If a Customer "belongs" to a particular Salesperson, then the Salesperson can see all Contracts for the Customer regardless of whether or not each individual Contract "belongs" to them or not.
    • (Premier 2014) The same "free-for-all" concept related to a Customer being set to a Salesperson of None carries through to what a Salesperson in Contracts. In a "free-for-all" state, the Contracts for a Customer belong to "everyone" and are thus visible to all Salespeople regardless of who the individual Contracts "belong" to.
    • (Premier 2014) To make things a little more clear as to "ownership" of a Customer account by a Salesperson, the Contracts window now displays the Customers in such a way that a Customer that is not "owned" by the Salesperson is shown in italics. Customer accounts that do belong to this Salesperson are shown normally.
    • The Balance column in AR is temporarily removed for the Sales and Sales Manager roles until it can be retooled.
• EZ-NET
  • Added
    • It is now possible to control what is imported from a network using a EzScript such as Set Tuesday Exclude Times ("07:05","08:05"). This will act as a pre-processor during the actual import process and automatically exclude any matching times from being imported; effectively as if they do not exist. The final result of the import will only include the number of scheduled units kept and automatically import the associated Copy excluding, of course, the exclusions. (See EZ-NET.)
  • Modified
    • When using the custom web browser for Texas State Networks, clicking on the name of the client in order to follow TSN's instructions for providing a make good, the "please wait..." message will now disappear and the check box that they wanted to show will now be visible. Additionally, when clicking on the "isci code", the audio will now download as expected and the "please wait..." message will now disappear as one would expect; most likely this will launch your default audio player (which defaults to Windows Media Player).
    • If 'Cumulus' is down "in maintenance mode", the fetch process will gracefully skip to the next NetworkShow in the list.
  • Fixed
    • Cumulus appears to prematurely publish their NetworkSchedule weeks; specifically, missing the ISCI and this causes the import to attempt to match up a blank ISCI with other Copy in the system that also contains a blank ISCI causing the same piece of Copy to attempt to be used for all of the entries. This is obviously not the desired result and the import for Cumulus has been updated to account for this; specifically, the NetworkSchedule will no longer be imported if one or more items for the week are missing the ISCI.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Modified: The time field, for example on a ContractLineItem, has been enhanced to handle situations where someone types in a "00:60". If this sort of entry is encountered, the value will automatically be converted to "01:00".
• Premier 2014
  • Added: It is now possible to export the SpotDetail information on a Contract to your choice of several electronic document formats.
  • Added: As a "super-admin", it is now possible to delete a Debit Adjustment.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Modified: The Customer window no longer suppresses the email related fields due to EmailSettings not being configured on a particular computer.
  • Modified: When, as "super-admin", the delete functionality is utilized, the question asking if you are sure is asked in triplicate to help prevent accidental deletions.
  • Fixed: When pressing F1 on Reports that were created using the "save as" feature, the web browser goes to a page that does not exist instead of going to the base report documentation as one would expect.
• Premier 2014
  • Added: It is now possible, as "super-admin", to:
    • Undo a cancel of a Contract.
    • Undo a revise of a Contract where the revision date has not already passed.
    • Use "correction mode" on Contract line items of a revision.
  • Modified: The Super Admin, Color Hints and Include ISCI Code on Invoices options (See Group) have been removed; they are now "always on" features.
  • Modified: When modifying the name of Copy that is already contained on one or more Invoices, the description on the Invoice will also be modified as long as it matched the original name of the Copy.
  • Fixed: When either adding/updating an Invoice email address to a Customer and enabling delivery of Invoice via email; existing Invoices are appearing in Billing.
  • Fixed: When either adding/updating an Confirmation email address to a Customer and enabling delivery of Confirmation via email; existing Confirmations are appearing in Orders.
• EZ-NET
  • Modified: The determination of the end times is being processed from the networks in order to include the full hour regardless of what is found has been changed in order to better hand "end-of-day".

• Premier 2013/2014
  • N/A.
• Premier 2014
  • Added: Introducing Contract Soft Approval mode to available options (see Group).
  • Modified: The SpotDetail window is forward looking; in doing so, the ability to "Force Placement" (aka "pull the rug out from under things") feature was set to only be available to Super-Admin (the one and only Administrator). We've updated this to allow any Administrator until such time that the roles/permissions refresh is completed.
  • Modified: The SpotDetail window will no longer allow access to the "force" context menu if the spot is trashed due to being canceled/revised.
  • Modified: When duplicating, revising, "replacing", etc. an existing Contract, the window title now reflects the action that you are doing; previously this just displayed as "NEW".
  • Modified: When attempting to revise a Contract revision that starts in the future, the revise menu is not available.
  • Fixed: When attempting to print the information in the SpotDetail window, the application exits.
• EZ-NET
  • Added: Ability to access the SpotDetail window from an EZ-NET NetworkSchedule.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Added: It is now possible to "save as" the Goal report.
  • Modified: When running a report with criteria that causes an 'out of memory' exception to occur; the report will now attempt to gracefully recover from this situation by presenting a message stating such and resetting the internal data. Note, this situation is less likely to occur on a 64-bit OS compared to a 32-bit OS.
• Premier 2014
  • Added: Added an accrual-basis version of the Goal report called the Goal (Accrual) report.
  • Added: Added Merge Revised Contracts on Confirmations option (See Group) that modifies how Contract Confirmations are printed when revised and/or canceled.
  • Added: Added Use Cancel/Revise Info in Contracts option that will modify the behavior of the End Date and Revenue columns in Contracts with regards to revised and/or canceled (or trashed spots). With this option enabled, these columns will reflect the "current" values, not the originally contracted values.
  • Modified: Several "experimental" reports have been removed due to problems, concerns and/or inconsistencies; many of these will make a return once they are updated to bring in line with recent additions. If you have a particular report that you would like to see return sooner rather than later, please let us know. Note: One of these reports is the Annual Sales Review; if you are looking for a report to provide you with 12 months of projected billing, use the Goal report instead.
  • Modified: It is no longer possible to revise a Contract that hasn't started yet. Please cancel the Contract and use duplicate to "start over". (Update 1677: See Soft Approval in Group options to modify this behavior.)
  • Modified: The View Placement Summary in the Contract and ContractLineItem menu item and resulting window have been removed. On the Contract window, we've added a Spot Detail menu to launch the SpotDetail window; which serves as an overall replacement to the View Placement Summary. This window adds significant amounts of additional details to better diagnose overall status of the individual items of a Contract including original target date, reschedule date (if any), actual log date, scheduled log time, aired time, invoiced date, invoiced time, entered avail type, scheduled avail type (due to Log override), cart # and cart name. When grouping any of these columns, a unit count is also made visible.
• EZ-NET
  • Added: Support for ESPN.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Retracted: Due to feedback, the Invoice report and Accounts Receivable Reconciliation report have been restored to their previous behavior regarding broadcast Invoices. We apologize to everyone for any inconvenience experienced by the change previously made and to those that will experience inconvenience due to this change. We will work to approach this from another direction; one that addresses the two sides equally.
  • Modified: Significantly increased the performance related to retrieving the "rotation cache" when opening a Log. This "rotation cache" is used to determine whether or not a piece of spot placed on the Log has valid Copy.
  • Modified: Added an additional note to the "this log is open by someone else" message in the Log editor to raise awareness that an Administrator has the ability to force close the Log if necessary by using the Open log... window.
  • Modified: When modifying the Copy on a Log during reconciliation; the list of available items is reduced to just those pieces of Copy that are legal for the current date of the Log being reconciled; this is a change to previous behavior of including all Copy for the Customer regardless of whether or not it could legally be placed on the Log being reconciled. If a spot was not reconciled on a Log and was trashed (canceled) after the fact, it will be necessary to go untrash that spot before it can be placed on a Log that has been reversed.
  • Modified: When reversing an invoiced Log, spots weren't committed to an Invoice, associated with the Station, not on any other Log and target this Log were being flagged as "bumped" without regard to their current status. This behavior has been modified so that when an invoiced Log is reversed, these spots are left as they were.
• Premier 2014
  • Added: New option Shift Short Broadcast Invoices Forward. (See Group).
  • Added: When the "this log is open by someone else" message in the Log is presented, will automatically present the Open log... window to either select a different Log or possibly, using extreme care, force close the Log if the other User is verifiably not still editing and are unable or unwilling to re-open the Log to close it gracefully.
  • Modified: Merging an Agency now automatically deletes the merged Agency after merging; previously required an extra step to delete.
  • Modified: If Taxes are enabled, the Tax field on a new Contract is only available for modification if the Billing Cycle is set to something other than None. If the Billing Cycle has a value and is then set to None, the Tax will also automatically be set to None and disabled until Billing Cycle is set to a value other than None.
  • Modified: Based on feedback, modified the Contract Confirmations so that the portion of the revision(s) that is prior to the revision is included on the revised Confirmation. Additionally, if a Contract is canceled, the subsequent printing of a Confirmation will no longer include those spots that were canceled. The projections portion of a Confirmation have also been modified to show the net estimated numbers; thus removing the canceled spots accordingly.
  • Modified: The Include Rotation Summary on Confirmations option has been modified so that the Station call letters are used instead of the configured Station name. (See Group.)
  • Fixed: Administrator Assistant and Traffic Manager do not have the ability to Override Start Date on a new Contract and should be able to; especially with regards to last minute write-on Contracts.
  • Fixed: The GE%/NE% column of the Goal report is calculating against the G$/N$ column, not the GE$/NE$ column; is should be reflecting the estimated gross/net, not the as-entered gross/net.
  • Fixed: When printing (or exporting) a Confirmation and the line items of the Contract are more than what would fit on a single page, the "totals" section is printing on each page; it should only be printing at the end of the list.
  • Fixed: When printing (or exporting) a Confirmation and the options Include Item Comment on Confirmations and Format Line Comment on new line on Confirmations (See Group) and there is more than one line item on the Contract that has a comment; the formatting of the Confirmation goes completely haywire.
  • Fixed: When attempting to apply a "auto-pay" entry to an Invoice that has no defined RevenueType, the application exits due to failure in determining whether or not a trade payment should be applied or not.
  • Fixed: When a Customer has an email address but the Deliver via E-mail option for the Customer is not checked; the Email context menu item in AR is visible and shouldn't be since the Deliver via E-mail is not checked.
  • Fixed: When upgrading from a previous product, Billing window is including invoices for Customers that have the Deliver via E-mail checked regardless of whether or not the Customer has an email address for invoices. This is not an issue with creating (or modifying) a Customer in Premier 2014 as this situation is presented as a blocking error.
• EZ-NET
  • Added: Support for ESPN.
  • Modified: The Network Affidavit report has been updated to handle spots that aired at the same exact time they were scheduled; these were showing a blank time prior to this modification.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Modified: When User has no access to a particular Station, that Station is now completely filtered when opening the CopyList. The "All Station" Copy is still included as, by definition, the Station they do have access to is included as the "All Station" list and the Copy for "All Station" does affect the Stations that they do belong. However, as mentioned in a prior update, a User does not have the ability to modify an "All Stations" piece of Copy unless they are also able to do so for all Stations.
  • Fixed: When a SalesPerson attempts to open one of their own pending Contracts and the application exits. (See SalesAddOn.)
  • Fixed: Salespeople are unable to access the CopyList window under some circumstances. (See SalesAddOn.)
• Premier 2014
  • Added: Contracts now includes additional MyViews columns for Canceled Date, Canceled By, Approved Date, Approved By, Created Date, Created By. Please note that these columns are new and will contain blanks for any Contracts that previously existed; going forward, this information will be populated.

• Premier 2013/2014
  • Fixed: Under specific circumstances the Log editor will incorrectly identify Copy as missing when moving a spot from the bump list to the Log and the rotation contains Copy that is "illegal" for the current Log and the "illegal" Copy is currently marked as next. (See update 1686).
  • Modified: The View->Make Goods menu and View->Pending Contracts menu items have been removed for the Traffic Assistant role on the Contracts window.
  • Modified: Updated the wording on the Copy window regarding the option to include the item as part of the MustFill functionality to state "Usable by MUSTFILL.".
  • Modified: The ability to modify the MustFill option on a piece of Copy is now limited to the Administrators, Administrator Assistants and Traffic Managers roles.
  • Modified: When creating a new piece of Copy, the station list is now filtered based on the User's available permissions; if any Station is removed due to the permissions, the "All Station" entry is also removed.
  • Modified: If the roles defined for an account do not include all stations, the Copy window will now restrict the ability to modify any copy that is for "All Stations"; instead, only copy associated with station(s) that roles are defined are allowed to be modified (assuming the role allows modification). The CopyList window has also been modified to account for stations.
  • Modified: Moved the Create From Package tool in the Contracts context menu so that it is now grouped with the Create Package tool.
  • Modified: The MustFill feature will now pull and recycle when determining what can be used when locking the Log; effectively this means that if there is very little content available to pull from, everything will be utilized, not used twice, until everything has been utilized and then start over (recycle).
  • Modified: Moved the MustFill processing and saving the Log to after the possible prompt that there are one or more Contracts that target this Log that are still pending.
  • Modified: In circumstances where printing a statement for an account that contains invoices that belong to different agencies and one of the agency prior balances is zero; the zero prior balance is now filtered automatically from the statement.
  • Modified: When using the Statement split trade feature, the determination of trade has been expanded to include the adjustment type and/or customer defaults.
  • Modified: The Dashboard message relating to the automation system being defined but not containing a import path has been updated to account for recent changes; specifically the ability to define (or not) different products for import and export.
  • Fixed: When trashing spots from a Contract, if all of the spots for a particular day have been trashed, the Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy report is showing the Copy is missing for that particular day.
  • Modified: When running the Invoice report and/or Accounts Receivable Reconciliation report, broadcast Invoices are included in the "projected billing broadcast month" even if they completed (invoice effective date) in the prior calendar month. The invoice date column for these reflects the effective invoice date (the last invoiced line item) so it would appear, for these types of Invoices, that the Invoice should not be included (but are) since they completed prior to the period from and to dates. When this type of thing occurs, these are Invoices are broadcast related Contracts that, for whatever reason, completed within the broadcast portion of the previous month but belong to the "billing month" specified by the report criteria. The motivation behind this is that a large percentage of our clients compare the Revenue Projection report with the Invoice report and/or Accounts Receivable Reconciliation report to assist in the verification of the Billing process.
  • Modified: The context menu options for Check all and Uncheck all have been added to the MakeGoodCustomer and MakeGoodDetail windows.
  • Modified: When printing Reports, the Filter criteria is now only included if there is an actual active filter.
• Premier 2014
  • Fixed: When right clicking on a canceled contract in the Contracts window, the Split tool is available and shouldn't be since it could cause serious issues.
  • Modified: The Contract column in Contracts will now sort the "magic contract numbers" in more expected manner where they are together. (Note: This may require that a "reset all layouts" be done.)
  • Modified: The Split tool on the Contracts window has been moved on the context menu to just above the Delete tool to reflect that this is a "super admin" capability.
  • Modified: The Revise tool on the Contracts window has been moved to the same section of the context menu as the Approve and Trash tools to keep similar tools grouped together.
  • Modified: The Goal report has been modified to bring in line with the new Revenue Projection report.
  • Modified: The column headers of the Revenue Projection report, Revenue Projection (Accrual) report and Goal report and the Projections tab on the Contracts window have been modified so that it is easier to utilize the list of columns in the Column Chooser (less scanning and searching). The short codes are G = Gross, N = Net, X = Canceled (Trashed), U = Unit and E = Estimated. The format of the column header is the short code(s) followed by two digit month and year. The default columns (factory-default) have also been modified so that they reflect the gross estimated money; this, of course, can be changed to any other type as desired using MyViews.
  • Modified: Removed the Projected Broadcast Accrual report from Reports since the Revenue Projection (Accrual) report serves to get to the same result with significantly less work; making the Projected Broadcast Accrual report obsolete.
  • Added: Introducing two new columns related to canceled (trashed) spots available on the Contracts window using the Column Chooser (see MyViews); these are "Cancel #" (displays number of spots) and "Cancel $" (displays gross amount "lost").
  • Modified: When using the Approve tool from the context menu of a Contract on the Contracts and PendingContracts windows, it now prompts asking if you are sure that you want to approve the contract.
  • Fixed: When the "off-air revenue" invoice generation process executes, an error occurs when the Billing cycle and/or Invoice type is set to None. This error is displayed on the Dashboard. Modified so that these types of Contracts are completely ignored during this processing.
  • Added: The "transform billing cycle" feature of a Contract correction mode now supports transforming from an invoiced billing cycle to a non-invoiced. Additionally, this feature now fully supports transforming a Contract revision chain.
  • Fixed: If an Invoice type on a Contract is set to something other than None, it is not possible to, in correction mode, to set it to None.
  • Added: It is now possible to move a Contract revision chain from one Customer to another using correction mode.
  • Added: Any changes made to a Contract header on a root Contract of a Contract revision chain updates all associated Contracts of the revision chain.
  • Modified: When working with a Contract and setting the Billing Cycle to None, the Invoice type is now automatically set to None and disabled until the Billing Cycle is set to something other than None.
  • Modified: When setting the Invoice type to None on a Contract and the "Enable Per Contract Invoice Print Count" Group option is also enabled, the x number field is removed from view. It returns when setting the Invoice type to something other than None.
  • Fixed: The correction mode menu is visible on a Contract that is not the root of a revision chain.
  • Modified: When printing (or exporting) a Contract that is part of a revision chain, the revision chain's original Contract number is printed along with the revision number.
  • Modified: The Contract report, Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy report and the Invoice report have been updated to reflect the Contract revision chain numbers.
  • Added: It is now possible to right click on a Contract in Contracts and use the context menu to cancel a Contract without having to open the Contract. This will cancel the Contract ASAP.
  • Fixed: When revising a Contract, the Contract that is being revised is including the date that the revised Contract is starting creating a one day cross-over between the original and revised Contract. Modified so that the original is canceled prior to the revised (entered) date.
  • Fixed: When to deleting a Contract revision chain after it has Invoices, an error is displayed. Deleting a Contract that has one or more revisions can now be deleted even in one or more Invoices exist that is for this Contract revision chain.
  • Added: It is now possible to reschedule a spot from the MakeGood process; specifically on the MakeGoodDetail window using the context menu.
  • Modified: When printing Reports and using the Insert Page Break option, the criteria for the report is shifted to the upper right hand portion of the report and included on every page of the report.
  • Added: You can now optionally include RevenueSource and/or RevenueType on Confirmations using Group options.
  • Added: There are now two very distinct modes of Billing; the default is a mode where the goal is to get Invoices to Customers in the most efficient and timely manner possible (this is the default). The second mode is more of a "legacy" style of Billing where Invoices remain in the gathering queue until the Billing cycle date has transpired regardless of spot completion. Operating in either mode affects Billing and all reports related to Invoice dates. To enable "Enforce Billing Cycle Boundary", review Group options.
  • Fixed: When printing collated Statements and Invoices, the all of printed Invoices are not being removed from the Billing print list even though they've been printed along with the Statements.
• EZ-NET
  • Added: It is now possible to access the online help system using F1 from all windows related to the EZ-NET add-on.
  • Modified: The NetworkSchedule window has been changed to remove all fields and elements that are not relevant to the NetworkSchedule (all of the fields that were displaying as None).
  • Modified: Since it is now possible to access the Network Affidavit report without leaving EZ-NET, this report has been removed from the Reports list.
  • Modified: United Stations has been updated to support importing from their system data regardless of the existence of the "copy end date" column.

• Initial public release.
