There are over 100 merge fields including the ability to include additional services information in the confirmation email and a link to the person's My Account page where they can add additional services to the appointment.

FIXED: Issue with requested professional sometimes being reset on edit appointment page.

CHANGED: Changing team member roles no longer causes a page refresh.

The following are for the 1.6.1.0 release:

ADDED: Auto populate for zip code. On the appointment pages and on the payment maintenance the state, city, and county will be auto populated when the zip code is entered.

FIXED: Disconnected our current list of counties and plumbed in our new list of counties that is with our zip code data and should be complete for all 50 states whereas the old county data had some holes in it. NOTE: Please check your service areas on the company maintenance page to verify that all of the counties transferred over correctly. If a county was spelled differently in the old data than the new data it may not have carried over.

FIXED: Intermittent login issues as well as other intermittent errors that were occurring for some users.

FIXED: Reminders are no longer sent when the appointment creation date is within the reminder time span. For example, if the appointment is created on 3/23/2007 at 3:00PM and the appointment is for 3/24/2007 at 4:00PM the reminder email will not be sent because the time span between creation date and appointment date is less than 36 hours. The system used to send a reminder email in this case.

FIXED: Add appointment page was allowing an appointment to be saved when a service professional was not selected which was causing an error. The page now validates that a service professional is selected before saving the appointment.


Version 1.6.2.2

An audit log is still written, but the notes now indicate that the report was not sent becuase the person had no email addresses.

FIXED: Issue where reports were not being uploaded properly and were then causing errors when sending the report.

FIXED: Performance issues with the Create Schedule page between the property intake page and the appointment list page.

FIXED: Issue when sending "report delivery not deliverable" emails when a service is not paid or the contract has not been executed.
