New Features in Version 6.0 (December 2005)

DataViewT/FormMaker was enhanced so that:

•DataView reports may be sorted on-screen by clicking in column headings. “Arrow” characters indicate which column the browse box is sorted on and whether the sort is in ascending or descending order.

•A "Contract is changed as follows" field was added to DataView Change Order reports.

•A Billed to-Date field was added to the DataView Job List.

•A Contract Date field was added to the DataView Job List.

•User-Defined fields were added to the DataView Job Cost Analysis Report.

•User-Defined fields were added to the DataView Job Summary Report.

Accounts Receivable was enhanced so that:

•During the Automatic Job Billing process, budgeted cost codes are checked to see if they are assigned to a billing phase. A warning is displayed if there are “orphan” codes that need a billing phase assignment.

•When voiding an Invoice, a search may be done “by Customer.”

•If a receipt from a customer is entered as a Miscellaneous Receipt and there are Open Invoices for that customer, a warning pops up indicating they should enter the receipt through regular Receipts Entry.

•The AR Aging Report and the AR “As-of” Aging Report formats were altered to display Discount/Retention totals at the bottom of the Retention Column.

Accounts Payable was enhanced so that:

•When viewing lists of invoices in the Vendor Entry program, a new field shows the total amount of all the invoices in the list.

•When printing a Lien Waiver, a new option allows the ability to search by Vendor ID.

•When printing a Lien Waiver, the co-payee name from the check may be printed also.

•When entering a Cost Code number on an AP Invoice Detail line, if the Vendor has been designated as a Subcontractor, the cost type will now default to “S”.

•A "Print Alignment Check" button was added next to the “check format” selection dropdown list. This expedites the selection of proper check formats.

Job Costing was enhanced so that:

•When a change order is revised after it was pulled into the Draw Billing, the AIA line item will automatically be updated to reflect the new change order amount.

•A list of jobs may be selected to print on all Job Costing reports. That means jobs may be selected for all jobs, one job, a range of jobs, or a list of jobs.

•The Subcontract Status Report and Subcontract Status Review screen now show "Pending" change order totals & details.

•The Job Cost Detail Listing now has the ability to include or exclude Group Codes using “wildcard” entries (and ?).

•The Job Cost Summary Report now allows for unposted AR invoices to be included in Billed to-Date figures.

Payroll was enhanced so that:

•Earned Income Credit may now be handled as a regular part of payroll. (A new multimedia training session covers this function.)

•The Payroll Timesheet Proof Listing has a new field that shows the total of all “net pay” amounts from handchecks.

•The Payroll Employee Listing can now include User Defined fields.

•When entering single day timesheets and clicking on the "Equipment" button, the “quantity” on the equipment entry screen now defaults to the number of hours entered on the timesheet.

•Timesheet Entry screens were reformatted to allow timesheet totals to be viewed while entering line items.

•A "Print Alignment Check" button was added next to the “check format” selection dropdown list. This expedites the selection of proper check formats.

•A new interface as added with a third-party tax reporting specialist, Aatrix Software. This function allows the use of Aatrix to access and print a comprehensive list of federal and state payroll tax reporting forms from within JobView.

Inventory was enhanced so that:

•A “Hot key” capability (pressing Alt + a letter) was added to the Item Price File Browse screen.

•The Inventory Adjustment Entry Screen now automatically opens new line item screens until the screen is cancelled.

•An Inventory Pick Ticket line item may now be expensed directly to a General Ledger account.

General Ledger was enhanced so that:

•A totally new function allows the design and printing of combined/ consolidated financial statements for multiple companies. (A new multimedia training session covers this function.)

•Dates on the Financial Statement may now be printed in different formats.

•During GL Transaction Entry, the entered transaction date from the prior entry automatically displays when a new entry is made.

•Posted transaction journals and entries that are to be automatically reversed are displayed for selection during GL Transaction Entry.

•When printing a Financial Statement, commas may now be printed in values. Previously, only spaces were printed.

General Enhancements:

•Totally new (Windows XP style) icons were added to all modules. These trendy, “plastic-like” icons may be displayed or the “classic” two-dimensional icons from versions prior to 6.0 can still be used. The selection is made in User Preferences. The new icons received mixed reviews during early testing, but they are necessary to keep the “look and feel” of JobView “up to date” for competitive reasons.

•All reports may now be converted to a pdf file, which may be emailed directly from within JobView.

•When dragging an unposted transaction from one batch to another, that transaction may be copied by simultaneously holding down the Control (Ctrl) key.

•Users that are logged in are tracked and verified in a new way to allow customers to use Remote Desktop and Terminal Services for Internet and WAN installations.
