New or Enhanced Features

The following features have been added or enhanced in this service release:

Feature Description
New Preferences Wizard

Invoice Enhancements

Two options have been added to further customize your printed invoices. On the Reports tab in Studio Preferences, you now have the following options:

» Keep your terms together if the invoice goes onto multiple pages.
» Customize the font size of your invoice terms.

Trigger Enhancement

A new option has been added to session and appointment triggers. You can now choose to exclude a session or appointment from a trigger if the target date has passed. For example, appointment/session reminders could be left out if the appointment/session date has passed since the last time you processed triggers. This could come in handy for a studio that doesn't process triggers daily.

Yearbook Option Added

The "Yearbook Chosen By" field can now be updated in the sales presentation and from the Workflow hub. Not only can the yearbook image be selected during the presentation, you will now be prompted to indicate who the image was chosen by – parent, school, student, or studio – keeping your records that much more accurate.

InSpiredByYou Enhancement

Additional images can now be appended to an existing online session. When uploading images to a session that has already been uploaded, you will have the option to append the images to the existing session. For example, when a session is shot over a period of time, each set of images can be uploaded individually but will still be combined into a single online session.
