===October 2017===

'''New Copy Report'''

We have added a new report under contracts category:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/rere3.png]</center>

The Copy Report pulls all the information from the copy tab and places it in a report that can be viewed and printed with your preferences:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/rere4.png]</center>



'''New Discrepancies Report'''

We have added a new report under Transaction category:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/rere6.png]</center>

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/rere7.png]</center>



'''GoToAssist/Meeting replacing Join.me'''

As part of the unifying with Marketron we are moving from Join.me to GoToAssist and GoToMeeting.

When You want assistance or a meeting you will be asked to click on the Tools menu in the Main Menu:

<center>[image||{UP}comingsoon/new9.png]</center>

Click on the GoToAssist or the GoToMeeting Icon, This will pop up a pane in RadioTraffic to place the 9 digit number that support gives you:

<center>[image||{UP}GoToAssist/Assist2.png]</center>
OR
<center>[image||{UP}GoTomeeting/meeting1.png]</center>

Clicking Ok will open a webpage and start the meeting automatically.



'''Spot Detail window> adding a "Rescheduled" status'''

We added a new status to the Spot detail window. Now after you reschedule spot(s) the status will now be marked as rescheduled. 

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/soon1.gif]</center>

(((EC You will also see that this change happens immediately without exiting, and if you look at the bottom of the gif you will see a status of the window working if you are changing a lot of spots.)))



'''Log remembers Views'''

We have improved the column views to remember your setup in the Log:

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/soon5.gif]</center>

The setup you choose will remember from log to log, day to day.



'''PrePay Column in Contracts'''

We have added a Column in the [Contracts] pane of [Contracts] labeled PrePay?:

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/soon6.png]</center>

This checkbox will mark all contracts that are Prepay. You can find this column by opening the context menu, Column Chooser.



'''Coming Soon link in RT'''

We have added a link in RadioTraffic to go to our Coming Soon Page if you want to see what were working on or testing.

You can find the link under View in the Main Menu of the Dashboard:
<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/soon2.png]</center>


It will bring up a window within RadioTraffic:
<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/soon3.png]</center>


====2040====

* Added
** Introducing the [ReportCopy|Copy] report.
** Introducing the new [ReportProjectionvsActualDiscrepancies|Projection vs Actual (Discrepancies)] report.
** The [Contracts] window now contains a ''Prepay?'' column to better assist in determining which (if any) [contracts] may have this flag currently activated.
** The [SpotDetail] window now contains a status bar.
** The [log] now restores the layout of the reconcile, locked and invoiced [logs].
** It is now possible to keep up to date on what is coming soon regarding RT; to so, click on the ''View'' main menu from the [Dashboard] and then click the ''Coming Soon...'' entry.
** The ''Start GoToAssist...'' menu item has been added to the [Dashboard].
** The ''Start GoToMeeting...'' menu item has been added to the [Dashboard].
* Modified
** Fix: ''Digital Jukebox'' [automation_system] has been renamed to ''DJB Radio'' at the request of DBJ Radio.
** Improve: The ''cart # "in use"'' message on the [Copy] window has been modified to only be visible if there is a problem; if everything is "fine", there's no need for a "it's fine" message as this state is the expected behavior/outcome.
** Improve: ''Essentials'' now has a ''Remove'' tool in the ''Invalid Copy'' list of the [Log] (context menu).
** Improve: The [Copy] window has been modified so that the title bar displays "Loading..." while opening the window and then displays the current ''Name'' of the [Copy] once loaded; this is instead of an irrelevant number.
** Fix: It should not be possible to select ''Archive'' for new/duplicated [Copy].
** Fix: The text on the ''Rotation'' tab of the [Contract] window incorrectly states "delete", it should be "trash".
** Improve: As it is the "expected behavior", it doesn't really make sense to highlight the rotation items ([copy]) in the [contract] that are valid for the whole rotation run; as such, the green highlight has been removed.
** Improve: It is no longer necessary to "fiddle" with the ''Options...'' / ''Override End Date'' foolery; the rotations now automatically have this ability enabled allowing for you to "extend" the end date to the maximum allowed end date (end of the last billing cycle of the [contract]).
** Fix: It is no longer possible to select an end date beyond the last date of the billing cycle of the overall [contract] as it's not possible to schedule a spot on a [log] that is beyond the end date of the last billing cycle of the [contract] (it's not available in the make good list of the [log]).
** Fix: When using the SHIFT key to ''Flag'' [invoices] as having been emailed without actually sending in the [Billing] window only for a subset of the complete list (unchecked one or more), the button text continues to incorrectly state ''*Flag*'' until you "do something else".
** Improve: It is now possible to "Flag" [invoices] as printed without actually printing using the SHIFT key to toggle the ''Process'' button.
** Fix: ''Begin of Schedule'' [contracts] are incorrectly showing as ''Approved''; should show as ''Running'' since an [invoice] exists and is finalized.
** Fix: When rescheduling a spot on a [contract], the ''O.Target Date'' isn't updating without having to exit and reload the window.
** Improve: Rescheduled spots that are still ''Available'' now display in the [SpotDetail] window as ''Rescheduled'' to better reflect that they have been, well, rescheduled.
** Fix: The count and revenue columns in the [contract] are displaying the total units/amount for a line that has been completely trashed.  This update modifies the display so that these values are left "blank" in the circumstances where the ''end date'' column displays ''N/A''.
** Improve: It is now possible to leverage the combo box context menus in ''Pending'', ''Approved'' and ''Running'' (not yet billed) [Contracts].
** Improve: When modifying the commission on an [Agency] and/or [SalesPerson] while within a [Contract], the associated commission fields are updated to the newly selected associated default (changed) values.
** Improve: Added more status indications for trashing, in-trashing, forcing available, forcing invoice, etc. in the [SpotDetail] window.
** Fix: [SalesPeople] should be able to trash pending [contracts].
** Fix: The ''Clock'' field on the [ReportInventory|Inventory] report doesn't update the columns as expected/intended.
** Fix: The ''Spread'' column on the [Log] is not visible unless the [EmailSettings] is completed?
** Fix: The [ReportPacingContracts|Pacing] report is not available when the ''EXP Enhanced Reports'' add-on is active unless other add-ons are also active.
** Fix: The [ReportGoal|Goal] report is not available when the ''Sales'' add-on is active unless other add-ons are also available.
** Fix: The ''Owner'' column (instead of ''Sales Person'') should be in the default layout of the [Sales#goalreport|Goal (Owner)] report.
** Remove: The ''Start join.me...'' menu item on the [Dashboard] has been removed; see above re: GoToAssist/GoToMeeting.
** Improve: The [ReportInvalidContractRotationCopy|Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy] report now displays the month and day as pat of the column headers.
** Fix: When creating a new piece of [Copy], the "in use" check appears to be based on the originally selected [Customer] not the currently selected (changed) [Customer].
** Improve: When changing to a different [Customer] in the [Copy] window, it would be nice if the "in use" check would automatically validate without having to modify the cart number.
** Improve: The printed statements have been updated to expand on the available information that is part of what used to be a single entry labeled "Previous Balance"; the information now contains additional details for each transaction that is being carried forward.
* Exceptions
** OverflowException in WideOrbit.Export(): Encountered a situation where an alpha-numeric cart # was incorrectly seen as a numeric-only cart # since it was interpreted as being "scientific notation" (the default computing behavior); the specific example being 20e9. 20e9 is shorthand for 20000000000 which is clearly an invalid cart #. This update modifies the check to filter for "scientific notation"; instead treating the entry as alpha-numeric, the intended result.
** NullReferenceException in [Invoices].CreateDetailArea: With the "Co-Op Summarize on Invoices" option enabled ([Group]), the application crashes when attempting to print [Statements] with along with [Invoices] from several years ago.


===September 2017===

'''Improved: Opening a [Log]'''

We have altered the way you access your logs. When you open your log most of you get the Reconciliation Warning popup window asking if you want to go to that log. Clicking no on this will take you to the next log that is not locked. 

Now clicking NO opens up the Select Log window, allowing you to scroll through all of your logs and selecting the one you want: 

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/newlog2.gif]</center>

'''Improved: Contract Lines'''

We have made some changes to the Contracts window it now reflects the "expected" line item end dates instead of the originally entered end dates:

Before alterations:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/new1.png]</center>

After 4 days of spots are removed from the last week:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/new2.png]</center>

Confirmation print preview:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/new3.png]</center>

No longer have to close and reopen the Contract when canceling a line item of a Contract, the window now immediately reflects the change:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/newline2.gif]</center>

Canceling an entire line now sets the end date to N/A and removes the line(s) completely from the confirmation. 

'''Added: Dropdown Context Menus'''

We have added a context menu to the Customer, Agency, Owner, Sales Person, Primary Conflict, Secondary Conflict, Revenue Type, Revenue Source, Avail Type, Credit Policy, Country, Tax, Tax-on-Tax, Fee, Voice, Sales Commission, Agency Commission and Category dropdown selection boxes throughout the application,

Context Menu in the [Contracts] window...

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/release7.gif]</center>

Context Menu in the [Customer] window...

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/release11.gif]</center>

Tools include Open and New.

For those that are more Keyboard Centric we have also added the hotkey ability "Insert" while tabbing through the [contract] and [customer] windows

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/new5.gif]</center>

((('''EC''' - I'm cycling through the [Customer], [Agency] and [Salesperson] fields using TAB hotkey.  I also leveraged the ESC hotkey to close window.)))

'''Added: Mass Change ([Customers])'''

It is now possible to mass change more than a dozen values across multiple customers using the newly introduced ''Change'' tool available in the [Customers] window:

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/release14.gif]</center>

On the ''Changer'' window, you can activate any of the available check boxes to enable the available "changer tools" for the values available to be changed.  When you activate (check) a check box, the dropdown selection list becomes available.  The value selected (including "None") will then be used once you press the ''OK'' button to immediately apply the selected value(s) across all of the previously selected (highlighted) [customers].

'''Improved: Archived/Trashed'''

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/new7.gif]</center>

We have added the toggle save ability to [Copy], [Agencies], [AutomationCommands], [Conflicts], [Customers], [LogNotes], [Placement], [Programs], [AvailTypes], [Stations] and [Users] windows and the [Customer] window ''Copy'' tab. And toggle is saved between window launches.

'''Added: Confirmation Emails'''

We now have the ability to customize your ''Subject'' and ''Body'' of [Confirmations] you send via email.  This text can either be static text you want to send every time or leverage tokens to add a more personal/informative message.

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/email8.png]</center>

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/email9.png]</center>

Within [Group]>Email>Confirmations is the pane where you place your custom text.

Emails when you use a custom lines without tokens:

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/email7.png]</center>

Emails when you use a custom lines with tokens:

<center>[image||{UP}Comingsoon/email10.png]</center>

'''Added: Release Notes Notice'''

We have added a notice to the Dashboard for you to quickly access the Release Notes:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/new8.png]</center>

You will get this notice every time we have an update. We want to share with you the new content that we are putting in to RadioTraffic.

====2032====

* Added
** Context menu added to: Customer, Agency, Owner, Sales Person, Primary Conflict, Secondary Conflict, Revenue Type, Revenue Source, Avail Type, Credit Policy, Country, Tax, Tax-on-Tax, Fee, Voice, Sales Commission, Agency Commission and Category combo boxes throughout the application; tools include ''Open'' and ''New''.
** Hotkey INS added to: Customer, Agency, Owner, Sales Person, Primary Conflict, Secondary Conflict, Revenue Type, Revenue Source, Avail Type, Credit Policy, Country, Tax, Tax-on-Tax, Fee, Voice, Sales Commission, Agency Commission and Category combo boxes throughout the application.  This hotkey allows for the creation of a new entry.
** It is now possible to mass change more than a dozen values across multiple [customers] using the newly introduced ''Change'' tool available in the [Customers] window.
** It is now possible to modify the templates utilized for the body of the email when emailing [Confirmations] and [Statements].
** The [Copy], [Agencies], [AutomationCommands], [Conflicts], [Customers], [LogNotes], [Placement], [Programs], [AvailTypes], [Stations] and [Users] windows and the [Customer] window ''Copy'' tab so that the (if available) View->Archived/Trashed toggle is remembered between window launches.
** Added a "We've updated the release notes!" notice to the [Dashboard].
* Modified
** Improve: The [Contracts] window now reflects the "expected" line item end dates instead of the originally entered end dates.
** Improve: When ''canceling'' a line item of a [Contract], the window now immediately reflects the change; no longer requires closing and re-opening the window. 
** Modified: It has been requested by many to modify the [Log] so that there is a prompt for which [log] date is desired instead of automatically choosing "the next" working [log].
** Fix: There is an issue where when creating a new piece of [Copy] from within a [Contract] where the end date is set to ''TFN'' causing the application to exit.
** Fix: It should be possible to mass approve [Contracts] in Essentials if the ''Enhanced Contracts'' add-on is active.
** Remove: The ''URL'' field on the [Station] window has been removed as it serves no purpose within the application.
** Remove: The ''Billing Name'' field has been removed from the [Agency] window as it serves no purpose.
** Fix: The ''Email'' tool in [Contracts] functionality (result) should match the email(s) sent using the [Email_Confirm_Invoice_Statement|Email Confirmations] window.
** Fix: The ''Invoice'' column should be visible in Essentials when the ''Enhanced Billing'' add-on is active.
** Fix: The ''Certified Text'' field on the ''Invoices'' tab of the [Station] window is overlapping the ''Notary Text'' field making it extremely difficult to view/edit the ''Notary Text'' field.
** Fix: If the ''Enhanced Copy'' and ''Enhanced Log'' are not active (Essentials), the ''Copy Voice'' option in [Group] is visible yet does nothing.
** Fix: The instructions provided when opening a [Log] state that it should be possible to force close a log (after confirming that the person stated as having it open doesn't actually have it open) does not appear to work for the ''Administrator'' role; shouldn't this work for the ''Administrator''?
** Fix: The [SalesPerson] window with the ''Sales'' add-on enabled includes ''trashed'' [stations] in the ''Goals'' tab; if a [station] is ''trashed'', it shouldn't be in this list.
** Fix: The ''cart # in-use'' message in the [Copy] window seems to have "lag" under some conditions and the status bar seems to "get stuck".
** Improve: When a new version is available, the update check is "faster" allowing for the update to occur before the user begins to log in to the application.
** Improve: Renamed the "Rotation Item(s)" window to "Available Copy" in an effort to more accurately describe the content/context of the window.
** Remove: The "Welcome to Marketron" dashboard entry as been on the [Dashboard] for two months.  Everyone who is going to read it has probably done so; those that have not, probably never will.
** Improve: If the [station] (and/or the [customer]) address is in ''California'', the notary [invoices] will contain a state required message in a required box. (See v2014 below for more details.)
** Improve: The minimum size of the [ReleaseNotes] window has been increased in an effort to better support the screen shots that are now being included.
** Fix: The [ReportReconciliation|Reconciliation] report appears to not include ''archived'' [customers]; ''archived'' should be included, ''trashed'' should not.

===August 2017===

'''Create new copy from within a Contract'''

We added the ability to create new copy from within a contract:

 
<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/contractnew3.gif]</center>

You can create a new copy like this from a Pending, Approved, Running, P. Cancel or a Canceled [Contract]. 


'''Archive/Trash Customers in A/R'''

We have made the Contract pane within A/R as close to a twin of the [Contracts] pane in [Contracts]. 
You can Check/uncheck either/both Archived and Trashed under View of the Main Menu:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/notes1.gif]</center>

When you Archive/Un-archive or Trash/Un-trash in A/R or [Contracts] those customers will be changed in the other. 

'''Log Avail Improvements'''

We added the ability to Trash/Untrash Avails in the log>Tools>Avail Types Window.

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/avail1.gif]</center>


'''Multi Select within Log Avails'''

We also added the ability to Multi Select with this window with both the shift and the ctrl keys.

With the Shift Key:
<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/multi1.gif]</center>

With the ctrl Key:
<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/multi2.gif]</center>


'''Log Templates Add-on Improvements'''

We've had quite a few stations in the last few weeks who want to "Trash" things in the Log templates add-on. We have added this function with the ability to checkmark and see trashed items and even un-trash them back. 

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/template2.gif]</center>

'''Reprint Toggle'''

We have added the feature of reprinting in the Print Contract Confirmations:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/notes22.gif]</center>

Using "Ctrl+R" will toggle the window to refresh with every contract confirmation that you had set up to print. 

(((EC This may be a long list. You will want to Uncheck all of them and just Check the ones you wanted printed again.)))


'''California Notary'''

Our stations, billing in California, informed us about a law changing the way a notary page must be displayed. A box with the addition of a disclaimer must be on all California invoices.
 
We have added this feature, so when you use CA as the state in either the [Customer] or [Agency] window your invoices will automatically have the box attached where it is supposed to go. 

If you are working in California and want more info. See [Stations], CA Notary.

====2018====

* Modified
** Improve: The ''Add'' button in a [Rotation] should be available for a new [Customer] (or an existing [Customer] that has no existing [Copy]) to facilitate the addition of new [Copy] from within the [Rotation].
** Improve: The [PrintConfirmations] and Email Confirmations window now support the ESC key to close the window.

** Fix: Unable to create a new [Avail] in the [AvailTypes] window as an ''Administrator''.
** Fix: The ''Add'' button is available in the [Rotation] window if the ''Length'' value has not been selected; causing the application to crash when you click the ''Add'' button.  Need to make the ''Add'' button not available until after the ''Length'' has been selected (removing the red exclamation).
** Fix: Modifications to improve the (x of ?) target spot count in Pending Invoices (EXP); this is in an effort to correct the (x of -1) that occurred during last months billing.
** Fix: Attempting to duplicate a Program opens a window displaying a "random" [AutomationCommand] window or simply crashes the application.
** Fix: Attempting to ''Merge'' an [Avail] in the [AvailTypes] window causes the application to crash.

====2014====

* Added
** When working with a [Contract] [Rotation], it is now possible to create a new [Copy] entry.

===July 2017===

'''Welcome to Marketron!'''

You'll find a new [dashboard] item with a message stating "Welcome to Marketron!".  Clicking in this entry will automatically launch your default web browser landing [WelcomeToMarketron|here].  Please take a moment to read the message from our new CEO.  Clicking on this message will automatically flag the item as being completed.

'''Loop others into a Ticket'''

A request asked by many is the ability to add co-workers into a ticket, so that multiple people in your organization can interact with one persons ticket:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/tickets5.gif]</center>

In the center bar is a new button "Notifications" this button opens up a new window in the lower half that lets you pick one or more people to add to this ticket. 
When you add someone they will now be able to see and respond in the ticket and both/all of you will be able to follow along with the dialog.

'''Print Ticket'''

Another feature requested by many, is the ability to print tickets.
 
You can now print and share a fix to a issue with a co-worker. You can now save a reoccurring issue with a walkthrough response. You can now hand off a response from Radio Traffic to a superior that wanted a question asked. 

Under File in the Main Menu is Print and Print Preview tabs: 

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/tickets1.png]</center>


This printout will show all of the important information including the comments:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/tickets3.png]</center>

(((EC With the print preview feature you can open the entire ticket in another page and look at it in a different and separate setting.))) 

'''EZ-NET Change'''

When you click on [EZ-NET] icon the [Dashboard], a separate [EZ-NET] application will be launched.  If you haven't already installed the separate application, clicking on this icon
will automatically launch the installation process by navigating your default web browser to[http://www.shinystone.com/EZ-NET_RT|do so].  Please follow those instructions in order to enable [EZ-NET] functionality.  When prompted, please use the same username/password that you use for RT.

====2005====

* Modified
** Improve: The printed [confirmations] have been updated so that the resulting document now takes into account the status of the individual spots/oar for each line item when determining what end date will be presented.  The item count and amount for each line also now takes into account the current status of the individual spots/oar (trashed) and will reflect a lowered amount based on the trashed items (if any) exist.  If any lines are adjusted (canceled) in any way that results in zero spots/oar, the item is removed from the document (filtered).
** Fix: When attempting to ''duplicate'' an archived [Contract] on an archived [Customer], upon pressing the OK button the application presents an error message.
** Fix: If all items on [log] are removed and the [log] is saved, it is not possible add any items back onto the [log] or apply another [log] to the (now) blank [log].
** Fix: It isn't possible to delete a [contract] line item that is presented in red (invalid) under the circumstance where, due to the nature of the schedule, it is impossible to schedule the spots.  It is necessary to be able to delete the line item in order to clear up the issue; so it should be possible to delete the line if this is the particular circumstance.

====2004====

* Added
** It is now possible to modify who is in the "conversation" for each [Ticket].
** It is now possible to print a [Ticket].
* Modified
** Fix: When the voice add-on is enabled and active, the [Copy] window doesn't display the red exclamation when the voice field is blank/nothing as it should.
** Fix: Pressing F1 on the [PrintConfirmations] window should target the [PrintConfirmations] page.
** Improve: When the [Reports] window is in ''Favorites'' mode, F1 should target the ''Favorites'' section of the documentation.
** Improve: The [Dashboard] now checks for [Ticket] information more often.
** Improve: [EZ-NET] We've learned that a majority of our [EZ-NET] users only use [EZ-NET] as part of their day-to-day usage of RT; as such, we are making [EZ-NET] available as a separate install/executable.  This also affords future editions specific to [EZ-NET].  We are attempting to make this transition as easy as possible by being able to continue to launch [EZ-NET] from within RT and, if not already installed, begin the installation process using the already familiar launch icon within RT.

===June 2017===
'''Invalid Copy'''

By popular request we have added a new system review notification to the [Dashboard].

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Notes12.png]</center>

This new notification will be on your [Dashboard] if you have any invalid [copy] related to spots that are currently scheduled on the next to be locked [logs]. If you have more than one invalid [copy] you will have one notification for each [contract]/line presenting the issue. It shows [customer] as well as the sales person.

This image shows the owner as well as the sales person:
<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Notes11.png]</center>

Clicking on the notification will launch the [contract] to be corrected. 

If you have more than a few Invalid [copy], for any one day, we put them in a single notification to reduce noise: 

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Notes1.png]</center>

Clicking on this notification will take you to that days [log].

((('''EC''' - The review process does not inspect the spots that still exist on the bump list (not placed); the spot must actually be on the [log].)))

'''CTRL+N Log Summary for Log Bump/Make Good'''

As requested through the [Forums]. We can now go from the log straight to the  [Log] Summary when bumping or MakeGood a spot by  using the Hotkey function of Ctrl+N (Control and the "N" key together) on the Spot.

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Notes7.gif]</center>


'''Automatic Customer Un-Archive'''

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/notes9.gif]</center>

We've recently received a sizable amount of feedback similar to the following:

"A sales person came to me wanting to create a new [contract] on a [customer] that has had no activity long enough causing the [customer] to have become archived.  I un-archive the [customer] so that they can create a new [contract] only to have them delay adding the new [contract] long enough that the [customer] is archived again since it doesn't have anything new attached causing them to return to me asking me to have to un-archive the [customer] again."

Last month we improved access to archived [contracts] by modifying the ''View''->''Archived'' menu item so that it is remembered between launches of the [contracts] window.

In this update, we have improved the process further to allow for the creation of a new [contract] on a [customer] that is currently archived.  In this way, the sales person (in the above example) can activate the ''View''->''Archived'' toggle; thus being able to see all active and archived [customers].  When the archived [customer] is selected, the ''New'' button is immediately available.  When the ''New'' button is clicked, the following is presented:

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/notes10.png]</center>

Select "Yes" and the new [Contract] window will be presented.  When this new [contract] is saved (using the ''OK'' or ''Apply'' buttons), the [customer] will automatically be un-archived.  Using the ''Cancel'' button to abort the creation of the [contract] will also abort the un-archiving the [customer].

((('''CS''' - In other words, if you don't actually create a new [contract] (regardless of ''pending'' or ''approved''), there is no reason to automatically un-archive the [customer].)))

'''User Usage Report'''

We've received multiple requests to add the ability for the ''Administrator'' role to be able monitor/review other peoples usage of the system.  To facilitate this we've added a new report called [ReportUserUsage|User Usage].  This report details each individual whom has accessed the system along with specific logon date, duration and computer name for each individual session.  This report is located under the ''Administrative'' category in [Reports] and is only accessible to the ''Administrator'' role.

'''"Complex Rotations"'''

We understand that there are rare instances where it would be "simpler" if it were possible to directly assign a [rotation] to a specific line item of a [Contract].  In order to facilitate this, we are introducing the ''Activate "Complex Rotations" override.'' capability that can be enabled on a [customer]-by-[customer] basis.  The ability to activate this capability is limited to the ''Administrator'' role; as this option should only be active for [customers] that have "extremely complex" scheduling scenarios.  In other words, this override should only be enabled if absolutely necessary as there are sizable downsides in the form of restrictions and possible missing copy confusion introduced when utilizing this feature.

To activate this override for a particular [customer]:

<center>[image||{UP}Contract/ComplexRotation1.gif]</center>

* Open a [Customer].
* Switch to the ''Scheduling'' tab...
* Toggle the ''Activate "Complex Rotations" override.'' check box.

When enabled for a particular [customer] there will be additional capabilities exposed on the [Contract] window related to [rotations] and saving it the drop down menu will have the valid [rotations] listed.

<center>[image||{UP}Contract/ComplexRotation.gif]</center>

In the above screen shot, you will see that we begin working with [Contract] that has a single line item.  This line item is currently configured as a "regular" rotation; meaning that it will utilize any and all rotations within the [Rotation] tab in order to determine what [Copy] to assign when locking a [Log].  We decide that we want to hard-wire the first (in this case "only") [rotation] to the first (in this case "only") line item.

((('''CS''' - This would not be a scenario where we would do it this way... one line and one rotation is effectively already "wired".)))

We want to draw your attention to the fact that the ''Rotation'' column is blank at the start of this process.  We will then double click on the first line item to open it.  Once open, you will see a ''Rotation'' field with a combo box containing (assuming you have at least one [rotation] on the [contract]) ''Automatic'' and ''Rotation #1''.  The default is always ''Automatic'' regardless if the "Complex Rotations" override is enabled on a [customer].

((('''CS''' - ''Automatic'' is the recommended setting; use extreme care and caution if you decide to not use ''Automatic''.)))

We, in this example, are going to modify the line from ''Automatic'' to ''Rotation #1''.  Upon pressing the ''OK'' button to accept the change, you will see that the ''Rotation'' column now displays ''Rotation #1''.

Now that we've modified the [contract] to use ''Rotation #1'' for line 1; the [log] will now ignore any and all other [rotations] on this [contract] when working to determine which [copy] to assign.  

((('''CS''' - If this [rotation] and/or associated [copy] become invalid, any and all other [rotations] ''will not'' be reviewed/evaluated.  Additionally, ''Rotation #1'' will also no longer be able to be used by any other line(s) on the [contract] as it is "wired" to line 1 and '''cannot''' be used with any line that is set to ''Automatic''.)))

((('''VR''' - If a [rotation] is assigned to a specific line it can only be used by that line.  This makes the [rotation] assigned to the line invalid for general use of that [contract].)))

((('''VR''' - If you create a new rotation it does not actually exist until you hit the Apply button so is not available in the rotation combo box.)))

'''Customer "Owner" Concept'''

The feature of Owner refers to the person responsible for the day to day operations of an existing customer account and the default sales person on a new contract, where an account may have many sales people tied to it. This feature adds the Owner column to certain reports and ownership can change. 

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Owner.png]</center>


'''Ticket Comment Freedom'''

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/note4.gif]</center>

We've improved [Tickets] so that is it now possible to open a [ticket#comment|Comment] on a [Ticket] and move them aside and continue to work throughout RT providing the flexibility for you follow along with the details in the [ticket#comment|Comment].

'''"Read-Only" Archived Copy'''

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/contract41.gif]</center>

It has come to our attention that there are cases where changes made to [Copy] are not being completely reviewed especially when those changes are made in relationship to [Copy] that is ''archived''.  We have improved the [Copy] window so that, when ''archived'', you are no longer able to make changes unless you first un-archive.  This takes the form of all fields are now disabled except for the ''Status''.  When you change the ''Status'' field to "OK" you can make modifications; thus removing the issue.

'''(SALES) Contract Commission modifiable by Sales/Sales Manager roles'''

We've received several requests that there be additional flexibility / relaxed rules for when someone with a ''Sales'' role enters a [contract] with regards to the [commission].  

When the ''[sales#options|Sales - Access to Contracts]'' and ''[group#options|Enable Contract Edit Commission %]'' options are enabled, it is now possible for a [user] with the ''Sales'' role to modify the ''Sales Commission %'' field on a new/pending [contract].  

When this pending [contract] is then reviewed by someone who can approve, a blue informational glyph will be placed next to the ''Sales Commission %'' field to quickly identify that the [commission] entered does not match the [users] default [commission].

'''Agency New Line Option "Care Of"'''

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/COAgency.png]</center>

We recently encountered a situation where we discovered that the formatting of the [Agency] name on [Confirmations] when the "[Group#options|Format Agency on New Line on Confirmations]" option is active does not follow universally accepted formatting.  It was determined that a "C/O" should be added before the [Agency] name in order to better represent that the [Agency] is the "care of" (responsible party).  The same change has also been applied to [Invoices] and [Statements], assuming that that "[Group#options|Format Agency on New Line on Invoices]" and/or "[Group#options|Format Agency on New Line on Statements]" (respectively) is/are enabled.

((('''Note:''' Keep in mind that not all features mentioned in the release notes may be available to you depending on your product selection, license agreement and service level.

* Modified
** Improve: Modified [Tickets] so that the "aging" colorizer using a 72 hour range regardless of ticket status (other than closed) as I believe [tickets] should at least be "refreshed" no later than a 72 hour window.
** Improve: When viewing a [Report_Templates|Template] report, the F1 target page is now for the add-on not the base report.
** Improve: Removed the ''Close'' button from the [Contracts#ratioeditor|Ratio Editor] window.
** Improve: When opening a piece of [Copy] that is ''Archived'', all fields are now disabled except for the ''Status''.
** Improve: [Tickets] would be much more useful if we could keep a [ticket] comment open as we navigate to the related area of RT; right now, you have to close the comment in order to "do anything else".
** Improve: ''Archived'' [Copy] shows as ''Trashed'' in the [Copy] window; it should be presented as ''Archived''.
** Fix: When manipulating a [payment] the summary is "confused" under some conditions where the [payment] has already been previously applied to one or more [invoices]/[adjustments].
** Improve: When viewing an archived [customer] in [Contracts], it would be great if we could add a new [Contract] and upon doing so the [Customer] would automatically un-archive.
** Improve: It would be nice if we could utilize the CTRL+N hotkey in the bump list of the [log].  (Extended this to also include the [log] make good list.)
** Fix: When evaluating whether or not [copy] is available when creating a [Contracts#rotation|rotation] on the [Contracts#contract|Contract] window there are some circumstances where the ''New'' button is available and shouldn't be.

** Fix: Removed the "Apply Payment" and "Apply Transaction" button dues to synchronization issues and the fact that they are completely redundant.
* Exceptions
** NullReferenceException in [Copy].CreateReportHeaderArea(): When attempting to print / print preview a piece of [Copy] that has the ''end date'' set to "TFN", the application displays a "print error".

[Anchor|#May2017]
===May 2017===

'''ARCHIVED CONTRACTS'''

We've made several enhancements to the [Contracts] window related to whether or not a [customer] has ''archived'' [contracts] and how these ''archived'' [contracts] are included. 

First, we've made it easier to "know" whether or not a [customer] has any archived [contracts].  There is now an added optional "Archived" column that can be added to the [customer] list.  This column presents how many [contracts] the [customer] has that are currently ''archived''.

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Release3.png]</center>

The second is related to actually including ''archived'' [contracts] in the visible list for each [customer] (in the [Contracts] window).

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Release4.png]</center>

As you know, when the ''Archived'' option is enabled (under the ''View'' main menu), the ''archived'' [contracts] are included.  When this option is not enabled, ''archived'' [contracts] are "hidden".  The improvement is that this option is now remembered between opening and closing of the [Contracts] window; meaning that if you have it enabled when you close the [Contracts] window and reopen it later, the ''archived'' [contracts] will automatically be included.  Please note that this will "slow" things down since more information is being loaded for each [customer].

Additionally, we've modified slightly the visual difference between ''archived'' and ''trashed'' [customers] and [contracts] in the [Contracts] window.

<center>[image||{UP}ReleaseNotes/Release5.png]</center>

The ''archived'' [customers] and [contracts] no longer have a line drawn through them and are now presented as "faded".

====1976====
{br}
* Modified
** Fix: In the [Contracts] window, the ''Status'' column in the [customer] list shows ''archived'' customers as "inactive"; it should show "archived".
** Fix: When reversing an [invoice] that exists on a [customer] that is archived; the [customer] should automatically un-archive.
** Fix: When reversing an [invoice] attached to a [contract] that has been archived; the [contract] should automatically un-archive.
** Fix: The [Copy] window doesn't appear take into account ''TFN'' [Copy] when evaluating the ''automatic cart number assignment'' to determine the next available cart number.
** Fix: When modifying a cart number in the [Copy] window, ''TFN'' [Copy] isn't taken into account when attempting to determine if the cart number is in use by another [Customer].
** Fix: Due to recent changes to reduce duplicate options being visible in the [Group] ''Options'' tab, several options are no longer visible that should be.
====1975====
{br}
* Modified
** Fix: The ''Feedback'' main menu ''Peer Forums'' tool on the [Dashboard] incorrectly launches the default browser targeting the documentation instead of the [http://traf.com/forum|Peer Forums].
** Fix: When ''trashing'' one [rotation] the ''length'', ''start time'' and ''end time'' columns in the ''Rotation'' list are presented in an "odd" manner.
** Fix: The [Tax] and [Finance_Charges_2013|Finance Charge] [adjustments] are available when the respective add-ons aren't enabled.
** Improve: Renamed the "Reconcile" window presented during [LogReconcile|log reconciliation] to the more meaningful "As-Play Fail".

====1973====
{br}
* Added
** The [customer] list in the [Contracts] window now includes an optional ''Archived'' column that presents the number of [contracts] are archived for the related [customer].
* Modified
** Improve: ''Archived'' [customers] and [contracts] now show as "faded" instead of "crossed-out".
** Improve: The ''View'' ''Archived'' and ''Trashed'' menu items in the [Contracts] window are now "sticky"; meaning they now are remembered between launches.
** Fix: The items in the [Group] ''Options'' tab do not appear to sort properly especially when certain add-ons are enabled.
** Fix: There are several entries in the [Group] ''Options'' tab that are duplicated.
** Fix: ([EZ-NET]) The [tickets] created automatically through the usage of the [EZ-NET] "refetch" beta feature are causing issues when they are "reopened".
** Fix: ([Sales]) Due to changes made for the [Contracts] window related to ''archived'' [contracts] it no longer makes sense to "fade" [customers] in the [Contracts] window for [customers] that are ''owned'' by other [salespeople].
** Fix: When clicking on the available links from within the [NewsDialog|Release Notes] window, the default web browser launches as expected; however, the content of the window also changes and a "scripting" error occurs.

====1970====
{br}
* Modified
** Improve: The length of [copy] on a new line of a [contract] now defaults to "nothing" if the [customer] currently has no existing active [copy].
** Improve: When a [Ticket] is set to a ''Status'' of ''Resolved'' or ''Completed'', the ''Resolution'' determines the type of resolution the ''Resolved'' or ''Complete'' status represents.  There appears to have been some confusion as to what some of these ''Resolution'' values mean; so the [Ticket] window now contains a more verbose explanation to what the current ''Resolution'' represents located just to the left of the values between the ''Description'' and ''Comment'' areas of the window.
** Improve: It would seem to make sense that the [Customer] window would automatically switch to the [Copy] when opened from the [Contracts] or [EZ-NET] windows since the most likely next action to be taken is related to managing [Copy].
** Fix: The ''Trashed'' column in the [Salespeople] window seems unreasonably wide.
** Fix: When opening [Salesperson] window if the [SalesAddOn] is not available there is a "huge" amount of blank space to the right of the fields that seems "distracting".
** Fix: When printing [invoices] along with [statements] in [Billing] and the ''Enable Duplex (Blank Page) on Invoices'' setting is enabled in the [Group] ''Options'' tab under the ''Documents.Invoices'' section, the [statements] are printing in such a way that the duplex value is "confused".  It should honor the duplex setting and automatically insert the blank page when necessary bringing it in line with how the [invoices] are printing when this option is enabled.
** Fix: When initially opening the [Station] window, the down button related to the ''Log Placement Weight'' ''Levels'' values on the ''Schedule'' tab is not being enabled as it should requiring that you click on another entry and then back to the first in order to get the button activated.
** Improve: The "Late Notice" window should better support line feeds (paragraphs) in order to improve overall readability.
** Fix: ([Tax]) There is a minor display issue with the [Tax] window red exclamation(s) being displayed with undesired "artifacts".
** Fix: ([Canada]) The ''Business Number'' position, size and layout on the [Station] window doesn't appear to be displaying in a consistent manner with the rest of the window.
** Improve: ([India]) The [India] add-on should include the features of the [Tax] add-on automatically included even if not separately activated separately as it is an integral requirement for operating in [India].
** ([India]) There is a minor display issue with the [TaxOnTax] window red exclamation being displayed with undesired "artifacts".
** Fix: ([India]) The [Tax] and [TaxOnTax] fields are not displaying correctly in the [Customer] window.
** Improve: The "open" glyph for the ''Open'' tool on many windows throughout RT has minor display  issues with some skins.
** Fix: ([Sales]) Found a circumstance where it appears that the ''Sales Manager'' or ''Sales'' role are unable to duplicate a [Contract] under conditions where the, for example, ''Traffic'' role is able to do so.
* Exceptions
** ObjectDisposedException in [Dashboard].RefreshTodoCheckEnvironment(): Under just the right conditions (timing), when the application is checking the Microsoft Windows environment settings at the exact time that the application is being shut down this exception occurs.
** ArgumentOutOfRangeException in [ContractLineItemNonSpot|ContractLineItem].StartDateEditValueChanged(): If a start date of 1/2/9999 (or greater) is used as the start date for an [ContractLineItemNonSpot|ContractLineItem], this exception occurs.
** NullReferenceException in [Contract].HandleBillingCycleInvoiceTypeValues(): After reviewing this exception, I'm left with the assumption that it was encountered due "Retry/Cancel" window being presented just at the right time during the loading process and the Cancel button was selected.  If this is the case, it is possible that the data for the ''Billing Cycle'' and/or ''Invoice Type'' were not available and, as such, could cause this exception.

====1961====
{br}
* Modified
** Improve: The auto-archive mechanism now handles archiving of [contracts] that have had [invoices] where [Finance_Charges_2013|finance charges] applied.
** Hotfix: Problem with [SS32] [log] incorrectly exporting as [Synchronicity].


====1960====
{br}
* Added
** Added initial support for [Rumple].
** Added initial support for [Synchronicity].
* Modified
** Improve: When creating a new line in a [Contract], the first line will default the [copy] length based on the history of the [customer] and the subsequent lines will default the [copy] length to the length of the first spot-based line.  If no existing [copy] history for the [customer], the default will remain at existing default of 30 seconds.
** Improve: When pressing the F1 key in the [Billing] window, the documentation target page now takes into account which tab is currently selected.
** Improve: When pressing the F1 key on the [Agency] window while the cursor (focus) is on the ''EDI#'' field the target page will be related to [EDI].
** Improve: Pressing the F1 key on the [SendSmile|Send a Smile] and [SendFrown|Send a Frown] windows no longer goes to the same target page; a separate documentation entry has been created for each of these.
** Fix: Several "lists" are not updating automatically if you create a new item and use the Apply button before the OK button.
** Fix: Grammar on [Dashboard] related to having only one [ticket] should be ''is'' not ''are''.
** Fix: The [Dashboard] window does have a reasonable minimum size.
** Fix: The [Billing] window does not have a reasonable minimum size.
** Fix: When creating a new [customer], the ''Billing'' tab contains a blue "informational" glyph that serves zero purpose for our [Client45_Essentials|Essentials] clients.
** Fix: It is should not be possible to add additional lines to a [contract] that canceled/aborted.
** Fix: It is should not be possible to make any changes to a [contract] that has been aborted (canceled before it ever started).
** Fix: Reverse finalized [invoices] that are of the ''Begin of Schedule'' [billing] cycle creates significant issues and confusion.
** Fix: When modifying a debit adjustment where the [salesperson] (for whatever reason) is missing, the OK button is available when changing the amount and shouldn't be since the [salesperson] issue hasn't been resolved (red exclamation visible).
** Fix: When switching the ''period'' from something to "Custom Dates" and doing nothing else but clicking the ''Reload'' button on the [ReportInventory|Inventory] report, no data is returned.  This was due to the date(s) not being modified any further; in other words, changing from "This Week" to "Custom Dates" without actually modifying the date(s) would cause the issue.
** Fix: The end date is being set "strangely" when adding a new line to a [contract] that as "long expired".
** Fix: In EXP, when bumping all spots in an avail and the avail contains one or more ''fill'' spots, the application crashes.
* Exceptions
** InvalidCastException in InventoryReport.FilterReportNew(): Now that items that have a "None" value in Revenue Source, Revenue Type or Sales Person are being included in the Inventory report; there are some circumstances where it causes the filtering to crash.  This is resolved in this update.

===April 2017===

====1954====
{br}
* Modified
** It is now possible to (optionally) utilize TFN on [Copy] that will be used for [MUSTFILL].
** It is now possible to (optionally) "break the linkage" between "linked" [Contracts] by prepending the exclamation ("bang") symbol to the ''estimate number''.  Note: This symbol will not be printed on the resulting [confirmation](s).
** Modified log editor to include "additional details" in the summary info when attempting to place a spot into an avail that would violate the defined scheduling rules.  These include: 
*** If a conflict violation, the first spot found that produces the conflict.
*** If a daypart violation, the start/end times that would be valid.

====1953====
{br}
* Added
** It is now possible to modify the Estimate # field after a [Contract] has been approved and/or completed.  (NOTE: This change might be temporary; we'll need to monitor this closely over the short term to decide one way or the other.)
* Modified
** Fixed an issue where the "start date" of a line item (one in the far past) was being shown a being "more recent" which resulted in the start date being greater than the end date preventing the line from being able to be modified in any manner due to the error condition created.

====1952====
{br}
* Added
** Added support for TFN end dates on Copy.
** Added ability to add new line items to approved contracts ("within reason").
** Added optional Estimate # to the Invalid Contract/Rotation/Copy report.
* Modified
** Modified Contract window summary so that existing items in the contract aren't doubled when initially opening the contract.
** Modified the User window so that the permissions are automatically cleared if the account logon (check box) is removed.
** Fixed issue with "archive" not being in data result from server for ListEditorAsync base window; exception occurring when right clicking on any of the items in the Agency, Automation Command, Conflict, Log Note, Placement, Program, Station and User lists.
** Modified the "Gathering Invoices" (EXP) window so that it prints in the order displayed (instead of by customer/invoice#).
** Fixed issue where Export to Excel+ being enabled for EXP not allowing for an Invoice to be exported directly within the Invoice window.
** (EXP) Fixed issue with Print Statements not allowing check/uncheck with the mouse.
** Modified the import so that min/max is determined instead of sorting the whole list; it's possible that sorting could have unintended side affects. Determining min/max accomplishes that same result without introducing other potential problems.
** Fixed issue where, in some (rare?) circumstances, the start time would end up being greater than the end time when importing from Counterpoint; taken care of by sorting the subset result set before getting the first/last entries.
** Fixed issue with "archived" column not existing in ListEditor when right clicking (context menu) on an item.
** Modified Copy (list) editor so that the New (menu, context and button) tools are not available if no Customers currently exist (new system).
** Modified list editor (async) to support "Archive" (in addition to "Trash") - implemented for Copy.  Further adjusted so that the archived entries are no longer drawn through with a line (which is what delete does) and now includes a prepended folder icon to represent that it's archived in addition to the Status column reflecting "Archived".
** Fixed issue with Tools->Approve not available when initially duplicating a contract.
** Modified so that "auto archive" is now actually automatic (when logging in); currently limited to running once per every 4 hours.
** Fixed problem where start date could be extended way beyond contract range when using duplicate of a line item on a running contract.
** Fixed issue where a role that doesn't have access to one station tries to create a new line on a contract and only has access to a single station causes the new line to have a blank station that can't be modified.
** When switching to the Projection tab in Contracts, the column headers are displaying internal db fields names; modified so that they show friendly placeholder values while loading.
** A contract line item is now restricted to an "annual" range; if needing to go beyond an annual period, please duplicate the line.
** The Rotation Assignment menu item in the Log is now visible only when available in an effort to reduce/remove confusion experienced by XP->EXP conversion.
** Fixed typos in message presented as part of the Exception Information window.
** Fixed issue with Inventory report not playing nicely with the Revenue Source, Revenue Type and/or Sales Person columns containing "None".
** ([EZ-NET]) Updated to support changes made to the white-boxed CounterPoint software on USRN and Sun.
** Fixed misnamed (copy-paste type) for the Revenue Projection "Net" report (was showing as titled "Gross").
** Fixed issue where changes made to remove Tools Approve/Cancel making it so that approve was not available when combined with revising an existing contract.
** If at least one line on a contract contains a rate, remove "None" from Billing Cycle and Invoice Type; conversely, if all items are modified to no longer contain a rate, add back "None" (if available).
** The off-air revenue button is no longer available if billing cycle and/or invoice type is "None".
** The rate field on a contract line item (spot) is no longer available if billing cycle and/or invoice type is "None".
** Modified Settings window to launch items using a single click (or touch) - brining up to date with the Dashboard only requiring a single click.
** Modified access modifier for the context menu on contract line items to show the Delete tool to be CTRL (not SHIFT) for consistency.
** Removed "redundant questions" related to placing spots on the log that violate scheduling restrictions (rules); meaning all that it now takes to violate (force) placement is to utilize the shift key - all questions are no longer asked.
** When adding a line to a contract, the "summary" is now updated to reflect the additional spots/OAR.
** An added line to a contract now shows as "safety orange" in color.  When canceling a line on a contract, the Qty and Revenue no longer change; making the numbers the same as when you close and reopen the contract. Instead, the trashed count column updates as expected. Additionally, the overall summary now updates to reflect the cancel action taking place; giving the (again) same result as when you close and reopen the contract.
** Modified so that the Tools->Cancel and Approve menu items are only visible "independently" based on the status of the contract.
** Fixed issue with rotation up/down buttons not working as expected (visually) highlighting rotation line items. When two rotations exist, the up would be enabled when the down should and vice versa when the second one was highlighted (backwards).
** When adding a new line item to a running contract, the start and end dates are now restricted to more appropriate and reasonable dates based on logs, invoices and overall contract length (billing cycle).
** Modified Export Statement button to be available regardless of EXP (if Export to Excel+ is enabled). Also fixed issue related the Export Statement button not being enabled/disabled in the same manner as the Print Statement button.
** Modified so that the line(s) added to an approved contract no long highlight in red (error); instead, they are shown in construction orange.
** When adding a new line to an existing approved contract, the new line will automatically be approved/populated when saving the contract.
** Ability to set billing cycle and/or invoice type to 'None' on an approved contract available if you are an Administrator - reason being that only Administrator role should be able to delete; which setting a contract that wasn't "None" to "None" will cause the invoices to be deleted.
** No longer allow for billing cycle or invoice type to be set to 'None' on contracts that approved. Modified so that if the billing cycle / invoice type is "None" on an existing approved contract and the ability to select "None" is no longer available, gracefully handles that is was set to this previously. Also modified to handle "Begin of Schedule" in the same manner.
** Added pending print and email confirmation notifications to the dashboard.
* Exceptions
** NullException in [Contract]: Gracefully handle of exception when attempting to right click on a [Contract] that contains zero line items (highlighted in red).
** Win32Exception in [Invoice].Load(): Under some circumstances Windows reflects an invalid permission response when attempting to send the TAB key to the current window; it's possible that the window focus has changed to another window, however, no additional details have been able to be determined.
** InvalidCastException in [Log].MustFillPlacement_Action(): Unable to reproduce and we have no further details; just making changes in an effort to prevent the specific exception from being able to occur in the future (hardening).

===March 2017===

====1941====
{br}
* Added
** Introducing two new reports: [ReportRevenueProjectionAnnualGross|Revenue Projection (12 Month Gross)] and [ReportRevenueProjectionAnnualNet|Revenue Projection (12 Month Net)] that expand the range of the projections to a full year but restrict the amount of information when compared to the standard [ReportRevenueProjection|Revenue Projection] report.
* Modified
** When undoing the cancelation of a canceled [Contract], off-air revenue entries now "un-trash" in the same manner as spots.
** The [ReportRevenueProjectionAnnualGross|Revenue Projection (12 Month Gross)] and [ReportRevenueProjectionAnnualNet|Revenue Projection (12 Month Net)] were not completely including the projected numbers beyond the initial three months; it appears, in some cases, it was duplicating one of the columns across the rest of the columns while in other cases the additional (9 month) columns were blank.  This has been corrected.
** Modified [Confirmations] so that any additional (not selected) [Confirmations] are automatically included in the circumstance where the ''estimate number'' matches one of the included [Confirmations].
** Modified the result set of [Confirmations] so that the sorted result is what was received as part of the query instead of forcing being sorted "by [Customer]".
** (Owner) The "Owner" add-on has been modified as to no longer require any other prepreq add-on(s) in order to function; making the "Owner" add-on completely independent of other add-on(s).
** (Report Template) Fixed an issue that prevented trashing of a Report Template based report unless another add-on (prereq) was also active.  Removed the requirement for the prereq as this was a left over from a prior version.
** (Report Template) Fixed an issue where an Administrator Assistant (when enabled) could not trash a Report Template based report unless they were also an Administrator (which is not possible).
* Exceptions
** InvalidCastException in [SpotPlacement].ForceTrash(): When attempting to force the status to trash for a target spot/OAR, the application would generate this exception.  This has been resolved.
** WebException in [SendFrown].Send(): If network connection is lost/broken at the exact instance that an frown is attempting to be sent to the server, the application throws this exception.  This has been improved by adding a retry/cancel mechanism.

====1940====
{br}
* Added
** (EXP) Added ability to force bump and force OAR in the "Spot Placement" window; better supporting trashed spots/OAR entries.
* Modified
** Corrected issue with [EzAutomation] [Log] export failing due to hours/breaks/entries special formatting rules being applied.
** Changed the word "order" to "contract" in the [Rotation] window warning related to start/end date restrictions.
* Exceptions
** DirectoryNotFoundException in [Station].AutomationLogPathButton(): The error message reads, "Could not find special directory 'My Documents'."  This has been modified to no longer generate an exception; instead it now presents an error message stating the issue and aborts the process until it can be resolved by fixing whatever is wrong at the OS / user rights/permission level.
** NullReferenceException in Permissions(): Under some circumstances (timing), it appears that it was possible that permissions being determined were failing due the permissions not being available.  This has been corrected.
** (Revise) InvalidCastException in [Contract].Load(): When attempting to ''Revise'' a [Contract] that has already "completed" but before the effective final date of the last billing cycle of the [Contract] has expired.  This has been corrected.  Additional details: Depending on options configured, the ''End Date'' of the previous [Contract] would potentially display "?????".

===February 2017===

====1939====
{br}
* Modified
** It is now possible to ''Split'' a [Contract] that has "completed" but hasn't yet crossed the end date of the effective final date of the last billing cycle of the [Contract].
** (Revise) The ''Auto Archive'' tool in the [Contracts] window now handles ''revision chains''.
** On some workstations the [Contract] window as incorrectly sizing the line items causing the ''New'' and ''Off Air Revenue'' buttons to be not visible.  This update __'''attempts'''__ to resolve this issue.
** The [Contracts], [AR] and [Tickets] windows can no longer be sized below a set minimum height/width.

====1938====
{br}
* Modified
** The overall concept of "Correction Mode" is being removed from this version going forward; in other words, it's a term that is meaningless and doesn't apply to the product.  From this point forward if you can make changes, you can make changes.  There isn't anything to be "activated" to enable these changes to take place.
** It is now possible to choose "Expiring" as a range in the [ReportContract|Contract] report.
** (Report Templates) The "Template" column is no longer visible in the [Reports] window if ''Report Templates'' add-on is not available as it is meaningless without the add-on.
** The [Tickets] window has been enhanced in such a way that, regardless of product license, is fully enabled with all enhancements.

====1937====
{br}
* Modified
** The ''Automatic Archive'' tool in the [Contracts] window has been modified to review [Customer] accounts further an only archive if the following conditions are true:
*** No existing active [contracts].
*** Balance is $0.00.
*** [Customer] is more than 365 days old.
*** Last [contract] to finish did so over 365 days ago.
*** Last payment/adjustment applied to the [Customer] occurred more than 365 days ago.
** Additionally, the ''Automatic Archive'' tool has been modified to only archive [Contracts] that have been completed/paid for at least 60 days.
** The ''Automatic Archive'' tool has been extended to include review/archive of [Copy].  [Copy] will archive based on the "recycle" timeframe defined in the [Group] settings.  Of note though is whenever this value is set to 0 or -1, the [Copy] archive check utilizes 60 days.
** It is now possible for the ''Traffic'' role to take advantage of "correction mode" for [Contracts] that do not have any [Invoices] already finalized.
** It is no longer possible to "undo cancel" of an approved ''Begin of Schedule'' [contract].
** In the circumstance where, at one time, there were more than one [station] in the system and payments were entered as "Any" for the [station] field where one or more [stations] were then ''trashed''... opening a payment would display the [station] as being incorrect since "Any" was no longer available (due there now only being a single [station].  The system now takes this situation into account.
** The ''Statement'' tab in the [AR] window no longer allows a pivot date prior to 1/1/1753.
** ([EZ-NET]) ''Texas State Networks'' was inadvertently dropped from the supported networks in the Tools/Options window making it impossible to update the username/password for this network.  This has been corrected.

====1936====
{br}
* Added
** (Sales) It is now possible to activate an option to BCC the sales person of record for each and every [Invoice] that is sent via email so that they may be "kept in the loop" regarding [Invoices] being sent to their [Customers].
* Modified
** The [ReportLog|Log] report has been modified to take into account (include) spots that have been reconciled but not invoiced due to the ''billing cycle'' and/or ''invoice type'' being set to ''None''.

===January 2017===

====1935====
{br}
* Modified
* (EmailMyTimes) The ability to configure the EmailMyTimes email on the [Customer] window was not available in all circumstances where it should be.  This update resolves this issue.

====1934====
{br}
* Modified
** The "calculator" available through "Ratio" button on the [Rotation] window has been modified to remove unnecessary "extras".
** (Goals) Recent changes to the Sales add-on caused an issue with the Goals add-on being available no longer presenting the Goals reports as the Goals add-on is "no longer available"; however, we want to still make it available for those that had it before it being deprecated (thus being grandfathered).  This update resolves this issue.

====1933====
{br}
* Added
** It is now possible to filter ''Unit (Avail)'' on the [Log].
** It is now possible to "flag" [Confirmations] as having been printed by utilizing the shift key to toggle the button.
* Modified
** (EmailMyTimes) In an effort to better support the usage scenarios of ''EmailMyTimes'', separating the ability to use and the actual actively enabling it.  What this means is that it will be possible to configure/manage the ''EmailMyTimes'' settings while it is not actually ''active'' (meaning it doesn't actually send anything when you lock the [Log]).  In other words, you can configure the settings across your [Customers], run [Reports], etc. and after reviewing, activate the actual sending of the emails when locking the [Log].  This also means that you can temporarily suspend the usage of ''EmailMyTimes'' if necessary if the need should arise where you need to review all of these related settings.
** Fixed issue with the [SpotDetail] window not presenting the right information/capabilities.
** The ''Split'' tool in [Contracts] is no longer marked as ''(*BETA*)''.
** Removed "odd" lines being visible under some specific circumstances from the [Copy] item context menu in the [Rotation] window.
** (Report Templates) If you have the ''Report Templates'' add-on and do not have [MyViews]; [Reports] will have [MyViews] enabled as part of the ''Report Templates'' functionality.
* Exceptions
** NullReferenceException in [Contracts].FilterReport(): In the rare circumstance that you have a situation where the [Contracts] window contains zero customers and you click on the ''Projection'' tab, the application crashes.  This has been resolved.

====1929====
{br}
* Reverted
** Removed "Charts"; reverted to the "Todo" entries.

====1928====
{br}
* Added
** --Added "Charts" to the [Dashboard] (replacing the "Todo" entries).--
** Added color-coded "aging" to [Tickets].
** Added optional "Estimate #" column to [AR].
* Modified
** Inventory report has been modified to allow for a few columns to be manipulated (group by, sort, etc.).
** The ''Delete'' tool on a [Contract] line item is no longer visible unless in ''correction mode'' and the shift key is pressed.
** Fixed an issue with Debit Adjustments not showing the correct revenue type when re-opened.
** The "print statement" check box on the [Customer] window was incorrectly being set to true under certain conditions.
** Fixed issue with, under certain rare conditions, rounding of agency commission not matching between [Confirmation] and [Invoice].
** Corrected issue where "None" was incorrectly available as an "Invoice Type" when activating "correction mode" on a [Contract].
