New Features & Improvements
- The application has been updated to utilize a newer Windows technology, transitioning from .NET 4.8 to .NET 8 for increased performance and security. That's a lot of techno-jargon, but in a nutshell, it's a big deal! 😁️
-
Added the ability to Merge contact profiles from either the Contact Search form or Contact Profile.
-
Added the ability to apply a Flat amount line item discount on invoices (previously, only percent discounts could be applied to individual items, and the Flat amount could only be applied to the entire invoice).
-
The Gross Receipts report has been updated to show only Invoice Types with an amount greater than zero (hiding unused invoice types). The Discounts section now displays Retail Gifts Given and Discounts separately.
- Updated the SMTP from Basic Authentication to Modern Authentication for Microsoft Email accounts (applicable to those using email addresses such as outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com, and msn.com) that want to utilize sending email through Boulevard (including invoices).
- The Move function on the Unit List toolbar has been renamed to Update, and a new function has been added to update the Unit Number for multiple contacts simultaneously. View
- Text has been added to the toolbar buttons in Credit Receivables for clarity. View
- For better clarity, when restoring a newer backup in a previously released version of Boulevard, a message box will appear prompting installation of the current service release. View
- The Description column on an Inventory Order has been widened to allow the item description to be viewed fully using the description search field. View
- When moving a contact profile from either the Customer or Address List to the Unit List, a pop-up message provides additional information to inform the user to select Clear Filters and add the consultant number to the profile. View
- When selecting the List button on an Inventory Order, the filter issue for categories with both retail and supplies was corrected, preventing duplicate quantities from being added to the order. View
- Formula fields on the Main tab of the customer profile allow only 25 characters to be entered in the field, ensuring the profile can be saved successfully.
- The Description field for the Product Purchases report has been increased to 51 characters to accommodate Direct Ship invoices where the customer's first and last name use the maximum number of characters (25 for each field).
-
Company address information has been updated on the GST/PST Rebate report. - Removed the extra blank page included in the Summary of Expenses report.
- When an older part number is merged into a newer one, the printed Product Order report displays the latest part number and description. If a product is deleted from the product list, the part number field will be blank, but the description information will be retained.
- Reduced the margins from .75" to .35" for the Inventory view on the Product List to allow more viewable space.
- The QR Code Generator preview window has been reduced in size.
- The filter label for the Customer Statement of Account report has been corrected to Include Inactive.
