What's New in Dealer Station 6.3.2
Friday, Aug. 18, 2006
Dear Dealer Station® Customers:
We will load version 6.3.2 onto your Web storefront servers Friday, Aug. 18, 2006. We plan to begin the update process at 10:30 PM Eastern Time and anticipate completion by midnight ET.
As you may know, ECinteractive® and is.D-Force(R) 2, formerly code-named “Project Cozumel,” are in final testing at selected dealer sites. The following reports were designed to assist in migrating customers to the new sites. We will provide detailed instructions separately in a conversion kit, once the new sites are in general release. Meanwhile, the following enhancements are included for your use after this maintenance release:
- Added a detailed report of user settings to assist dealers in selecting customers to migrate and setting up Customer Groups in the new sites. The dealer can view the report on-screen, and export to a comma-separated value (CSV) file for importing into a spreadsheet. There is also a tool to migrate settings to the new sites. (#3056sf)
- Added two reports regarding the approval tree. For each user, one report will list and identify the approver(s). For each approver, the other report will list and identify the users whose orders require their authorization. Each report will also identify each user’s account, department, cc emails, level, dollar limit, extended dollar limit, item unit price, authorized maximum dollars month, non-contract items, and amount over monthly budget. The dealer can view on-screen, and export to a comma-separated value (CSV) file for importing into a spreadsheet. (#3121sfm)
Version 6.3.2 is a maintenance release that also includes the following software corrections, pending final testing:
- Corrected the Results page to indicate when an item is restricted from ordering like the search and cart pages do, instead of the message, "We are sorry that item does not have a detail record." (#3144sf)
- Corrected the budget display when the user initially logs in so that it no longer reflects the budget displayed for the previous user who was logged in to the site. The displayed budget is now the correct amount for the user who is currently logged in. (#3125s)
- Corrected the Favorites function of the Admin Control Panel, specifically related to assigned departments. You can build a Global Favorites List and assign it to specific departments. When the consumers log in, selecting an assigned department, they see the items on the assigned Global Favorites List. If the user chooses a department that is not assigned to the Global Favorites List, that list will no longer be displayed. (#3106sf)
- Corrected the Account News page of the Admin Control Panel to accurately reflect the active accounts, rather than all accounts that have been used for the site, after users have been deleted. (#3066sf)
- Corrected the end user site to display the Product Showcase when valid product lists are defined in the Admin Control Panel. (#3028f)
- Corrected the calculation of the monthly budget balance to properly reflect the Budget Used value from the previous month. (#1719s)
- Corrected an issue with departments that do not have a budget defined, when approval is required. If the user is set up to require approval when over budget, they can place the order if they log in to another department that has no budget. (#785sf)
- Corrected some programming regarding sales tax for accounts with multiple attentions and shipping destinations. If, for example, the customer’s main account is taxable but a secondary location is marked as not taxable in the back end system, orders from the non-taxable location will no longer add sales tax. (#3130sf)
We hope this information is helpful!
Sincerely,
ECi Technical Support
