Design Module

General

On forms with “contact” information (Client, Vendor & Spec Forms), added button to link to non-empty web addresses, added special mouse cursor to signify active web and email links wherever they appear.

Vendors

Added alternate payment address for use on check requests.

Projects

Added "Invoice client, send to us as agent" option, modified billing address display and printing to create "return" address based on this setting.

Room budget and count can now be entered directly in the Room List section of the screen.

Library

Added "Import" option to Add and Edit commands to pull specs from projects.

Added price locking feature that protects manually entered prices from being recalculated after cost changes (more detail under “Specifications”).

Specifications

Image Selection: When you use the “Select” button to attach an image, FF&Z now checks for an existing IMAGES folder image with an exact match for the spec’s vendor/catalog combination. If one is found, it pre-fills the selection with the existing image (this works if you follow the recommended automatic approach to naming image files).

Added price locking feature that protects manually entered prices from being changed if the cost is changed later. Normally, changing a cost will cause the price to be recalculated based on the markup %. If you enter a price manually, the system will now display a checkmark in the adjacent “Lock price?” field and the markup fields will be disabled and recalculated automatically. The price is also protected if a new markup or profit margin is entered on the Project Screen. In all cases, you can change the price manually regardless of the lock setting.

Specification price can now be entered directly on the Specification List at the top of the screen.

Added auto-text to shipping note for single letter entries A, D, d, S and s. To use it, enter a single character from this list into the “Shipping note” field. When you move off of the field, the auto-text will appear (“ASAP,” “Deliver by” or “Ship by.” For the latter two, entering an upper-case “D” or “S” will generate an upper-case note.

Objects

Object budget can now be entered directly in the Object List section of the screen.

Worksheet

Added "Pricing Detail by Vendor, Spec" report.

Added "round up" option for estimated tax (in addition to freight) on quotes and added both options to the pricing detail reports. This lets you make these two totals look more like “estimates” when quoting approximate pricing.

Adjusted the way the “Clone” command works to emphasize that it is copying the object usage to another room, as opposed to any other interpretation.
