Measuring Your Studio's Success

There are many ways to measure your studio's success. One of them is to look at your profit and loss. So the developers have added in a new report labeled "Profit/Loss Report". To find it go to the Reports section of the Basic/Professional Suite and then select the tab labeled "PDF Reports". In both the Basic and Professional Suite it is the last report in the list.

Take a look at it and let us know what you think. We love to hear your feedback and we will do our best to meet your needs. The development team is working on additional reports that we will announce on the blog when they become available as well.

Quickly Adding Expenses

Have you ever need to quickly add an expense to your books? Well now you can. We have added a button to the Quick Tasks Window that shows up on the left of the Basic and Professional Suites labeled "New Expense". This will allow you to quickly and easily add a new expense to the system. Although this is something very small, we hope that it will help to increase your studio's efficiency.

Last Week's Updates

At the end of last week the StudioCloud development team made some updates that we just wanted to let you know about. The first update was to the login process. The development team has sped up the login in process considerable.

The second update was in the Bookkeeping section of the Basic and Professional Suites. If you go to the tab labeled "Accounts" in the Bookkeeping section and edit or create a new account you can now add a starting balance for that account. Currently all of your accounts will have a starting balance of zero but if you add in a starting balance then the account balance will be calculated based on that starting balance.

The last change was in the Search functionality of the Client section of the Basic and Professional Suite. Last week we added in the ability to assign "tags" to customers to help track additional information. Now in the search box on the bottom of the client and prospective client lists you can search for tags that have been assigned to customers. This is one way of finding your customers even more quickly.

StudioCloud Bookkeeping

In last night's update there was a change to the bookkeeping section of the Basic and Professional Suites. In the bookkeeping section there is a tab named "Income/Expense Tracking". Previously this tab listed all of your bookkeeping entries in one table. However, we realize that you need to see specific information on a per account basis. As a result, the developers updated this area last night. When you first login you will not see any entries in the table on the "Income/Expense Tracking" tab. But you will see a drop-down box labeled "Account:" That drop-down box contains a list of all of your accounts. When you select an account in the drop-down box the bookkeeping entries that have been associated with that account will appear.

One final note, there are occasions when some bookkeeping entries have not been assigned to an account. As a result there is one option in the drop-down box that is labeled "Unspecified." Selecting this option will show you all of the bookkeeping entries that have not been associated with an account.
