Feature Updates

1) A change to printing and emailing invoices
a. After you click print or email it will pop up a box with various options. If you click email, one of those options is to modify the email address you want to send it to
b. To print an invoice with notes you click print/email and click the box that asks about notes
c. You can print your entire packages information in the invoice or just the basic package info

2) When you add a new client from any of the create/edit calendar session windows it automatically adds the client to the list for the session you are scheduling.

3) Track Organizations
a. Under Clients there is a tab Organizations where you can track different organizations and the individual clients that are associated with that organization. For example, you can assign seniors to the high school they attend. This will allow you to run reports in the CRM (coming soon) to track your most profitable school, send out targeted mail/email campaigns, and find the average sale per school.

New Offline Reader

The Offline Reader has been updated to work with the Professional Suite and has a new interface. For those of you not currently using the Offlline Reader you can download it at http://studiocloud.com/BasicOfflineReader.html. This will allow you to access all of your data when you do not have an internet connection. Make sure you frequently open the program so that all of your data can refresh.

Keep your eye out for the On-Location product coming soon. This product looks just like your Basic/Professional Suite but is on your desktop. You can take it anywhere without internet access and then when you get internet access it will sync your information with your online suite.

Windows and Daylight Savings Time

The support team has recently received several reports from customers seeing the incorrect time for their appointments on Microsoft Windows computers. It is especially noticeable if you use both Windows and Mac computers. After investigation the team found that this problem is due to Microsoft Windows not correctly updating to accommodate the recent changes to Daylight Savings Time. This year, in the United States and Canada, Daylight Savings Time began earlier than normal. Most likely your computer updated correctly and you won't have a problem. However, if you are seeing incorrect times in your calendar then we encourage you to follow the instructions on this Microsoft support page: http://support.microsoft.com/DST2007 If you have any questions please contact support.
