Version 8.8 was released this weekend. The release includes the following:
Enhancements
1. You now have the ability to set quote and invoice categories to 'Restricted Add' and 'Restricted Edit'. Restricted Add will not allow basic users to add items into the quote, invoice or workorder for these categories. They will have to pick from a list. By default admins will have access to add items. Restricted Edit will prevent users from changing the unit cost or markup on items that already exist in the database. If they are able to add new items in (ie. the category is not set to 'restricted add'), they can set the unit cost and markup for the new item but once it is saved to the back end, they can no longer change it.
2. Plan change and Signup warning on annual plan - When changing your plan in the system, you will get a warning if you are changing from a monthly to annual plan. This is to prevent unintentional plan changes to annual plans. There will be a checkbox to confirm that you agree to the conditions of the annual plan (ie. no partial refunds for downgrading mid term).
3. Roadmap - We added in a 'Road Map' menu item which will show what is under review, planned and in progress in the submitted feature requests.
Other items
We have been working hard to upgrade the look and feel of ServiceBox. We are planning on increasing the screen real estate used by the app and modernizing it's look. This should be coming in a few months in a preview form that users can opt in and out of.
We have also been working hard to stabilize the mobile app. Given the wide range of devices being used, this has proved quite complex but we are hoping to be near a final stable version of the app.
