Version 9.1 Release June 13, 2021
We are releasing Version 9.1 of ServiceBox on June 13, 2021. This version contains the following:
1. We've gotten excellent feedback about our New Look and have incorporated much of the items that were reflected back to us. This version marks the end of support for the old look. All customers will be moved over to the new look without the option to switch back. This will allow us alot more flexibility moving forward to make changes in the system without having to support two looks and feels. Please keep the feedback coming, it's your comments that help shape the product.
2. We have added SMS Messaging into the system as our first ever 'Add-On' to ServiceBox. SMS messaging will allow you to text one or more phone numbers with your 'Day Before' notifications on work orders, along with your En Route notifications. Because this option increases our costs, we have decided this will have to be a paid 'Add-On' to the system. To add an SMS Plan, go to your 'Settings->Plan->Add Ons'. Select the type (currently just 'SmsMessaging') and add in the plan. We currently only have one option at $10/month which includes 500 sms messages with additional messages at 2.5 cents per message. Once you do this, you can specify one or more phone numbers to receive messages for your En Route and Day Before notifications on the work order. Each message to each phone number is counted as a message.
3. We had an issue when the date drop-down is near the bottom of the screen and the calendar moves below the browser window. That has now been fixed. The window will now ensure the full date control is visible in the screen.
4. We added an 'Are you sure...' prompt when deleting work order materials and invoice items.
5. We adjusted our workorder alerts so that alerts are no longer sent out if a workorder is scheduled in the past.
