Version 4.01.04, 10/10/99

Appointment Book
Rearranged the screen a little so that first 2 phone numbers could be shown instead of just 1.

Attendance Count Report
Header said "Date" when is should have been "Name". Fixed.

Attendance Warns When Payments Overdue
You can turn this behavior off in File > Open > System Setup > System > System Options. If you have billing company payments, you'll want to turn this off.

Billing Company Payments
The first two students on the contract are shown in addition to the buyer and monthly payment amount

Contract Screen
MasterVision was allowing changes to down paymnet, number of payments, cash price, and interest rate after the contract had been made official. This had no effect on the actual payments that were due, it only effected the display of the contract screen. Fixed the contract screen to not allow these changes.

End Of Day
The end of day routine changes a student to status X when their expiration date is reached. Added an option under File > Open > System Setup > System > System Variables to give a certain number of days leeway to the expiration. It defaults to 7. With the default, a student will be changed to Status X 7 days after their expiration date is reached.

Find Student - F8 or Right-Mouse Click
Finding a student by last name using either of these methods would not find a student who had a space at the beginning of the last name. The find student screen would find them. Fixed this routine so it would find them as well.

Point of Sale
When recording a PAYMENT, the student pin was not saved with the payment item. When running a sales by student report, none of the monthly payments would show. Fixed this.

Tip: In the inventory, find the FINANCE PAYMENT item. Check the "Ask For Student ID". MasterVision will now ask for a student ID when recording a finance payment. Do the same thing with DOWN PAYMENT.

Limitation: A contract can have more than 1 student on it but MasterVision can only record a payment to 1 student. The finance payment is only going to show on one of the students (the one whose pin number was entered on the point of sale screen).

Point of Sale - Find
When trying to find a point of sale by number you had to enter the full P00000XXXX to find it. Changed the find so you can just enter the last non-zero numbers.

Renewal Form
The two monthly calculations (24 and 36 by default) were incorrect. Corrected them.

Selector
Added ABC status as a criteria

Selector Report
Did some rearranging so that the Level field could be bigger.

Voided Sales
New report in the POS category that shows point of sale orders that were voided

Version 4.01.02, 9/8/99

Attendance

When taking scheduled attendance, a warning message is displayed for students that have a payment due that day. You can turn this behavior off in File > Open > System Setup > System > System Options.

Billing Company Payment Recording

A previous version allowed you to enter a different date than today's for recording the payment but the button "Show Payments Entered Today" only shows payments entered with today's date. Changed the button to show any payments for the currently entered date.

Contract Down Payments

If a contract was paid in full with a single down payment, it is possible that MasterVision would collect the down payment but still think that it is due. Fixed.

Email Address

A field has been added for email for a student. It is on page 2 of the student screens and on the quick update screen.

End of Day

When a student reaches his expire date, the end of day routine now changes them to status X.

Help File

Completely redid the on-line help file.

Import Program

Last contact is set to today when importing info calls

Late Fees

Previously MasterVision created a late fee charge and an entry in the appointment book for the late fee on the same day. Added a new entry in the File > Open > System Setup > Contracts > Defaults called "Late Fee Appoint Book Entry". This controls the number of days the payment has to be late before the warning is created. This allows you to have the warning created one 1 day and the late fee actually generated on a different (probably later) date.

Purge Open Prospects

This routine is now working. It will purge any open prospects (Status "O") with an inquiry date before a date you enter.

Selector - Groups/Clubs

The Groups/Clubs criteria has existed for a while. If you choose more than 1 group or club, the selector gives you all students who are in either club.

Selector - Classes

There is now a classes button on the selector that will allow you to find students enrolled in a class. If you select more than 1 class, the selector returns all students who are in any of the classes.

Y2K

All dates with a year less than "80" are now turned into year 2000 dates. So 1/1/00 in MasterVision will become 1/1/2000. MasterVision still displays 4 digit years everywhere in the program.

Version 4.01.01, 7/12/99

EFC Express Form

Shows the account # as the Billing Co # if one is entered. Otherwise it shows the MasterVision contract number.

Inventory Report
Now shows the total value of each inventory item by cost and retail. Shows total value of the inventory.

Version 4.01.00, 6/24/99

Groups/Clubs

If you changed data sources, the groups and club information did not update. Fixed.

Info Appointments

Open infocall, schedule intro, click to Next infocall, schedule intro has the previous person's name show up. Fixed.

Pictures!!!

You can now have pictures with infocalls and students. On the student and infocall screens is a picture button that opens up the new picture form.

On the quick update screen, any student picture is displayed and you can also get to the picture form.

On the selector, there is a new label option called "Bar-Code Picture Labels (5363)". This works with the Avery 5363 laminated ID cards.

The picture form works as follows: The pictures have to be bitmap (BMP) files for now. Any graphics program can create bitmap files. The picture form has two buttons: The "Import" button will automatically insert the bitmap file called STUDPICT.BMP from the main MasterVision directory. The "File" button will ask you for a file name. You can select any bitmap file you like.

Since we are importing pictures, you can use anything you like to create the picture: A portable digital camera, a scanner, or a digital camera that attaches to the computer (simple to use, about $80-$160.) You take the picture with the software that comes with the device. Save that picture as a bitmap and then import it into MasterVision.

MasterVision is looking for a small file (less than 160 x 120 pixels which is a standard). You'll want to have the person's face in the upper, left side of the photo you take.
