New Features - 11-3 Build 2

Welcome to Collect! Version 11.3 Build 2. This latest version has many new features and functionality. There are also many optimizations and enhancements to existing features.

Time Management

This new option in the Tools menu enables you to track time spent on a task. This is very useful for tracking time for billing purposes. You can create as many Timers as you want, starting and stopping them as needed and restarting to accumulate time spent on each particular job. Totals can be automatically written to a CSV file for recording and billing.

Please refer to Help topic, Time Management for details.

Numerics Only SSN Field

A new option in Options, Sounds and Colors enables you to strip non-numerics from SSN numbers as they are entered into Collect!. This makes it very easy to set up your accounts for compatibility with automated processes that read the SSN number, such as skip tracing. The SSNs are automatically configured to the numerics only format required for these systems, as soon as you leave the SSN field.

Please refer to Help topic, Screen and Messages for details.

Run Plans On Changes

Three new options in Screen and Messages enable you to automatically run contact plans when the operator or phones change on an account. You can set a different contact plan to run when the Operator is changed during a Batch Operator Assignment. This feature is very useful for triggering update events when using the ODBC Sync feature.

Please refer to Help topic, Screen and Messages for details.

Edit Member

This new button on the Group tab enables you to quickly open any member of the Debtor's group. When you select the EDIT MEMBER button in the Matching Accounts form a list of all the members in the group will be displayed. Select any one to go to that Debtor. This is very useful for quickly accessing information for a particular account, when you have a party on the phone, for instance.

Please refer to Help topic, Matching Accounts for details.

TCN Module

This new Collect! feature enables you to deliver messages to any phone, any time. You complete your setup with TCN, select the accounts for your campaign and let TCN and Collect! take care of the rest. The entire process of setting up and sending a broadcast to a dozen or several thousand people is as easy as sending an email, once you have completed your setup with TCN and Collect!.

Please refer to Help topic, TCN Module for details.

Web Host Message HTML Pages

You can now modify any of the Web Host default message pages with your own custom messages and Collect! will use your pages to override the defaults shipped with Web Host.

Messages may be customized for HTTP Errors 403, 404, 501 and 505 and Collect!'s "Too many users" message. You can also create your own page to display to the end user following a successful data submission via Web Host.

Please refer to Help topic, Modifying Web Host Message HTML Pages for details.
