New Features - 11-1 Build 3

Welcome to Collect! Version 11.1 Build 3. This latest version has many new features and functionality. There are also many optimizations and enhancements to existing features.

Log File System

Event logging in the Collect! system has been completely revamped with a user-friendly comprehensive new Log Viewer. All messages and system return codes are displayed in one screen with settings you can customize. System diagnosis is greatly simplified and streamlined for easy tracking and troubleshooting.

Please refer to Help topic, Collect! Log Viewer for details.

Client Timeout

This new setting in the Database Preferences will help you increase your efficiency. When a network interruption causes a client to disconnect from the server, you can tell Collect! to log the user out after a number of minutes you specify. This means you no longer need to restart the CV11 Server to remove an inactive user.

Please refer to Help topic, Database Preferences for details.

Start Scheduler Automatically

New switch in the Scheduler Settings enables you to start the Scheduler as soon as you sign in as a Scheduler Operator.

Please refer to Help topic, Scheduler Settings for details.

Schedule Promise Events

Three new fields were added to the Contact Plan Event record for automatic scheduling of Promise events. These fields enable you to automatically fill in a Promise amount when creating a Promise through a contact plan. You can specify the Amount of the Promise as a percent of Owing or Settlement. These fields are hidden if the contact event type is not Promise.

Please refer to Help topic, Event for details.

Client Event

Contact plans have a new event type, the Client event. This enables you to change the Client Number on an account using a contact plan. Type the Client Number that you want to assign the account to into the Description Field.

Please refer to Help topic, Event for details.

Don't Convert Case On Name Entry

This new switch in the " Screen and Messages" form enables you to control name formatting in the Debtor's Contact field. Default behavior (unchecked) will lower case the string and then upper case capitals. With the switch set, the name will be capitalized exactly as you typed it when it is transposed into the Contact field during data entry. For example, "VanAllen, James" by default transposes as "James Vanallen." With switch set, it transposes as "James VanAllen."

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

Optimizations

Enhancements were made to Financials, Report Writer, Display, Web Host, Contact Plans, Import/Export, Credit Bureau Reporting, Security, Database Change Logging, NCOA Updates, Scheduler and the CV11 Server.
