  • Project UDCText and UDCBit Fields - Added new UDC Fields to the Project Table. When configured, these fields will show up on an Additional Info table on the General Tab on the Project form.

  • Error Reporting - Modified the Error popup message so that when the Send option is used it will send in the background using a web service instead of using the user's email client. The email will still be sent to support@crowsnestsoftware.com using the logged in users email as the sender, which should create a ticket with the help desk. A screenshot will also automatically be included.

  • Employee Timeoff - A new button has been added to the Timeclock Form on the main desktop app and on the Summary tab on the Timecock desktop app. Clicking this button will display the current qty of available timeoff hours for the selected employee.

  • Search Project Notes - The bottom half of the Notes tab on the Project form has a table that will load the Notes from all the Project and all child objects of the Project (i.e. Tasks, Phases, Drawings, RFIs, etc.) and Tasks of child objects and allow you search through them.

If an item has been locked, it can't be edited unless the employee has the new permission turned named "Can Edit MR Locked Items". Using this method, you can turn on the permission to "Can Edit MR Submitted Items" so users can edit items even after they've submitted them until they've been Locked.

  • RFI Days - A new field has been added to Projects on the RFI tab for the default qty of days used to calculate the Need By Date for new RFIs.

  • Auto-Refresh Option on Manifest Form - A new option titled 'Auto-Refresh on Scan' has been added so you can enable/disable the auto-refresh behavior when a scan is made. When this is on, if the value of an Action has been changed since the form has been loaded, it will automatically reload the list of items. This is handy when you're scanning items and you want the screen to automatically refresh, but if you're trying to read through the list while somebody else is scanning or you are reading through and manually scanning items, the auto-refresh will reload the list jumping to the top each time. The auto-refresh affects both the Selected Manifest and Summary tabs.

  • Business Accounting ID - A new field titled Accounting ID has been added to Businesses to store the ID from your Accounting system to be used when importing/exporting data.

To scope the report to the current project, include a Hidden parameter named @ProjectID in the report definition and use it to filter the report data as needed.

  • Alerts on General Tab - A new Alert has been added titled 'Late Tasks' on the Alert section on the General tab of the Project Form. The Alerts are now clickable and clicking on an Alert will jump to the corresponding tab for the current project.

Inventory detail functions have also been added to the Mobile App for iOS and Android. New options have been added to the PO and Inventory forms allowing you to have it Prompt for a Location when using Receive Remaining.

  • My Tasks - The 'My Tasks' area on the bottom of the main form has been modified so it works exactly like the Task Overview form giving you complete control over what data is shown and how it is sorted. In the Default view it will show all Tasks assigned to the currently logged in employee and show a few basic columns. To load a custom view, click the 'My Tasks' header above the list of Tasks and select from Filters that have been created under My Filters on the Task Overview form.

  • Manifest Import Changes - When importing a CSV with a Header Row, the Header text is used to identify the Columns. You can put the in any order. The header text must match the name of the database column name. For UDC columns, you can either use the database column name, or the alias for the column. You cannot use the alias for columns configured as N/A however you can still import values to the column if you use the database column name. Do not use aliases if you have the same alias for multiple UDC columns. Importing from ODBC or Access will work will work the same and the column names in the data returned from the query will work the same way as the column headers from the CSV. Importing a CSV without a header row works the same as before this update but is not recommended and will be unsupported in future versions.

For Employees, it will look for a match of First, Middle and Last name first, if none are found it will look for match of First and Last. This is not case-sensitive. For Projects, it will look for a Customer or Job in that starts with the Crows Nest Project ID followed by a space. For Vendors, it will look match the Vendor name to the Crows Nest Business Name or Abbreviated Name. If the names don't match between Crows Nest and Quickbooks, you can still use the Additional fields in Quickbooks to force a connection between objects that don't match. To do this, add Additional fields in Quickbooks named "CN Employee ID", "CN Project ID" and "CN Vendor ID". Entering the database ID number from a corresponding item in Crows Nest will map a connection between the two objects.
