What is a Recommended Update?

We pursue customer driven design.  This means that we are constantly listening to user feedback to improve our product. Over time, these improvements culminate in a new version which embodies the best of what we have to offer.  This becomes a recommended update.

A Recommended Update refers to the minimum version that should currently be in use.

Are all updates not Recommended Updates?

No. Think of a Recommended Update as a milestone, a major achievement along the way.  In between those milestones can be many smaller, minor updates which are not relevant to all users.

Smaller updates may apply to specific users or issues resolved, but will not necessarily impact on all users.

How do I get this Recommended Update?

All Dynamic updates are available through the online distribution channel and can be obtained by running the Quick Update.  Please see elsewhere for the Quick Update and remember to Refresh after the update is complete.

Software Update 2.0.1.243


Description: Fee Book workflow
Status: Effective immediately
Date: 19 November 2020
Dynamic interface: Two, Front Desk
Version: 2.0.1.243

Explanation:

The Fee Book is the most important work area in Dynamic. User feedback over the last few weeks indicated several areas which could be improved.

Changes were implemented and new feedback started coming in almost immediately. Not everyone liked it, and some functionality changed, in some place only a little bit, and in others a lot. Continuous improvement requires making changes and responding to user feedback. It is our intention to make the Fee Book better than ever. If you have suggestions please let us know.

Time Billing is now simplified and smooth, with only the number of minutes required: the hourly rate should be correct and the final, VAT inclusive amount calculated directly.

Search to Fee Book allows a one touch display of results directly from the Search screen, making for a faster, smoother ride.

Description: Import from Fee Book
Status: Effective immediately
Date: 11 November 2020
Dynamic interface: Two, Core
Version: 2.0.1.240

Explanation:

Import from Fee Book was slow. The new fast import works as before, but in a fraction of a second. Just watch the screen, the import will be done before you can even say “This is really fast“.

🙂

These changes have been affected based on end-user feedback. We would love to hear from you.

Watch this space!

A new update is coming!

New version 2.0.1.22 is expected to release any day now!

What is in the new version?

Several new features, with a lot more to come!  The new version creates a new kind of connection framework. This is based on a server side API which will make it easy to integrate Dynamic with a variety of other software solutions.  Some of these may take time, but the framework is now being implemented.

Specifically

  • Alpha-numeric account numbers, such as “A1234” or “ABC12” are now possible.  The current Chart of Accounts remains in tact, but the additional account number ranges mean that the system now allows up to 1.5 million client accounts. Accounts remain a standard five characters in length.
  • Smoother User-Interface workflow.
  • Thousand separator spaces for all currency display, such as 1 234 567.98.
  • Additional calculation display for VATable transactions.
  • Bank Recon import has been streamlined.
  • Client Balance List now displays only accounts with balances. Zero balance accounts are ignored.
