General

Point of Rental has a fresh new look

You'll see refreshed logos on the login screen, a new header and footer, cleaner menus, and updated loading animations across the app. New Rental, Quick Sale, and Missed Rental keep their familiar icons and now sit in line with the rest of the menu for a more consistent, easier-to-scan layout. Your storefront, kiosk, and sign-up pages are unchanged.

Send out paid contracts even when a future rental is unpaid

You can now send out a fully paid contract even if the same customer has an unpaid rental scheduled for a later date. Essentials now sets those future, not-yet-started rentals aside when it checks for outstanding balances, so a booking that isn't due yet won't block today's work — while genuinely past-due balances are still enforced. Your administrator can turn this on in your outstanding-balance settings.

Import prior Hours on Rent for serialized items

Record how many hours a serialized item was on rent in a previous system so its lifetime Time on Rent is accurate in Essentials from day one. Set Prior Hours on Rent in bulk during a Stock (Serialized) data import, or manually on any serialized item. Enter whole hours only — if your data is in days, multiply by 24. (See uLearn)

m Limit auto-assign to reservations within X days

Skip auto-assigning a serialized unit when a reservation starts more than a configurable number of days out, so far-future bookings don't lock up specific units before they're neede.

Company Configuration → Tax & Payment section, immediately below the existing Auto Assign Serialized Instances checkbox (same column as the tax-rate and damage-waiver settings).

New eSign fields: Free Text, Checkbox, and Current Date

When building an eSign document, you can now add three new fields for signers: Free Text (typed text that automatically resizes to fit the space), Checkbox (to tick and confirm), and Current Date (which stamps the date and time automatically in the reader's local format). Add them the same way you place other fields; your existing Signature and Initials fields work exactly as before. Capture the details you need without printing or editing by hand.

eSign preview now matches the signed document

The eSign preview now shows every field exactly where it will appear on the final signed document, so what you see is what your customer gets. Placement is reliable for both saved templates and one-off uploads — less back-and-forth fixing misaligned fields.

Choose whether eSign requires initials and signatures on every page

You can now turn off the automatic initial and signature fields in eSign to speed through rental terms, while still requiring a final signature at the end. Add your own fields only where you actually need a customer to acknowledge something. Your administrator can adjust these options in your eSign settings.

AI Availability Analyzer

Ask about an item's availability in plain language and get an instant answer — no digging through calendars or reports. Ask about booking conflicts, open windows, or demand patterns and let the analyzer do the work. To use it: open an item in Inventory → Availability → Show Analyzer → Toggle AI, then type your question.
