New Release Notes every three weeks!
 | We are listening! Items with this label are a result of your suggestions in uInnovate. Please continue to share and support those ideas that help your business. |
 | Items with this label are features that may require adjustments to security or configuration and may have implications for your operations or current workflows. We recommend reading these and understanding the impact prior to updating. |
Quickbooks Online and Purchase Orders: We are now passing the purchase order number and terms from Elite to Quickbooks Online for our API integration. The terms defined on the vendor in Elite must also be defined in Quickbooks Online. Currently, this is only available if users are set to Transaction Mode in their export setup. To learn about the accounting modes, see our article Elite | Accounting Integrations and API Accounting Integration Transaction Method.
Cloud Print Registration: When users initially set up Cloud Print, we have extended the timeout during the registration process so that users are not prematurely affected. To learn more about Cloud Print, see the article Printing on the Cloud (Cloud Print).
Tokenized Refunds with POR Pay: Generally, when processors allow independent refunds, they also support tokenized independent refunds (a card for which you’ve already captured a token). However, there are some instances where a processor will support independent refunds but not tokenized independent refunds. In these instances, users cannot select an existing card and get stuck in an error. To learn about moving from Cayan to POR Pay, see the article, Cayan to POR Pay UI Overview.
Preview Contract PDF: When previewing a contract PDF (for example, from the email screen), the program locks that PDF so no other users can access it. That is no longer the case. Open ninety of them. Go crazy.
Reactivated Users: There was a defect in which users who had been deactivated and then reactivated in Elite were not being reactivated in the global organization. This has been fixed.
API Users: For users connecting to our API, we have added several new fields. Stock: ModelYear and ModelNumber available for POST/PATCH. Item File: SalesTaxCode available for GET/POST/PATCH. (Note this is only relevant for users with an external tax integration) Please refer to the full documentation here: https://api.pointofrental.com/docs.
Various Bug Fixes: We implemented various changes to improve accuracy and user experience.
Mobile
These are updates for Elite users utilizing the POR One app.
Uploads and Upload Status - In Settings, users can view all uploads and their status. If any uploads are still pending, there is also an option to start the upload process.
eCommerce
These are updates that pertain to users who utilize the consumer portal and storefront platforms.
Conceal Marked Items on Contracts: We changed to QuikLink and the Contract Detail page to now filter out items marked as “Do not show on contract” on the Elite side.
Save Button in Admin Panel: We changed the Admin Panel (where store owners can customize their Consumer Portal and QuikLink) save behavior. Previously, it saved correctly, but it didn’t acknowledge the Save button selection.
Payment Acknowledgement: We added a popup on screen to show that a payment was made. It provides your customers with a timestamp, method of payment, and reference numbers.
Miscellaneous Item Display: We made a minor change to the note, or miscellaneous item name, field to make it stand out better in QuikLink and the Contract Details page.
Memory Lane Monday
This is a fun corner where we republish release notes from previous sprints you may have forgotten about.
Importing Files on Cloud Servers: The process of importing files onto a cloud server has also been amended for users on cloud-hosted servers. Users will now select the ‘up’ arrow in the top bar of the screen. A file selection box will appear. Select the file for upload. Once uploaded, the file will appear in the ‘Upload’ folder under the POR directory. The subfolder will be labeled for the user that did the upload.
Mobile User Permissions: In order to make the process of updating Gadmin permissions easier for our users, we have developed a microapp that launches from within the browser. Security under the configuration section dictates whether or not a user can view or edit permissions. The default is to have both turned off. If either is turned on and the user is signed in using SSO credentials, they will be able to launch the mobile permissions option in browser configurations. From here, the user can easily access/amend this information without having to navigate to a separate website. To learn more see articles, Elite | Global User Admin (GAdmin) and Elite | Single Sign-On (SSO) & Global User Admin.
