Allow SMS Template when creating Client SMS

You can now apply a saved SMS template (Administration >> SMS Templates) when creating an SMS for a Client Select Client >> Phone icon next to the mobile phone. Only the SMS Template Type "Client" will show in the drop down for the Templates.

All Custom Contracts Access

You can now search by either the Lead Provider or where the Provider is linked to a Contract. A new role has been created to allow a user to see Contracts where they are the lead provider or where they are a Linked provider. This can be set on an access role under Administration >>User Access Role (User is Linked Provider). 

Default Event Type to Null on User

You can now set the default event type for a user to nothing so they always have to choose the event type when recording an event. Front Office >> Events.

Dynamic Forms Score Formula

You can now add Formula fields to a Custom form using any of the following three fields: TotalScore, NoOfQuestions, AnsweredQuestions. An example of a formula could be 100 * AnsweredQuestions/NoOfQuestions to get the percentage of questions answered in a form Administration >> Custom Forms.

Site System Users:

You can now see all users linked to a site on the Administration>Sites form. From here you can also add and remove users from a site using a single pop-up form using the new button on each Site row.

Address Verification

You can now request to turn on an option that allows you to verify address information entered on the client details. This service is provided by a third party and costs 10c per request. An address when verified will return the related post code and additional information.

User and Site Commission

You can now set up Commission Templates to assist with paying staff based on work done.

You can now configure Commission Templates to automatically calculate Commission owing to Contractors or Employees for they have done in the system. This is done on the Accounting Form>Money Out>Commission Templates. For the various types or revenue (for example Product Sales or Appointment Charges), you configure a Commission percentage and/or fixed amount. The commission template can be based on the date of the related invoice or appointment, or it can be based on the date the business receives payment of the item. On a template you then define the users (Clinicians/General Staff) that belong to the template.

Once configured you can then process the commission to pay for a given period of time. ( Accounting Form>Money Out>Commission Due). For each User that has commission owing you can then process this which will create a Commission Batch and this will automatically generate an Expense. (For Contract Charges this will automatically link the expense to the Contract and can be seen on the Expenses tab of the respective Contract). Once a revenue item has been included in a Commission Batch it will no longer come up to process again unless you explicitly request it. Any items already process will be highlighted, warning that it has already been included in a batch. For each user you can view a report and spreadsheet of items that will be included prior to creating the batch. This can be used to verify the items being processed.

The history of batches created will show under Accounting Form>Money Out>Commission Batches. From here you view reports and Excel output of the items in a batch. You can also delete any batches created in error.

In addition to calculating commission for Employees/Users, you can also link Sites to a batch. This is used when you have Child Sites performing work on behalf of the parent site. This process works the same as it does for User, but in addition an Invoice will be created from the Parent Site back to the child site with line items for each commission revenue item. The full amount will show as revenue and the Commission will show as Cost of Sales on the invoice.

New Custom Form Fields

New system fields for Contract Custom Forms now available to use: "Date Referred", "Contract Start Date", "Contract Plan Report Due", "Contract Plan Report Completed", "Contract Progress Report Due", "Contract Progress Report Completed", "Contract Completion Report Due", "Contract Completion Report Completed", "Contract Partial RTW Date", "Contract Full RTW Date", "Contract Duration Weeks", "Contract Service End Date", "Contract Purchase Order No", "Contract Vendor No", "Contract Product No", "Contract Notes" 

Custom Field Exporting 

You can now set Export Tags for Custom Fields to be used on Word and Excel exports.

Contract Custom Form

You can now link a Custom Contract Type to your own Custom Form. When this is done the Custom form will show as a tab on the Contract details for Contracts of that Type.

Custom Contract Exporting to Excel
Under Contracts>All Contracts, you can now export retrieved contract information to Excel directly from this form.

Firstly, create a new Excel spreadsheet, insert the required merge fields into it and save locally on your computer. The merge fields are found under Administration>Letter Templates, choose Template Type Contract>Excel Example.
