Scheduling Changes

Dynamic Tags for Custom Fields

We also added an ability to set Custom Fields dynamically by indexing them.

This will be used for Registrants linked with Co-Buyers so that we can pull the information inputted in the Custom Fields in their own Buyer profiles.

For example, if the Custom Tag is “CT_EMPLOYER”, by default this will reflect the information from the Primary Buyer. In order for your Document Template to reflect the value from the Co-Buer’s profile, add the Custom Tag as “CT_EMPLOYER_1” for the 1st Co-Buyer, then “CT_EMPLOYER_2” for the 2nd Co-Buyer and so on.

  • Completed Schedules

New Tag for Total Change Orders in either Cash or Finance

We have now added 2 new Document Template tags to indicate the Change Order Number based on the Option change’s Sales Type. This means that if the Option changes are linked to a Finance Sales type only, the Finance counter tag will increment with 1, without incrementing the Counter for Cash Change Order.

If the Option change is linked to a Cash Sales type only, the Cash counter will increment with 1 without incrementing Finance counter as well. However, if it’s both Fiance and Cash sales type, then it increments to 1 for both counters. The New Document Template tags as follows:

CF_CHANGE_ORDER_COUNT_CASH
CF_CHANGE_ORDER_COUNT_FINANCE

Sync Jobs to Pipeline Purchasing Job Flow

For Clients integrated with Pipeline Purchasing, we now have a Job flow Client setting to determine whether the Jobs are to be synced from Pipeline Sales to Pipeline Purchasing or vice versa. This setting allows our system to sync in a single direction at a time once Syncing is run either automatically or manually via the Data Sync page. Contact Pipeline Sales Admin to have this configured for your organization through this email: specitup.support@strongtie.com.

Sort Lot History by Recent Modified Date

We have updated how we display our Lot History, to include sorting by Modified date. This is to makes sure the recent updates displays on the grid first.

Filter Tasks with a Linked PO

For Clients integrated with Scheduling, we now have an ability to filter tasks that are linked with a Vendor that has a generated Purchase Order report. This filter can be toggled on or off when managing Current Schedules.

Filter by Tasks with PO

Checklist Button in Schedule pages

Before the task can be marked as Completed, the checklists are needed to be marked as completed first. For easier reference, we now have added the Checklist button when tasks have assigned checklists against them.

This is reflected in the Schedule Templates page and Current Schedule pages.

Scheduling Task Checklist

Able to Filter by Tasks in Calendar View

We now have an ability to filter by Tasks in Calendar view when managing the list of Job Schedules linked to the Community selected.

There are color legends for your reference:

  • Tasks with Red-background color means they are not linked to a Vendor
  • Tasks with Green-background color means they are linked to a Vendor. A purchase order report has been generated against the task.

When you hover over the tasks, a tooltip will display to show more information on the Jobs Schedule and the linked Vendor.

Filter by Tasks

Able to Override the Standard PO Report

Company Admins can now have an ability override the Standard PO Report by replacing the Report’s path from where your Custom PO Report is published.

You can override the default Standard PO report in the Schedule Reports tab from our Page Access setting on the User Groups page.

To review How to Customize a Standard BI Report, you can watch this short demo.
