Cannot Establish Connection Settings

If for some reason the SQL connection details have changed and Subscriber is unable to connect to the SQL Server, the user is prompted to re-enter the connection details.

Contact Rules

The Contact Rules feature allows the user to define certain rules or select fields that must either be filled in or be blank for a set of contacts. It is possible to specify the contacts that the rules should relate to by Contact Type, Contact Status, Membership Class and Membership Status.

This replaces the ‘Mandatory Fields’ feature. The mandatory fields would make sure certain fields were filled in on a Contact, however this would be for all types of Contacts. You may actually have a certain type of contact that requires specific information to be filled in but another type of contact that needs other information to be filled in; the contact rules allows for this. There are however, still two mandatory fields that exist - the Contact Type and Contact Status.

If there were mandatory fields previously configured, the contact rule will automatically be set up to replace them. The contact rules can be maintained by going to ‘Edit > Settings > New Contact Information > Contact Rules’.

It is now possible to stagger the sending of emails. By going to ‘Edit > Settings > Emailing’ you can enter how many emails should be sent before there is a pause in the sending. The length of the pause can also be defined.

Combined Merges

A Combined Merge allows you to combine email and letter merge documents into one merge. From a selection of contacts, you can either email those who have an email address or send a letter to those who don’t, or vice versa.

With the introduction of Contact Merge Preferences, you are able to specify if a particular contact would prefer to receive an email, letter, or nothing at all. For example a contact may wish to receive membership-based correspondences by letter, but marketing correspondences by email. The types can be defined by yourselves. You can even select to send an email and a letter to a contact if the merge requires it.

The combined merges can be configured in the ‘Merge Settings’ dialog.

Merge Documents

It is now possible to select if a merge document should 'Enforce Privacy Settings'. If this is ticked, contacts will be removed from the merge if they have the 'Do Not Mail' or 'Do Not Email' privacy settings ticked (depending if a letter or email merge is being performed).

Also, it is now possible to specify the order in which the data is displayed when performing a merge.

When emailing from the Events screen and a merge document was not used, a contact may have appeared in the email list multiple times. This would occur if the contact had multiple addresses that were ticked as 'Use for Emailing'. This has been resolved.

Reports > All Addresses

When emailing from the 'Reports > All Addresses' screen and a merge document was not used, it would attempt to email to all contacts addresses that were ticked as 'Use for Emailing', not just the addresses that met the selection criteria. This has been resolved.

Events - Sub Events

It is now possible to store the minimum number of places on a sub event.

There was a limit to the number of characters displayed in the 'Notes' field on the Contacts screen. This limit has been removed.

Events

If a new event was created, it was possible to view the 'Eventeers' tab without saving the event; causing a large number of incorrect bookers to appear. This has been resolved.

It was possible to remove a row from the 'Available Sub Events' grid on the ‘Chosen Sub Events’ tab. This had no actual effect outside of the grid, however it should not have been possible. This has been resolved.

When duplicating an event, the sub event dates are also modified in relation to the new start date.

The 'Mem. Status' field on the Delegates screen was showing Membership Classes, not Membership Statuses. This has been resolved.

It is also now easier to report on delegates who did or did not attend an event.

The ‘Sent to Contact’ and ‘Signed by Contact’ fields could not be cleared on the ‘Gift Aid’ tab. This has been resolved.

Reports

The ‘Report Section’ now shows in the Selection Criteria area of the Reports screens.

New Contact Wizard

A new option has been added to the Subscriptions area - ‘As Last New Contact’. This allows Subscriptions to be added to the new contact in the same way as the last new contact that was entered.

The ‘add’ options have changed slightly on the Employment Details, Groups and Pay Source Details screen. By clicking ‘Add’, a completely new item will be added. The drop down on the ‘Add’ button will give you multiple options, these are;

'As Last Added’ – This will add a new item in the same way as the last new item that was added.
‘As Last New Contact’ – This will add all the items in the same way as the last new contact that was entered.

The user will be prompted before the New Contact Wizard closes. This is to help prevent mistakenly closing the dialog and losing any information that has already been entered.

When a fields label is clicked to either include or exclude that field from the duplicate search, a search is automatically performed, regardless of the number of characters entered.

There is now an ‘As Last New Contact’ button which shows when on the Personal Details area. This will add Subscriptions, Employment Details, Groups and Pay Source Details the same as the last new contact that was entered.

If an area is selected to merge with on the Merge Options menu, the menu now stays open.

Enquiries

An error would occur sending an email from the Enquiries screen when using the legacy merging methods. This has been resolved.

If a Crystal Report is exported to PDF and the parameter box appears, the loading bar remained open. This has been resolved.

Contacts Screen

An error would appear if a contact was saved immediately after changing information about their Subscription; e.g. the payment method. This would not actually cause a problem but it has been resolved.

If the contact's notes were modified and the contact was saved immediately, navigating to another contact would cause the modified warning would appear. This has been resolved.

Merging

'Subscription Frequency' and 'Demand Frequency' are now included in the fields that are available in the merge output.

Grid Exports

It is now possible to export grids to the new '.xlsx' format; which is used in Microsoft Office 2007 and above.

Contact Notes

The contact notes have been changed so they are no longer in RTF (Rich Text Format), but plain text. Although this did allow basic formatting of the text (e.g. emboldening, italicising etc.), the surrounding formatting text made it unreadable when reporting and exporting. With the notes now in plain text, working with them is much simpler.

Check-Off Payments

The loading of batches in the check-off screen has been optimised for improved performance.

Update

The 'Update Database Statistics' process has been taken out of the update procedure.

Sales Documents and Products

Sales Documents and Products have been modified to allow for higher costs.

Group Members

When a group member is added on the contacts screen, it checks to see if the contact is also in any other groups of the same type and office. If so the user will be prompted to set the status of these to inactive.

Events

Substantial changes have been made to the Events screen. The layout has been altered so it is cleaner looking and gives more room for things such as the 'Description' field.

Notes can now be entered on an event as well as times for the Start and End Dates.

Events - Sub Events

To modify a sub event you must now double-click on the sub event in the list. A dialog will appear allowing you make changes to the sub event. There are a few new options available on a sub event:

Is Default – The sub event will automatically be added to a delegate when a new delegate is added.
Is Compulsory – The sub event will automatically be added to a delegate when a new delegate is added but you will be prompted if you try to delete it. This is more important for website use.
Order – The order the sub events should appear. This is more important for website use.
Unique Groups – You may have the requirement whereby a delegate can select only one sub event from a range of sub events. The unique group will allow for this.
VAT Rate – The VAT rate can now be specified per sub event.
Allow Defined Rates Only – Only the rates that have been applied to the sub event can be used - i.e. if a contact does not fit into a rate (e.g. they are not a member) then they will not be able to book onto the sub event.

The time can now be specified on a sub event.

Events - Rates

You may have different rates for members, students or non-members ans so forth. These can now be controlled and allocated using 'Rates'. You must first define a rate and specify which subscription classes belong to that rate, e.g. you may call a rate ‘Member’ and associated any subscription classes that indicates a member to that rate. The rate can then be added to a sub event and you can specify costs for that rate for the specific sub event.

In the sub events grid you will notice a small ‘plus’ icon, by clicking this you can quickly see the associated rates and their costs.

Events - VAT Rates

There have been changes to how the VAT is used within the Events screen. Rather than the VAT rate being set on a booking, it is now set per sub event booking, which allows for greater flexibility as the VAT rate can be different per sub event.

If the country of the booker does not attract VAT, then VAT rate will not be set.

Please note that this has affected the creation of invoices and the transfer to accounts process.

Events - Bookers and Delegates

There are new fields available on both Bookers and Delegates, including the following:

Document Manager

There is now a navigation bar at the top of the Document Manager so that it is easier to see your current location. There is also a navigation pane on the left hand side allowing you to navigate through the folder structure.

An individual address label for a contact can now be printed directly from the Contacts screen. This can be done from the ‘Other Options’ toolbar item.

You can see all the wizard areas on the left hand side which can be clicked to skip straight to that area without the need to navigate through each one. It is possible to create a new contact or merge with an existing contact from any area on the wizard, i.e. you don't have to navigate all the way to the end. Also 'Add as Previous' options have been added to the Groups and Pay Source Details areas.

Contacts Screen

The Contacts screen has been tidied slightly, including a better menu bar and navigation functions. 'Add as Previous' options have been added to the Groups and Pay Source Details area.

Sales Screen

The product buy price on an invoice line was read only. It is now possible to edit this again.

Volunteers Screen

The list of skills on the Skills tab is now in alphabetical order. The volunteer’s skills and associated projects are listed in alphabetical order. Also when a new volunteer is created, the ‘Own Transport’ field will now automatically be ticked.

Bank Details

If a Direct Debit was cancelled but it had already been cancelled i.e. the Process Code was XX, it would get changed to 'OC' again. This has been resolved.

Gift Aid Screen

The header image has been removed from Gift Aid screen. The totals displayed on the 'Select' tab may not have always reflected the amount that was actually claimed. This was due to a rounding issue and has now been resolved. Previous claims have been updated to show the correct amounts. Please note that this would not have affected any claims that you have submitted to HMRC and this was purely a display issue.

Reports

The list of volunteer skills now does not include those skills that have been deleted.

General

‘Event Synchronisation’ has been renamed to ‘Events Sync’ to bring it in-line with other module titles.

Also it will automatically remove any leading or trailing spaces from the Contacts information when submitting the claim.

Contacts Screen – Mail Merge

There was an issue when mail merging from the Contacts screen that occurred when you exported the results from the Reports > Contacts screen to the Quicksearch tab. This has been resolved.

Transfer to Accounts

The transfer to accounts process has been updated. It is now possible to transfer demand adjustments and to transfer demands that have been withdrawn. Both of these will create a ‘SC’ in Sage and be allocated to the original ‘SI’. You are also able to exclude items from being transferred if you do not want them to be transferred.

Demands
Only demands that are greater than £0 will be available to be transferred. If a demand is withdrawn and it hasn’t yet been transferred to Sage, then it will not be available. However, if the demand has been transferred and it is later withdrawn, the demand will again be available to be transferred, but this time it will create a ‘SC’ allocated to the ‘SI’.

Demand Adjustments
Only demand adjustments that are greater than £0 and where the associated demand has already been transferred will be available for transfer. These will create a ‘SC’ allocated to the ‘SI’.

Payments
Only payments that are greater than £0, not rejected and where the associated demand has already been transferred will be available for transfer. The batch must also be released to accounts and if it is a BACS batch the rejections must have been processed in order for the payments to be transferred.

Any refunds that are made will have to be manually entered into Sage. A lot of the time corrections will need to be made in Sage to handle any refunds and these corrections can only be made through Sage itself. Due to this, refunds are prevented from being available for the transfer process. We can provide a report to show you all the refunds in a date range, so these can be manually entered into Sage, or you can use the ‘Reports > Payments’ screen to find this information.

When a ‘Donation’ or ‘Other Income’ payment is added to a batch, you will immediately be asked to select the other income or fund, rather than having to click the payment row to select it.

If changes are made to a batch and the user has the same batch open in the Check-Off tab, when the user returns to the Check-Off tab, the screen will automatically refresh.

Payment Batches

The ‘Finalise for Posting’ option has been removed from the batch and a new option called ‘Release to Accounts’ has been added.

The ‘Release to Accounts’ option is useful for users who would like to post batches but do not want to transfer the batch to their accounting package straight away. Releasing a batch to accounts will make it available to be transferred to the accounting package.

A non-BACS batch can be released to accounts once it has been posted, but a BACS batch can only be released to accounts once it has been posted and had all the rejections processed.

If you would like a batch to be available to be transferred to accounts as soon as the batch is posted, then this option can be selected. If you go to Edit -> Settings -> Organisation Details, you will see an option called ‘Automatically Release Batches to Accounts’. By default this is checked. If this is checked, a non-BACS batch will automatically be released to accounts when it is posted. A BACS batch will automatically be released to accounts once all the rejections have been processed.

This is only applicable if you transfer information to your accounting package from Subscriber.

When multiple contacts are added to a contact campaign at the same time through the Contacts Reports screen, their status is now being set as ‘Active’ automatically.

The ‘Create Invoices (Per Contact)’ option will group the demands by the contact, and creates one invoice that includes all the demands for that contact. Only subscription demands will be included on the invoice.

Please note that this change may cause a problem when printing the invoice. If this is the case it will be a quick and easy fix so please let us know and we will be happy to make the relevant changes to it to rectify the print out.

Modifying Contact Details

The Salutation, Initials, and Address Label are automatically modified if either the Title, First Name or Surname is changed.

Contacts Salutation

You are now able to specify the format of the Contacts salutation; you can set it to be either Formal or Informal. Formal is the default setting and will work as it does now e.g. Dear Mr Smith. If the Informal option is used the salutation will be derived from just the Contacts first name, e.g. Dear John. This can be set in Edit -> Settings -> Organisation Details.

Contacts Initials

The Contacts Initials will automatically be populated based on the Contacts First Name.

Adding Contacts to Contact Campaigns
