New Appointment Book: The appointment book has been completely redesigned to provide our users with a greater level of functionality, ease of use, graphical interface, and customization.
New Graphical Interface: The entire interface has been enhanced with new graphics and is now built on Microsoft's latest suite of Windows controls.
Product Ordering and Purchase Order Integration: Product ordering and purchase orders have now been integrated. When ordering products from the Product Ordering screen, the software will automatically generate a purchase order and track the status of all orders. Purchase orders now include a status field for each row item that will allow the user to easily track the status of an order (In Process, Incomplete or Complete). Once all items have been received, the software will automatically close the purchase order and update your inventory.
Services Linked with Resources: This amazing new feature will allow the user to link a resource with a service. If a service requires a resource, the software will automatically book the employee and the resource when creating a ticket. In previous versions of the software, this had to be done manually.
Multiple Merchant Accounts in X-Charge: If you are using the built-in credit card processing option, you can now setup multiple merchant accounts. Once a merchant account has been created for the independent contractor (booth renter), any transaction linked to the independent contractor will be deposited in his or her individual merchant account. This highly anticipated feature is now fully functional and easy to implement.
Document Tracking: This new feature allows the user to establish a system by which important documents and their relation to clients can be organized and tracked. An unlimited number of unique or generic documents can be assigned to each client.
Appointment Search: The appointment search user interface has been redesigned for increased flexibility and ease of use. The appointment search now allows the user to search for available openings for up to five services. The search results now features a robust user interface that displays the search results in a user-friendly grid.
Gift Certificates: The gift certificate system has been redesigned to provide a variety of new features. When a gift certificate is sold, specific products and/or services can be applied to the gift certificate as well as a currency amount. The redeeming of products and/or services for a given gift certificate is now completely automated. A gift certificate can be a combination of both a currency value and products/services. Additionally, gift certificates can be setup to expire after a specified date.
Online Appointment Booking: Online appointment booking has been redesigned to allow complete customization of graphics, colors and fonts. Employee service limitations now work with online booking.
Pre-Paid Quantities in Packages: When creating new packages, the user is now able to define pre-paid quantities within the package. This type of functionality was available in previous versions of the software but only at the individual service level, not when creating packages.
Searching can now be performed by vendor and category when on the Product Ordering screen.
The user interface for Multi-Ticket Check Out has been redesigned to provide greater ease-of-use and better functionality. The user will now be able to quickly add another ticket to the Multi-Ticket Checkout through the use of a browsing window. For each Multi-Ticket Checkout, the user will specify the primary and secondary ticket(s). The primary ticket acts as the main ticket to which the balances of the secondary tickets will be transferred.

Purchase orders can also be printed and e-mailed. The new purchase order system can be found under Finance => Edit Purchase Orders.
Commission System: A new "dual" commission system has been added, which allows you to customize commission rates when a product or service is sold and/or used for each employee. The previous commission system, allowed you to configure commission only when a product or service was sold. The new dual commission system allows you to configure different commission rates when a product or service is purchased and/or used. The two types of commission systems, single and dual, can be selected by going to Finance => Payroll Configuration.
Price and Backbar Update to All Open Tickets: After changing the service price or backbar amount for a service, the software will prompt you with the option of updating all open tickets with the change.
Client Balance System: The new client balance system tracks the account balance of all clients and allows you to add, redeem, and use client credit through open tickets. Enhancements have been made to the pre-existing credit system, making the method for redeeming all or part of a client's credit much more intuitive and straightforward. A complete record of each client's credit history exists and can be viewed and edited through the Client Information window.
Loyalty Points System: The new loyalty points system allows you to establish and customize a rewards system for your clients. The loyalty points system allows you to conveniently and easily issue awards to clients who demonstrate consistency towards your business. A customizable rewards table can be configured through the Edit Service and Edit Product screens, respectively. A complete record of each client's loyalty point history can be viewed and edited through the Client Information window. The loyalty points rewards table can be found under Clients => Loyalty Points Rewards Table.
Cash Drawer Balancing: The cash drawer balancing system has been enhanced and now is equipped with the ability to balance the cash drawer over defined periods of time (the past 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.) and supports the option of including/not including independent contractor income in the balance.
Enhanced Client Mailing Report: New search criteria have been added to the client mailing report, increasing its range of applicability. You can now search over a specified period of time and select those clients who have/have not purchased particular services and/or products over a particular period of time.
Ticket Time Changes Automatically Update
A time change made on the Ticket Information window now automatically updates all other start times listed on the ticket. That is, if a time change is made to a service on the ticket, the times of all services below it also change to reflect the difference. If a resource is involved, the resource start time automatically changes to the start time of the actual service being performed.
Enhanced Booth Renter Support: Enhanced support for Booth Renters has been added. Tickets can now be created for individual booth renters and their totals and income calculated independently. The totals of booth renters are tracked separately in the system, but can be combined if desired on your main Totals report.
Employee ID Cards: Employee ID Cards are now supported for password login. Employees can be issued pre-fabricated ID cards containing a magnetic strip. This feature allows employees to use ID cards to access password protected functions, rather than entering their individual name and password. Employees are assigned their ID card through the Employees Screen.
Color Coding of Employee Day Off
The Scheduling Screen now color codes various reasons for employee time off. Color codes include: Regular Day Off, Vacation Day, Illness, Personal Business, and Other Reason. This feature allows you to conveniently customize your employee schedule and increases viewing ease.
Easier to Use Than Ever: Dozens of interface enhancements, rewritten User's Guide, and new training videos make our software easier than ever to use.
Send Either E-Mail or SMS Reminders or Both when Sending Appointment Reminders: E-mail reminders can be sent to a client's e-mail or SMS address or both. A client's contact information, such as their e-mail or SMS address, is stored through the Client Information Screen. You can configure your appointment reminders by accessing the Tools drop-down menu.
Thumb Print Reader Support: Thumb print reader support is now available for the computer administrator to use a pre-installed thumb print reader for any password protected function. That is, once password protection is enabled, the Computer Administrator can gain access to any protected function by a simple swipe of his/her thumb.
Employee Schedules Can Now be Printed for a Single Employee for an Entire Month: In previous versions of the software, employee schedules could only be printed for all employees in bulk-form. Version 6, however, allows you to print single employee schedules over a defined range of dates. Now, employees can view their complete working hours and days off for an extended period of time individually.
Payroll Information Can be Printed on Separate Pages: In previous versions of the software, payroll reports could only be printed for all employees and in bulk-form. Version 6, however, allows you to print out each employee's payroll information on separate pages. After a payroll is run, an integrated Separate Pages button allows you to select which employees' information to print out individually.
The Profit and Loss Report Can be Exported to a Text File or Copied to the Clipboard: The Profit and Loss report can now be copied to the Clipboard (and pasted into Excel for instance) and saved to a text file. This new feature allows you to save or edit the information generated by the Profit and Loss report according to your needs.
MapQuest Support: New to Version 6 is the ability to receive directions, both written and pictorial, through MapQuest. A MapQuest graphic, available through the Client Information screen, opens a web browser when clicked, automatically displaying a map and directions to a client's address.
Sample Credit Card Support: Version 6 has the ability to support pre-fabricated sample credit cards (issued through CMJ Designs Inc.) which allow you to test and familiarize yourself with the integrated credit card processing system. This sample credit card support works independently of the recommended credit card processing software (X-Charge). You can therefore conduct test transactions as if they were genuine (using the provided sample credit cards).
General Ledger Search Engine: In Version 6, the General Ledger has been enhanced to support a search engine capable of sorting your General Ledger entries by a variety of fields. These include: range of dates, description, comment, vendor name, and category.
Receipt Printing Now Has the Ability to Print a Client's Upcoming Appointments: Through the Options Screen, you can customize the way your receipts print when a ticket is closed. New to Version 6, is the ability to add a client's upcoming appointments to the receipt.
Package Enhancements: Version 6 allows you to create categories for packages, thereby simplifying sorting and searching through created packages. Also, bar codes can now be created for packages, allowing you to treat packages as separate entities. Independent bar codes allow you to scan and charge packages in bulk, rather than piecewise by item. The Packages Screen can be accessed through the Product and Services drop-down menu.
Client E-mail Addresses Can be Viewed on the Tickets Screen: Version 6 allows you to add client e-mail addresses to the Tickets Screen.
"Family" Tab Added to the Client Information Window: The Client Information window has been enhanced in Version 6 to support Spouse and Children tracking information. These data fields can serve as a quick reference for a client's family members if needed.
The Subject Line of Automatic E-Mail Reminders can now be Edited: When customizing the text of your Automatic E-Mail Reminders, you now have the ability to change the Subject heading. This heading can reflect whatever you wish and has no limitations. To customize your Automatic E-Mail Reminders, select Tools => E-Mail Reminder Configuration.
New Reports: Multiple reports have been added in Version 6, including: Report #108: This report allows you to view totals for only a single employee. Report #109: This report allows you to view the outstanding balance of all active gift cards. Report #110: This report allows you to view the outstanding balance of all active gift certificates.
