Release Notes for Peeps v2.17
_____________________________________________________________________________
Overview/Summary Stats Loading Performance Improvements
The various Stats/Totals that are super-handy and appear on the Home, Inventory, and Reports tab, have received a major performance improvement!
For stores with very large datasets, when they'd click on any of these tabs, they would experience a delay while those stats were fetched.
These are now fetched in a separate thread, allowing the tab to be viewed instantly. An animated spinner appears while the stats are being fetched as well. :)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Add Progress Bar to 'Change Due' Screen
There's an all new progress bar/visual countdown indicator on the Change Due screen!
This provides a much better visual cue as to when the Change Due screen will close.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Peeps2Go -- Total Items Sold Today Including Voided Sales
'Total Items' Sold for 'Today's Totals' now excludes items that were part of a Voided sale.
_____________________________________________________________________________
If 'Prompt for Price' Is On @ POS, Then Prompt Cancelled, '+' Button Doesn't Re-Enable
If Cancel is hit when the Prompt for Price option is on @ POS, it now re-activates the + button so you don't have to close/re-open the Scan Items screen.
This was reported by Olivia @ Sadie's!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Add 'PR' to the States List
Puerto Rico (PR) has been added to the States list! This applies to all screens for account addresses -- i.e. Add Account, Add Account @ POS, and View Account.
This was requested by Robin @ The Robin's Egg!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Coupon Entered Twice, If 'Enter' On Keyboard Is Used to Add vs. Double-Clicking
Resolved the issue where a Coupon would be added to a sale twice, if the 'Enter' key was utilized on the keyboard vs. double-clicking the Coupon.
This was reported by KJ @ Frugality!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Drop n Go Receipts -- # of Copies Option
There's a new '# of Receipts' option for Drop n Go receipts! Some stores like to print multiple copies, so they can pin/stick one to the bag of items and then keep the other one for in-house.
On the Drop n Go screen, there's a new Settings icon at the top-right. This includes two settings:
• Use Receipt Printer for Drop n Gos (previously under Settings > Printers > More)
• # of Receipts
The # of Receipts count can be set from 1 to 5 (I felt it was best to not allow this to be too high, so a store doesn't accidentally set it to 20 and get 20 receipts flying out!)
This was requested by Sue @ 2nd Chance! :)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Change Due Custom Option for Length
You can now customize how long the 'Change Due' window will remain open after each sale!
The default length of time is 15 seconds, but you can customize this to be anything from 3 to 60 seconds.
To adjust the Change Due Timer, head to Settings > Point of Sale > More.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Verify If Gift Card #s with 0, 000, 0000, etc. Should Be Used
When issuing a new Gift Card or renewing a Gift Card, Peeps' Software now checks to see if you really do want to use a Card # = 0.
A customer had a handful of Gift Card #s as 00, 0000, 00000, etc. which in and of itself is ok, so I didn't want to completely prevent this, but Peeps' Software now asks you if you're sure you want to use a Card # equal to 0.

Initial Load of Web Inventory Doesn't Show Image Thumbnail
_____________________________________________________________________________
Update Installer Overwrites Check Signature File
_____________________________________________________________________________
Charts > Sales by Month -- Includes Voided Sales
The 'Sales by Month' Chart was including Voided sales -- this has been fixed!
This was reported by Betsy @ Optimist's Bazaar. :)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Amex (American Express) for X-Charge Still Showing Under 'Other' Payments
For X-Charge users, Amex (American Express) CC payments were still being included in the 'Other' Payments group.
This has been fixed!
This issue was reported by Trendz as well as Twice Trendy Tots!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Shopify Redirect for Web Orders Not Linking to Correct URL
The automatic redirect to the Shopify Order + the direct-link to the Shopify Order, were not utilizing the correct address. This has been fixed!
This issue was reported by Robin @ The Robin's Egg!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Charts -- Move to On Tab Enter + Background Worker
The Charts have received a performance improvement, moving the loading of the data to the moment each chart is viewed vs. all charts loading at once.
These have also been moved to a separate thread, so they can load without the user interface locking-up on larger datasets.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Shopify Settings > Use Short Product Title Not Remembering 'Un-Checked'
_____________________________________________________________________________
Peeps2Go -- Monthly Chart
There's an awesome new 'Sales by Month' chart in Peeps2Go! This shows you your monthly sales totals (dollar amount) and can show up to 4 years of data!
This is a great way to compare and even project sales!
By default, the chart shows 4 years of data, but you can adust this right within Peeps' Software under Settings > Store > Online > Peeps2Go Settings.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Charts Time-Out (No Explicit Query Timeout Set)
An explicit timeout has been set for the query, so it doesn't time-out on larger datasets.
This was reported by Mommy's Lil Rascals!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Core Totals Times-Out (No Explicit Query Timeout Set)
Added an explicit query timeout to the Core Totals queries, so they wouldn't timeout on larger datasets!
This was reported by MLR!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Inventory Reports (BOR, Store Inventory, Inventory by Account, etc) 'Through Days' Issue
Various Inventory reports were including a day ahead, for the Through date -- e.g. if you tried to report on items From/Though 1/21 - 1/21, it would include items from 1/21 - 1/22. This has been fixed!
This issue was reported by Twice Trendy Tots. :)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Peeps2Go -- Stats Refresh Options
There is now an advanced setting that allows for the Stats Refresh time to be increased/decreased (e.g. from every 1 minute to every 30 minutes), as well as a query timeout setting.
This is for stores with larger datasets.

Image Thumbnail on Web Inventory Doesn't Display on Workstations
_____________________________________________________________________________
Move Split Info. Fetch to On-Tab Enter vs. Split Load
The loading of the Split Stats on the Info. tab now loads when the tab is viewed vs. when the Split is loaded. This improves the performance of the View Splits screen loading and navigation.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Copy Fees to Other Splits
You can now copy Inventory Fees from one Split to another! This helps save you the time of setting-up the same Fee structure on a different Split!
On each Split, while viewing the Fee tab, you'll see a 'Copy To Another Split' button. If the Split you're viewing has Fees, when clicked, you'll be asked to choose which Split you'd like to copy the Fees *to*.
If the Split you're copying-to already has Fees setup, you'll be prompted of this and asked if you'd like to replace those Fees with the new ones.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Printing A Sample Check THEN Printing A Check, Shows '***VOID***' In Address
After printing a Sample Check, if the Pay Account screen wasn't closed, the sample '*** VOID ***' info. still printed on the check.
This has been fixed!
This issue was reported by Betsy @ Optimist's Bazaar!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Can Enter a Cost for Buy Outright During Add Inventory, Then Change to Consignment
This has been fixed!
This issue was reported by Suki @ Closet Revival!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Peeps2Go -- Validate Account ID for Booth/Dealer/Vendor
This has been fixed! Now, when enabling a consignor's account for vendor access, Peeps2Go will verify if it's a valid Account ID or not.
This was reported by Abby @ Trendz!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Inventory by Status -- Total Cost Not Totalling
The 'Total Cost' now properly totals!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Show 'Last Sync' On Web Inventory Screen
There's a new 'Last Sync' message at the bottom of the Web Inventory screen!
This is in the all new Info. Bar (i.e. StatusStrip), across the bottom of the screen.
This will show the last Date/Time Peeps synced with Shopify. If it's been more than 1 day since a sync, the message will appear in a dark/warm red color. If it's been longer than 2 days since your last sync, the message will display in a bright red color.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Default Weight Per-Category, For Shopify
There's a new default weight option on each Category! You can now set individual Categories to a specific weight (in Pounds).
This is helpful for clothing vs. home accessories or handbags.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Consignor Login 'Clear Upload Flag' Setting
There's a new 'Reset Account Upload' feature within each account, under Account Overview Settings.
For stores utilizing Peeps' Consignor Login service, each time an account's History is uploaded, it gets flagged as such, so only *new* stuff uploads the next time.
In some situations (e.g. Internet loss), an account's latest History might not be synced.
This provides a reset switch to force their account History to re-upload during the next upload process. :)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Check Email Settings to Make Sure My.Settings Isn't Being Hit @ Email Account
Resolved the issue where old installs (e.g. from 5 years ago) used to use a local email setting vs. the current method of storage (stored in the database), would lead to a 'Please configure your SMTP Settings' warning when trying to send emails on post-v2.16 installs.
_____________________________________________________________________________
SMTP Settings -- 'Clean Install' On Workstation, If 'Save' Has Never Been Clicked
Fixed an issue where certain older installs, would prompt that SMTP Settings have not been configured.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Open Layways Email 'Nudge' -- # of Items and Days Open Not Showing
_____________________________________________________________________________
Option to Print (and Email) Inventory Lists Without Store Fee In Price
There's a new 'Item Fees in Price' option under Settings > Printers > More! This allows stores to choose whether or not they want to include the Item Fee in the Price of items, when printing or emailing the Drop-off Receipt.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Add No Sale/Open Drawer Count to Daily Summary Email & Peeps2Go
Both the Daily Email Summary and Peeps2Go now show your 'No Sale/Open Drawer' count for the day!
In keeping with one of the core benefits of the Daily Email Summary and Peeps2Go -- i.e. you gain insight into not only stats, but any potential 'behaviors' you want to be able to catch as an owner -- I felt being able to see the 'No Sale/Open Drawer' count would help owners notice if there were any "odd increases" in the cash drawer being manually opened, even if an employee has permission to do so.
