TimeSlips 2011 : Time and Money Maximized!

Sage has recently announced the release of TimeSlips 2011 with product enhancements that are simple yet effective in eliminating nagging problems reported by users.

But the real “WOW” factor comes from the inclusion of new sophisticated features that are bound to improve functionality immensely.

NEW REPORTS

User-defined invoice reports - You can now create your own custom reports from invoice transactions. You can optionally include a break down of transactions applied to the invoices. This allows you to design reports that include only the invoice information that you need.

ENHANCED REPORTING

Improved charts and graphs - When creating or editing graph reports, you now have more control over the appearance of the graph.

Enhanced report wizard - When finding and creating reports, the report wizard now includes more info about reports, with links to a report sample and report Help.

Starting templates for user-defined reports- When creating user-defined reports using the report wizard, users can now choose a starting template. This provides a starting set of fields that users can modify to fit their needs.     

Calculation totals - When including custom calculations on user-defined reports, there are now Totaling Options that allow you to control how each field in the calculation is summed in the total.  

Determine record separators in user-defined reports - When designing and formatting user-defined reports, you can now determine how individual records are spaced in the report (extra spaces, lines, or both).    

Change view size on print preview- When previewing reports on-screen, you now have more control over the size of the report being displayed.

You can show one or two rows for each record (slip or transaction) and you can change justification for each individual field.

Quick description entry on lists - When reviewing slips or transactions on the Time and Expense Slip List, the Accounts Receivable List, and the Client Funds List, you can now add or edit descriptions without having to open the record first.    

Restrict slip entry - When you have restricted clients, you can now set up security so some timekeepers are warned when entering slips for them and other timekeepers are prevented from entering slips for them.    

Payment types - When you enter payments, you indicate the method that the customer used to pay the bill.

Enhanced billing

Custom PDF names when sending bills or statements by email - When sending bills or statements by email, you can now control the name of the PDFs. Use simple text, data tokens, or a combination of both to ensure each PDF has a unique name.     

Current billing date visible/changeable from status area - Quickly review or change the current billing an aging date at the bottom of the Timeslips window.
