What`s New ?
|
 SMS sender
datapos now includes the ability to send sms messages. The new screen (located at menu option 9.8) is able to send to multiple recipients, and will even store messages for easy retrieval and use.
Messages can also be sent from within the customer,supplier and job screens. Sending from within these screens will automatically send the correct mobile phone number to the sms sender.
To better integrate this new feature, you will notice that the customer and supplier screens have been updated and now have a mobile phone number box instead of the old fax2 box.
During the dataupgrade routine, datapos will search your files for mobile phone numbers and automatically place them into this box.
Don`t worry if you had important numbers in the fax2 box, these numbers will not have been overwritten.
To start using SMS and to get 20 FREE text messages, simply click here, and sign up using the promotional code "dcl-1234" (without the quotes)
Once your username and password are sent to you, enter them into the admin screen (8.2) on tab 2.14 and you are up and running!
Full details on how to use the new screen are available in the help file.

 TVLA data
Copies of the csv files sent to TVLA are now stored in a folder (called TVLA) within your main data directory.
|
 datapost!
You can now send a datapost note to any datapos user, even yourself. The datapost note will appear on your screen, and give you a reminder of all the little things you could forget!
For a more serious use, this a great way of notifying key members of staff of important calls, and workshop engineers of items that have arrived for repair.
If this is activated from the administration screen, and not by each user, this feature cannot be turned off, ensuring that everyone gets the message!
After installing the upgrade, datapost will start automatically. To change this setting, enter the admin screen and turn datapos on then off. Full instructions are available in the help manual!
