3.2.9 Release Notes (09-29-2018)

Storefront

  1. If a customer puts an item in his/her shopping cart during the advanced shopping period, and then loads the shopping cart after the deadline date has passed, prices will be updated to the standard prices and the customer will be notified:
    Shopping Cart Message


  2. There was a bug where a customer could click into "My Orders" on the storefront, get to the details of an order in an event that was no longer published, and copy the order, thus filling up his/her shopping cart for an event not published.  This loophole has been corrected.

  3. A customer may no longer edit or remove an item that has a delivery date if the delivery date has passed.  This scenario might happen an event's start date has passed, but the end date has not and it is therefore still published.

  4. The last release added "Show Acronym" as a searchable field for an event.  It worked properly in the Admin Portal but not on the Storefront.  This has been corrected and your customers can now search by Acronym.

  5. A flag in a product's configuration detail determines whether the product is "taken down" from the storefront automatically after the advance pricing deadline date.  You can find the flag in the product detail as shown below:


    Advance Pricing Period Field

Events

  1. A new command available above the Events grid allows you to "Lock Event Pricing" for one or more events (controllable by security).  This would be used for any event that you did not explicitly import an event level price list to, and whose pricing would therefore otherwise be updated if the default supplier level pricing was changed.  See Lock Event Pricing.

Contacts

  1. Under a contact's Payments on file, the last four digits of the credit card has been made a clickable link that launches details about how added the card and when, and who last modified it and when:


    Card On File

Orders

  1. Better indicators have been added to indicate that the order is associated with an EAC/Third Party.  They include:

    1. The order will be listed under both the exhibiting organization's orders as well as the EAC organization/contact.
    2. An asterisk will appear after the order number if the order is associated with an EAC/Third Party.

      Exhibitors Grid

    3. The order contact's company appears under the contact's name on the order summary:


      EAC Order Summary
  2. A credit card's Expiration Date/Month field now has a preceding number value to represent the month in numeric format:

    Credit Card
  3. When an order is initially created, the history log entry has been changed from "Initial Order Creation" to "Initial Order Creation/Terms & Conditions Accepted" so that it is clear they also accepted the terms and conditions.

Shipments

  1. A new shipment status called "Shipment has Arrived at the Warehouse".  If you are currently using the shipment status field, you can set up an email trigger to notify your customer of shipment arrival at the warehouse. If you need assistance in setting this trigger out, please email support.

  2. A shipment's Pro # has been added to the Freight Revenue Detail report.
