New in 8.3 - Various stuff

Posted on June 7, 2008

There have been a number of small change made to RentMaster recently as follows.

The tenant history report was sometimes reporting the Rent Owing amount as a negative value, which meant the total balance owing was incorrect.  It should always be positive.  The printed report title has also been changed to Tenant History rather then Rent History, as that better reflects what it is, as it includes extra charges and payments as well as rent.

The Prospects utility did not allow any more than 1 yes/no question at a time on the data entry screen.  You can now have as many as you like.

On the property details screen Web tab, you can now enter the number of bathrooms with a decimal place, e.g. 1.5 bathrooms.  Apparently in some countries this is quite common.

In work orders, the job details print to contractors has had the contractors phone number shifted down, so the contractors address can now be used in a window envelope without the phone number in the middle of it.

A print button has been added to the Events screen.  The end report basically prints the grid contents.  You can achieve the same thing now by selecting the grid, then go to the file menu and choose Print Grid Contents.  But the print button just makes it easier and more obvious.
