Coming in v9.3 - Ability to turn off features

Posted on February 20, 2010

People have commented that the software seems to be more complex than it needs to be.  This is a trade off software develops have to deal with.  By providing more features, the software provides more people with what they need.  But those additional features also seem to just get in the way for those people who dont need or want it.

So in version 9.3 there is the ability to turn off a few features which not everyone will need.  Those features are...

Holiday Homes

Depreciation

Mortgages

Inspections

Disbursements.

Landlords generally don't need disbursements and possibly inspections.  Property managers generally don't need depreciation and mortgages.  And most users don't need the holiday home features.  So now you can turn them off which hides them.

When you upgrade, all features will be turned on by default so you wont notice any change.  You can turn them off by going to the maintenance menu and choose options.  For new installs, the initial setup wizard will prompt to include or exclude these features, so new users can turn them off at the beginning.
