Version 8.4 now available

Posted on September 7, 2008
 RentMaster version 8.4 has been released and is available now

These are the key highlights.

  • On the owner details screen is a new tab which displays account information such as the last disbursement, anticipated next disbursement value and available funds.
  • Look-ahead typing has been added to combo boxes, which means you can type the first few characters and it will find the closest match as you type.
  • The ledger transactions report now includes disbursement payments.
  • The Vacant Property Handout report now optionally can include the properties address.
  • Custom Fields have now been added to contractors, in a similar way to custom fields added to tenants and properties and owners.
  • Long term property rentals have now been added to the booking calendar screen as non-editable bookings.

    • Also other minor changes included in this release include...

  • When editing a previous disbursement transaction, the reserve amount was being zeroed out. Fixed.
  • In the date combo, when the date is set to <None>, if the user types a number e.g. 12, the 1 is being ignored and only the 2 was being retained. Now both characters are retained.
  • On the rent status screen, clicking the last column heading was causing the program to crash. Fixed.
  • Some people with faster computers was getting a reboot when updating to a newer version. This has been reduced.
  • The Last Disbursement report now has column totals.
  • On the Mainteance/Options screen, currency and date format changing has been made easier. It still occurs through the windows control panel though.
  • The Mainteance/Options screen has been rearanged a bit. The Tax tab has been replaced with a Regional tab.
  • If you edit a tenant, the focus is set to the name instead of the property combo box initially. Some people were edit a property, and then scrolling the mouse wheel, which was changing the property associated with that tenant.
  • The booking calendar screen maximum visible property count has been increased from 50 to 100, for people with large enough monitors.
  • On the Owner Transaction Summary report, the word Disbursement has been added to the details column for disbursement transactions.
  • When creating expense transactions via work orders, the Automatic Extra Fee on the expense group was being ignored. Fixed.
