New Features and Enhancements
The following were feature requests submitted by users like you:

- When you print or email a Sale, Invoice, Estimate, or Purchase Order, a Contact Log entry is made automatically. That entry includes the user’s name, date, time, and topic. Open Preferences > Reports My Preferences to turn this feature on and to set default Contact Log Topics. Ticket: JL294
- Added additional fields to Invoice Items List. These include Mfg Part No, Date Created, User Created, and User Revised. Ticket: CSM072
