The following is a good example of a simple, but very useful macro which runs automatically every time you close a product record. Basically it checks for oversights and so helps to ensure that your data is kept in good order.

Humans are notoriously bad at learning rules, remembering them and making sure that they get applied every time. Consequently, in common with, we are told, the rest of the universe, all data files tend naturally to move towards chaos. Macros can make a tremendous difference, because they can make sure that rules get applied every time and that data is checked for completeness and consistency.

We are currently incorporating credit card processing directly into the Enterprise 6 order processing system.

This is being done on behalf of a Daybook client in America, but will become available to others too when completed.

Please contact us for more information if this is of interest to you.

Heavy users of the Enterprise 6 Information Manager will be pleased to know that we have greatly enhanced the speed of doing complex IM searches. This enhancement is now in testing and will appear in the next release.

The Information Manager lets users maintain customer data quickly and effectively and use it to power their CRM processes. However, such is the nature of CRM that searches can become very complex, wide-ranging and time-consuming - so this change will make a big difference to many clients.

As part of our programme to enhance the Enterprise 6 reporting and data retrieval facilities, we have enhanced the More Choices searches. You can now save search criteria and select them from a dropdown menu within the window. You set one as your default; the search criteria then appear as soon as you open the window.

We will be extending the technology behind this to the Data List Manager shortly, so that you will quickly be able to create rule- based data lists, based on a search that you construct.

We are about to begin a project to enhance the way that the diary works and the way that it fits into your workflow. So now is the time to send any ideas or wishes for the diary. Please email info@daybook.co.uk.

We would like to remind customers that we are always eager to receive feedback. If you have any suggestions for changes or enhancements to any Daybook product, or if there is anything that would make your life easier (and is in our power to change) then please take the time to let us know.
