Features
In this section you’ll find details of new features we’ve added to the platform that we think you will find interesting.
Work Order Supplier Validation
You can now specify various levels of validation on a suppliers insurance and licenses when creating work orders. Choose from three levels of validation:
Ignore it and issue work orders regardless of license or insurance status
Provide a warning to the user where insurance or licenses have expired
Prevent work order creation where insurance or licenses have expired
Specify the level of validation you want to enforce in the work orders settings screen.
To support this change, the insurance and license information for a supplier has been moved to its own section in the address book. This allows you to allow only specific users to access that sensitive information.
Invoice Processing
Previously, when viewing the “Manager Review” step as a ‘manager user’, you were restricted to seeing invoices for your own properties. Now you are able to filter of other manager portfolios. As part of this change, we’ve also changed the way filters work – when set in ‘list view’, they are now remembered in the document view. This allows you to process all invoices on a specific property – for example.
Improvements
In this section you’ll find details of improvements we’ve made to existing parts of the system. These are usually smaller changes than those listed in the above ‘features’ section (however some of them might be very useful).
Debt Collection Flag
Where a unit is flagged as being with a debt collector, an icon now shows against their unit in the “Unit List” screen.
Committee Members
When adding a committee member you now have the option to auto-fill the contact details from the owners record.
Master CID
The following screens have been enhanced to support master CID’s”
Approval Setup
Account Management
Upcoming Levies
Upcoming Arrears
Budgets
The “Master CID” function allows you to have more than one Urbanise Strata “Client ID” (“CID”) that can be connected in a hierarchy. This is useful for business that have multiple offices, or central processing facilities. What does “Master CID” mean?
Other Improvements
Work Orders: When using a multi CID environment work orders will now only display for the CID you’re currently viewing
Task Triggers: Legacy triggers that are not related to Urbanise Strata have been hidden
Tasks: An icon has been added against sub-tasks to allow easy removal from parent tasks
General: The “WalkMe” help feature was reactivated
Cost Centres: You can now edit the details of a cost centre until such time as a transaction is recorded against it in the General Ledger
Reports: A new global report for units on a payment plan
Reports: Minor changes to the global “Aged Debtors – Levies” report
Reports: Minor changes to the property level “Aged Debtors” report
Reports: Minor changes to the property level “Aged Levy Statement” report
