Transcripts & Notices

🧐 Free Trial & Self-Service Upgrade

  • Potential customers are now able to sign up for a free trial of Transcripts & Notices.

  • Once the trial is over, customers are able to upgrade to a subscription to Transcripts & Notices on their own with absolutely no social interaction. Wahoo!

Time & Billing

πŸ’° Profitability Report 2.0

  • Several enhancements have been added to the current report.

    • Updated the name of the report to "Profitability"

    • Option to group by service item or contact

    • New "Billable amount" column (duration of time multiplied by the rate)

    • New "Adjusted amount" column (billed amount less the billable amount)

  • With this improved report, you can find answers to questions like:

    • Do we have unprofitable clients that we need to bid farewell to?

    • Are there services we offer that don't bring in enough profit?

    • Which clients or services are we often writing up/down?

  • These changes will allow our team to develop future reports that are customizable and will provide users with a way to slice and dice data any way they would like!

πŸ’Ύ Save Filters on Time Entries Table

πŸͺ„ Zero Out an Invoice

  • We released a feature that allows you to record an invoice as "zero balance due". This can be used in cases where you don't want to charge a client for work performed but still want to show the client all work that was completed.


Mobile

🀳🏼 Manage Your Profile Picture

  • We released a feature for the Canopy App that allows you to take or select a photo from your phone and save it as your profile picture. This is now live on Android and iOS!

πŸ”’ Open Password Protected PDFs

  • So long as you know the password, you are now able to open and view PDFs that are password protected.


πŸͺ² Minor Releases/Bug Fixes

Time & Billing

Hidden Billing Tab Notifications Fix

  • Our team found that certain billing-related notifications were still populating for clients even when practitioners hid the billing tab from the client's portal.

  • The release for the fix is live and now all billing-related notifications will be hidden when a practitioner opts to hide the billing tab in the client's portal.

Credits Refactor

  • Only backend work was done, the credits experience on the front end is unchanged!

  • This experience provides better performance and simplifies the process of improving and maintaining code in the future.

Mobile

File Renaming Bug

  • A bug was reported for the rule of no illegal characters when renaming files, and it has been fixed!

Auto-Timeout for iPad

  • Auto-timeout on iPad has been extended from 2.5 minutes to 5 minutes.

App Crashes Due to PDF Experience

  • Customers should not experience the app crashing when they use the PDF feature.

  • We have pushed a fix for this and will continue to monitor the situation.

Document Management

Virtual Drive Updates

  • Performance updates to help lessen CPU utilization when items are not actively syncing.

  • A file/folder is restored to the Virtual Drive when a team member deletes a contact folder or a file/folder that they are not permitted to handle. This cuts down on 400 errors that customers may see.

  • Our team has also fixed some installation, configuration, and error-handling issues.

Fast File Loading

  • When opening a document in Canopy, the document will now load the first pages of the document within a few seconds. The remaining pages will continue to load as you scroll. Talk about speed!

Workflow

Task Dashboard Performance

  • Performance enhancements have been released on the task dashboard.

  • This will help customers to have a bit faster experience.

Automation Improvements

  • Due to many customer requests, our team has changed how automation rules run when relating to date conditions!

  • If a date condition is met for a completed task/subtask/client request, the automation rule will not run.

Sort Users Alphabetically

  • Assignees listed in the dropdown are alphabetical, so as to help customers find desired assignees more easily!
