Variable Fees Vanish

I may have mentioned before that the program interface for ZonePro SQL is very similar to ZonePro 32. There are, however, some differences. Some are due to the switch to remote data storage and some are due to design decisions. I plan to enter a series of posts outlining these differences. For example, ZP SQL no longer supports variable fees. This change affects the fee screens for Zoning Permits and Building Permits. In ZP 32 you can have 3 types of fees in your permit fee schedules: flat fees, formulas, and variable fee lists. In ZP SQL we have scuttled the variable fee lists. This was purely a design decision. Several years back the formula option for fees was expanded to include scripts. This scripting option has proved to be a much more flexible way of storing lists of fees if needed, thereby paving the way for the variable fee options obsolescence. This change will only affect existing customer who are considering ZP SQL. Any existing variable fee lists need to be changed to formula scripts before converting to ZP SQL.
