Staff Site Adds Document Screens

Every ZP SQL customer just had their Staff web sites updated. The major new addition is document pages for all of the application databases. This was the last major piece of the puzzle in creating a web-based version of ZP SQL that can rival the Windows interface. I also redesigned the report pages. Both the report pages and the document pages work like the Windows interface in that they dynamically load the list of available reports and documents. Each report and document is saved as a separate file in the same fashion they are in the Windows program. This makes it possible to easily add new reports and documents to the system and to customize the existing documents. As always, please try out the new features and let me hear your suggestions for improvements!

New Custom Report Training Video

Yesterday I had a customer request that I create a custom report for them. Instead I posted a new Training Video that shows how to they could do it themselves in 5 minutes. You can watch the new video here!

Staff Site Redesign

Today I am posting another revision of the Staff web site for all ZP SQL customers. The new version has a redesigned Dashboard feature and numerous new pages. This site now has almost all of the main functionality of the Windows interface (with the major exception of document output options). Please let me know if you find it lacking any features from the Windows interface that are important to you. I would like any feedback on ways to make this site a really useful tool for ZP SQL customers.

Maintenance Fee Pages Added to Staff Site

Yesterday I posted a new Staff web site for all ZP SQL customers. There are numerous new features including the addition of Fee definition pages in the Maintenance section. This is a major step forward to providing a full featured web experience. I have devised a way to store and calculate formula based fees from the web site. The web formulas and Windows formulas are stored separately since the code has to be different but translating existing Windows formulas to their web equivalent is relatively straight forward. Any customer that wants help translating their formulas should contact me. As always, I'd love to get some feedback on the new features being added to the Staff web sites!

Email Options From Staff Web Site

I have just added several Email options to the Staff web site. You can launch an email screen from the Building Inspection page, the Contractor page, and the Contact File page. These screens are all designed so that you can copy in various chunks of field data easily and also add your own text. Before you use this feature you should probably go to the Email Setup page under the new Maintenance section to at least save your preferred return email address. You can send Emails without having to add your own SMTP server by using our built in default. If this doesn't work for you, the Setup page lets you enter your own SMTP server information. Try this feature out and give me your feedback!

Staff Site Adds Maintenance Section

A recent major addition to the Staff web site is a series of pages that are the equivalent of the Maintenance Options section in the Windows version of ZonePro. This is the first time I have added any of the Maintenance screens to a web site.Not all of the Maintenance options are available from the web yet (notably most of the screens dealing with fees are still absent) but a great deal of functionality is present. Please try this section out and give me your feedback as again fleshing out the web side of ZonePro is a major emphasis this year. Thanks!

Staff Sites Deployed

Every ZP SQL customer now has the new version of the Staff site available for them from their web root page. Please try this new site out and let me hear your suggestions. In almost every case, the new Staff site is accessed from the same link used to get to the old Staff site. If you wish to have access to your older Staff site for some reason, it is still there and I can easily add a link. If you have your old Staff site linked from another page (such as your main community web site) you may want to consider switching to the newer version. I'd be happy to advise based on how you currently make use of the system.
