  • When you click on the Print option, a window with print settings will appear (in some browsers, a print preview might also be available).
  • When you click on the Download option, the file will be downloaded to your computer (in some browsers, a dialog window might appear in which you have to decide what you want to do next).

Invoice / Cash receipt number check

  • When invoices or cash receipts are issued, the system checks whether the number used is in accordance with the rule Highest number in the invoice group + 1.
  • If the number is not in accordance with the rule, a message appears during the save process that informs the user of the fact. The user can choose whether they want to continue or not.
  • If the user confirms that they want to continue, the invoice or cash receipt with a given number is issued. If not, they can go back to the form.
  • There is a new button Load next to the field for entering an invoice or cash receipt number. Using this button, you can have the system retrieve the number that is in accordance with the rule.

Other devices

  • There is a new tab in the Hardware section of the main menu: Other devices
  • If you do not see this tab in the menu, it will be necessary to check your user account seetings (Settings / Administrators / Administrators) and change them. Go to the Rights for Main menu section and look for Other devices. Check the relevant boxes.
  • To be able to work with Other device cards, it will also be necessary to specify the permission settings in the Rights for Other device card section.
  • If you set everything up, you should be able to see the tab in the menu.
  • The page contains a table with a list of other devices and various options (Add new device, Edit, etc.)
  • When adding a new device, you have to fill in the basic information about the device.
  • If you click on the name of a particular device in the list, you are redirected to the Other device card.

POPs for all device types

  • It is now possible to select POPs for all device types.
  • If a particular POP is selected, its data are automatically applied to a given device, which means that it is no longer possible to enter GPS coordinates, address, etc.
  • When the form is being saved, the system performs a check. If the GPS coordinates of the device are about to change as a result of choosing a particular POP, an alert is displayed that informs the user of the fact. The user then has to decide whether they agree with this or not.
  • If a different POP is selected in the device form and the form is saved, the POP setting is also changed in the relevant link settings.
  • If the address, GPS coordinates or location of the POP changes, the change is automatically applied to all the devices in the POP.

  • Settings / Other / SNMP OID: The SNMP version setting has been removed from the the Add/Edit template form. The corresponding column has been removed from the list of templates.

  • Add/Edit device: When you select a particular exact type, the system will automatically set the SNMP version to the one specified in the given device type settings.

SNMP serial retrieval

  • By default, the system retrieves OID data in bulk.
  • Some devices do not support this bulk process. This may lead to graphs not being plotted.
  • You can now check the SNMP serial retrieval checkbox in the form.
  • If you activate this option, the device in question will not use the default method. It will retrieve data step by step.
  • If you are experiencing problems with graph plotting for a particular device, try activating this option. If the cause of the problem is what is described above, the system will start to plot the relevant graph after the activation of the option.
