ISPadmin 5.13 stable

RELEASE DATE: August 19, 2020 (updated: October 05, 2020)

Security fix

Nette upgrade to version 2.4.16 (based on CVE-2020-15227): This is the first serious vulnerability in the Nette framework. The problem is that an attacker could, under certain circumstances, execute code remotely using a special URL. According to our security analysis, ISPadmin 5 was not vulnerable to this security threat. Still, we recommend that you upgrade your system as soon as possible.

POPs

POP settings have been moved from Settings / Code lists / POPs to Hardware / POPs / All.
On the page, you can see a list of POPs along with basic information about them.
You can add, edit and delete individual POPs. You can also view them on the map.
When you click on the name of a particular POP, you will be redirected to the POP card, which contains overviews with contacts, photos, devices, contracts, Inventory items and documents related to the given POP.
You can add photos, contracts, Inventory items and documents to individual POPs.
You can have the system generate a contract based on the selected template (including system variables) or you can upload an already created contract.
The overview from Hardware / Overview has been moved to Hardware / POPs / Overview.

Additional invoice item text

There is a new field Additional invoice item text in the settings of all types of services with the exception of the General service.
Then, there is a new variable $INVOICE_ITEM_TEXT$, which you can use in the Description on invoice field in the active service settings in Settings / Active services / General.
If you have entered a short additional text in the active service settings in the Client card and entered the variable in the settings of the corresponding service type, an invoice item will appear on invoices that contains what you entered into the given field in the service settings.
You can put the variable anywhere within the description. However, bear in mind that the last place is always reserved for the invoiced period generated by the system.

Bulk invoice generation

We have incorporated into the bulk invoice generation process a new mechanism that prevents any potential negative invoices from being issued.
If, for example, a user adds (for some reason) a negative pending item to the list in the Client card, it could lead to the creation of a negative invoice (a combination of service prices, discounts and negative pending items).
The system finds such invoices during generation and skips them.
Then, it displays a list of clients to whom invoices could not be issued for that reason.
You can click on the individual clients. Once you do that, you are redirected to their Client card, where you can check the invoiced items.
You can make the necessary changes based on this information.
We have incorporated into the bulk invoice generation process a further improvement that prevents completely null invoices from being issued.
By that, we do not mean that all invoices with a total of zero will not be issued. We are referring here specifically to invoices containing only null items.
In such cases, it makes no sense to issue an invoice.
The system finds such invoices during generation and skips them.
Then, it displays a list of clients to whom invoices could not be issued for that reason.
You can click on the individual clients. Once you do that, you are redirected to their Client card, where you can check the invoiced items.

Reminders

Reminder templates: If you set the Minimum debt amount per invoice required for a reminder to be sent item to 0, it meant that the system took into account the default setting from the general invoicing settings (request_for_pay_min_amount).
After the change in this version, the value from the request_for_pay_min_amount setting will no longer be taken into account in such cases. That means that if you enter 0 into the form, the system will generate reminders for all invoices (no matter how high the debt is).

Calendar

In the Technicians section in the sidebar, technicians that are to be displayed and technicians that are not to be displayed are now readily distinguishable from one another.
The Information section has been removed.
Information from that section has been transferred to the Settings section, where it can be displayed (if necessary) in a pop-up window.
In the Settings section, a new checkbox has been added that allows you to enable/disable the existing form of navigation in the Calendar.
If the box is checked, navigation within the Calendar will be the same as before.
If the box is not checked, navigation within the Calendar will be the same as navigation in the rest of the system (vertical or horizontal moves).
The box is checked by default, but you can change the setting for each individual user.

Tasks

Since most tasks start and end within a single day, we have changed the way the end date and time is entered.
Before the change, it was necessary to select a particular day and then a particular time.
Now you have to select a particular time only.
If you need to select a different day, it is still possible.
You need to click on the predefined date in the window and change it.

Time spent

When adding a new activity to a task, you can now enter the time spent in hours and minutes. That will allow you to enter a more precise value.
Before the change, you could enter the time spent in hours only.
If a user needed 90 minutes to finish the activity, they entered 1.5 into the Hours field. Now they have to enter 1 into the Hours field and 30 into the Minutes field.
If a user needed 30 minutes to finish the activity, they entered 0.5 into the Hours field. Now they have to enter 30 into the Minutes field.
If a user needed 60 minutes to finish the activity, they entered 1 into the Hours field. Now they have to enter 1 into the Hours field, too.
The format of the time spent has been changed in all the relevant overviews (h:min).

Work report

Scheduling / Report: Before the change, only completely finished (closed) tasks appeared on this page. Now even tasks that are not closed may appear here (if there is an activity added to the task).
In connection with that change, a change also occurred in tasks that span several periods. Formerly, such tasks appeared in the period when the last activity took place. Now they will appear in all the relavant periods (for example: part of the task in one month and part of the task in another month) along with the corresponding time spent and price values.
When the time spent and price values are calculated for tasks with multiple technicians (users), individual activities that are linked to particular users are taken into account. When a task is closed, no further calculation takes place.

Cancellations

If you check the Delete service automatically when cancellation date is over box, you can also choose a new status for the given client.
If no status is chosen, no change will occur. Everything thus works the same way as it did before.
If a particular status is chosen, the service in question will be deleted and the status will be changed to the chosen (different) one.
All changes are logged in the history.

List of dealer commissions

In Settings / Administrators / Dealers / Show statistics / List of commissions, you can find a list of a particular dealer’s commissions.
You can use the Service type and the Commission type filters.
If you select a particular service type in the Service type filter, it is not possible to use the Commission type, because the commission type is always Recurring in such cases.
If you select the One-off option in the Commission type filter, it is not possible to use the Service typefilter (for the same reason).
The fulltext search feature looks for matches in service name, service ID, client name and commission.
Data can be sorted by the Client column or the Commission type column.
