Adagio Time&Billing 8.1B

Latest Service Pack
Adagio Time&Billing 8.1B Release Notes

Released: September 27th, 2009

Compatible with Adagio Receivables V9.0A and V8.1A. If Version 9.0A is installed then new features available in this version are supported, including function specific alerts. Users in Adagio Receivables can now view docket and WIP information about a client directly in the Transaction Inquiry screen. Clients can be located by client name or phone number in addition to client code. If Adagio DataCare is installed, it can now perform an Application Integrity Check automatically. If Adagio Ledger 9.0 is installed, Time&Billing will warn or prevent transactions being posted to a closed period in the general ledger. Hours may be sent to the general ledger as statistical units if desired.

Work descriptions entered with WIP records can now be loaded directly in a bill and modified when billing a docket.

Time & disbursements posted to one docket can easily be moved to another docket.

Bills can be printed to file in Text (.TXT), Rich text (.RTF) or PDF format. This allows bills to be modified or enhanced prior to being sent to a client. The file name can be defaulted to include the client code. New specification codes have been added to support formatted addresses.

All entry and inquiry screens have been made sizeable and speed (Alt-) keys have been added to flip between tabs.

The billing method on a client can be changed without requiring a purge of the transactions.

The Adagio log on process has been improved. The user can be identified through their Windows authenticated user ID using the “remember user name” and “remember password” options on the log in dialog. The Previously Opened database list is now saved by Adagio User rather than for all users. The Previously Opened list also displays the date the data was last accessed by the user.

Date entry has been improved by recognizing a single number as a day and defaulting the month and year of the entry. Four digit numbers default the year. Entering “12” into the date control with the sign-on date being Feb 26, 2008 will result in February 12, 2008 being returned to the application.

Adagio Time&Billling will optionally create a backup of related data whenever a Data Integrity Check completes without errors. Adagio Time&Billling will always create a backup of a database prior to applying any “fix” as a result of the “Rebuild” option being selected to repair damaged data. Backup details are written to the log file.

Imports can be automatically processed on start up to simplify the integration with external applications.

And these changes were made in earlier versions:

Version 8.1A (May 16th, 2008)

Adagio Time&Billing and TimeKeeper are compatible with Windows Vista.

Files (dockets) may be marked Active/Inactive.

SmartFinder allows you to search your master files by up to five criteria. Select multiple comparisons using "AND", "OR", "AND NOT" and "OR NOT" conjunctions between rules. Use SmartFinder as a simple report writer or export (to Excel) tool.

Data backups made with File | Backup can now be automatically uploaded to Websafe for secure offsite backup.

More user control is available on what information is sent to the general ledger. If Adagio Ledger V9.0A or higher is in use, two lines of transaction description may be sent. Additional information is also available in the general ledger batch to assist in identifying transactions originating in Adagio Checks.

The Specification Designer File | Open dialog has been improved to facilitate the selection of the desired form for editing.

Adagio Time&Billing now supports all the Adagio V8.0 features with the exception of multi-currency.

Alerts entered in Receivables will be displayed when the client is referenced in Time&Billing.

You can launch multiple instances of Time&Billing on the same workstation.

Invoices can be e-mailed as well as faxed. Separate e-mail addresses are maintained for the invoice recipient. Invoices can be queued prior to transmission.

A complete billing history is maintained. You can reprint invoices from the billing history and print a report from the contents. This file will reflect all postings that have been made in Adagio Time&Billing since the installation of Version 6.8A.

A complete time and disbursement history is now accessible. This information was being captured from the installation of Version 6.8B. There is now a report that prints its contents, as well as a purge function to clear transactions.

A company profile option enables the automatic printing of posting journals after posting. This makes it easier to save your posting journals and saves processing steps every day.
