New Aging Criterion and

Last Payment Date Drilldown

The Customer form's Aging/Sales Summary tab has a new drill down on the Last Payment Date to quickly see how the payment was applied.
 BaristaBarista 21.0 Highlights That Benefit AddonSoftware

NEW Menuing System
Enhanced User Menu Keyword/
Direct Invocation
Barista's menuing system has been improved "inside and out," as it is now stored in a single set of data tables rather than flat text files making it much more flexible and robust. The Menu Maintenance program now provides an advanced menu tree that is synchronized with the corresponding standard Barista maintenance form. The menu tree has new features to allow for menu node creation and positioning via drag-n-drop. Custom application menus can be deployed and added to Barista installations using the same synchronization functions used for other application objects.
It's like a Favorites menu on steroids. By specifying a Menu Keyword on the Users form, users who spend a lot of time in a given form can have it launch automatically as soon as they log in - a real-time-saver. The new 'Direct Invocation' flag goes even further and, when set, instructs Barista to bypass the MDI and run the menu task directly after login in SDI mode. Also, the 'Field Find' function for the Menu Keyword displays the menu tree, so it's fast and easy to find the menu item of interest.


List EditorQuick-Sync
A new system dialog type in element types manages a string of comma or semicolon-separated list items, like email addresses, via a simplified tree form with each "node" being an item in the list. After making changes, saving the list rebuilds and returns the single string value. To see the new editor in action, click the Find Field button for email recipients when emailing via the Document Processing Queue.
A new option to the Auto-Sync and Synchronize Barista dialogs imports any application and administrative sync records only. It does not import table definitions, nor perform subsequent processing on them.
