Enhanced Performance
More efficient workflow
Ensure an efficient workflow with new customization options. Help improve the performance of Sage Timeslips on individual workstations by turning off features and options on a per-workstation basis instead of being controlled globally.
Easier slip description editing
Edit your slip or transaction descriptions without opening the entry dialog box. You’ll appreciate the more efficient workflow afforded by the option to add or edit descriptions for slips, A/R transactions, and funds transactions directly from a list.
Faster bill approvals
Spend less time approving bills, even in larger bill runs. Now when you move generated bills to a bill stage, such as proof, audit, revision, or undo, the process will take less time, thanks to significant improvements in processing.
More room to write
Since many Sage Timeslips users rely on the Nickname 2 field to provide a detailed description of Timekeepers, Clients, Tasks, and/or Expenses, this field has now increased from 15 to 30 characters for greater flexibility. In addition, a security feature has been added that lets you determine if Nickname 2 names can be duplicated, making its characteristics more like Nickname 1.
Custom names for bills and statements emailed to clients
A new custom naming convention is now available for bills and statements emailed* to your clients. Where previously all bills and statements had the same file name, you can now include individual client names, invoice numbers, or invoice dates with data tokens.
More secure slip entry
You’ll appreciate the improved security measures in Sage Timeslips 2011. You now have the option to restrict slip entry completely on those clients who have that option checked. You can now warn or restrict slip entry on a client-by-client basis.
Convenient electronic payment options
Give your customers the convenience of paying with credit or debit card.** Process payments in Sage Timeslips with Sage Payment Solutions using the new Sage Exchange integration to authorize credit cards, get an immediate approval or declined code, reprint receipts, and void transactions as necessary. A new electronic transactions report is also included. Sage Exchange not only provides you with a compliant solution, but also the flexibility to use multiple merchant account providers to process your credit card transactions.
You also have greater flexibility in reporting payment information in A/R reports. New in Sage Timeslips 2011, you can now indicate the type of payment received: Credit card, check, and cash, along with five customizable options for payment types.
Create more custom fields per name type
The number of custom fields has been expanded in Sage Timeslips 2011. Because you can now create up to 90 custom fields for Clients, Timekeepers, Tasks, and Expenses, you can now use more than one electronic billing format per database and ensure there are custom fields available for reporting purposes, as well. You can even create up to six different groups to organize and categorize these custom fields.
Choose the data you want to display
Now you can choose the data to be displayed on the slip list, A/R transaction list, and funds transaction lists instead of viewing all information, some of which you may not find beneficial. In addition, you can change the background colors on list dialogs for easier reading. You can even choose the format that colors appear such as on each record or on each line in the list dialog.
Improved Reporting
Give customers more payment details
Customers now have the ability to get more detailed information on how payments and other transactions were applied to each invoice. The new User-Defined Invoice Listing provides greater flexibility for reporting on Invoices, so you’ll have at-a-glance access to information on how payments were applied.
Take control of grand total settings in calculations
You now have more control over how calculations are done for subtotals and grand totals in user-defined reports. New in Sage Timeslips 2011, you can choose how each field is calculated. Take more control over these values by using the sum as the total or use a custom formula to provide subtotals or grand totals.
Greater control over charts and graphs
Several new options allow you to take more control over how graphs display and the information contained on them. Labels can now be assigned to specific date points on the graph, so instead of only seeing data points, you can show the actual value for each point. Options controlling color and graph type with preview have also been added, for a more user-friendly feature graphing tool.
*Requires a MAPI-compliant email program, such as Microsoft Outlook®, and is not compatible with AOL email or Outlook Express.
**Subject to approval and to Sage Payment Solutions terms and conditions. Additional fees, Internet access, and credit card required. Approval and ability to process payments may take up to seven days to complete.
