Update 12.61.30

This report has several enhancements to reports as requested by some of our clients.

IF YOU USE TIMECLOCKS there is one important change.  In some cases, the ONLY option management may want a tech to have is access to the time clock ( work time, and downtime ).  

1). We added a new entry in Security for Timeclocks.  It is the far right, bottom, of that list.  FOR ALL employees who use the timeclock, you need to go into the Security setting ( TOOLS -> SETUP -> Security ), and for those employees, check and save the Timeclock box.

2). If an employee is to have access only to the timeclocks, in the same place, uncheck ALL OTHER boxes.  Then when they sign in, the only thing they will see is the timeclock.

What’s Happening At MasterLink

You may be wondering what’s going on.  Fewer updates, no bulletins … 

Actually we are working on MLS 2026.  It is major, and involves use of newer technologies that we now feel are reliable enough to include withing our programs.

We don’t provide details until we are sure a capability is 100% functional, fully tested, and ready for prime time.  However, it is important to note many of these capabilities have been on user request / inquiry lists.  The whole purpose of this upgrade is to enable our clients to more effectively use the equipment they have, provide more flexibility within the program, and even automate some processes to a higher degree.

This process involves a complete review of every single section, included in thousands of lines of code.  And it won’t be released until we have complete confidence that every single function is reliable, any changes are an improvement, and we are confident with any resources they might access.

Here are two things to keep in mind:

1). This upgrade DOES NOT require us to do a new install, or connect to your computer.  It will just slide into place and start when you click on your MLS12 desktop shortcut.  ( You can rename the shortcut to MLS 2026 if you wish once that occurs ).

2). This major upgrade will be provided to you at absolutely no extra cost.

In upcoming bulletins we will be describing some of the changes when we are fully confident they are ready to release.  We think you will be happy.
