NEW FEATURE: MLS 12

How would you like to have the ability to format your tag lines ?

In the image you see here, the disclaimer text is displayed in a different font, and color.  There is bold, and underline, plus you can align text, and even change the text size.  All of this may be familiar if you use Word, or other word processing capabilities.

In the very next update of Auto Shop Writer 12, all of your added text to workorders ( invoices, estimates, worksheets ) will have the ability to add in this editing capability.  Your existing text will display, you can make the changes, and from then on all of your printouts will be just like this.  Yes, it is in your printed copies, your on screen previews, and even in the PDF’s you send to your clients.

At this point we are starting with using this for your add on text ( found in Tools -> Setup -> Text ), but of course the possibilities exist for applying RTF ( Rich Text Formatting ) more broadly in ASW.

If you haven’t upgraded to Version 12, why are you waiting ?

+ If you are a DPP, or Rental, client, it costs you nothing.  It is a huge, but FREE, upgrade

+ There is no learning curve.  As we activate each workstation, staff goes right back to work, and never needs to call for help, or relearn anything.

+ The updater is now a “service” and incredibly stable, even on dedicated Windows Server installs

Please call and set an appointment to get installed right away.

CAUTION URGED

Thieves abound and they will try everything to trick you. We even have seen emails supposedly coming from MasterLink Software containing phony invoices. Please note the following:

1). The ONLY time you will receive an email from MasterLink Software will be to answer your specific request on a technical matter. If it looks at all suspicious, call to be sure we sent it.

2). All invoices are mailed to you using the same format that you’ve seen for years. We bill DPP subscription fees on the 15th of the month prior to the start of a new quarter. You will NOT be billed for any other fees and the amount has not changed.

3). Our mailing address is PO Box 740, Trabuco Canyon, CA 92678. Any other correspondence is not from us and may be an effort to defraud you.

We have not found a need to issue warnings like this in the past, but these are times when criminals thrive using online and mail solicitations. If you have any suspicion, then reach out to us directly by phone.
