General Update - 10 November

An easier way to change a project's client - Update

You can now reassign a project to another client (and change the 'Primary Client' in the project's 'People' sub-tab) by changing the 'Project Client' in the Project Overview's Project Details.

1. From the Projects Overview sub-tab, click on the Project Details 'Edit' button.
2. Go to the 'Project Client' drop-down, select the new client to reassign the project to, and click Save

Note: There are two instances in which the 'Project Client' dropdown will be 'locked out' for changing - the fix for these are detailed in this RAVE Help article.

Expected new lead close date customisation - Update

• Previously, we set the default expected ‘WON’ closed date on a build to 6 months, but this can now be customised for the Clients who want to set up a custom expected close date for their business. A new setting has been added under Branch Settings / Client Settings / Expected close date.  Based on this setting, when new leads are added, the default expected close date is set to 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

Sub Opportunity column added to lost clients report - Update

Increase the field size for Purchase Order delivery phone number details – Rave Financial Fix
