FrontLine now prompts you for confirmation when you save a Scheduler Event with a Start time of midnight. This usually occurs when you create a Scheduler Event from an order, and do not assign a time.
When a Payment is added to a Customer Order, the Payment Line Item is assigned the Location of the AR Order. Now FrontLine also assigns that AR Order Location to the Payment Order Location if the Payment Order Location was not already set.
There is a new option to assign taxes manually per line item:
- To use this feature, in Company Settings, find the Built In Tax Options Company Setting and select to Assign Customer Order Tax GeoCodes Manually, per Line Item.
- To assign tax codes to line items, you must have security in Customer Orders for the new context for Line Tax GeoCode.
- When you add lines to customer orders, they do not contain tax, and the yellow exclamation mark in the Line # column indicates tax codes have not been defined. When taxes are not defined, forms cannot be printed and orders cannot be invoiced.
- You assign tax codes in a new field of Line Details that appears when the company setting to manually assign line tax codes is selected. Open the Line Details, and select the drop down list for Tax Geo Code to select from your list of tax codes. This list contains the codes from the State and Country of the order ship-to address, or bill-to address for a Point of Sale order. You can type leading text of a GeoCode or its description to find a match.
- Use the Next and Previous buttons at the top of the Line Item Details window to toggle through all the lines on your order while assigning Tax Codes.
- Note: Payment line items do not require a Tax GeoCode.
Template notes are now accessed from a Template button in the Notes window.
There is now a Company Setting for Default Activity Reminder:
- In Company settings, find the Default Activity Reminder, and click the ellipses in the Value column to reveal the list of reminder times. Select one or multiple default reminders. Those on the left are times before the activity, and those on the right are times after the activity.
- Once these are selected, new activities you create will be assigned these reminder times by default. These default reminders are displayed at the bottom left of the new activity. Click the reminder text or key F6 to edit reminder times on that activity. You must set a Due Date to use reminders, and if you set no time, the time defaults to noon (12 pm). Note: the agent assigned to the activity must have an email address in their Agent file for this feature to send them an email reminder.
- When entering Activities, you may now assign a time. If you do not assign a time, noon time (12 pm) is automatically assigned. This means that reminders for one or more days prior will be sent to the agent at noon.
- To use this feature, you must have sending email set up in BaseLink. Contact [email protected] for assistance with setups.
- Note: Please do not set the Scheduler Event Reminder, Customer Order Reminder, and Customer Invoice Reminder that have been added to Company Settings. These have been created for future development to send reminders to your customers, and are not yet in use.

This new feature allows you to create and assign Activities, and mark them as completed when they have been done. You can look up a list of your activities for the week, for example, and see a list that is color coded by due date. Green is today’s activities, and activities become more orange the more past due they are and more blue the farther into the future they are. Once marked as complete, the activity has a completed date, and the color is changed to white.
