What's New in 1.2…
July Community Connect Release
...
released July 26th, 2022
Online Sales
For roster classes that allow single visits, the number of openings are now shown for each activity in the single visit list.
When showing available openings for classes, the number or openings will no longer show a negative number. If oversold, the number of openings will show “0 Openings”.
Added the ability for customers with autopay to be able to turn off their autopay online.
This feature was made available at USW on July 5th, but is now available for centers in all territories.
This feature is turned off by default for all centers except those at USW.
Any center can turn this feature on or off using the new CustomerTurnOffAutopay setting in Kroc Admin.
Keep in mind that this feature is required in the state of California.
Reports
Modified the Health Partners Enrollment Report to allow the user to enter a custom date range. (USE ONLY)
Modified the Invoice Report to allow the user to limit the number of customers in the drop down to those with open events within a specified date range. The date range can be edited, and closed events can also be optionally included.
Added a new Autopay status history report that shows a list of any members whose autopay has been turned on or off (or has been suspended or unsuspended) within a specified period of time.
This report was made available at USW on July 5th, but is now available for centers in all territories.
For those centers who have turned on the new feature that allows customers to turn off their autopay online, you can optionally filter the report to just those customers who did it online in order to help identify members with whom they may want to follow up.
Community Connect Mobile
Corrected an issue in the mobile customer transactions screen where the “No payment methods on file” message was showing when there was no credit card on file, even though there were other payment methods, such as ACH and/or scholarships, present.
Community Connect Pilot Kiosk - NEW APP!
The ability to print a customer barcode from the customer screen is back! A button has been added to the customer header which prints the customer barcode to the receipt printer.
Fixed an issue where customer barcodes could randomly fail to scan in the customer search screen under certain conditions.
When selling activities, a customer with Do Not Allow Entry set can no longer purchase a class.
All data fields in the customer health screen are now properly disabled when a user does not have access to edit health information.
The Modify button in the customer autopay screen is now disabled for users who don’t have permission to edit autopay data. Prior to this change, users without this permission could click the button, but would get an error message.
The Change Plan button in the customer membership dialog is now disabled if a customer’s plan is expired.
Users are now prompted to save changes if they click any button that would cause them to leave the customer screen while there are unsaved changes. In previous versions, there were certain scenarios where the prompt would not show, so it was unclear why you couldn’t leave the screen.
The Edit button on the customer photo dialog is no longer available when there is no camera is available. Prior to this change, users could click the button, but would get an error message when no camera was present.
Fixed an issue where the Reprint button in the cart (for reprinting receipts) was only allowing a single reprint.
The Reprint button in the cart is now disabled when there is no printer installed in order to make it clear that you cannot reprint a receipt. Prior to this change, users could click the button, but nothing would print.
When renewing a membership plan from the customer screen, a message stating that the plan was no longer offered was sometimes showing when the actual problem was that the customer’s plan was just expired and not able to be renewed. This message text has been corrected to show the appropriate message in each of those two scenarios.
An issue adding tags was corrected in the customer search and edit screens. If a tag is selected and then unselected, it correctly shows in the drop down so that you can select it again without exiting the screen.
An issue in the customer tag control where using arrow keys to scroll through the list of tags would actually add each selected tag to the list. You can now arrow through the list, and the tag is not selected unless you click it or hit ENTER.
The “Tag Search” text is now properly removed when you click in the tag control and type a tag name.
The arrow for the tag drop down is no longer partially cut off.
Changed labels in the Membership Information dialog to “Start” and “End”. They were previously “Started” and “:Ended”, which implied that they were in the past.
Cleaned up size and spacing of icons in the customer header to more easily differentiate between clickable buttons and other data icons.

Starting a new register session now automatically opens the cash drawer.
The cash drawer now opens automatically on $0 sales if those sales include punch cards, coupons, or scholarships.

Purchase history now restricts results to the last 365 days, rather than the last 90 days.
Coupons now show as expired on the day after the expiration date, rather than on the expiration date itself.

Fixed an issue where reloading an existing gift card was sometimes incorrectly showing the screen for selling a new gift card.
Fixed an issue where the “Combinable” and “1 item per sale” labels on coupons were sometimes not accurate.
Fixed an issue with the display of the Punch Card discount that could show an incorrect amount under very rare circumstances
Fixed an issue with Event refunds where the amount available to refund to cash was not calculated correctly under certain circumstances.

Updated all checkboxes in Online Sales so they can be easily clicked by users on a mobile device.
Updated the “feedback” form at the bottom of the site.
The feedback form has completely changed. Previously, the user had text boxes to fill out, and then it would send the feedback to the center making the ‘from’ email field the user’s email address. Since this is a form of spoofing, it has been completely removed the feedback form.
The “Have Questions” section at the bottom of Online Sales has changed so the user just needs to click the phone number to dial the number. Additionally, to send an email, there is a single button that opens the user’s email and fills in the “Send To” address for them. The customer will be sending feedback from their own email instead of Online Sales sending emails from the given address on its own.
Updated the class search results so they are grouped by class instance.
If the class instance type is a Drop In or allows a Single Visit, then the system will show which individual activities are available for purchase (up to eight) with the option to see all upcoming instances.
If it is a Roster Class type then the system will display the class schedule.
If one instance has multiple activities available for purchase the user can drill into each one.

If an activity has multiple venues, there will be a “Multiple” listed as the location.
