Invoicing/ Billing Module   

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where in some cases deleting a document line on invoices, quotes or job-cards, did not update the total amount of the document.
  • Fixed issue where an apostrophe in a label name prevented pages (using the label) from loading.
  • Fixed intermittent issue where Sub Accounts belonging to a Master Account (where the Bill All to Master option was disabled), were not being invoiced.

Improvements

  • Improved the Billing setting to enable/disable downloading the Old Sage Pay Direct Debit Batch format. When enabled, the user will receive validation if the setup fields are not all filled in. It is important to note that the setting has been renamed to Sage Pay Download Old Debit Batch Format. The user will find the setting under Billing > Billing Setup > Billing Setup. See screenshot below.

  • Improved the Overwrite Recurring Billing CSV file generation and import to be more secure. Read the full guide here on how to use the functionality.
  • Improved the function that imports customers from SageOne into HeroTill, to prevent potential loss of data after the sync.

System  

Improvements

  • Improved the FTP backup settings to allow for use of the external third party LFTP library. When the user navigates to Setup >  System Settings > System Backups > under the FTP Settings | FTP Method, the user will now see the option “LFTP (Linux lftp client)” as an available option to choose from. All mandatory fields below this option must be filled in correctly, to ensure successful backups.

 

Data (Radius)  

Improvements

  • Added Validation to ensure that radius usernames do not include invalid Characters (‘ ; ” $ & % *).
  • Improved Usage page to indicate which prepaid totals are being displayed. I.E. the current month only or active bundle period.

  • Added CPE IP addresses to radius user accounts and widget.The new CPE IP address field is only used to record the client radio’s IP, where the PPP is done behind the radio on a router inside the client’s networkValidation is done to ensure a valid IP address is entered. A warning is displayed if the same IP has already been recorded on another data account.

  

  • Added the ability to select a fixed IP from highsite list.

Radius accounts can now be allocated to a fixed IP address, either by entering the value in the field provided or by selecting an IP address from the list of                      available IP’s defined for a particular network device.

This is similar to the way IP addresses are allocated to IP Accounting based data accounts. Validation is done to ensure a valid IP address is entered.  A                          warning will show if the same IP has already been used on another data account.

  • Added Search by Date function on the “All Closed Radius Sessions” page.

  • Added “MAC address” column to the “All Closed Radius Sessions” table.

Devices  

Improvements

  • Added Validation setup menu for Device Monitoring on the LibreNMS Monitoring Setup fields.
  • Improved Mikrotik backups to auto detect the FTP service port value on the mikrotik router. This will value will be when making an FTP connection to the router.
  • Added a tab on the network devices. This flag will indicate whether that router should be used for voltage monitoring and determine the offset value to be used. Please read the full blog here.

Performance  

Improvements

  • Improved SQL code to optimise general system performance.

Helpdesk  

Improvements

  • Improved the “Recent Changes” section that displays on helpdesk notifications.

When mentioning (tagging using the @ symbol) an admin user, following a ticket or when a ticket is escalated then an update notification is generated. These              notifications contain a section called Recent Changes. The 5 most recent changes to the ticket will be listed here.

  • Added the ability to delete your own public and admin only ticket notes.

Admin users can now delete their own admin and public notes made on helpdesk tickets. On public tickets, users can convert notes from public to admin and              vice versa. The user can also undelete (restore) a deleted note and view changes to notes on the audit trail. It is important to note that only the owner of the                  note may convert, delete and undelete their notes.

On Admin tickets, the user cannot convert an admin note to public. However, the note can be deleted, endeleted and changes tracked on the audit trail per note.

  • Improved the logic when a helpdesk notification should be sent for updates on tickets being followed.
  • Added the ability to set custom text only signatures (for admin users) on helpdesk ticket replies. Note, this is auto inserted into the note section when responding on a ticket.

The admin user needs to navigate to the My Account section and click on the icon to launch the Application Settings.

Once the page loads, under the Application Settings section the user can enable the Helpdesk Customer Reply Signature. Once enabled, the user can enter the              text only signature.

 

This will auto insert on every ticket note (public and admin), which the user can edit before sumbitting the note.

  • Fixed intermittent issue where the helpdesk ticket list did not display for certain admin users.

  • Added “Current Billing Period” display header to the HeroTill menu. The user must have the Accounting Adjustment modify permission enabled.
  • Improved the Recurring Billing Entries default filter on page load. It will now show Enabled records only and not All records.
