Your Maxxton Software experience is improving as we work to squash bugs and release new features. Here's an account of the improvements you'll find in the latest releases.

Back Office Manager

What's Improved

  • Ability to view the history of changes made for Password security configuration

    A new History panel has been added to the Back Office Manager > Password Security page. This improvement enables you to easily track changes to the password security policy, including who made the changes and when they were made.


Customer Care

What's New

  • Add Web chat of a customer.

    Employees can manually enter notes related to webchat interactions on Customer Overview Page. This interface includes fields for entering the note content, as well as inbox, location, case and category of the note. The idea of this, is that it will be a manual note of the webchat that is not integrated and make that visible in the timeline.

  • Add chat_note filter on the timeline.

    Introduce a new filter option labelled "Chat note" under Type filter on the customer timeline interface.When the "Chat note" option in Type filter is selected, the timeline should display only those entries that are categorized as chat notes. This filtering process helps users focus specifically on chat-related interactions, minimizing clutter and streamlining the user experience.

  • Add customer title field in the configure column.

    Within the configure column menu, users will be able to select the "Customer Title" field from a list of available fields to be displayed.By adding the "Customer Title" field to the configure column, users can customize their view of customer data to include important information such as titles while viewing customer data on customer search page.

  • Avoid linking duplicate accommodation types in a redemption resource.

    Preventing duplicate accommodation types from being linked to a redemption resource. It will avoid showing duplicates and to make sure that the flow stays easy to use. An important reason for this is that these loyalty resources are expected to have many added accommodation types, making it harder to know as a user what is already added if this is not filtered.

  • Reward rules - create flow - Overlap indication.

    Implement logic to detect potential overlaps between reward rules. This involves checking if the conditions of a new rule conflict with existing rules.While creating reward rules with an indication for overlap will help users avoid conflicts and ensure the integrity of the Loyalty reward rule

  • Add search filters on the loyalty transaction table.

    Adding search filters to the loyalty transaction table, users can quickly and easily find specific transactions based on their criteria. In the loyalty transaction table users will be able to search transaction type, transaction date, valid from date expiration date and number of points.

  • Once per night reward strategy in Loyalty program

    Once per night reward strategy typically refers to a system in a loyalty program where customer is eligible to receive a reward only once per night when there are overlapping reservations for same date.


Content Manager

What's Improved

  • New column for Add-on rate export "Internal remark"

    With the Add-on rate export, you can now also export the column "Internal remark" to check if there are any remarks added for the Add-on rates you are exporting. This column can be used to add internal comments/remarks while configuring the Add-on rate to store any relevant internal information related to the rate.

  • More advanced filters available for the Infotext list

    To provide you with the flexibility of filtering the list of Infotexts with various conditions, we have added more filters on the Infotext list page like "Arrival from", "Arrival to", "Departure from", "Departure to" and "Reservation from", "Reservation to". This will allow you to simultaneously apply one or more filters to find exactly the infotexts you are looking for!
