New features and bug fixes

Maxxton Software - Release v2024.27.0

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.

This release is now available on production at 3 July.

Customer Care

What's Improved

  • Loyalty programs in the sections

    The organization of loyalty programs into three distinct sections—Active, Upcoming, and Expired—ensures a clear and structured view of the programs' statuses. This setup also helps administrators in planning and executing loyalty programs efficiently.

  • Search filters on the Customer search page

    The issue of search filters overlapping on the Customer search page in both Customer Care and Reservation Manager has been resolved. The fix ensures that the search filters display correctly and do not overlap at various browser zoom levels, specifically at 90%, 100%, and 110%.

  • Configure column for rentability rules in Redemption configuration

    Users can successfully configure columns and change the order of columns in the rentability rules.

  • Correct message is shown after update of customer settings

    More specific message like "updated customer settings successfully" when adding or editing the financial preferences or setting of a customer.


Content Manager

What's Improved

  • History of changes for location maps

    Would you like to know the details of changes in location maps and pins? We have now added an improvement to record all media uploads related to location map media. You can now track and review changes to the location map image, pins, uploads via URL, adding or removing location unit pins, and removing the location map within the History section of the Location.

What's Fixed

  • Cloning add-ons - Settings like Rate types and linked channels not cloned when cloning in the same location

    We observed that a few settings like distribution channels selection and rate types were not getting properly cloned when the add-on was being cloned within the same location. We have now fixed the bug, and it is now possible to clone these settings when cloning the add-on within the same location.


Finance Manager

What's Improved

  • Major enhancements to Transactions and Unassigned Payments overviews

    We are thrilled to announce one of the largest revamps of the transactions and unassigned payments overviews in our system's history. This update focuses on improving clarity and usability based on extensive user feedback and detailed analysis by our design team.

    Key Enhancements:

    • Streamlined Color Usage: We've significantly reduced the variety of colors previously used on the screen, opting instead for a more refined palette that still delivers critical information effectively. This change not only enhances the visual appeal but also aids in quicker comprehension of different statuses.
    • Enhanced Display of Reservation Status: The reservation status is now prominently displayed, allowing users to quickly assess the booking details directly from the overview screens.
    • User-Centric Design: Our design team, equipped with insights from multiple client discussions and user cases, crafted these improvements to ensure the overviews are more intuitive and information-rich.

    Benefits:

    • Improved User Experience: With cleaner interfaces and less clutter, users can navigate and interpret crucial information more swiftly.
    • Increased Efficiency: Faster loading times and better-organized data allow users to manage payments and transactions more effectively, reducing operational delays.
  • Comprehensive redesign of Transaction page

    We're excited to unveil a significant overhaul of our transaction page, transitioning from a side drawer to a dedicated full page. This transformation is the culmination of extensive user feedback, numerous client discussions, and iterative design enhancements focused on optimizing efficiency and usability.

    Key Enhancements:

    • New Dedicated Page for Transactions: The former side drawer, initially designed as an info drawer and gradually adapted to edit functionalities, has been expanded into a full page. This change addresses the need for a more robust and focused environment for transaction processing.
    • Enhanced Information Display: The new layout provides more information on-screen, making it easier for users to review and manage transactions without frequent navigation away from the page.
    • Improved Pagination and Navigation: Pagination has been refined to allow for smoother transitions between transactions, reducing time spent loading and scrolling.
    • Advanced Message Box: A newly designed message box now clearly displays reasons why a transaction may not validate, enabling users to quickly identify and resolve issues from a single view.

    Benefits:

    • Streamlined User Experience: By providing a more intuitive and less cluttered interface, users can handle transactions more efficiently.
    • Increased Productivity: The focused environment minimizes distractions and maximizes efficiency, enabling users to concentrate on the essential task of managing transactions effectively. With this release, one of our most extensive revamps to date, we aim to significantly enhance the usability and performance of managing unassigned payments and transactions, reaffirming our commitment to delivering top-tier financial management tools.

Operations Manager

What's New

  • Possibility to configure and manage the material supplier

    As part of the Newyse closure plan, we want to introduce the Material Supplier module in this release. With this, users can easily configure and manage material suppliers/vendors directly within the operations manager. Here are the key features available in the module:

    • Adding vendor information: Possibility to add information associated with the vendor/material supplier.
    • Location linking: Link all applicable locations to which this vendor provides services and/or can be selected as a work order resolver.

Owner Manager

What's New

  • New compliance feature in Owner Manager: Tax Number (TIN) Issuing Country

    To enhance compliance with DAC7 legislation, we have introduced a new field in the Owner Manager module. This update involves the addition of a Tax Number (TIN) Issuing Country selection, which is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements when having companies as owners.


Rate Manager

What's New

  • Revenue Manager - New Period Selection for Monitors

    We have introduced a new period selection for the monitors Adj. Occupancy lagged and Adj. Occupancy ahead: Per stay date for a selected period. This feature compares two periods per stay date, with both periods restricted to the same length. Previously, users created a monitor per week to achieve this comparison indirectly. With this new feature, it can be done in one go, significantly reducing configuration and maintenance efforts.

What's Improved

  • Revenue Manager - Adjusted Metrics

    We have renamed the Occupancy metric to Adj. Occupancy and the RevPAR metric to Adj. RevPAR. "Adj." stands for adjusted, indicating that these metrics account for available units and locks. In upcoming sprints, we will be adding the Occupancy and RevPAR metrics that does not account for locks.
