Start Scheduler Automatically
New switch in the Scheduler Settings enables you to start the Scheduler as soon as you sign in as a Scheduler Operator. Please refer to Help topic, Scheduler Settings for details.

Schedule Promise Events
Three new fields were added to the Contact Plan Event record for automatic scheduling of Promise events. These fields enable you to automatically fill in a Promise amount when creating a Promise through a contact plan. You can specify the Amount of the Promise as a percent of Owing or Settlement. These fields are hidden if the contact event type is not Promise. Please refer to Help topic, Event for details.

Don't Convert Case on Name Entry
This new switch in the "Screen and Messages" form enables you to control name formatting in the Debtor's Contact field. Default behavior (unchecked) will lower case the string and then upper case capitals. With the switch set, the name will be capitalized exactly as you typed it when it is transposed into the Contact field during data entry. For example, "VanAllen, James" by default transposes as "James Vanallen." With switch set, it tranposes as "James VanAllen." Please refer to Help topic, Screen and Messages for details.
