    - MYOB Synchronisation for Contacts.  This release specifically for MYOB V19.7. Watch this space for more integration enhancements replacing manual exports with automated synchronisation

    Myob Contact Synchronisation:

    Each time user processes an invoice, customer will  automatically sync to destination MYOB.

    Pre-requisites of setting up auto contact sync:

        Card ID in MYOB is used by import function as matching key between jobtrack and MYOB.

        Sync process works in the same way, using this field as matching key, so please don't add

        or change this field in MYOB.

        If this is the first time using Jobtrack import and sync function, please clear up this field for

        all existing card records.

     

    Manual of setup sync:

      -     Auto completer field can now list contacts which have titles

    We've had great feedback from users on the auto completer feature especially for name field, such as Customer, as it cuts down the number of times a duplicate record may be accidentally created and also reduces the need to go to a full search screen to locate and select the existing contact or business name.

    There was a problem reported when the contact name had a title such as 'Mr', the auto completer would not return this name. This problem has been fixed! See below the screen shot shows contacts with titles in the list of matching names.

    How it works:

    The auto completer feature now works the same as keyword search so that it will return any record which contains a word starting with the data entered. For example by typing the word  "Leck" in the Customer field the auto completer will correctly returned any contact with Leck in the name including "Mr Nigel Leck".
