ShopifyPOS Updates
ShopifyPOS requires updates. Please email support@bigbusiness.com with questions.
Company Checkboxes
Company Checkboxes found on the Company card, Advanced tabs, have gone rogue. Please ignore the bar or letter and click a Checkbox, or [i] Info Button without worry.
Here each box should have a Label, [i] Info Button, Checkbox, and sometimes a Field. Instead Checkboxes have decided to show the first letter of their Title or maybe a bar.
They still work perfectly but are just now getting cleaned up so there is no confusion. When this is done the Checkbox will show in a blank box and as needed with a field.
Forms Errors
Forms Errors include small annoyances that are being whittled away, but some persist.
New Forms are being added and load themselves when you click New. However, they do not show up immediately. You must close and re-open the Forms tool to see them.
CreatePrefs Error
CreatePrefs Error on starting BigBusiness Server indicates that the Data File is locked.
This problem occurs spontaneously in some Builds that test Default Data File startup.
WooCommerce Fixes
WooCommerce Connect get fixes and features in BigBusiness 15, like Update Pricing.
Spell Inverted
Spell Check works in Dark Mode on Mac and inverts selected text but does not invert de-selected. This seems like a bug in the database, which is too minor to get attention.
Sequoia Crash
Pictured is a Sequoia Crash for future reference. This was self-inflicted by support@bigbusiness.com accidentally running Big Business Server 14 on new macOS.
In this case the crash occured on startup for Auto-Create making the system unusable. Verifying and Repairing did not help. Upgrading to BigBusiness 15 Server did work.
Office Error
Office Error refers to the pictured fail to Email using Microsoft Outlook for Windows.
This problem is fixed by BigBusiness 15. It occurs in earlier versions where Office is updating itself and coincident with advent of Copilot which is the Microsoft AI tool.
Please contact support@bigbusiness.com if you have an earlier version and see this.
Dark Mode
BigBusiness 15 updates Dark Mode, with an new Database that adapts to your Macs.
Dark Mode for Windows is not supported but appearances for some items is updated. Display on Windows is updated by support for High DPI, high resolution graphics.
BigBusiness 15 Server for macOS is updated to display more legibly in Dark Mode. Server for Mac allowed type to invert. Now it displays the same in Dark or Light.
Dialog Buttons
Dialog Buttons are larger to have more space for names and icons and rounded corners.
Rounded corners are more rounded in newer systems and system objects like buttons. Larger buttons are needed to fit the names and icons that fit into previous buttons.
Spell Buttons
Spell Buttons are a relic and waiting for you to opt out by choosing new Spell Check.
Note Attachments
Note Attachments lost their click and double-click responses during a Database change.
Upgrade Error
Using Upgrade in the Company card used to give an error for an unregistered Data File. This is fixed in Big Business 14.178 and BigBusiness 15.046 to meet more strict errors.
Sequoia Mail
Please allow BigBusiness 15 permission in macOS Sequoia to control your Mail app. BigBusiness lets you drag a selected email to the Docs folder on a transaction to save.
This only works if you click to highlight a message, first. Then, drag it to BigBusiness. In turn, BigBusiness asks Mail to export the selected message so it can be attached.
In addition to the pictured dialog, you can go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, Automation, and for BigBusiness 15 Client allow it to control Mail.
Date Format
Windows offers a date format like 05-Apr-17, which BigBusiness does not understand.
The immediate problem is a runtime error in the method "SetDateIndexes" at Line # 13. This is method is trying to sort out which "number" is the month, the day, or the year.
That is now fixed and we will next see how this format possibly allows real date entry. Next.
Item History Qty
Item History shows Qty for transactions and for while has not shown fractional qty's.
On the Company card, Number Format, you can set rounding and display of decimals. Recently, the Qty column on the History tab of the Item card stopped showing them.
BigBusiness 15.037 and 14.171 fix the Qty column to show decimals as you have set.
MySQL Update
BigBusiness 15 copies data to MySQL to safely and easily share to shipping systems.
This requires clean data and BigBusiness 15.037 and 14.171 fix one pitfall for percents.
Sequoia Windows
BigBusiness 15 is updated for Sequoia but does not automatically handle Tile resizing.
If you drag a window to the top of the screen it may resize or get stuck under Toolbar.
Type the ESC key to escape and resize to normal. In System Settings, Desktop & Dock are Tile options like Drag Windows To Screen Edge To Tile you could turn Off.
