Archived Pictures
Archived Pictures are a separate database file to store files and allow unlimited growth.
Chapter 62 Retired
Retired features are hidden or removed. Often they are replaced by newer better ways.
For example, new, fast reports are replacing existing reports that are slow and limited. In accounting, though, consistency is desirable and the old report is kept, just in case.
If you like an old feature, turning on Unlock Retired in your Employee card Access tab may restore the missing feature for you. Otherwise, ask support@bigbusiness.com.
Retired Keep Printouts
Keep Printouts was a customization that was not completed and has been canceled.
Refresh Originals
Refresh Originals gets uploaded Documents or Pictures out of Offload storage for you.
If you drag a full quality picture into the Thumb Image on an Item card, BigBusiness creates a high-quality thumbnail for display and printing and puts the original in Docs.
Offload keeps the original in secondary storage. Refresh brings it back when you need.
BizApp Plugin
BizApp Plugin is updated for new versions of BigBusiness and backwards compatible with earlier versions of BizApp for iPhone and iPad running on new devices and iOS.
BizApp 11
BizApp 11 is updated to load Bundles when used for onsite invoicing. Bundles are non-inventoried items that are sold and have their Components automatically added.
Offload Controls
Offload Controls let you choose settings for offloading your Documents and Pictures.
Chapter 442 Offload
Offlead lets you clean up Documents and Pictures, putting them in secondary storage.
Multilevel Build
Multilevel Build is a custom function to automate multilevel builds to ensure accuracy.
Subassemblies help simplify your builds by creating built components you can add in. Mass producing subassemblies lets you use Auto-Build when invoicing special builds.
When subassemblies are not pre-built you need to enter Builds for subassemblies, then special builds that use subassemblies. Multilevel Build does this for you in one Build.
Offload Pictures
Offload Pictures helps you keep all your Pictures added in the Upload tool accessible.
If you are tempted to delete or replace pictures, Offload lets you keep all the originals. Turn on Offload to automatically keep all originals, then make changes for daily usage.
Use Fast Images to create optimized versions of Pictures and Offload to keep originals.
Retired Enable Windows Images
Enable Windows Images was a guardrail preventing unplanned use in Remote Desktop.
This prevention is no longer needed, and Fast Images are now optimized for RDS use.
Fast Images Remote Desktop
Fast Images is optimized for Remote Desktop usage, sharing resources on RDS Server.
Retired Auto-Invoice
Auto-Invoice was added to Orders to convert orders to invoices when shipping posts.
Auto-Invoice is a customization that is deferred, so its checkbox is being removed now.
Pictured, the Auto-Invoice is checked and yet the Status is still Shipped which is a fail.
Retired Order Modify
Order Modify was a customization using Order Number to modify an existing order.
Order Modify is removed to avoid unwitting collisions between series that can occur.
Web Server TLS
Web Server TLS options let you allow older versions to support your older iPads.
BizApp for iPad can continue working with your older iPads that no longer update.
Click Allow TLS 1.2 to allow your older iPads to connect and solve their SSL Errors.
Pictures Forms
Pictures Forms are Custom Forms templates for Quotes, PO's, Invoices with Images.
Images are right-sized copies of pictures for high-speed, high-quality uses like printing. Big Business automatically creates and stores images for fast access in every situation.
To print, go to Reporting, Forms, New and choose a template like Quote with Images. Click the close button and name and save your form and it is ready to print a Quote.
Images Transform
Images Transform automatically resizes too-small pictures for showing on Item card.
Format Qty
Format Qty lets you set the display of Qty on-screen and on printouts for accuracy.
For example, you might want whole numbers without decimal places you do not need. OTOH, you might sell items priced per 1000 and need three decimals to always show.
In the Company card in the Format tool you can choose Display Format for Quantity. There a number sign is an optional character (##,###,##0.##) and a zero always shows.
Retired Intervention
Intervention was added to Orders to diasable automatic actions but deemed excessive.
Intervention let a shipping clerk flag a partial shipment to halt automatic processing. Instead, Freight Manual is added to stop Auto-Charge replacement of Other Charges.
Second Companies
Second Companies are started often enough to merit their own Build of Big Business.
Big Business 15-2, for example, is a second Build of Big Business 15 that handles all needs for a second company running on the same computers without conflict.
Then all that's needed is to change the Icon Prefs for one so it is easy to distinguish. Users can connect to both at the same time on the same computer and tell them apart.
