To keep HireTrack NX at the forefront of rental management software we are constantly monitoring how the production industry is changing and listening to our customers about how their businesses adapt. We regularly update our software to respond to these industry developments by adding new features and enhancements. The rest of this page is generated automatically from our development schedule, and as such publishes all the significant improvements to HireTrack NX since its release.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.271.1 - Coming soon
Configuration Book - Crew Tasks. Option to specify a Task Type that flags up availability rather than blocking out availability [5,288]
Meetings, Holidays and Single Day Unavailability reduce the availability when selecting people in the Enhanced Crewing Personnel & Bookings form. Nut if the Crew Task is of type "Mark Available" then when creating a task in the Crew Planner you can see that Person X is available all week without impacting the availability in the Bookings form
Configuration Book - Users. "Is Crew" option allows a HireTrack User to be linked to a Crew person in the Address Book [5,277]
Allows options like Dashboard QBE's to be written that show the current crewing work for the logged in user
Diary Reminders - hyperlink added to "Master Ref" column allows user to open the Job or Project or CRM directly [5,227]
e-Invoicing - the ZUGFeRD EN 16931 XML standard is now implemented, complying with EU directive 2014/55/EU [5,259]
For full details see https://navigator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/25114265059997-e-Invoicing
Equipment Lists - option to copy selected lines on a list to be pasted into an Inventory Book Alias definition [5,270]
If you want to recreate a core list of equipment that you regularly put together for particular events you might want to create an Alias for this in the Inventory Book. This can be tedious to key in if there is lots of kit, so for the 271.1 release of HireTrack NX we have introduced the option of being able to copy selected lines on an Equipment List and then paste this into an Alias.
Inventory Book - Stock Management, Stocklevels page. Selected warehouse now defaults to logged in warehouse for user [5,295]
Job Narratives - Mulitple narratives, categorised by "Area" and linked to Job Types now supported [5,171]
Job Narratives and the templates that users can choose from can now configured to support specific "areas" of a job, and each "area" is represented by it's own sub-page on the Narratives tab. This allows you to nuance your reports to have specific "areas" appear at particular points in the output.
For more information see https://navigator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22545510334237-Job-Narratives-enhancements-v271
Job Searching - if searching with a single text chunk require the user to have entered at least 3 characters [4,594]
Job Searching - wireless devices with poor latency will experience poor load times for the grid if Hide archived jobs on [5,271]
Late Extension lists - Where composites have been partially returned only add their components to the extension [5,080]
Logistic Book - New advanced filters panel added for all the Rentals and Sales tab equipment list forms (e.g. Global Orders) [5,239]
Allows users to filter lists by:
- Period
- Ref
- Created By
- Min Status
- Equipment Type
- Warehouse (e.g. From and To for Loans
- Supplier (for subhires)
- Warehouse stage (e.g. Arrived, for Global Subhires or Goods In for Sales Orders)
- Status of the Warehouse stage, (e.g. Not Started or In Progress)
Operation Notes - Zero Quantity record deletes on closing. Reduce the scope of implicit exlcusive transaction locks [5,256]
Operations Notes - Updating traffic lights when deactivating/closing and refreshing parent form in much more efficient [5,257]
Running over WIFI - areas of the programme that use database Transactions should now run significantly faster [5,291]
Users should see particular benefits in Global Returns, but many other places too.
Smooth Scrolling in Grids - all grids with nested levels, e.g. equipment list now use a single scrollbar to navigate through [5,276]
So rather than an outer scrollbar for scrolling sections and an inner scrollbar for scrolling within a Section, there is just one scrollbar to handle everything. This scrolling mode is known as "Smooth Scrolling".
For users who was to continue to use "Classic Scrolling" (nested scrollbars), go to My HireTrack and tick the "Use Classic Scrollbars In Grids" option.
Subhires - In the popup allocator window show the Section title of the equipment lines to subhire against in the upper grid [5,290]
If you have an eqlist with 5 sections, say Main Hall, Breakout1, Breakout2, Breakout3 and Gala Dinner - and you only own 2 dimmers and you want to put them in the Gala Dinner Section and the Main Hall you will be able to target these now in the allocation window
Warehouse Book - Advanced Operations tab. Eqlists view button is now "sticky" for users preferring this view. [5,228]
Warehouse Book - Read Prepped page. Master barcode selector grid shows details of last list and warehouse op [5,249]
Two extra columns and colour coding of green text for where the ready prep Status is complete or the last ops note is a Check In
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270..x - Coming soon
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.39 - Coming soon
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.38 - Coming soon
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.37 - Coming soon
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.36 released on 12 December 2024
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.34 released on 25 November 2024
Global Returns - perform Commission status checks on the Check In stage to warn warehouse staff of potential problems [5,194]
if an item has been returned early, possibly damaged, and then decommissioned or set to be missing from warehouse then users need to be alerted to this.
Can group and sort by job Start Date or Modified date; moreover the details of the job are presented in a clearer, easier to read format
Planner - Scale options recalibrated to start at 2/3 the column width of previous releases of HireTrack NX [5,184]
Allows users to fit many more days on the timeline. Only affects Scale x1 - all scales after that behave as before although they have shifted up 1 in their definitions. So Scale x2 is the equivalent of Scale x1 before etc
Overrides the limitations of the form based file naming that was introduced in 266.
To use use a Calc event like BeforePrint to call the new toolbox procedure SetExportFileName(), passing a string to the method.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.33 released on 31 October 2024
Prep Note - feedback label added to indicate to user if equipment needing prepping not visible as assigned elsewhere [5,165]
if Auto Roadcase Split lines are assigned to a Prep Note currently open (on user's workstation or any other workstation) then these lines will NOT appear on any other Prep Note subsequently opened. This is to ensure that a single user in control of packing a case. This can nonetheless be confusing so a label now feeds this information back, telling them what other Prep Note is processing these lines
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.32 released on 17 October 2024
The Freestyle drag and drop enabling button now also enables the multi-selection of Section headers. This allows the user to click a checkbox within each Section Header to select it. If the Sections are collapsed then the user can do this without the need for much or any scrolling
HireTrack NX version 3.1.270.x released on 1 October 2024
Add New Address Book popup form - now supports Delivery, Accounts and Registered Office details [4,924]
Availability engine tweaks now allows Gantt chart to account for raised available for Rental type caused by Sales Orders [4,938]
Sales Orders with a List Mode set to 'Purchase linked rental equipment (only predicts rental availability)' can fall outside the scope of the Gantt chart date range ( Sales Order receive in Date is in the future but before the Rental list that the user is drilling down on; so it's not possible to see the Sales Orders in the Gantt that are contributing to the availability of the rental type. An option to "Purchase linked rental equipment (only predicts rental availability)" in the Gantt allows the user to see the availability if Sales Order stock level predications are ignored.
Config Book - Feature Groups. Simplify access rights options for areas where ON or OFF only applies [5,066]
Create/Edit/Read Only drop down editors for feature areas where these nuances are not implemented are now changed to standard checkboxes, with the feature either on or off for the specified Feature Group. Less confusing for user and representative of how the program actually works.
Email - Authentication fails if users authenticate against one email address but attempt to send email using a different one. [5,088]
Users have reported that if a job has many Roles (rows on the spreadsheet user interface) then editing or creating just a single shift can take a long time to process. The code logic for this now speeds this up significantly
Enhanced Crew - expose current the Ctrl+A shortcut for selecting all shifts in an Area, Role, Day or Activity with context menu [4,977]
Enhanced Crewing - indicate where scheduled accommodations costs are less than the actual purchased accommodation costs. [5,127]
Enhanced Crewing - Invoice & Order Wizards now have improved sort order options for the Detail records [4,999]
Extra checklist panel offers 4 options (Role, Person, Cost Centre & Position) and allows user to control what to sort by (i.e. what is checked) and in what priority (user can drag to rearrange options). If a sorting priority is selected then the text for the data will be added to the the Detail record, e.g. the Person's name.
Equipment List - Grid Footer now displays how many rows (equipment bookings) are on the list [4,918]
Equipment List - if part of a Virtual Warehouse project the warehouse source can be toggled between VW and real WH [4,993]
User can now use the web-style checkboxes to select multiple records and then click the "Set as Flagged" buttons to quickly update these records. There is also the same facility to remove multiple flagged records
Equipment List - View menu introduced, allow user to toggle how they would like the new style multi-notes column displayed [4,917]
This provides a more intuitive way to select multiple records for various operations, such as copying to the Clipboard, and doesn't require the user to enter "Multi-Select Mode"
Equipment List and Ops Notes - FreeText description background coloured to make them more obvious to user [5,058]
Equipment Lists Availability GANTT chart - option to view Subhires split into the date ranges of equipment lists they service [4,829]
An option to toggle the view of subhires so that instead of, say, 1 long 3 month subhire bar, show it as the multiple lists that it is allocated to, so coloured as a subhire, but with the rental dates, the allocation Qty, and both the subhire and rental refs.
Also, when toggled back to the current view, order the display of the rental lists so that they appear immediately under the subhire that is supplying them.
General Returns - Traffic light indicators added so that users know if a Return / Check In is complete [4,835]
Inventory Book - Audit Page. Option to batch dispose of barcoded items by importing from a text file. [4,949]
So a list of barcodes that are no longer needed can be exported from the Stock Check facility or a QBE etc and then imported for batch disposal.
The disposal process traps any issues and errors with the items and so only those items that can be disposed of will be. A full, user friendly report on any issues found during the analysis and disposal is presented to the user at the end, with more export options. Finally, the entire process can be undone as it it logged with notes and user ID should the wrong list of barcodes be imported or for any other reason
Inventory Book - Changing fields that need to update Sort should execute in background thread [4,027]
Inventory Book - Generics & Similars page. Search combo and grid now indicates the Equipment Class, e.g. Rental, Sales, etc [4,960]
Select column header toggles the checkbox status of each row in the grid
The "Post On Enter" checkbox is sticky and hint now gives tip to user on when it should be checked.
Inventory Book - Items page. Component barcodes grid now shows a total of allocated barcodes [4,968]
Inventory Book - Items page. Delete button for an item is permanently visible to avoid confusing user [4,969]
Inventory Book - Items page. Now possible to change the Barcode Type if accidentally created incorrectly [5,014]
If editing of this type is applicable (e.g. it's NOT a composite) then the user can now freely toggle between Owned, Consigned and Floating and behind the scene the audit trail and all the links back to the Item.nx1 table will created in accordance with the appropriate logic for the Barcode Type, taking into account what it was before and what it has become. A log of the action and the date it occurred is also written to the Item.Notes field, and the Audit Reference also logs the transformation action.
Inventory Book - Stock Manage form with barcode totals redesigned to show more details on commission status, etc [5,075]
Job Book - Finances Page. "Hide Zero Amounts Only Rows" checkbox now "sticky" between sessions [5,039]
Job Book - Grids on the Equipment, Crew (Legacy), Transport and Misc Cost pages save user preference for columns [5,108]
Visibility, position and sorting order now saved if the user changes them. Each grid has a "reset" button for the grid navigation panel to restore the design time defaults
Job Book - Handler, Sales Person and Crew Coordinator. Show NON active users at bottom of drop down in strikethru font [5,013]
Job Book - Rental Page. Jobs that belong to a Virtual Warehouse project gain a Source Warehouse column [4,992]
Jobs - option to "Archive" a job added. Archived jobs, optionally don't appear in the Jobs Search form [4,922]
removes the possibility of users seems similarly referenced or titled jobs when searching or invoking predefined views
Late Returns - Advanced Filtering box permanently visible rather than only after a column filter has been set [5,029]
Allows the user to filter with complex expressions, e.g. Quantity > Barcoded and Barcoded > 0
Late Returns - Return All Skips Barcodes now processes lines the Qty ONLY part of lines that are partially barcoded [5,034]
Locate Job, Projects and CRM Forms - the "New.." button only present menu option if a Book of the matching type is open [4,921]
User no longer presented with a menu to specify if new job etc open in an existing book or new book if they isn't any (Job etc) book open.
Logistics Book - Planning Page - option to include Q+ statuses in the data retrieved for availability added [5,082]
If running in either of these environments HireTrack NX will no longer store its cached lookup table data in memory, but instead will page to disk. This can potentially save hundreds of megabytes of memory usage and if many users are running on an application server then the saving can run to gigabytes. The small overhead in using a page file is vastly outweighed by the gains in overall performance across the system and reduces the need to purchase extra memory to cope with busy periods. If any significant unanticipated performance reduction is experienced this option can turned off by System Admins via the Help & Support page.
Operations Note - add Select column to On This Note tab so that multiple records can be unprocessed from Clear button [4,979]
Operations Note - efficiency enhancements added to prevent delays when switching away from a Note to another form [4,830]
new framework designed to inform "traffic light showing" forms that they have to refresh their traffic light display if changes to the traffic light status of the Ops Note has changed. This will reduce the pause experienced by the user in the older design when leaving an ops note to view another form
Operations Notes - View menu introduced, allow user to toggle how they would like the new style multi-notes column displayed [4,844]
Although useful in many circumstances the default of "Target Scanning" being on all the time can result in barcodes being assigned to the wrong composite case when Auto RoadCase handling has resulted in a composite roadcase being split on the prep note. Turing off "Target Scanning" means that the scan engine alone is responsible for assigning the component barcode to the correct composite case.
Prep Note - when Case IDs are manually created then scanning to line that needs a new case, e.g. a split gives better feedback [5,037]
This short-circuits the need to subhire in to the donor warehouse in order to then go on to donate the subhired stock to the virtual warehouse (VW). Greater clarity and more direct.
These Global Subhires appear in the Warehouse book with appropriate labelling to indicate that they are supplying a VW
Project Book- Option to toggle between Virtual Warehouse and General Project if no donor lists created yet [4,989]
Repair Book - when "completing" a repair an option to transfer between Warehouses for repair and repairing is offered [5,103]
If DOC selected then the "exact" format with Text Boxes is used; of DOCX then the out put is editable (text boxes not supported in that format)
Reporting - Report Explorer. Display the report's menu caption on the status bar of the Report Explorer form [4,959]
Useful to know how many returning need to go back to a supplier
Sites and Warehouses - Display Order field added to Configuration form, which then determine the order everywhere in NX [4,973]
Stock Check - context menu options added to export lower grid data to Excel and HTML for first two tabs [5,124]
Stock Check - Grid for Actions & Resolutions now has Group By box and web style multi-select checkboxes [4,928]
makes it easier for user to target specific types or jobs etc and quickly select multiple records
File format is simple: a barcode string on its own line. Could be used for bulk disposals or similar actions
Subhire Allocations - the Quantity that can be allocated to multiple Rentals is no longer cumulative taking returns into account [4,828]
Now a 3 month subhire can be allocated to many more rentals as the date range of the rentals are used to determine if the Qty allocated is back in time to allow a Qty to be allocated to another rental. More useful for Global Subhires, but applies to Job Subhires too.
Subhires - "Hide Fully Allocated Shortages Indications" checkbox result in short lines NOT being red if they are fully allocated [4,832]
Even though the availability figure is global to the entire list, if a line is fully subhired then it can't be short and the is no need to draw attention to it, allowing the user to focus on other shortgages
Subhires - an extra button in the Unit Price field allows user to pop up details of most recent prices paid from suppliers [4,831]
Options include how many most recent prices to see and if to focus on current supplier or all suppliers
Testing - Improvements to User Interface / layout for a more intuitive and consistent experience [5,019]
Testing - Seaward Apollo extended / custom tests supported and results displayed for analysis. [5,017]
In addition to an overall pass / fail, all the extended tests data is imported and displayed on a Seaward SSS tab on the Results page.
Testing - Seaward Apollo files can included captured images of the tested item and these are imported if found [5,018]
Results page now has an Images tab to display all images stored against a barcoded item
Testing - Support for importing PAT result from a file generated by the Seaward Apollo Tester now supported [5,016]
Transport Book - option to specify what address type (Main, Delivery etc) is used for the Delivery Address. [4,925]
Transport Page - Purchase Orders. Now possible to append to any PO on the job raised to the same supplier [5,012]
This has been possible to date ONLY if no POs linked to the current transport request were found; now all POs linked to the same supplier are listed, linked to the current transport request or not.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.269.32 released on 5 April 2024
Logistics Book - File menu option to export a Popstock import file from filtered Shortages view [4,976]
Particularly useful will needing to fill an equipment list for a Virtual Warehouse build, but works also from the main Logistics page, simply filter by Shortages and export the file to get the CSV vile with the TypeID and Qty (determined by what is short) created.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.269..x - Coming soon
Sales Orders For Rentals - List Mode menu now has options to either predict Sales or Rental Availablity [4,937]
The release of 269 introduced an improvement to the availability checking algorithm whereby Rental Lists starting after a scheduled Sales Order for buying Rental Equipment would use the predicted purchase quantities in calculating availability, with the Sales Order itself just showing stocklevels for availability. This may not suit all users, depending on how they schedule their purchases so the List Mode menu now has two options:
Purchase linked rental equipment (only predicts rental availability
Purchase linked rental equipment (only predicts sales availability
HireTrack NX version 3.1.269.9 - Coming soon
HireTrack NX version 3.1.269.x released on 26 February 2024

So if the Collapse All rows button is clicked the user can see at a glance which days has something going on
Enhanced Crew - Option to move/shift Activities to a new date rather than having to Move Forward/Back by selected days [4,875]
Makes it easier to move an entire block of Activities to start one month after the date of the first selected activity or one month before the date of the last selected activity, etc
Enhanced Crew - Personnel allocation form now has checkbox to include Pencilled offers in the availability figures [4,852]
Enhanced Crew - Personnel allocation form now has drill down to show what someone is doing if Availability < 100% [4,851]

Enhanced Crew - Reconciliation form now allows the Append to POs raised elsewhere on the job [4,823]
Enhanced Crew - Cloning. The time take to do this is now roughly halved, resulting in less time with core tables locked [4,866]
1. Ability to search for a person. If found in the checklist of crew they are selected and checked; else they are added and selected and checked
2. Ability to set the searched for person to be the only selected person in the checklist box, so you can see only what they are doing
3. Ability to create a task for the selected person or for the highlighted person in the checklist box

HireTrack NX version 3.1.266.x released on 4 May 2023
Date formats - Users can now specify a Regional Date Format to determine how dates are displayed within HireTrack NX [4,628]
If HireTrack NX is being supplied to users via a "cloud service" then, until now, users in different regions would see dates represented in the format for the Region (e.g. United States) that the cloud or RDP server has configured.
The "My HireTrack" and "Configuration Book | Users" forms now each user to be assigned their own Windows "region" to control the display format of dates.
Enhanced Crewing - crewing completely rewritten to provide a modern, flexible and comprehensive user experience. [4,616]
The new Enhanced crewing provides a familiar ‘Spreadsheet’ type editor utilizing the standard spreadsheet controls like drag fill, copy, paste and multiple cell selecting allow the fastest possible way to provision crewing for the job.
The system is based around a cell being a shift – with each shift offering detailed breakdowns for Crew Pay, Crew Charges, Expenses and Accommodation options.
The spreadsheet layout is further enhanced by adding inbuilt editors for shift related information such as crew positions, crew selection, contact management and ordering.
Whilst each job can be handled through its own interface in the job book, A global editor is available that allows the booking of crew across multiple jobs and the ability to see what work is outstanding for each job.
In addition, a Calendar style display is provided to view a personal perspective for jobs and tasks.
For more info see https://www.hiretracknx.com/manuals/client/online/index.html?enhanced_crewing.htm
HireTrack NX version 3.1.264.x released on 26 July 2022

As such, they no longer appear in searches & and drop down controls. For legacy crew bookings Retired Crew types will still appear correctly on the Crew page of the Job Book
Allows users to include rich text in job related reports. The page allows users to pick from pre-defined Job Narrative Templates or to simple free hand craft there on document.
The data is stored in a new table, JobNarratives.Narrative. This table links to Jobs.Jobno via JobNarratives.xJob
Late Returns - Add an editable Notes field to the grid so that users can account for why the item isn't back yet [4,573]
Prep Note - Option (Rule) introduced that (safely) removes the prompt to Return as item that is currently Dispatched [4,527]
Subhires - date fields either side of the availability dates enabled to assist with scheduling subhires collections and returns [4,574]
The enabled field has no more functionality other than to allow users to enter dates when they expect to either collect & return the subhired items, or receive them in and have them collected. It is anticipated that the dates will then be used in data out displayed such as reports or web apps to assist warehouse and transport managers with scheduling subhire logistics.
To assist with clarifying the purpose of these fields the availability date fields have been re-labelled from 'In' and 'Return' to 'Avail From' and 'Avail To' respectively.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.263.x released on 31 January 2022
Accounts Integration - Option to have Invoices and Orders export handled for different Accounts Packages [4,416]
In the Config Book, Accounts Integration option you can now specific if an listed Accounts Package, e.g. Sage (Desktop) or Zapier can handle Invoices or Orders Only or both Invoices and Orders.
API engine added to program (see Config book) to enable future direct integration with third party apps [4,498]
A third import option, "Sales List Prices" has been added to this module. It allows you to import regular price list updates from your manufacturers/suppliers. The facility uses the MPN and Manufacturer's name to locate Inventory Sales types and update them with your buy in price and you charge on price; and because it doesn't depend on the Description in HireTrack there is an option to update your Type Descriptions from the import sheet (in CSV format that can be edited in Excel) should your Manufacturer have renamed them.
The facility also contains options to Delete/Retire obsolete Sales Types or generate a Standard Inventory Import Sheet from your Sales Import Sheet should the latter contain new lines that are not currently in HireTrack NX.
Inventory Book - option to search for types by Manufacturer's Part Number, with improved display in search results [4,433]
Particularly useful for Sales stock, especially when importing sales lists and part numbers are not found.
Also when searching my MPN or TypeCode these fields are displayed as a first column in the drop drop grid and the description in the second.
Inventory Book - ROI Page. Eight new fields displaying the Invoiced Totals for equipment types have been added. [4,457]
Inventory Book - Usage Bookings tab - hyperlinks added to columns that display Job and Equipment lists [4,429]
Allows user to quickly open the Job or the rental list
Late Returns - Diagnostics mode added for returning, allowing advanced insight to records that will not return [4,426]
Narratives - Rich Text that can be assigned to Inventory Groups as well as templates for Section header narratives [4,421]
This new feature allows Narrative Types (e.g. Cutting Instructions For Drapes or Packing Guidelines for Lights) that can be assigned to Master Categories, Categories and Types. Each assignment can contain unique text, so a Narrative Type like Packing Guidelines for Lights can be assigned to both Parcans and Moving Lights, each with different instructions. These Narratives would print out on reports.
This feature also subsumes and extends the v262 feature Equipment list section headers support rich text Narrative insofar as you can also define Templates for section headers in the Configuration Book and select them when editing the narrative in an equipment list.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.262.x released on 1 November 2021
For customers using Active Directory:
Previously HTNX was not able to see any AD users that were in Organisational Units.
Now HTNX can see all AD users whether they are in an OU or not.
Many clients want a description of what solution you're providing rather than a simple list of equipment. Section Narratives allows this.
If a barcode is on a Job Loan then if the logged in Warehouse is not the Home Warehouse then the Loan is returned after being job returned; if the logged in Warehouse is the Home Warehouse the Loan is returned and received back in after being job returned
The new switch /MetaData supports any valid INI file setting being passed by the command line e.g
/MetaData:"{'NoBroadcast':'TRUE','TCPIPAddress':'192.168.1.1','TCPIPPort':'16000','PreferedAlias':'Demo','PreferedServer':'NavigatorNX@192.168.1.1'}"
Inventory and Equipment List - Add option to Exclude specific equipment from being Marked up on a list [4,176]
Gives great flexibility for pricing

QBE Extensions - Allows specific areas of the program (Availability GANTT and Planner) to show customisable extra information [4,177]
Restricted users are users that can only access specific jobs or their own jobs. Ideal for giving freelancers access to some, but not all jobs.
This Rule replaces / upgrades the "Job Loans Warning On Return" Rule. Options are:
'No Feedback', 'Feedback With Sound', 'Feedback With Visuals', 'Feedback With Sound & Visuals'
Visual Feedback takes the form of a moveable, embedded "info panel" that displays the last barcode scanned, its type, it's last job/loan against a colour coded background: if the barcode's Home Location matches that of the logged in Warehouse then the background colour is white; otherwise the background colour specified for the Home Location warehouse in the Configuration Book is used in order to indicate that the barcode is not at it's Home Location.
Sales Orders - Have the "Show Hidden" option in Popstock display Never visible types to they can be purchased [4,286]
Add an extra Visibility option in the Inventory Book called Retired which if assigned means that Type is never visible anywhere in NX apart from Inventory Book. Change the "Never (Retired)" option to just "Never", and if editing a Sales Order make the "Show Hidden" option include "Never" as well as "Optional"
HireTrack NX takes the normally accepted way of using tags and expands on it in a number of ways including smart tags, automation of tags and output through tags.
See http://www.hiretracknx.com/manuals/client/online/tags.htm
Stock Check Book - Summary Page would benefit from a "colour key", similar to Logistics Book [2,978]
Enhancement to allow use to load their logo in to empty form's page.
It is now possible to Close the current form using the Close button on the left hand form navigation panel
Accessing the Windows control panel to set sounds was an inconvenience for users working on a remote desktop, especially in Application mode.
The sounds can now be assigned from within the program.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.260.x released on 4 December 2019
Inventory > Items > Barcodes List page now shows a 'Disposal Reason' field (read only from this page)
The disposal reason can be manually selected from the Repair or Stock-Out screens, and the available options are:
'Not Specified' | 'Class Transfer' | 'Beyond Repair' | 'End of Life' | 'Lost' | 'Stolen' | 'Sold' | 'Sales Order Returned'
Equipment List - when changing dates warn user if there are any linked Crew, Transport or Subhires [4,102]
If an EQList has either a Sub-Hire, Crew Request or Transport Request allocated to it, when you change the dates for that list a pop-up reminds you that dates for anything allocated may also need to be updated.
Equipment List - when changing Status extend the Status manager popup to display linked Subhires as well as Crew & Transport [4,103]
If an EQList has either a Sub-Hire, Crew Request or Transport Request allocated to it, when you change the status for that list the Status Manager will automatically appear.
This will allow you to change the dates for anything allocated at the same time if you wish.
All rollover hints remain visible on-screen for 30 seconds if the mouse cursor remains in the same place. (Previously some hints would hide after 4 seconds).
Inventory > Items > Barcodes List Page: New layout design with additional 'Asset Management' information fields. Also added functionality in that clicking on a Job Ref / EQList Ref / Ops Note Ref will open it.
Job Book - Add option for financial defaults to be pulled from the Main Venue of the job rather than the Client [4,115]
Job Book General Tab now has 'Financial Defaults' drop-down. If this is changed to "Use Venue" then the Job's 'Main Venue' company is used when looking up financial defaults. (Tax Address | Extended Price Scheme | Rental Discount | Invoicee on invoices raised | Commission Rates).
Software Config > General > Database Lookups - An additional column 'Display Order' has been added to allow control over the order in which Job Statuses appear to end users.
JobBook - Advanced Venue Commission. Add column for Additionals and alternative way of calculating profit margin [4,114]
Changes made to the Advanced Venue Commission feature:

Warehouse Book - Add "Items By QBE" tab that allows users to view barcode details via QBE Views and Smart Searches [4,091]
Give warehouse staff the option to see the same information on barcodes as is available in the Inventory Book, but with the option of doing this via QBE views. So for example, users can quickly see all barodes "Missing From Warehouse" or all barcodes on a specific Job.
Three example QBEs are supplied and user security for access and data editing applies.
Warehouse Book - Late Return Page. Provide facility to Stock Out un-returned kit with option to charge on to customer [4,084]

Config Book - Users. Provide option for Admin to be able to create a new user password without having configured email [3,846]
Inventory Book - Doing a Warehouse Transfer should set the Current Warehouse to the Home warehouse [3,754]
If an invoice need to be raised well in advance of an event and terms are payment 0 days but "before" the rental, then it can "appear" to be overdue when it isn't. Allowing the Due Date to be set gets around this problem.
If checked then when an item is booked and Reminders will be in the same Category as the selected type; when unchecked the Reminders keep their own Category.
The default behaviour in HireTrack NX before this feature was added is to always "Bind Reminders".
Repair Book - option added for scans to automatically return items to stock and the repair completed [3,996]
Implemented with a "Scans Return To Stock" (state remembered per user). So if this is checked then if scanned barcode is found it's repair is found and closed. A popup edit control keeps count of how many have been returned in a session and popping it up lists the barcodes and their types.
HireTrack NX version 3.1.258.x released on 14 August 2019
Introduces the ability to move stock between Rental to Ex-Rental or Sales to Rental via Sales Order Lists, Rental Lists or non job specific Class Transfer Lists
Global Sales Orders allow stock to be ordered without being linked to a job. A Global Purchase order is can be raised for the order.
Users can specify column orders and the visibility of the optional columns available to the different incarnations of operations notes
Planner and GANTT Chart for Availability - Control added that allows user to select performance over precision [3,997]
Highest precision aligns the start of bookings to the nearest hour but makes scrolling a busy Planner/GANTT quite slow; High Performance aligns the start of bookings to the nearest half day but allows the fastest scrolling of a busy Planner/GANTT
HireTrack NX version 3.1.257.x released on 13 August 2019
Feature complements existing Misc and Movement column functions and is persistent (stored on a per user basis). Options available also respect the type of equipment list being edited (Rental, Subhire, Sales list etc)
Equipment List Editor - Flagged field added to allow users to mark records that need attention [3,871]
Equipment List Editor - optional columns for Extra Costs and Anticipated Subhire Costs added [3,876]
Allows additional costs to be anticipated before subhires are raised or additional services bought in, thereby allow more accurate profitability to be predicted. Works in tandem with new Advanced Venue Commission facility
General Returns - Add "Progress" column to upper grid that popup up display of the return status of equipment lists [3,814]
Enables user to see which lists are completed for Return and Check In
If any Prep Bays have been allocated then the barcode scanned must be been assigned to one of Prep Bays for the current load. This allows a "phased dispatch" to be rolled out.
Supports international standards for commodity and tariff codes
Job Book - Clone Jobs Wizard allows user to select specific lists and subhires to be copied to a new job [3,874]
By default all lists are selected.
Job Book - Finances. Advanced Venue Commission form added offering greater control over anticipated and actual costs [3,873]

Subhire Wizard - Rule for displaying costs and entering final cost for each line being subhired [3,877]
If set then three new columns will be visible in the Wizard:
Anticipated Cost (sourced from new Anticipated Subhire Costs column in Equipment List)
Default Cost - the cost from the Supplier as set up in the Inventory Book
Actual Cost - what will actually be used on the Subhire

HireTrack NX version 3.1.256.x released on 27 November 2018
Barcoded Composites Flexibility - options to allow components to return early or late or to even temporarily detach them [3,602]
On Return notes it is now possible to scan back a component barcode before it's master barcode is back (scanned). Additionally, a component barcode can be reverse scanned (removed) after the master barcode has been scanned. This sets special flags against the items that can be viewed in the new editor interface for composite barcodes in the Inventory Book. This editor can also be used to "detach" a barcode from it's master so that it can go out on job independently without completely losing the link, allowing it to be reinstated when its back from other duties
Config Book - Access Rights. Six features that have required Admin status to become user specific. [3,559]
Previously, permission to access certain features in HireTrack was granted by making a user 'General Admin'. We have now separated these features into their own permission option, which means you no longer need to make a user General Admin for them to be to able to:
Lock / Unlock Jobs,
Override Testing restrictions when dispatching items,
Anti-Fraud Status,
Audit Trail manual edits,
Send Data to Support,
Invoice/Order Wizard - Save Default Options.
Allows all distributed reports to automatically show a logo on Quotes, Invoices etc. Also allows users to change logo on all their reports by just editing this field.
If you set a Reminder or Alias Part as zero charge in the Inventory, or if you are working with Priced Aliases, there is now a rule to select how these 'zero charge' equipment lines are dealt with on an Equipment List:
(Either Unit Price added as 0.00 and ChargeQty is 1, or Unit Price is normal price and ChargeQty is 0).
Config Book - New Active Directory Wizard to import AD users' credentials in to HireTrack NX [3,656]
If your company uses Microsoft Active Directory when users log onto their computers, certain user information can be imported from AD to HTNX and user credentials can be dynamically linked between the two.
When raising a credit or cancellation note, you will now be asked if you want to fully credit the original Invoice / Order. If you click 'Yes' the wizard will auto-populate the Credit Now field for the full amount. If you click 'No' you can enter the desired amount (in the same way as you did before this update).
If there were errors when trying to collect Incoming Email from your mailbox, you will now see a notification when you login.
It is now possible to give a user 'Read Only' access to the Equipment List Editor.
Equipment List - record who changed records and when and make this data available as option columns in the grid [3,560]
Within the Equipment List Editor grid you can now expose two new columns:
"Last Modified By" which shows the HTNX user that last modified a line of equipment, and "Last Modified" which shows the date the modification was made.
Equipment List Editor - Availability display for Freetext lines is now blank rather than zero to avoid confusion [3,578]
If a case code is generated from a barcode scan at Prep (Auto Roadcase Handling "rule" is on) then it is now eligible to be scanned (or entered) from the General Returns page, returning everything in the case is a single step. The option to turn this on is set on a per user basis in the security and features configuration area.
Two new fields added to the Inventory Book: SWL (Safe Working Load) for Types and ManufactureDate for Items.
Inventory Book - allow composites to be edited regardless if any of them are currently out on a Job [3,530]
When processing components, Ops Notes now use the Equipment List composite definition rather than the Inventory definition.
This means editing a Composite Definition within the Inventory Types page is no longer restricted if examples are still 'on-hire'.
Users can now select multiple 'Type' or 'Visibility' options when filtering the Inventory > Types page.
This enables users to view say all Composites and Aliases, or to exclude all types with visibility set to 'Never (Retired)'.
Inventory Book - ROI. In reporting parameters Job Types to be excluded now include "Unassigned Job Types" [3,677]
Invoices and Orders - Improved performance of raising large documents for better user experience and to reduce lock timouts [3,534]
Invoicing. When a part invoice has already been raised offer an option to use the original Qty not the difference Qty [3,655]
If Qty of 10 Widgets book and 50% invoiced. Then 10 increased to 12, subsequent invoice can either display a Qty of 2 or 12
Job Book - Eqlists Page. Early Returns sub grid introduced offering direct enhanced managing of equipment back before schedule [3,595]
Any dispatched equipment lines that have also been returned before the expected 'Back' date are shown in the Job Book, where they can be processed onto an Early Return list.
Job Book - Eqlists Page. Late Returns sub grid introduced offering direct enhanced managing of equipment not back as scheduled [3,596]
Any dispatched equipment lines not yet returned after the expected 'Back' date has passed are shown in the Job Book, where they can be processed onto an extension list.
If opening a Job for the first time since upgrading from HT Eclipse, a progress form now appears during the time consuming process it takes to upgrade. This prevents it appearing as if HT NX has locked up and is doing nothing.
The Clone Job feature can now be restricted for specific users via user-permission feature groups.
Makes "Return All" more "focused" on target data
Logistics - add option to preserve grouping in the upper grid when "problems" filters are active [3,562]
Allows users to continue to filter my Mastercategory or Category in the lower grid.
Max RAM Nag Rule - for Terminal Server environment have a max RAM per user setting and custom prompt if exceeded [3,619]
RAM is vital resource in a multi-user Terminal Server environment, particularly in a metered "hosted" platform, so users that unwittingly bloat memory usage may need to be prompted to close some forms if a configurable RAM usage by HireTrack NX is exceeded. Regardless of the RAM setting, the nag will only be displayed if HireTrack NX is running under Terminal Services
Display results on Help & Support page. Useful for Terminal Server implementations, particularly on a "hosted" solution where RAM is limited by contractual arrangements
Operation Notes - Description column. For component lines, display how many are needed to make 1 composite master [3,642]
When staff are trying to fill a case with 1 composite when 5 have been booked, they can quickly see how many of each component needs to be scanned/counted.
Helps users identify what's what.
Operations Note - Pending Barcodes popup. Right click menu now offers options to output barcodes to an importable list [3,631]
Two menu options:
Display Delimited Barcodes
Display Importable Barcodes - useful for generating barcode files for importing on another job.
Popstock - add "Show Available Only" option and incorporate it and the "Short Shortages Only" in a single drop down selector [3,644]
For users that want to utilize available stock first. i.e. book something that will do the job rather than selecting a specific type that will need to be subhired in
In cases where user only want to Prep what has been received in, the Back Fill Wizard prompt can be an unnecessary interruption, sometimes leading to user error if loans and subhires "receive ins" are forced thru
Prep Note - add filter for "Locked Lines" so that these can be hidden from view, making it easier to work with the Note [3,638]
Prep Notes - Target Scanning. Selecting any line on a composite should target the package regardless of the barcode type scanned [3,632]
If a Composite is made up of Widgets, Wiggles and Woggles then if the master line or any component line is selected then a scan of a Widget, Wiggle or Woggle will be targeted at the appropriate line in the focused composite.
QBEs on File Menu - Support system parameters like ':CurrentJob' on forms that can supply the relevant values [3,482]
Please see https://navigator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005107114-QBE-Automatic-Parameter-Support for more information
Repair Module - automatically fill service record with last equipment list when generating a new repair [3,541]
shortcut for users that obviates leaving this field blank

Reporting - Export To File under Terminal Services. Improve the time it takes to export to a remote local drive [3,627]
Allow users to access the value of the CurrentWarehouse ID Calc tab code
Returns Note - Warehouse Mismatch form alerts user of it's presence by playing a Customizable Sound [3,630]
Returns Notes and General Returns - Warehouse Mismatch form needs option to remember choice for returns session [3,737]
Already does it without even asking in a Returns Note but prompts every time in General Returns. New checkbox on the popup form makes it a use choice in both scenarios and a red label on screen indicates the rule for the session thereafter
Rules - Warehousing. Option to set the default response when a use gets a Warehouse Mismatch prompt form [3,629]
Sales Cost Calculations Priority Rule - specify combinations of audit trail, sales orders and default purchase costs. [3,577]
Stock Transfer Lists (Rental & Sales) - These lists are a new type of Equipment List that move stock between Warehouse [3,572]
More powerful than performing transfers in the Inventory Book, and with full two stage warehouse operations for dispatching and receiving in, Stock Transfer lists allow multi-warehouse users to permanently move stock, from warehouse A to warehouse B, quickly and efficiently.
Unlike a Global Loans, this stock is not expected to return in the foreseeable future.

Late Returns - Add hyperlinks to Eq Ref and Job Ref column to allow easy opening on these forms [3,494]
Reporting - Print Preview. Report Performance Monitor added in the guise of a display of count of SQL executions [3,526]
Will give an indication as to potential design flaws in reports that take a long time to run
HireTrack NX version 3.1.254.x released on 17 April 2018
Address Book - Company Usage Window should be much bigger to display information without left/right scrolling [3,392]
Address Book - full security added to all sub tabs in order to help users implement the requirements of GDPR [3,382]
Addresses some of the issues raised forthcoming EU GDPR regulations
Availability GANTT chart. Add option to force Late Returns entries to appear towards the bottom of the chart [3,239]
It can be tedious to scroll past loads of these to get to lists that are coming up.
As well as introducing these improvements, the editing of Email Templates have other refinements to make the process more intuitive.
Configuration Book - Email Templates. Option needed to ensure that all new users automatically have access to a template [3,306]
"All Users" vs "Selected Users" added to the "Select Permitted Users..." drop down.
Crew and Transport - option to toggle all the "Inc Quote" checkboxes on and off for a Header by clicking column header [3,344]
Offers a quick way to "no quote" for all your Crew or Transport.
Will be particularly noticible when bulk updates on "register tables" like Hetype.nx1, Company.nx1 etc.
Email Addresses - option added to Config Book, Database Lookups to edit or delete un-linked email addresses [3,410]
Freely entered (un-linked to Address Book entries) email address can be managed from this new interface
Emailing - Incoming emails now tracked by HireTrack and automatically matched to email addresses and outgoing emails. [3,280]
Makes HireTrack NX a one stop shop for managing all correspondence about a job.
Equipment List - Movement grid, Barcodes popup form. Display the user that scanned the barcode [3,339]
Equipment List - hyperlink on subhires summary for line or list to quickly open or focus the subhire in of interest [3,316]
Allows for quicker navigation in the program.
Equipment List - New grid added to header displaying the progress of warehouse operations and all the warehouse operation notes [3,288]
Gives better oversight over what has been done for warehousing operations, particularly for users wanting to use the new "Quick Warehousing" facilities.
Equipment List - Option to preserve line discounts that deviate from the global discount when setting new target price/discount [1,868]
NX now introduces this as a Rule that is then copied to the Equipment List header to give full control over how line discounts are affected by global discount changes.
Equipment List - warehouse menu options moved to "Quick Warehouse" main menu to make functionality more obvious to users [3,277]
Displays all the subhires for the list, including Type Description and a hot link directly to the subhire.
If equipment is back but not checked in, the Late Returns component of the available checking algorithm can make a list going out TODAY look far worse than it is for shortages. Option to ignore Late Returns removes any contribution officially overdue kit is making to availability.
Equipment List Editor - Pricing dropdown needs a user confirmation to change because all the pricing on the list is affected [2,973]
'Display Equipment List Pricing' option added to User security. If turned off, not only is all pricing information turned, but operations that can affect pricing like changing dates are turned off. This option designed to facilitate the new "Quick" warehousing options introduced in release 3.1.240.x
Equipment List Editor - Unit Price column. Add button to give use the option to reset the Unit Price to the default for type [3,305]
Allows user to get back to the default daily price, which is particularly useful when you need to charge for a Warehouse Added item.
"Price Lock My Jobs Only" - users can only edit if they created the job
"Price Lock Any Job" - users can edit any job
If neither options are selected then no editing at all is possible.
When this option is checked a barcode will only be Returned, not Returned and Checked In. This allows system to know that it's back via a fast "scan of the truck", and a proper Check In can take place later.
More convenient and less technically demanding than doing this task from the server.
This upload process also encrypts personal data the HireTrack NX database to help meet GDPR commitments.
Also gets around problem of the file server desktop not being available to many users.
Inventory & Prep Notes - Composite components gain a "NoAutoCountOut" flag that stops the type being processed with the master [3,401]
Excludes specific components from being processed by Quantity when a composite master barcode is scanned or when the user enters a Quantity against a composite line. This means that barcodes that you don't want to tie up in a composite barcode can then be scanned for the excluded component.
Inventory Book - Barcodes page. Display the last stock check "seen" date with user that did scan [3,260]
Inventory Book - Barcodes page. Move details to right hand panel and display barcodes in simple grid on the left [3,261]
Makes it easier to scroll through multiple barcodes
By setting this if, if a type has no component barcodes associated with it, that line on an ops note will not automatically be counted onto the note when the master barcode is scanned
Inventory Book - Keep "Manage Barcodes" tab in sync with Equipment Type filter on the "Barcodes List" tab [3,264]
If filtering by a type then going to "Manage Barcodes" already selects this type.
Inventory Book - Keep Items page and Types page in sync on equipment type if Items page has no filters or just a Type filter [3,263]
So when going to the Items page, if there is no filter set or there is an active Equipment Type, set the filter to be the same as the current type on the Types page; similarly, if the Type filter is active on the Items page, then keep the Types page in sync
The inventory book now displays a graph showing daily rental and subhires usage for the "Get Usage By Day" function.
Inventory Book - ROI tab. Daily Usage now automatically displayed. No need for slow progress bar and button click to display [3,428]
Exported data is now easier to reference.
Inventory Book - some lower areas of the Types page form are unavailable if a monitor resolution is 1050 or lower [3,361]
Job and Global Loans - requirement to be able to loan Consumables, particularly when some Rental equipment supplied with them [3,254]
Control who is allowed to perform this action.
Late Returns - Return All. Skip Barcoded checked by default and confirmation feedback for including scanned items. [3,248]
Helps to prevent user unwittingly returning stock that should be properly checked with a scan.
MagicKeys - prevent user from "un-highlighting" the data in supported controls by single clicking in the editor to set a cursor [3,334]
If the user does this then "listening" apps cannot retrieve data from the control.
Operation Note - Option to show the text of Eqlist Notes by clicking on column header. Option should be "sticky" [3,227]
Operations Note - Introduce a "Select" column so that users can process a specific batch of items in a single go [3,333]
As an alternative to entering the Quantity against each line processed (e.g Prepped), users can use the selected column to specify which lines have been completely processed. A "Process Selected" button then operates on those lines.
Operations Note - make Composite masters and Priced Aliases more salient by displaying in bold and with deeper colour indicator [3,332]
Master lines are now displayed in bold and with a darker indicator colour.
Popstock - set the Smart Search box as the active control with blinking cursor in it so users can start typing straight away [3,368]
Prep Note - Strict Location Scanning option expanded to allow the transfer of scanned items to the Warehouse for the Job [3,405]
So if an item is officially located and stocked in to Warehouse 2 but is actually at Warehouse 1 and NOT on LOAN, by switching to "Transfer Item Locations" the barcode will be moved to Warehouse 1 and stocked out of Warehouse 2.
Prep Notes - Case Code drop down combo boxes also list case IDs that have been assigned to other Prep Notes for a list [3,251]
Thus making it easier for a subhire to be put into a roadcase that had processed on a Prep Local note. All roadcases on an equipment list are available to be selected.
Prep Subhires & Loans - warnings and prompt that block Prepping if previous stages not complete are replaced by Pre-Prep Wizard [3,343]
Shortcut that allows users to "backfill" all Subhires Arrived/Available and Loans Received via a handy Wizard popup form that now appears instead of a warning.
Prep Subhires and Loans: Flexible Roadcasing option displays non subhired/loaned roadcases and allows roadcase additioni [3,250]
With "Flexible Roadcasing" turned on Prep Subhires and Loans will see roadcase types that have been booked on a list without the need to subhire or loan them. Moreover, any scanned and "auto-added" roadcases will appear too. This allows subhires to be allocated to in-house roadcases.
QBE Book: Saving a QBE now defaults to the QBE name as the filename (rather than no filename) [3,384]
QBE Module - add facility to publish QBEs to the File menu of all forms, allowing user to run them without going to QBE Book [3,363]
Assigning a "Form" to an QBE and a Reporting Group (if user security is needed) will allow users to run the QBE and get results from that form, with a simple grid interface displaying the data.
see http://rbwiki.digital-metaphors.com/general/whats-new/rb-19/
Reporting - Re-introduction of quick outputs to file for email, clipboard and export facilities from the print preview [3,304]
Helps users work on specific areas of a return.
Although cases cannot be guaranteed to contain what they did when dispatched, now and then it is useful to assume that everything is as sent and then just deal with anomalies at the Check In stage
Sage UK 50 Accounts Integration. New "system" QBEs installed, along with a new version of the Sage Connection DLL [3,324]
Eqlists.Costs
Jobs.AnticpatedSalesQuoteCosts
Jobs.AnticpatedSalesProvisionalCosts
Jobs.AnticpatedSalesConfirmedPlusCosts
The above fields are only populated if new Rule RentalCostsAsMisc is turned off. In other words, both Rental and Sales costs will be written to Misc Costs if RentalCostsAsMisc is on; if RentalCostsAsMisc is off then both Rental costs (Prep and Usage cost) and Sales Costs are written to Eqlist.Costs and the three new Jobs costs fields.
Sales Lists - Current Cost and Anticipated Cost columns include Qty booked in their subtotals [3,429]
makes it easier to work out margins
Stock Check - if a stock check is active then when "On Job" items are Returned create a "seen" stock check record [3,335]
Although items on jobs are accounted for ins the Stock Check figures, when these are returned users are obliged to add these to the Stock Check in order to be considered seen. Automating this process saves time and removes the possibility of omission errors.
Stock Check - Summary Page. Barcodes list to show "In Repair" for Last Seen if item has been "seen" while in repair bay [3,319]
Helps user to understand why a stock checked item is still not on the shelf.
Subhire Editor - allocation window to have hyperlink to quickly open or focus the Equipment Lists in of interest [3,317]
Allows for quicker navigation in the program.
To help with custom GDPR requirements, the client IP address is new logged when a user logs in [3,371]
Warehouse Activities - Add traffic light indicators to lower grid to make it easier to see the Prep progress of specific lists [3,124]
Warehouse Book - extra "Overdue" tab added to Activities area (now renamed as Advanced Operations) [3,287]
Warehouse Activities (renamed as "Advanced Operations") now has three tabs: Pending, Overlooked, Overdue. The new "Overdue" gives an advance access to ALL late returns, rather than those up to just 7 days late on the Pending tab (needed for optimum performance)
Warehouse Book - New "Quick Operations" page added, giving simplified view of equipment list a customizable search form [3,286]
Levering the power of the in built generic "search form", numerous "views" of equipment lists that need processing can be displayed. Users can then quickly open a list and use the new "Quick Warehouse" menu to process various operations.
Warehouse Operations - critical issues when processing multiple barcodes no long block the processing of "good scans" [3,348]
Allows the good scans to just go through so that problems can be looked at later.

Equipment Usage figures - add "Job Types To Ignore" options to the user prompt for the Usage Report [2,939]

Day by Day usage available as a drill down, exportable to Excel
Job Types to Exclude option added so that figures not distorted by internal or special jobs.
Sell and Buy rate cards can be quickly updated via a powerful inbuilt spreadsheet interface. Data can be saved to Excel file and re-imported if required.
when creating a new barcode this will default to the default location for the type
this information is also displayed in the new popup for the Remaining column in the Ops Notes, and in the Reserved Barcode popup.
Keyboard/Wedge scanners - introduce a "control code" detection so the supporting forms give auto-focus to barcode editor [2,967]
Unlike COM port scanners, USB scanners that can only emulate a keyboard often create problems for users as before scanning the barcode editor on a particular HireTrack form has to have the focus. By checking for a control character, such as Ctrl + B, HireTrack NX can now automatically focus the barcodeeditor and get it ready for accepting the remainder of the scanned barcode.

A Subhire or Sales Order will use supplier specific schemes if assigned.
Warehouse Book - Global Dispatch module introduced, allowing dispatches of multiple linked jobs via a simple user interface [2,943]
Warehouse Book - Global Returns. Options to open Operations Note or Equipment List from hyperlinks on these columns [2,935]
