New customer notes tab
A new "notes" tab has been added to customer pages to easily organize customer related information that doesn't apply to other specific notes fields
Notes are automatically organized by date and display user name, date and time clearly
Any user can create a note but only the user who created it can edit it
This preserves the integrity of the information and prevents "he said, she said" situationsA new user permission has been added called "Can delete other user notes"
Users can always delete their own notes but can't delete other user's notes unless they have this permission
Auto-send multiple route stop emails for a single property
You can now auto-send route stop emails for a property to more than one email address by entering additional emails into the "Route Stop Email" field
Be sure to separate each email address with a comma as shown below
Send emails from your own domain/email address
A new field in email settings named "Send From" has been added
You can change this to an email from a domain you own (website URL you own) in order to send email from that address instead of notify@poolbrain.com
To prevent emails from going to spam and to prove you have permission to send from this email, you must add 3 CNAME records (DKIM) to your domain DNS settings
Instructions will appear below the field. This is not something we are able to do for you and you will need to have access to the registrar where you purchased your domain. Email will continue to be sent from notify@poolbrain.com until this is done.To see which CNAME records need to be added and for additional help, click "CLICK HERE" at the bottom of the message
Once you have added the 3 CNAME records to your DNS settings (this is not in Pool Brain), click the "Verify DNS Changes" button
If the records were added correctly, you will see a message that says "VERIFIED" in green text

New technician permission
Technician permission toggle to prevent certain techs from being able to view products / services on a job in the app
New salt reading requirement control
The "Default" service level has been removed
The service level named "Default" has been removed in settings. It's only purpose was to control which workflow to use if a route stop was started in the app for a property that did not already have a service level assigned.
There is now a toggle switch on each service level to determine which workflow to use if a route stop is started on a property that doesn't have a service level assigned
NOTE: This should be a very rare case but you can control it with this new toggle switchThe service level with this toggle activated will be the workflow that is used
Only 1 service level can have this toggle active at any given time
Other Improvements

Max chlorine reading in app raised to 50ppm
Camera is now able to be zoomed in on Android devices
Job templates no longer have a "tax" setting option and will no longer overwrite the tax setting on a job when applied
Character count for quote notes section increased to 10k and vertical spacing format will appear as entered when customers view the notes
Customers that have been archived in Pool Brain but left active in QBO will sync updates (if any are made in QBO) without the system making the customer again in PB
System checks have been added to prevent a quote being approved more than once if a customer rapidly clicks the "Approve" button or if two people have the quote open simultaneously and both approve it.
ACH payments made in Pool Brain now show the last 4 digits of the bank account used on the payment for easy reference
