Written by Adam Beech

Orenda Calculator Improvements

  • Current readings now display on the Orenda Calculator screen on the left hand side
    ​Note: Readings can't be adjusted from this screen as they're entered in the workflow depending on the requirements and frequency set by the office. They're displayed here for quick reference purposes.
    ​

  • Techs can set the desired targets to match the current readings in 1 tap
    This allows auto-dosing with preset (customizable) desired targets or easy dosing via LSI calculations on the fly
    ​
    ​


    ​
    ​

  • Switch desired targets back to default setting in 1 tap

  • When both Alkalinity and pH need to be lowered, the Alkalinity dose is used per Orenda's recommendation. A message now displays beneath the muriatic acid field to clearly indicate when this occurs.
    ​
    ​


New chemical reading options have been added

  • "ORP" is now a reading option that can be activated in settings

  • "Copper" is now a reading option that can be activated in settings
    ​

  • "Iron" is now a reading option that can be activated in settings

  • "Hydrogen Peroxide" is now a reading option that can be activated in settings

  • All new readings are toggled OFF by default and won't display in the app unless they are toggled on in settings


Payroll improvements

  • Route Stops are now marked as "covered visits" only if the stop was one time moved AND completed by a different technician than originally scheduled.
    (bonus pay is still only calculated for covered visits)
    ​

  • Bonus pay now has it's own column on all payroll reports instead of combining route stop pay and bonus pay in the same column

  • Total bonus pay is now calculated and displayed

  • The summary tab in the company level payroll report now displays rows in alphabetical order by technician name


Quote report improvements

  • Added "Title" column which will display the title of the quote or "untitled quote" if no title exists

  • Added "Body of water" column which will display the body of water the quote is associated with

  • Added "Closed date" column which will display the date the quote status was changed to "Closed" by system or user.
    ​If quote is not in this status, no data will exist in the column.


New user permissions

  • "Can manage automatic email settings" user permission has been added
    ​This controls access to the "Automatic Emails" section of the Email Center

  • "Can manage email templates" user permission has been added

    This controls access to the Email Templates section in the Email Center


Other improvements

  • When using Bundles on invoices in Pool Brain, all the line items within the bundle will sync to the corresponding invoice in QBO including name, description, quantity, price/rate & taxable setting
    ​A general line item with the bundle name will no longer be synced to eliminate any invoice discrepancy potential.

  • Technician pay "Role" names now display in alphabetical order within the drop down list in settings
