    • Added ability to limit how many orders may be placed in an interval when setting up an area for Mobile Ordering. 

Use Case: Previously, numerous orders may have innondated a kitchen at a certain time because mobile orders were not previously limited by pickup interval.  Now, specify how many orders can be accepted during a given interval to ensure orders taken can be completed.

Device Setting - Print Twice Enabled 

    • Added ability for Print Twice setting to apply to Mobile Ordering.

More Info Button in Mobile POS  

    • Added More Info button in the Mobile Orders grid in Mobile POS to see all relevant information about that mobile order. 

Use Case: Previously, additional information pertaining to a mobile order ticket including the ticket number, member, ticket creation time, mobile ordering menu, mobile ordering pickup location, mobile ordering pickup time, mobile ordering contact info, etc, was not easily available.  Now, select an order, and click the More Info button to easily locate contact information in the event the kitchen has a question about the order, or needs to inform the member of something pertaining to the order.

Notes - Privacy Setting 

    • Added ability to create private notes in CMA and designate existing notes as either public or private for Members, Employees, Vendors, and Guests. 

Use Case: Some notes should not be publicly available to see.  If a user is an admin or has the View Private Notes role, then they now have the ability to create new private notes, edit existing private notes, make existing notes private, and view all private notes. If an employee does not have the role, then they can only create/view/delete public notes.

PayCloud - Multi A/R Functionality 

    • Multiple A/R account setup is now possible for display in PayCloud.

POS - Manage Ticket Templates 

    • Added Open Tickets as an option for inclusion on End Of Shift templates. 

Use Case: Previously, when employees had open tickets, end of shift reports did not contain the ability to include this information in the report.  Now, with this element included, Management can easily see who has open tickets directly from the End of Shift Report.

 Image Removed

System - System Settings - Clubessential Endpoint Editor 

    • Added Display Order on Custom Sync fields to improve experience when syncing/troubleshooting syncing with Axis Website. 

Use Case: Previously, the custom field display and additions process was not optimized for the Axis Website Sync process.  Now, with this enhancement, Display Order is clearly shown, and new custom fields are always added to the bottom of the grid, ensuring the custom fields remain ordered for sync success.

    • Added the ability to have Master aggregate database for parent reporting, while maintaining reporting at the individual club level.

Image Added

Membership

Member Charge Wizard

  • Enhanced User experience by being able to store User preference to include dependents within the Member Charge Wizard.

Image Added

Credit Book

  • Updated security restrictions for Credit Book Types to now use the Area Group on the Credit Book Type instead of the Credit/Debit department.

Use Case: Previously, Clubs had to provide Balance Sheet department access to employees issuing credit book.  To enhance security around the balance sheet, an employee now only needs access to one of the areas in the area group set on the credit book type in order to choose it in the credit book wizard, rather than access to the credit/debit ledger department.

Image Added

Member Statements - Email Template

  • Added functionality to include Statement Name Field as an option when creating the email template for Member Statements.

Member Statements - Performance Enhancement

  • Improved system performance when calculating a Member’s Credit Book Balance to display on the Member Statement.

Use Case: Previously, spooling process when generating member statements could be extremely lengthy.  Due to this improvement, statement generation process performance is improved.

Image Added

System Settings

Guest Room - Folios

  • Added ability to customize the start and end time of reservations, which dictate when Folios are available for settlement in the Classic POS.

Use Case: Previously, guest room folios became ‘Active’ for settlement charging in the POS at 12:01 AM on the day of arrival and ‘Inactive’ at 11:59 PM Day of departure.  With this setting enabled, Clubs can now set times in alignment with their check-in and check-out times (rather than the default times) that they would like folios available for settlement.

Image Added

Inventory - Items

    • Added a button to the Qty On Hand field that will allow Users to immediately recalculate the items on hand.

Use Case: Previously, users could refresh the Manage Items Grid where it would pull Item data from the database. Now, Users can select the new Qty on Hand button within the Item; the system will evaluate all transactions and immediately calculate the number of that Item on hand.

Image Added

Banquets/ReServe Cloud

  • For Clubs using Banquets/Reserve - added additional warning message when attempting to save changes to the Club Display Name.

Use Case: Previously, if users changed the Club Display name in CMA without also updating the Club Display Name in Banquets/ReServe Cloud, the interface between the products could malfunction.  This warning message provides a reminder to users that if they are changing the display name in CMA, they must also change it in Banquets/ReServe Cloud.

Please Note: This process only affects those Users on Banquets/ReServe Cloud.

Image Added

Update Process for Hosted Clients

  • Improved User experience for Hosted clients when an update is available for Classic Office.

Use Case: Beginning with the next release, CMA/POS will automatically exit five minutes after displaying the “Update Available” message.  Previously, some users were unable to view the message and/or click to continue and therefore had to connect with support to receive the latest update.  This will take effect in the next update cycle (not the current one) as code has been deployed in this release that will then apply to the next release cycle.

Mobile POS (Pilot Clubs Only)

Please Note: These changes only affect Clients piloting the Mobile POS program.

Device Selection

  • Updated to display Club Name on the Mobile POS Device Selection page.

Use Case: Useful for multi-club operations, now easily view current Club name from the Mobile POS program.

Image Added

Users can select any Settle type or combination of different Settle types and adjustments to finalize the ticket.

Image Added

Advanced Split Ticket

  • Added ability, when in the Information Menu, to offer advanced splitting options.

Use Case: As currently available in Classic POS, Mobile POS now allows Users to perform advanced ticket splitting functions.  Once selected, the Advanced Split menu provides options to change the member, split and/or move individual items, and split tickets by dollar amount, seat, course or Member, as seen below.

Image Added

Ticket Sync to CMA

  • Added functionality to the Ticket sync process between Mobile POS and CMA by allowing invoices to be created immediately.

Use Case: Previously, once an Invoice was generated in CMA, the ticket could no longer be opened in Mobile POS without deleting it entirely from CMA. Now, invoices are created immediately and can be reopened until the Invoice is posted.

Please Note: When attempting to post an invoice batch, the system will ensure that all tickets that have been reopened, resettled, or deleted in Mobile POS are consistent with invoices in CMA.

In conjunction with the improved sync, additional ticket viewing/maintenance can now be performed using the Mobile POS Ticket Reconciliation within CMA (found under the POS tab).
