Significant changes to Contact GLA Permissions.

  • This change affects which GLAs Contacts and Coordinators can see to when viewing the bill, receiving the Bill Coordinator Email, or creating a Service Request in CustomerCenter. Contacts will no longer inherit the GLA Permissions from the Contact's Department. Instead, they will only use the GLA Permissions specifically set on the Contact Form. This applies to Coordinators as well. Coordinators, however, will still inherit the GLA Permissions from the Departments they coordinate, but only if there are no GLA Permissions listed on the Coordinator's Contact Form.
  • The GLA Permissions grid on the Contact Form is no longer restricted by the Contact's Department or the Coordinated Departments. Any GLA matching the Billing Group Format can be added to the Contact's GLA Permissions.  When GLA Permissions are removed from a Department Form, they are no longer removed from Contacts belonging to those Departments.
  • A bug was fixed on the Contact Form GLA Permission grid for the "Inherited Permissions" button. Clicking this button now properly shows the Contact's inherited permissions and will reflect the other changes to GLA Permission inheritance called out above. If the Contact is a Coordinator, the button will show the GLA Permissions from the Departments where that Contact is a coordinator. If the Contact is not a coordinator, there will be no inherited permissions.

Added the Rating Group to the Service Desk Archiving Printouts.




Prior to 2020.4, completing a Service GLA change on a Miscellaneous Action would update the Charge upon Completion, and would not update the Charge dates based on the Finalization Date. Now Finalizing the Action will update the Start and Stop Dates based on the Finalization Date.

When doing a Service GLA change through a Misc Action, the service's charges get updated with the new GLA upon completion using the billed through date. When the action is then finalized, the charges do not get updated again with the Finalization date. 

IN-4140

IN-4404


The Service ID is no longer blank on some Service Desk Reports.

E911 Changes

This update will update the data in the E911 snapshot and load E911 fields from All addresses in the Database.

    for the following import fields: SLA, Default SLA, GLA, and Permitted GLA.
  • The import will now throw an error if any of the following items from the import file are Inactive: Billing Group, Default GLA, Default SLA, Default Incident SLA, and Permission GLAs.
  • The import now defaults new Department Hierarchy records to Active when no status is provided in the import file.
  • New Department Hierarchy records now require the Billing Group. An error is thrown if a Billing Group is not provided in the import file.
  • The import now restricts the allowed Default GLA, and GLA permissions to those allowed by the Billing Group provided in the import file. The import will throw an error if a GLA in the file is not allowed on the provided Billing Group.

Previously, changing the amount on the Charge Catalog kicked off an event that updated all Charges, including Labor Charges. Labor Charges, particularly those using a flat-rate charge, should be static and not updated by changing the Charge Catalog.

IN201834290
Service Desk Labor Charges are no longer deleted in cases where the user attempted to delete a Labor record, but the Labor record could not be deleted. Previously, even when the Labor record could not be deleted, the associated Labor charge was deleted.



Saving a new Labor record will no longer randomly display an "Oops Error" message.

 2019.7

Notable Changes

    • Added an AdHoc Grid Report Library to the wiki.
    • Updated various pages in the wiki to clarify current functionality.
    • Added Service Desk Archiving
      • It allows users to delete old data, such as Locations, Contacts, and Equipment (Foreign Keys to Locations, Contacts, etc. on Service Desk prevent deleting data).
      • It allows users to archive and potentially clean up (delete) old Service Desk Data.
      • It provides the ability to Demolish a Location, which allows the deletion of a Location along with all sub-Locations and associated Cable Data.  
      • Archiving old data improves the performance of grids and pickers.
      • Note: Customers interested in using Service Desk Archiving must email the Helpdesk to sign up for a training session to review how Archiving works and the implications of the various settings before PCR will turn on the Archiving Event. We will be setting up separate 2019.7 group training sessions to review new features.
    • Added Work Order functionality to allow for one-time Orders that do not create or manage Services.
    • Removed the Service Desk Cabling Report and replaced it with an AdHoc report.
    • Removed the Cable Locations Report and replaced it with an Adhoc report. 
    • Numerous fixes to Service Desk Imports.

    • Aging a Multiple Location Service that was used on an Incident no longer fails.
    • Redesigned the My Service Desk: Assigned and Workgroup grids towards a workflow focus.

Please review the Database Changes in 2019.7 and make any necessary changes to your Adhoc Grids, Custom Events, and API calls.

E911 Changes

This update will update the data in the E911 snapshot and load E911 fields from All addresses in the Database. 

Generating the E911 report now requires using the USE_E911_NENA2_FIELDS configuration option, if the option is not enabled the process will throw an exception.

NOTE: This will likely create a change record for every Service on a Building where the Nena2 fields were previously blank. The change records created by this process would be a one-time change.


The E911 Report will now convert "Court" to the prefix "CT".

  • Available Services are now correctly validated against Service Pools and follow the same eligibility restrictions as the Actions form.
  • UDFs now work with Service Desk Imports.
  • Added support for the Action Default GLA field.
  • Services that are not "Assignable" can now be used with Remove or Task Action Imports.
  • The Service Desk Import can now create Task actions without a Service Catalog specified. Only Upgrade/Downgrade Actions require the Service Catalog.

  • The Service Desk Import now generates an error if an Owner is specified for anything other than an Add Action or Owner Change Action.

  • Added validation to the Service Desk Imports to verify the following (any invalid combinations will result in an error):
    • Only Auth Code Services use Class of Service
    • Only Auth Code Services use Auth Code Type
    • Only Backbone or Data Services use Bandwidth
    • Only Phone Services use Report 911
    • Only Phone Services use Directory
  • Some valid SDCs were throwing an error that the SDC was not valid for the action; this has been fixed.

  • The Service Desk Import now correctly supports the Move-to Location field on Actions
  • The Service Desk Import now allows the existing Available Service Catalog to be a parent of the provided catalog.
    Example: if the Available Service has a Catalog of 'phone,' then the Catalog provided to the Import could be 'phone > Avaya'. However, the Import will error if the provided catalog is 'auth code'.
  • If the SDC field is not mapped on the import definition or is not provided in an import file, the Service Desk Import no longer picks a random SDC.
  • The SDA_Number field mapping was removed from the Service Desk Import.  There is no need to set the Action number via an Import at this time.
  • The Service Desk Import no longer allows Category Catalog items (i.e., Equipment, Service, or Charge Catalogs with the Category flag set).

The Service Options field on Actions is no longer disabled after navigating from a Completed or Finalized Action to a Pending Action.

 2019.5

Notable Changes

  • Optimized the Charges Grid and Ports/Pins/Lens Picker.

  • Added an Open Source Button to the Charges Grid.
  • Added Ports/Pins/Lens Transfer Import
  • Added an Add From SDC button to the Service Desk Workflow tab
  • Added a unique key on Ports/Pins/Lens. The Port/Pin/Len Side is now required. This prevents users from creating duplicate Ports/Pins/Lens records and prevents the system from creating duplicate Ports/Pins/Lens records from an Import.

    • Note: When the test system is upgraded to 2019.5 or later, PCR will add an Adhoc grid (to test and production) for any customers who currently use cable. Customers are responsible for cleaning up the data on production before they can upgrade to 2019.5 (or later) in production. We will NOT upgrade any customers to 2019.5 or later if the Adhoc grid still contains duplicate Ports/Pins/Lens records. If you have any issues cleaning up the data, please send an email to help@pcr.com for assistance.

Notable Changes

  • We added Historical Cable Data to Service Desk. This corrects several issues with Cable Statuses on Actions. In particular, completed Actions will now reflect the Cable status at the time of completion, not the current cable status.
  • We have converted Service Order Only Actions to Task Actions. This change gives customers a more generic way of tracking work on a Service Order; since not all work relates directly to a Service. This change replaces the Service Catalog type of "Service Order Only" with "Task" and adds a "Task" option to the Action selector on Service Desk Actions. Services cannot be created using "Task" type Service Catalogs.
  • We added several new Cisco Features and fixed several bugs.
  • We removed calDav support from the PCR-360 Calendar.
  • Users with an Administrator role can now add the Row ID column to any grid or picker.
  • When an Action is saved with a Service selected, Service Remarks are now automatically copied into the Activity/Remarks tab of the Action.
  • Added the ability to run Imports in Batches.

Notable Changes

The most significant change to PCR-360 we have made in this release affects all grids and pickers in the application.  By default, the grid count is now disabled on all grids and pickers.  We have made this change in order to drastically improve performance by reducing the grid load time across the application.  In our testing, we found some grids load, on average, twice as fast, or more.   We believe this change will improve the overall usability of the application and allow our users to complete their work more efficiently.  Please review the documentation (linked in the release notes below) to see how the grid functionality has changed with this release.

Additional Information on Hidden Locations

Before this change, if you had a Location record that you hid using the Hide Button on the Location Grid, and you tried to get the Cable Full Path or Location Import to create that Location, you would get an error. The import would check to see if the Location already existed. The check was ignoring hidden locations, treating them like they didn't exist. So, the import tried to create a new Location record and caused an SQL Duplicate error.

After this change, these two imports will notice that the Location already exists in a hidden state. Now the import retrieves the hidden Location record and updates it, so it is no longer hidden. The process will blank out any old information on the Location (from before it was hidden), so it will seem like a fresh new record. The remaining import logic will treat it as a new record and fill in the values as normal. The Imported Records grid will display a line showing a new Location record added.

A consequence of this is that if there were any old Service Orders that referenced this Location, then any details of the Location that were displayed on the Service Order will now show the new Location values instead of the original values. This problem will eventually be solved by the Service Order archiving change.

Added new functionality to Invoices:

  • Converted all Invoice Numbers to INVOICES table records
  • New Invoices form, grid and printout


Invoices

Added Back Billing:

  • Creating a new Monthly Recurring Charge with a Start Date set in the past will bill additional charge amounts to make up past billing.
  • When Stopping existing Monthly Recurring Charges if the Stop Date is set previous to the Billed Through date for that Charge the Bill will then credit the appropriate amount based on what was previously billed.
  • Catch-Up billing is controlled by the "Bill Backward" flag on Charge Catalog and Fiscal settings in Tenant.



Modified the Email Coordinator Bill Process to use Coordinated Department GLA Permissions, Assigned Department GLA Permissions and Contact GLA Permissions.

Bills

Added the Fiscal Start and Fiscal Start Next Year values to Tenant Management.


Tenant Management

Cleanup and optimization of the Charge grids.

Note: This will likely cause an issue with saved Perspectives on Charge Grids. You may need to rebuild those Perspectives after the upgrade.



Fixed an issue where Service Orders and Actions were not consistently marked as Billed. e.g. Orders or Actions Finalized In October (with a September Finalization date) and a September 1 - September 30th Billing cycle would not get marked as Billed until the next billing cycle.

  • Note: Only Incidents, Orders and Actions with Charges will be marked as Billed.  Items without Charges will stay Finalized.

IN201731381

Addressed a number of Bill Caching issues by linking the Bill Cache to the User's session.

  • Fixed an issue where the Clear Bill Cache form would occasionally display the wrong Bill Date Range.
  • Fixes an issue where the Date Ranges were incorrect for an emulated user.
  • Fixes an issue where the GLA Permissions were incorrect for a given User, but correct when emulating that User.
  • Fixes an issue where a Coordinator was unable to see Department Bills that they manage.
  • Addresses other various display issues with Cached Bills.
  • Note: The Bill Cache is now cleared when the User logs out or closes the browser.

Bills

Added a Billing Complete flag to Charges.  The totals on Services and GLAs are calculated based on the Billing Complete flag.

IN201832565
Updating the Description or Prorate Flag on a Service Charge, Equipment Charge, or Gla Charge now carries over to the Charge Record (and properly displayed on the Bill). However, this will not trigger a Start or a Stop on the Charge.

IN201834411

Fixed issues surrounding Charge Start Dates set in the future. (i.e. Charges set with a Start Date of next year)

  • Future Start Dates will not Start or Stop when Effective Today is selected.
  • Future Start Dates will not be recreated with today's date when Date to Last Bill is selected.

IN201731656

Service Tabs: Charges

Equipment Tabs: Charges

Stopping Annual, Semi-Annual and Quarterly Charges now triggers the bill to generate a credit. This is only for the current billing period and does not utilize Back Billing.



Fixed a display issue with the Service Charges tab that was triggered after clicking Save New on the Service Form.



Changing the Default Amount on a Charge Catalog and choosing the "Update Charges" option now properly uses Billing group pricing or GLA Component Pricing when applicable.

IN201833284
Adding a new GLA Component Pricing or Billing Group Pricing entry now prompts the User to update the existing Charges. When the User elects to "Update Charges", the Charges are now updated based on the new GLA Component Pricing or Billing Group Pricing.


IN201833996

GLA Pricing Models

Fixed an issue on the View Bill where the Billing Group dropdown displayed "All" even after a Billing Group was selected.



Fixed an issue with the View Bill where the Owner showed a different value on the CSV and PDF reports. The Owner column on the PDF displayed the Contact but the CSV displayed the Department.


IN201834235
Fixed an issue with the Bill Process Report where clicking the blue "i" icon would sometimes open the wrong record or display an error message.


IN201834361

The GLA Replace Process now properly handles Charges that have never been billed. (Previously the Charge Dates were incorrect on the new GLA)

Note: This fix is in addition to the Hotfix provided in patch 6 of 2.1.4: Charges not transferring during GLA Replace process




CustomerCenter

Added a CustomerCenter "Account Details" widget to the Homepage (Accounts Receivable license only).


Account Details

Fixed an issue where the CustomerCenter Theme Editor would not save or preview changes.



General


Migrated the application from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.2.

  • PHP 5.6 is no longer supported past December 2018.
  • PHP 7.2 brings various performance enhancements, reduced memory usage and current security fixes.

Note: PHP 7.2 is required for 2018.1 and all subsequent releases.



Added a Wiki Help slide-out to the application that connects directly to the new PCR-360 Wiki.


Changed the Prorate/Don't Prorate prompt to an Effective Date prompt with modified verbiage & buttons.

Bulk Update on Inventory

Charge Catalogs

Charges Tabs

G/L Account (GLA) Catalogs

Inventory Tabs

Service Tabs

Improved the performance of the Contact Pickers in the application, particularly the Contact Owner picker on Service Desk.



Changing a GLA with the Bulk Update process now allows the user to choose whether the Charges will Prorate or not. A prompt is displayed that gives the user two options: to update the GLA Effective Today, or Backdate to the Last Bill.

Note: This affects both Service and Equipment Bulk update processes.



Bulk Update

Imports & Exports

Added a Charge Catalog Import.


Charge Catalog Import

Removed the Call Flags tab from the Import File Format form.



Updating the Default GLA on a piece of Equipment now prompts the User for the Effective Date of the change.



Inventory

Fixed an issue where the Equipment Bulk Update failed to update the Equipment Owner when the Billing Group on the New Owner matched the Billing Group on the Original Owner.        

IN201833813
Removed Remaining Techview references.



People

Adding a new Worker Rate from the Contact Form will automatically populate the Regular, Overtime and Double Overtime fields with the Default Rate on the selected Workgroup.


Workgroups

CSV is now the default value on Grid Reports.

Note: This change was suggested during the 2018 Users Group.


Reporting on a Grid

Service Desk

Added a Path Legs Notes field to Service Desk Cabling.


Service Desk Tabs

Add Locations Actions no longer prompt the user when creating the Action. Services with a single location are not modified to a Multiple Location Service until the Action is completed.


Service Desk Change Actions

Enhanced Email Block Functionality:

  • Wildcards and regular expressions may be used for both the Email and Subject values.
  • Whitelists can be created using a negative look ahead regular expression.


Blocked Emails

The User-Defined Fields (UDFs) on an Upgrade/Downgrade Action now retain the Original Values from the Service UDFs when an Action is completed. The UDF tab displays the Original Values and the New Values that were applied to the Service.

The Imports, Service Desk Wizard and API will all set the Upgrade/Downgrade UDF values.

IN201833925
Fixed an issue where Finalizing a Remove Action did not always set the correct Stop Date on Charges.



Services

Fixed an issue where the Call Details tab on custom Phone-Type Services (such as Calling Cards) displayed all calls rather than just the calls for that Service.



Creating a Range of Services (from the Service Grid or Service Pools Form) no longer sets a default for the Bandwidth field.

IN201833945
It is now possible to add a Call Type to a Service Catalog Expense Object Code.
