*QuoteMaster: WHAT'S IN THE PIPELINE? and KNOWN ISSUES
Question:
What's in the pipeline? and Known Issues.
Answer:
Last updated: 21 January 2015

In progress:
Security Gates for Security System.
– Chain Link Residential Color: not showing 1 3/8″ gate options for Single Swing
– E-Catalog
– Contractor version of Quote Master

KNOWN ISSUES
Build Issues
– Not calculating correct quantity of brace bands when Build has Barb Wire (not adding for Term Post)
– Tension Bars gets added to system without ability to select part (will be addressed when we make the changes to Brace and Truss)
– Commercial: Rolling Gates – no CQ for track options
– Chain Link Residential Color Templates: not retrieving correct diameter of Terminal Post

Maintenance Issues
– Customer Templates and Branch Templates: issue with saving with the same ID

User Interface
– Android tab – no scroll bar if there are multiple Styles (e.g. Montage), System page doesn’t display entirely (UI issues)
– Branch Defaults GBB List page is cutoff at the bottom on some laptops’ screens

IN THE PIPELINE
> Splash screen after you login for “What’s New?” whenever a new version of QuoteMaster is released
> Add stocking type to choosers
> Security Gates
– At present, QM adds/uses Commercial gates to Security ChainLink; this is because we use to not have data for Security gates. We are actively doing data entry for ChainLink gates and we’re working on the piece of code to support this data. [Update: Security Double Swing gates are in use by QuoteMaster]
> Brace and Trusses (Click here for additional information)
– add choosers for brace rail/truss rod and fasteners
– support option to remove brace (with disclaimer message) or add to below 6′
> Support Plates and Slats (Click here for additional information)
> Support transoms on Tennis courts and Security
> Show all conversions of Material List
> Material List: option to “round off” parts
> Material List: “Do you want to add?” (addons) selection

> Branch Builds (Templates)
Gates
– add columns for Gate height and gate diameter
– add additional fields for optional/add-on parts (3)

> Reports: Builds, Quotes/Orders. Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
– send report to Email

> Helpdesk “Click Here” button to contact the DC

> In progress: DATA WORK (Data Entry to add parts without XUDC and cleanup to slim down selections for Branch Default Builds)

Cosmetic changes:
> Re-label – “Active Builds” / “Inactive Builds”

For discussion/consideration
> Separate chooser for hinge and bolts (gates)
> discuss National Builds (ability to delete/rename National Builds)
