The finPOWER Connect Cloud theme can now be customised via a Script.

This allows different colours and/ or logos to be defined based on the signed in User, e.g., a Dealer or Broker-based theme.

Controls for HTML Widgets are now provided to make creating HTML Widgets easier and to provide functionality required to implement customisable forms in finPOWER Connect Cloud.

Records, such as Accounts and Clients, can be opened from many sources, e.g., via a Search, or a hyperlink on a summary page.

The "Records" view is where records are displayed and, as such, is where users will likely spend the majority of their time in finPOWER Connect Cloud.

The ability to run reports and export report data has been added to finPOWER Connect Cloud, our Web-based version of finPOWER Connect.

The ability to view and manage tasks has been added to finPOWER Connect Cloud, our Web-based version of finPOWER Connect.

We are always looking at ways to enhance the finPOWER Connect Cloud user interface to provide the best possible experience on both desktop computers and mobile devices.

finPOWER Connect Cloud is the Web-based version of finPOWER Connect.

It exited beta at the beginning of March 2017.

From finPOWER Connect version 2.03.00, Business Layer help is included with the finPOWER Connect installation. This means that the separate help file that was previously supplied is no longer required.

Business Layer help is always available from the Script code page, but the best enhancement is context sensitive help. It is now possible to directly access help for a specific method, function or object without having to search for it.

Mobile trader pleads guilty to disclosure failures in contracts

Mobile trader Best Buy Limited (Best Buy) has pled guilty to 16 charges relating to the operation of its door-to-door sales business in Auckland and smaller North Island towns.

The charges were filed under the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 (CCCFA). Eleven charges (between 6 June 2015 and 28 April 2016) relate to failing to disclose the required information to its customers about their consumer credit contracts before the contract was entered into. Many of Best Buy’s consumer credit contracts failed to disclose important information such as an accurate statement of the amount or number of payments needed, an accurate statement of the debtor’s cancellation rights, and the right to apply for hardship relief.

Five charges (between 6 June 2015 and 31 October 2015) relate to a contract clause which was likely to mislead customers into thinking Best Buy had a right to repossess goods when it did not, failing to meet disclosure standards under the CCCFA.

Best Buy will be sentenced later this year.
