Account Actions

A Faster Way to Find Records

First-up, version 3.01.05 introduces the "Find Record" button to the header area:

Record Find

This is the fastest way to view a record if you know either its Code or External Id since you no longer need to go to the "Search View".

If a record is found that matches the code entered, this record is immediately opened. If no record is found then a Quick Search is performed and the "Search View" activated.

Client Editing

The Client form now displays "Edit" buttons on each page or section where information can be edited. Clicking this allows you to edit that information:

NOTE: You can turn off the "Save" prompt under finPOWER Connect Cloud Configuration, General, Options page.

The Account Payment Arrangement wizard includes:

  • Adding Promises
  • Overriding Payments
  • Viewing a schedule of changes
