| Email Templates | |

Text email templates can now be specified for emails, i.e. for the emails used when sending invoices, quotes, credit notes and statements.

This option is enabled via a new Email Sending Options dialog opened from the new Setup/ Email tab. | The Email Sending Options dialog allows SMTP server details to be entered. If customers do not have access to an SMTP server, the server details can be left blank and SliQ will attempt to email directly instead of routing email via a server. |

Change |
Comments |
| Added new housekeeping function to allow users to pack and optimise company files in order to maintain performance. |
Over time company files grow in size and the performance of
SliQ can be improved by packing the file. This is a little
like defragmenting a PC disk to make your PC faster. There is no need to pack company files more than once every 3 to 6 months. The packing function is accessed on a new Setup/ Housekeeping tab. |
| Added check on startup to find out if SliQ was shutdown correctly when last used, e.g. because the PC lost power. If an improper shutdown is detected, SliQ offers to check the company data for errors and perform a repair if necessary. | |

| Various improvements and corrections including improvements in the handling of different date periods and recurring invoices. |

|
Change |
Comments |
| SliQ Invoicing Plus now supports multiple companies. | Pressing the SliQ start button on the top left of the application gives access to New Company, Save Company As and Open Company File options. |
| It is now possible to save company data in any folder on your PC. | In V1, SliQ always saved data into the My Documents folder. In V2 you can choose to save a company file in any location you like by pressing the SliQ start button and choosing Save Company As. When SliQ is restarted it automatically loads the last company file you worked with, wherever it was saved on your PC. |
|
An invoice designer has been included. Note: This is only included in SliQ Invoicing Plus. |
The invoice designer allows users to edit the templates for
invoices, quotes, credit notes and statements as well as
save new versions of templates. User can change fonts, edit label text, move and delete items on the invoice such as the company name, terms and titles of fields. In addition columns can be resized and the columns included on invoices and statements can be configured on a per-template basis, e.g. the product code can be added as a column on invoice templates or the customer purchase order can be added as a column on a statement. Extra logos and pictures can also be added to templates. Creating new templates opens up the possibility of creating proforma invoice templates, should users wish to issue proforma invoices instead of quotes. SliQ allows users to edit the global template selections used by all invoices and quotes as well as associate different versions of customised templates with specific invoices and quotes. Specific statement templates can also be associated with customers. |
| The text associated with payment terms can now be edited. | In version 1, the payment term text was automatically set by SliQ from the term length. The text can now be freely edited allowing more flexibility, e.g. in translating payment terms into a language other than English. |
| It is now possible to automatically create a quote from an invoice. | In version 1 it was possible to create a quote froman invoice with a single button click, the reverse is now also true - one click creates a quote based on an existing invoice. |
| The customer data can now be exported to Excel. | A new option to do this has been added on the Customers & Statements tab. |
| The product data can now be exported to Excel. | A new option to do this has been added on the Products tab. |
| It is now possible to copy existing product details, i.e. create a new product or discount record based on an existing item. | |
| It is now possible to copy existing customer details, i.e. create a new customer record based on an existing item. | |
| A search box has now been added to the Invoices & Payments, Quotes, Customers and Statements and Products tab. | This allows very rapid searching for specific items. As you type into the search box, SliQ automatically filters the list displayed on the page to only show matching items. |
| The help file buttons now link to an online version of the help file. | The help file included in SliQ had become very large - it was almost 25% of the download size. By placing the help file online we have made SliQ 2 smaller than SliQ 1. We can also keep the help file up to date more easily. |
| A new Sales by Month report has been added. | This provides easy comparison of sales month-by-month and year on year. |
| Numerous usability improvements have been made. |
