Product Enhancements and New Features:

Initial Production Forecasting Data Enhancement (US Only)

You can now set your Schedule Day View to display production data for Scheduled, Remaining, and Posted dollar amounts for the current month, enabling you to easily view the value of what you have scheduled and posted for monthly production.

• This setting is enabled by location, and is also user specific, requiring the user to turn it on via the Manage Schedule View cog.
• Scheduled production amounts update for a given month whenever there is a change, such as new appointments being scheduled (with procedures included), or when existing appointments are edited, cancelled, or deleted.
• Posted amounts update in real time as production is posted, and refresh whenever the user reloads the Day View.
• The Remaining amount (today through end of month) updates daily.
• Amounts are based on service date.
• The current month displays scheduled, remaining, and posted amounts for the location.
• When you navigate to the previous month, you can see Scheduled and Posted amounts for the month. Months prior to the previous month display only the Scheduled amounts.
• Future months display production values for appointments scheduled in that month.
• Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar; more than 3 digits are truncated, (i.e., 1K, 4.2K, etc.)
  

Note: Posted values are gross production, and include any additional products and services posted for the time period. Discounts and write-offs are not factored in the totals.
