What's new
New Equipment Console
We have introduced a new Equipment Console tab and page with this release.
The new Equipment Console tab represents the next generation of the existing Equipment Calendar and Equipment Map into a combined page and new Lightning Web Component (LWC) implementation.
The Equipment Calendar LWC can be dropped into various pages including Equipment, Equipment Type, Contact, Account, Opportunity to display the calendar details specific to those pages.
The existing calendar and map tabs still exist but we recommend moving to the new Equipment Console.
Rental Taxes and Payments
The rental payments portal site now includes optional integration with Stripe Tax and Unaric Payments for payment processing.
You can activate your Stripe Tax (Taxjar) account with a new Custom Setting that will validate the appropriate tax rates for rentals based on the customer location. Integration with Unaric payments includes the ability to accept credit-card payments directly from the rental checkout screen.
New Purchase Order
We have introduced a Purchase Order tab and related Purchase Order and Purchase Order Lines object.
Purchase orders can be created against Equipment Types or Equipment records directly. Future releases will include an out-of-the-box Purchase Order PDF.
Availability Enhancements
We have update the Equipment Availability page to included an updated user experience, color-coded threshholds, and the ability to export the data to CSV/Excel.
The Equipment Availability button is available from the Equipment Type list view when activated.
Utilization Enhancements
We have update the Equipment Utilization page to included an updated user experience, and the ability to export the data to CSV/Excel.
The Equipment Utilization button is available from the Equipment list view when activated.
