New Features - Build 2
 1. QuoteWerks now supports SalesLogix 6.2.

 2. Increased the supported length for the Document Number (DocNo) from 12 to 20.

 3. The print layout last selected when printing a specific document is now saved with the document so that next time you open the document and select File|Print, the print layout that you printed last time will be selected. This also applies when printing a quote, order, or invoice type layout. A separate last used layout will be stored for each document type for that document.

 4. When importing products, you can now specify which line of the import file you want to start importing from. This is useful for when the first line of data in the import file contains the column titles of the data, you can now not import that line.

 5. When importing products, added a new import option that only updates existing products and if an existing product is not found, then nothing is done for that product.

 6. When creating management reports, old revision documents where automatically filtered out so you could not report on them. Now, if you specify a filter for the DocumentHeaders.Superceeded field in the filter, the report will obey whatever setting you specify. Set the filter to Superceeded<>0 to only include old revisions in the results, or set the filter to Superceeded=0 to only include the current revision.

 7. For customers using the USA tax system, added new global "Shipping Is Taxable" option on the Installation tab of the Tools|Options menu. When checked any shipping amount will be subject to the tax rate specified in the document.

 8. Added new cover page macros &DH_&SoldToAddress, &DH_&SoldToFullAddress, &DH_ShipToAddress, &DH_&ShipToFullAddress, &DH_ShipVia

 9. In the contact lookup for the QuoteWerks contact database, there is now a "contains" operator search used when searching by company name.

 10. Added site.ini key BundleItemQuantityDisplayFormat under the [System] section. When set to 1, the quantity of the bundled item will not be displayed at the beginning of the description for that bundled item like "(2) Speakers" when printing the document.

 11. Added a refresh button to the File|Open window. This re-runs the search using the same filter crtieria. Useful when you have opened a quote from the list, made a change, saved the quote and then have come back to the File|Open window, clicking on Refresh will update that quotes data in the grid.

 12. In the backend api (qw4.dll) the Installations.Installation.Licensing.Licenses collection now fully populates with all the licensing information for the installation.

 13. When saving a new document the Document name is always blank and you need to type in a name. Many people type in the company name, date, and a brief description of the document. Now there is a new feature that you can customize to automatically default the document name to the company name and today's date! Customize this on the Document tab of the Tools|Options menu.

 7. When importing PriceModifier and CostModifier field values, the import process now upper cases the value (which is required)

 8. For the user access right "CannotModifyContactRecord", this security right now allows the user to click on the edit button to view a contact record, but prevents the user from saving changes to the contact record.
