Q Release V 3.7.0

Features & Functionality of Q Version 3.7.0 19 Last updated: 6/26/2019 Copyright © 2009-2019 Aequitas Solutions Inc. All rights reserved. 7365 Carnelian St, Suite 208, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 909.946.1600 www.myaequitas.com

• A new Locate button has been added to the Account banner. The Locate button brings up a search form that searches ALL accounts. The first column displays an asterisk if the account is currently in the banner. If the selected row is for an account not in the banner, the account can be added to the banner either Temporarily or Permanently. Temporarily adds it until the next time the app is loaded. Permanently sets a flag in the account record (Lock to Banner) that makes it always appear in the banner for the associated program.

• On Account Charges/Payments tab previously there was a Print button. Now there is a label ‘Print:’ followed by two buttons: o ‘Transactions’ will show the previous report. o ‘Summary of Account’ when selected runs the new EC Summary of Account report for the current account, date range, set of

transactions and void status from the settings for the grid. A report set may be selected. • On the Student Contacts tab ‘Type’ (Contact Type) now displays in the grid. • In the previous version, accounts with no schedule records appeared in the account banner when Inactive was chosen. With the

addition of the new Locate banner button, this no longer happens. The alternatives are: Find each account via the new Locate banner button and add temporarily or permanently to the banner or request a script that will set the ‘Lock in Banner’ flag for each account with no schedule records.
