What do mean
     It will be availiable with a link for download ?? Yippee 
 What can it do? Can we transfer everything across?

Not a download :-( I wish it was that easy. Because there is some data missing from George export I have had to create a utility which I need to run to do the importing. I will start a new topic with some instructions.

It imports all customers, debts and expenses.

It does not have any job history or anything else that is not availble in the export.

Thanks

is there a way that you can change the default settings on JOB .
so that i can have it set as standard
frequency set at 1 month
account as last set on last job
tax rate turned off

I think this would make it a lot faster with the input of JOBS
If i can set the program to these Defualts can you please tell me how.

Martin,

I can add it to the list of thing to do. I think its only a pain at the moment as your having to enter all your data. Once the bulk of data has been entered you will not use this screen again in the same way i.e. you will add/edit a few jobs a week.

You can set the vat rate to default to 0.00 if you are not vat registered. To do this, go to Tools->VAT Rates and set the primary rate to 0.00.

There is no way at present to default to account or frequency.

If you have your data in a spread sheet I could also import using the utility I have created to import George data. To see the format that I need this in goto www.windowcleanerpro.com/george.php

Thanks

thanks but i don't have it in a spreed sheet,going from pen and paper to pc,
I only thought i would ask, as you will be targeting people like myself as well as other software users and feel it's a more improved  way of seting up a program.

so what do i need to look for when buying a hand held device for wcp as i wouldn't want anything fancy just something basic to run the program and nothing else.

paul

I would also like to know. Have looked on net for anything running Windows Mobile 5.0 and the results are in the £100s.
Anyone know the cheapest as i'm not a fan of anything that is too expensive to be disposable.

[ronnie paton]

a couple of things, how do you put a purchase order on the invoice?
should the profits screen on accounts not show the cleans untill they have paid?
The calender should be able to say put appoints and things to do in not just the scheduled work!

[wightsurf]

I can't get to the details buton in accounts.
When i view the screen in accounts i can only see as far as this..

show values for...collect box.....from 1/08/2008....to
                                                                                  it stop here at... to

I want to get the details tab,or have i got it wrong.there is not scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.

I have just tested this on a smaller screen and I have missed off the scroll bars.

I have added them and will be available soon in the next update

I expect you are waiting for most feed back before next update but do you have any idea to how long that would be?

[mick hay]

Not sure if this has been asked already, but, when you have a week off, everything is showing a week behind on george. To get over this you have to manually one by one move every job forward a week to over come this.

Do you have a facility where as you can move everything forward a week?

[wightsurf]

Your not allowed time off 

[ianhannaford]

Your not allowed time off 

Lol...the update will be available today.

Since WCP is not based on a calendar view they jobs will just turn red. Once you do them they will fall back in line as expected. You can even choose whether the jobs is schedule from the due date or the date you actually did the clean.

A good feature would be an option to print an automatic worksheet which will print all due work to a certain date. without picking individual jobs to add to the sheet.

In George I have this option, i just go jobs/ print worksheet / to date/ then you pick your date then it prints everything which is due

Does it print everything that is due only on that day? What if you have overdue jobs? Also how would it work if you had a job for tomorrow, that you wanted to do today, maybe because you wanted to take tomrrow off or maybe you had someone to help for the day so you wanted to get more of your work done?

The other downside to not putting on a worksheet is the use of the End of Day quick entry screen.

Another users has asked for a report that will tell you all work due on (or between) a certain dates. I could extend this to automatically create the worksheet for a date that you select...for exmaple you would click 'Make worksheet by Date' button, choose your date and it will add all jobs due on that day. You would then be free to add/remove jobs as you wish and also have the additional functionality like End of day and sending to PDA etc...

Thanks for the idea

Hi Ian

I have an idea about selling your software to Apple, I have a I phone and it be great to have this program on my I phone, basically you can contact apple and have your software put in their Apple store, which all I phones users have them.
You put your software in their apple store and any window cleaner who wants it can pay a small fee and download it to their I phone. And Apple get a small fee from your sales.
I am sure that you can sell so much of your soft wear through most countries.

Regards

Bosh

It will print everything that is due or overdue, and even in advance , all you do is pick the date and it will print every uncomplete job up until the date you pick wether you want to pick your overdue work to last thursday only, today, yesterday, next week.

What I do every monday morning is to print my worksheets up until the coming saturday and that will give me every job until that date even includes jobs not completed from the last week.

Every evening i enter the days activities but dont have print any more work sheets.

You idea is good where say print evrything then remove the ones you dont want, i have a similar way , you just use a pen and scribble them off
