New and Improved Features
-
Now, you have more options for entering Setup and Cleanup for events. From the Event record or a scheduling wizard, enter the number of minutes (as usual) or click Alt. for other choices. In the dialog box, you can either enter the times that Setup will start and Cleanup will end, or you can enter the number of hours and minutes for each. When you apply your changes, PDS converts your times into minutes.
- We created several new reports that show details about mass intentions. They're located under .
-
The first is called Mass Intention Stipend Totals. It lists each presider, along with the mass intentions they're performing (within the date range you selected) and each stipend amount. It shows the total number of intentions and total stipend amount for each presider, as well as the grand totals for all presiders.
-
There are two reports, Mass Intentions by Intention Name and Mass Intentions by Given By, that list each intention and its details.
-
The Available Mass Intention Times report lists the Masses that don't have any intentions scheduled.
-
Finally, there's an Available Mass Intention Worksheet. It's similar to the Available Mass Intention Times report, but it also includes blank lines so you can fill in information about the intention requested.
- We expanded the Facility Usage Report to include the organizations using each facility. You can also see the number of events being held per organization.

Corrections
- In certain situations, an error displayed while sending emails. The workaround was to clear the Disconnect and Reconnect After Every Email option. Now that this has been corrected, you no longer need to use the workaround unless you want to do so.
