🖼️ Inventory Improvements

You can now sort the Height, Width, and Depth columns separately in the Inventory, making it faster to organize artworks by their dimensions.

Note: Before sorting, you’ll need to add these columns to your grid. To do so:

• Hover over a column header until the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) appear.
• Check the boxes for "Height," "Width," and "Depth" to add these columns to the grid.
• In the example below, we’ve sorted the "Height" column from smallest to largest to arrange the artworks by their height.

🐛 Bug Fixes

We’ve addressed the following issues:

• Commas in custom field columns were not exporting properly in CSV files.
• The wrong number of Alt Views was displayed for artworks.
• When unarchiving multiple Alt Views, the count was not updating correctly, causing display problems.
• Captions for Alt Views could not be edited, reordered, or saved.
• Inventory live lists were not loading.
• The Location History filter in Inventory resulted in blank rows and inconsistent grid behavior.

🐛 Bug Fixes We fixed an issue where:

• Applying a status filter changes the order of the artwork.
• The “Last Name” filter in Contacts would load expected results.
• The “Exclude discount from subtotal” checkbox on an invoice did not work.

August 19, 2024

🧾 Improvements to Invoice You spoke, and we listened! You can now view Invoice Clickthrough Activity in the contact timeline 🎉. This allows you to track it alongside other activities like Smart Mail and shared links.

Additionally, changing the currency of an invoice will now automatically update the currency of its associated works 🎉 Previously, you needed to manually update the artwork prices, but now, when you set the currency for the invoice, it will also update the artwork prices accordingly. Please note that the currency change will only apply to the invoice, not the artwork’s general listing.

🖼️ Improvements to Inventory In the list view, you can now prioritize sorting by the artist’s first or last name.

• Clicking once on the “Details” header will sort by first name.
• Clicking twice will sort by last name.
• Artworks without artist names will be ordered last.

Note: The sorting is applied automatically and saved. You can also manually reorder by dragging and dropping artwork within the list.

🐛 Bug Fixes We fixed an issue where:

• Replacing an image for a work would update invoices that did not contain that work. This fix ensures that invoice thumbnails correctly display works associated with their respective invoices.
• When editing a classic invoice, the location of any works in the invoice was automatically set to the invoice’s location, creating unnecessary location history. This has been corrected.
• The time range filter was incorrectly displaying as “Date Range” to “Date Range” after selecting dates and reopening the filter, causing confusion. This has been fixed to reflect the exact dates applied.

August 15, 2024

🧾 Improvements to Invoice You can now filter invoices by the ones you’ve created! In the navigation bar, there is a new tab called “My Invoices.” Clicking on this tab will display a submenu that filters out only the invoices you have created.

💳 Improvement to Currency The Polish złoty (PLN) has now been added to the list of available currencies.

🐛 Bug Fixes We fixed an issue where:

• Generated inventory numbers were incorrect for some users.
• Invoice thumbnails showed artwork not associated with the invoice.
• Switching between contacts when editing in SmartMail lagged for some users.
• The selection cart was not loading all selected artwork from the search results.
• In the SmartMail pipeline, when dealing with offers involving many contacts, the selection cart didn’t respond to the entire selection in a timely manner.
