Prism 1.11.0.875 Issues Addressed
Issue # | Title | Solution |
---|---|---|
11230 | Centrals - Implement Central Gift Card items |
We have now implemented central gift cards as line items. With this change we have also added Expiration dates and Max Value options for central gift cards.
|
13642 | Customers - Add, edit or delete customer UDF value on RP9 does not replicate to Prism | Code has been updated so that when users add, edit or delete customer UDF values in RP 9, the changes replicate to Prism. |
12805 | Need permission in Prism to limit user access to drop down only on UDF fields in customers. |
Three new permissions have been implemented that allow manual entry of UDF values in these areas:
The permissions may be set to Allow or Deny. Override will not be supported. |
13276 | Documents - Need committed quantities in Prism | Prism now consumes committed quantity data replicated from RP9. Availability checking has been updated to support "Check Available", based on known on hand and committed values. |
14728 | Doc Designer - Vendor Name and Address fields missing from PurchaseOrder schema | Vendor Contact First/Last Name, Address1-6, Phone1, Phone2 and Email fields have been added to the list of available fields for PO document designs. |
11852 | Doc Designer - Add the ability to initialize or export/import doc designs | Tables for doc designs were added to replication. User can now edit and create new document designs and they will replicate to the other Prism to Prism installs. Delete must be done at each station however. |
15025 | Employees - Password changes in prism do not replicate to v9 | Passwords changed in Prism now replicates to RetailPro 9. |
14154 | General System - Transaction lookup might crash the browser |
New functionality has been introduced to allow limiting searches for some areas the system. The following Server\Conf files will now be parsed for a [GETLIMIT] section: RPSRestServiceModule.ini, PrismBackOffice.ini, PrismCommon.ini, PrismMQService.ini The section its parameters is: |
11195 | General System: Develop Biometric login feature for Prism | Basic functionality for biometric registration and login is now implemented. The base requirement is to allow biometric entry wherever prompted for credentials. However, this doesn't extend to configuration areas. Biometrics are for 'live' credential application. |
7340 | General System: Out of memory error when trying to expand a large list of unprocessed records in DRS | Replication success and failure messages are now paged when viewed on the redesigned connection manager. Approximately 30 records are shown on each page. |
13883 | General System: When the server loses network connection or changes the network, replication processes will use up 100% of the CPU | Prism will not be able to handle changing IP address connections when going from a wired LAN on the docking station to the wireless connection when it is removed from the docking station. A refresh of the instance will be required. If users want to avoid this problem with the mobile devices they should only use the wireless connection for the device and disconnect the LAN line on the docking station. If a user has multiple access points that are ran in a cluster the user should be able to stay in the session they are in without interruption. cluster mode - allows you to handle the hand-off of network connection between access points transparently. If the user is using standalone wireless access points the TCP connection will be interrupted when your device is re-connecting to another access point. Even with clustered access points you still need to verify that you have a continuous coverage for the whole area without gaps or blind spots. But if they travel from access point to access points that are standalone, the session will require a refresh since there is a slight disconnect between access points. |
15103 | iOS: Prism Launcher 2.0 | The new Prism Launcher Application is a rewrite of the current Prism Launcher developed natively using Swift. The purpose is to improve upon the current app by adding new features, enhancing existing features and making it easier to support and further develop. Updates include: * New Home screen * Onboarding process to help users set up their Prism server connection upon first launch * Ability to manage server configurations from within the app * Ability to manage app settings from within the app * Ability to use the device's built-in camera to scan barcodes |
14927 | Installation: Removing the POA Installer from the Prism Server installer | Prism Server installation no longer prompts for the Join the Enterprise wizard. Tech Toolkit> Enterprise Manager now handles this functionality |
14802 | Installation: UAT - Please make the "FQDN of this Prism Server" box editable in the "Identify this installation" screen of the Server installation | The installer picks up the new host name of the machine and writes it back to the Prism registry. |
14699 | Inventory: Local inventory on hand is not updated by sales. On hand quantity updates can be skipped on MySQL systems if modifications are made to item before replication cycle completes | Changes were made to ensure inventory integrity is maintained when sales and inventory modifications are occurring simultaneously. |
13925 | Inventory: Item UDF and Aux need to be properly mapped between V9 and Prism | Code was corrected to allow the proper replication of AUX and UDF for item and customer |
12266 | Inventory: Inventory View clearing search criteria after every search (failed or not), this is a change in existing behavior | When filtering Inventory, searches are persisted until intentionally cleared.

12573 | POS: Add an option to select associate by typing in name | The Associate and Cashier fields on POS documents now allow typing to search for drop down entries nearest the characters typed |
11986 | POS: Need a permission that would restrict users from updating a receipt without putting an item on a receipt. Currently you can place a fee on the receipt and it lets the user tender. This is a loss prevention issue |
A new permission has been added to restrict users from updating a transaction without items. Located in the POS section in Admin Console. This permission will NOT be enforced in these cases: |
14924 | POS - Discounts: Inconsistent discount percent format between POS Item and Transaction Details | The discount percent field in POS Item Details, Transaction Details and document items will conform to the Language & Local number value for number of decimals to display and will not trim trailing insignificant zeros. |

14686 | Replication: Need the ability to publish prism preferences to a new install connected to the POA without having the user edit preferences at the POA | When joining an enterprise, Corporate, Subsidiary and Store level preferences which would normally only be sent during Prism day-to-day replication are included in the data exchanged during the joining operation. This allows the newly joined member to begin with the same preferences other systems in the enterprise have |

14347 | Replication: Cannot see receipt-regular and receipt-return in Prism | Both return and sales reason codes now replicate from RP9 to Prism as reasons for discarding a POS document |

Acting as a toggle, selecting "Count Denominations" will allow switching back to denomination counts. |
