The biggest change was on the "Desktop Version (Module)." Some users complained that importing their data from the online version to the 'Desktop' was confusing.
The main reason for confusion was the fact that due to Google requirements the 'Sign In with Google' must start in the browser (instead of inside a desktop application). To comply with this requirement
the app had to open the browser so user could 'login'. Then, the user had to wait until the import operation was finished while the app itself was open and running. Any action by the user on the app before the
completion of import could have caused further confusion as the data was not yet completely transfered. We changed all that. Now:
the "Desktop Version" opens in the browser.
The address on the browser shows 'localhost' which means the app is running on the user computer and not online.
The app is also clearly labeled as 'Desktop'i>
Where is your local database? Just click on the button marked as 'Database Location' to see where it is.
It is highly recommended that you close the app when you are done by clicking on the button 'Close & Exit' on the lower left corner of the app window.
We also corrected and improved the employee 'Benefits' section of the 'Employee Info' Window. Now, it is more readable, more accurate and easier to set up.
The 'Check Register' Print button is now active. You can now create PDF and print the Register in ints entirety or for a specific period.
Just a reminder: 'Payroll Report' window has more detailed information than the 'Register' window and its print functionality has always been active.
