1.1.1 |
Oct. 10, 2002 |
ꠠAdded support for changing currency sign to Pound Sterling (যr quick
tender buttons and on prompts. Selecting 䠲emoves the 䠦rom reports
where applicable and on the pole display. The pound sterling character is
supported on most receipt printers but NOT most ticket printers. Therefore
there will be no sign on standard tickets. It is now possible to select
between 䠡nd 䠦rom the Options and Preferences in the terminal setup
program. |
|
1.1.2 |
Oct. 28, 2002 |
ꠠNo change in the management module but the Terminal Setup Utility has been updated.
See Terminal Client update for October 28, 2002. |
|
1.1.3 |
Oct. 31, 2002 |
ꠠFixed problem with showtime setup where the
incorrect seating capacity is displayed to the right of the auditorium select
spinner after the file had been saved. |
|
1.1.4 |
Nov. 18, 2002 |
ꠠAdded a Real-Time Attendance Tracker, Show1, Show2, Show3, etc. across all
features for the current business date. To run this utility, click the
lightning bolt icon or press the F2 key. ꠠAdded an Attendance Tracking Report, Show1, Show2, Show3, etc. across all
features for any selected reporting date, on the Daily Box Office Report Tabunder Daily Sales Reports. ꠠAdded capability to show a terminal as offline on the manager࣯mputer in cases
where the terminal was not closed down properly. ꠠReplaced the playdate.dll file which was corrupt on some systems making the
concession sales table not accept new entries. This was only affecting playdates created from scratch rather than those that
were created from templates. |
|
1.1.5, 1.1.6 |
Nov. 19, 2002 |
ꠠIncreased the size of the font used on the Gross/Attendance Report from 10
point to 14 point so that it is more legible if it is sent by fax. |
|
1.1.7 |
Dec. 5, 2002 |
ꠠAdded a double-check feature to the playdate
creation to ensure that the pricing is current when the new playdate is created both from templates and when created
without use of a template ꠠAdded ale䲡wer open option to security level setup. A level must be
set in order to limit no-sale rings to authorized individuals. The button
itself is in the terminal menu. See terminal update dated December 5 for more
information. |
|
1.1.8 |
Dec. 6, 2002 |
ꠠAdded a new report which shows tickets sold FOR today and what date the
ticket was originally sold on. The report is filterable by feature name and sortable by 9 different criteria, including date sold,
feature name and showtime. |
|
1.1.9 |
Dec. 8, 2002 |
ꠠAdded a single page Weekly Box Office Report. There is a radio selector
button found in the film rental options page of the Weekly Box Office Report
that defaults to the normal 3-page report design or lets you select the
one-page design layout. |
|
1.1.10 |
Dec. 25, 2002 |
ꠠFixed a bug in the terminal that recorded when (what day) a ticket sold in
advance for today was sold. It was incorrectly recording the playdate as the date sold making all tickets appear as
sold same-day. This leads to an improvement in the 襮 Sold⥰ort, now
called 䶡nced Ticketing Report毵nd on the Tickets sold Today first
screen in the Daily Reporting. Because prior days of advance sales may have
incorrectly recorded the sale date in the history file it may be out of balance
until new playdates are created and advance tickets
are sold for future playdates from those newly
created playdates. Rely on the figures only when
you are sure you are in new playdate territory. ꠠAdded a summary only format and a field showing the sales of advance tickets
for future dates. |
|
1.1.11 |
Dec. 26, 2002 |
ꠠAdded a ⩮t 2 per page㨥ckbox for Daily Box Office Reports |
|
1.1.12 |
Dec. 26, 2002 |
ꠠAdded the capability to setup a preferred printer driver for ticketing, receipts
and for reports. This eliminates the need to change from one printer to
another if using a single computer for multiple functions such as tickets and
reports for example. The drivers are selected in the terminal setup utility
program and the settings, once applied, affect only the computer workstation
and it쯳pan> settings are saved in the Windows Registry. You
must update the manager and terminal components in order to use both on a
single computer. |
|
1.1.13 |
January 15, 2003 |
ꠠWorked a bit on the 请 Terminal Offlineton so that it does not give a
鬥 locked岲or as often. डted
copyright notices with 2003 dates ꠠCompiled EXE file to favor Intel८tiumಯcessors |
|
1.1.14 |
January 18, 2003 |
ꠠChanged file compilation to P-code and reduced file size by 50%. ꠠImproved database repair utility and included a standalone version that can
be run outside the program. |
|
1.1.15 |
February 11, 2003 |
ꠠAdded attendance total to Weekly Box Office Report (On old playdates it will be necessary to open them in the Daily
Sales window and press the ᶥ Daily Reportton in order to kick the
data over to where it can be found and added to a weekly sales summary.) |
|
1.1.16 |
February 18, 2003 |
ꠠAdded Gift Certificate Redemption for dollar valued gift certificates (for
instance those worth a dollar amount as opposed to those with a specific
value unknown) to the ticketing clients and this management update shows
tracked redeemed gift certificates under the cash balance tab, daily sales
summary and weekly sales summary. ꠠAdded a terminal sales option that requires the cashier to confirm the
intention to sell an advance-day ticket prior to the tickets being printed.
This enables the cashier to avoid accidentally printing up tickets for the
wrong day. This feature will be on by default unless you go to the Master
Configuration, Ticketing Options Tab, and turn it off. ꠠThe management client will now automatically update remote database files in
situations where the manager station is not acting as the file server as soon
as someone runs the software on that workstation. |
|
1.1.17 |
February 25, 2003 |
橸ed a bug where if a dollar
amount was erased completely from a field in the cash drawer balance screen
or daily sales summary screen without putting anything in it쯳pan>
place, the form totals would not recalculate until the next time the report
tab was clicked as they would have if the erased amount was replaced with
.䨩s has been fixed in this release. ᳠I stated last week an update was
already in the works to add some new cash management features, notably the
capability to get sales for and cash out a specific cashier. A button has
been added to the Daily Reporting/Cash Balance Tab that takes you to the
cashier balance worksheet screen. In order to make this worksheet meaningful,
each cashier would have to have his or her own user name and password on the
system. ᤤitionally, for added security
and peace of mind I have added the ability to 㳩gnᠣashier to a
particular terminal. A terminal can be set to allow any cashier, only a
specific cashier or no cashier (A cashier being a person with a security level
of 79 and lower)쯳pan>while a manager (a
person with security level 80 or higher) may log onto any terminal at any
time. To assign a cashier, click the 衮ge Userton on the Manager튠 Main menu and choose the new 崨orize Terminal Client Users㨯ice. From
there you select a user to assign to the desired terminal. Remember, other
users are locked out when a cashier is assigned. the cashier can secure her
terminal by touching the Change User button in the terminal and selecting
壵re Terminal/Walk Away.ﮬy her user ID and password (or a manager鍊 will be accepted to log back into the terminal again. 䨥 user can turn off the
崯matic file save䩡log boxes by unchecking
the option in the report options setup, Master Program Configuration in the
management program. |
|
1.1.19 |
March 25, 2003 |
㨡nged the Usher/Projectionist
Showtime Report to Portrait mode, allowing 10 features per page displayed on
the report. ᤤed the capability of printing
the Showtimes from the Master Showtime Template ᤤed additional filtering criteria for Ticketing Detail Reports: 请 Refunds on Tickets Sold Today for Todayꠠand 请 Refunds on Advance Tickets Sold Todayﺰ> 楡ture editing fields are now
locked when in the Edit Playdate/Feature Edit mode
until the user clicks a new button ck Feature for Editing稩ch will
display a warning message suggesting to the user that he should really set up
a movie in the Master Feature Template then import the feature into the playdate rather than setting up a new feature in a playdate. |
|
1.1.20 |
April 8, 2003 |
橸ed a bug which caused an
楲flow岲or in the showtime setup when the
user reduced the number of screens in a complex (in the master configuration)
to a number lower than one of the Showtimes was configured for. In other
words, if a show is set for screen #10 and the complex is changed to 6
screens in the master program configuration it would raise the overflow error
and crash. This has been corrected so that a message is displayed and normal
operation is resumed thereafter. 鮠the Master Configuration
-changed the security settings to allow for setting up the level required to
issue a refund separately from the level required to exit the terminal. Now
you can allow a cashier to exit the terminal but not allow that cashier to
issue a refund if desired. Until this is independently set each level will
remain on the level once assigned to both. 鮠the Daily Reports, made the Cash
Balance Report and Daily Sales Summary worksheets auto save upon exit rather
than requiring the user to press save. |
|
1.1.21 |
April 21, 2003 |
ᤤed a time/date stamp to the
bottom of all printed hourly and daily reports |
|
1.1.22 |
April 30, 2003 |
橸ed a bug where if switching
between the Daily Box Office Report tab and Transaction tab in Daily Reports,
nothing would happen unless another tab was clicked first ᤤed a message that tells the user
that the Daily Reports do not update in real time and must be refreshed by
re-opening at the calendar dateclick. |
|
1.1.23 |
May 8, 2003 |
橸ed a bug where Detailed
Attendance Report would not save to Excel format. |
|
1.1.24 |
May 9, 2003 |
橸ed a bug where if a blank user
name existed it would cause a lockout of the management console. |
|
1.1.25 |
May 10, 2003 |
橸ed a bug created when adding
timestamps (1.1.21) that would cause a font corruption if any report
containing a timestamp was exported/saved in PDF format. Apparently just the
word 魥stamp硳 enough to cause Acrobat to freak out. Changing the name
corrected the issue. |
|
1.1.26 |
June 3, 2003 |
㯲rects a problem with the playdate template whereas a $125 deposit line item under the
heading 䨥rᰰears in the Daily Sales Summary on playdates
that are created �y.䯥s not affect playdates
where the features were imported from the master feature template upon
creation. This patch ensures that that is 0 on each new playdate
created. |
|
1.1.27 |
June 4, 2003 |
ᤤed a keystroke filter to the
short title field in the feature setup to prevent symbol characters that could쯳pan>interfere
with file naming conventions when a weekly report is generated for saving.. |
|
1.1.28 |
June 5, 2003 |
橸ed a bug that prevented the
printing of a master showtime report and caused an
endless loop of errors from which the user had to crash the session if the
attempt to print the report was done while sales terminal(s) were running. |
|
1.1.29 |
June 6, 2003 |
橸ed a bug that prevented the
creation of the cashier balance individual report due to Object Not Found
(Error 424) |
|
1.1.30 |
August 1, 2003 |
ᤤed additional database fields to
Transaction tables in playdates allowing for error
reporting and notation of when and who was responsible for opening the drawer
for a NO SALE ⥴ter notification upon startup
when the database is not connected. New screens give suggestions for
restoring the failed network connection. 室er Daily Sales Reports added the
ALEᮤ ⒏R LOG㯬umns to the screen version of the Transactions
report. 橸ed a bug where the program would
crash if the printer originally set up for reports was later deleted in the
Control Panel but the user never selected a new printer in the Terminal Setup
utility under printer drivers. Now, if the original printer no longer exists
the system will automatically switch to the printer currently designated as
Windowथfault printer. |
|
1.1.31 |
October 21, 2003 |
ᤤed a serial number to the playdate file so that it is easily determined if a playdate file has been deleted 쳰an class=SpellE>Playdate

|
1.1.33 |
January 4, 2004 |
ᤤed a web page or simple listing
style showtime report to the Showtimes screen found
under playdate setup/showtimes. This allows the
user to easily create an HTML page for a day෯rth of showtimes. HTM is the
default file save format but DOC, PDF, RTF, XLS and TXT formats are
available. 粯ss and attendance report now
includes a column showing the unrounded gross admissions as well as rounded
gross admissions. 䨥 请 1-2-3ᴴendance Report
now allows you to save the report in PDF, DOC, HTM, RTF, XLS and TXT. A file
save dialog appears after closing the print preview window if the option to
save files is turned on in the Reports Options tab of the Master Program
Configuration. |
|
1.1.34 |
January 8, 2004 |
橸ed a problem in Daily Box Office
Report where when the two (2) reports per page option was selected and the
system had an odd number of movies the report engine sometimes failed to
print the final movie by itself on an additional page. The problem was caused
by a bug in the ActiveReports宧ine (specifically
in the pagebreak ActiveX㯮trol) and solved by
means of a workaround in our software where we padded the last page enough to
cause the start of an additional page. |
|
1.1.35 |
January 9, 2004 |
⥰laced ᮫erүunding穴h
帴 Integer⯵nding function for determination of call-in grosses. The
original Visual Basic rounding function used Bankerүunding to better
average the numbers but to be correct when submitting grosses, numbers over
.50 should be rounded up, therefore we created a different rounding function
for this purpose. |
|
1.1.36 |
January 20, 2004 |
橸ed where the terminal nicknames
would not immediately change when on a skinned main menu screen 㨡nged live attendance so that

reversing 崒 and ⯳s楲biage |
|
1.1.38 |
March 1, 2004 |
橸ed a problem calculating refunds
in the Advanced Ticketing Report where the refunds were reported as done on
the playdate rather than the sales date the refund
was paid on. This requires that the terminal update also be done so that
future refunds post in the Advance and Hourly Sales Reports for the proper
date. This will not fix prior reports. |
|
1.1.39 |
March 5, 2004 |
橸ed a problem with the Web
Showtimes Report where an error 424 ⪥ct not found篵ld occur on some
machines. |
|
1.1.40 |
April 17, 2004 |
橸ed a problem with the ad message
setup in the Master Feature Template and in the Playdate
Setup where the bottom of the screen does not return after selecting the
message because it is covered by something else. 橸ed a problem where if the user
set up a new movie then pressed the Setup Showtimes button without hitting
डte橲st the new film setup would not be saved. ᤤed a graphical topper to the
manager program main menu. |
|
1.1.41 |
June 21, 2004 |
ᤤs capability to calculate
concession per capita for theatres that donll concessions through the
point-of-sale system. This is done by setting up the option from the
manager࣯mputer under Master Program Configuration, Report Options Tab via
a new button in the revenue categories setup. The amount of concession sales must then be manually entered into the
first revenue field on the Daily Sales Summary and the per cap is
determined by dividing this amount by the dayࡴtendance rather than the concession
line above for those sales generated through the POS. ᤤed concession per capita to the
weekly sales summary report �e the report type (single page
or three page) last selected when using the weekly box office report wizard
remain the default choice for the next time the wizard is run. |
|
1.1.42 |

2.00 |
June 1, 2005 |
New Features and Changes with Box Office for Windows Version 2.0 1. Gift Cards Sales and Redemption of gift cards on
the Mercury platform are supported while the capability of accepting
previously issued legacy paper gift certificates is retained. Added
associated fields to all reports affected. Future sales of
paper gift certificates is not supported through the terminal program.
Special provisions for using gift cards as a means to provide a refund to a
customer have been made. A separate gift card to䯣ument will show the
cashier the steps necessary to perform most required gift card functions. All
gift card receipts (for purchases paid for with the card as well as gift card
issuance and recharge transactions) will show the balance remaining on the
gift card account. A simple way to obtain the account balance is provided in
the gift card administration. All receipts also print the account balance at
the bottom. 2. Weekly Concession Item Sales Report is a new report that calculates the total number
sold of each item you sell for a period of one to seven days. This is found
by clicking ﮣession Inventory室er 尯rts鮠the managerୡin
menu. 3. Credit Card Returns/Voids Returns may now be swiped rather than
being manually keyed in. 4. Screen Fonts changed to permit font smoothing
by Cleartype䥣hnology. The Microsoft San Serif raster screen
font has been replaced with the Arial font which allows you to take advantage
of the new ClearType浮ction that smoothes screen
fonts improving readability. To turn the feature on in Windows press the
Start Button> select Control Panel> double-left-click Display Icon>
select the థarance䡢> press the 榥ctston > Check the
second checkbox from the top and select 㰡n class=SpellE>ClearTypeꠠin the drop down list. A Cleartype㯮figuration
program is available for download from sensiblecinema.com and Microsoft. 5. Receipt Style printed tickets now print the
screen number larger. Screen number is shown in a bracketed
field to the right of the feature title on receipt style tickets in the
largest resident font available for this printer. 6. Weekly BOR Added check number field to printed
report. 7. Gift Certificates Redemption To prevent operator entry error and
mischief in the gift certificates redeemed field, your cashier may be
prevented from entering a redeemed dollar amount greater than the amount of
the sale or optionally you may set an amount over the sale that is allowed. 8. Concession Numeric Keypad Item Qty. Limit To prevent operator entry error and
mischief in the concession module, the maximum number of an item that can be
keyed using the numeric keypad is now 20.ꠠIf the number entered is over 10, a confirmation message will now be
displayed. 9. Bugfix> Split Tender If cash was entered as a tender
amount and the cashier intended to charge the balance on a credit card, the
entire amount of the sale would be charged to the card. Now, any cash
tendered will be deducted from the sale amount when the balance is charged to
a credit card. 10. Terminal #12 (PrintTix
Terminal) If this terminal is logged in and it
is a PrintTix terminal it will not prevent you from
changing the business date. If this terminal is logged in and it is a PrintTix terminal it will not prevent you from editing
the current playdate even if it is the current
business date. 11. Bugfix> Per-Capita weekly total on Weekly Summary
Report Previously, the total of the
per-capita shown for the week was an average of the individual daily
per-capita figure. This was incorrect and often skewed by one or more bad or
good individual days. Now the report correctly divides the weekly concession
sales total by the total attendance for the week. 12. Printer Test added to the terminal setup utility for the
purpose of printing a test ticket without having to start the terminal client
program. 13. Concession Page Displayed at Startup can be selected so that items 51-100 display at startup
rather than the first 50 items for concession stations used as ᦩꠠoffering a different menu of items than at the other stations. Items can
still be sold from both pages. 14. Credit Card Account Number is as before truncated to the last five digits on
the customer credit card receipt and now the expiration date is also hidden
on the customer copy. For the first time, the card account number is now
truncated on the merchant copy as well. The Mercury Pay merchant reporting
shows the first 11 digits of the card number and expiration should the
authorized account manager need access to the entire account number and
expiration. 15. Gift Certificate Amount Redeemed can now be limited to the value of the sale only
or up to $XX.00 over the amount of the sale with the remainder given in cash
as change. 16. Added clear buttons to the amt tender area of the sales
screen that make it possible to quickly clear a field back to $0.00. 17. Concession Terminals now allow the user to view the ticketing screen
to find out showtimes and feature end times, screen numbers, ratings and run
times. Press the ticket button at the bottom left of the sales screen.
崵rn to Ticketingᮤ the ticketing button on the 巠Sale䩡log are
still disabled as are the buttons that would allow ticket sales at these
terminals. If ticket sales are desired at a particular concession register,
this full capability can be licensed for $300.쯳pan> 18. Schedule Printing feature found in the dialog opened by pressing the ton now includes the capability of printing a schedule that includes ALL features. For a schedule of an advance day, first select the advance playdate on the terminal then press ꠠand ⩮t All Schedules.ﺰ> 19. Screen Resolution is automatically changed to 800 x 600 when the
terminal is started and returned to the former resolution after the terminal
is exited. If the computer is already set for the programथfault
resolution, nothing is changed. 20. Smaller Credit Card Receipts are now available for receipt printer users.
These smaller receipts will use one inch less paper per copy, two inches
total savings for the customer and merchant copy. To select the smaller
receipt, go to the merchant account settings in the Terminal Setup Utility
and select under ഩons.䨥 results are designed for use with the Epson
TM-T88II and TMT88III printers with the Epson TM-T88II driver. Results may
vary with other printers and drivers. 21. Mouse cursor may now be hidden when using a touch monitor (not recommended if using
a mouse). To hide the cursor: In the terminal setup utility open ⥦erences
and Optionsᮤ select the checkbox under ﵣh Screens䯠Hide your
cursor during program operation. When the terminal starts up your mouse
pointer will disappear. It will re-appear when the terminal is exited. 22. Bugfix> Cashier Balance Page Over short figure on the top line
display was incorrect on amounts over $1000 because the comma acted as a
delimiter. The comma was removed. 23. Bugfix> Daily Sales Summary Added auto save capability. The
weekly summary was often missing numbers if the user failed to hit the Save
(now Update) button. A note regarding Credit Card Account
Numbers:쯳pan>These have never been stored anywhere on your
computer hard drive and do not transmit anywhere but to the processing
server. |

橸ed a potential problem where if the log-in screen was currently
running on the terminal(s) when the manager changed the business date the
terminal would still log in at whatever the old business date was unless he
exited first and re-started. This fix ensures that if the log in screen is
running and a user logs in that the business date is checked a second time
before the terminal startsring sales are posted to the correct date. |

ᤤed a border around the tender section of the screen that
appears in green between sales and red during a sale to help the cashier see
when a sale has been left incomplete. This may be turned on/off in the
terminal setup and the border size may be set according to preference. |

⥧arding Receipt Printers with attached printer driven cash
drawers䤥d option for ut䲩ver for stopping the printer-driven cash
drawer from leaving slivers of cut paper after the drawer opened. A standard
崔 driver must be installed as the default printer. A ut䲩ver is
selected in the printer-driven cash drawer setup (in the terminal setup
utility) that must match the name of the ut䲩ver installed in
Windows. This driver is used during the pulse of the drawer rather than the 崔
driver to eliminate the paper cut that occurred when the drawer was pulsed. |

1.1.1 |
Oct. 10, 2002 |
ᤤed support for changing currency sign to Pound Sterling (튠 for quick tender buttons and on prompts. Selecting 䠲emoves the 䠦rom
reports where applicable and on the pole display. The pound sterling
character is supported on most receipt printers but NOT most ticket printers.
Therefore there will be no sign on standard tickets. It is now possible to
select between 䠡nd 䠦rom the Options and Preferences in the terminal
setup program. |
|
1.1.2 |
Oct. 28, 2002 |
ᤤed capability of
having a separate printer for receipts (store receipts and credit card
receipts). This means you can print tickets on a ticket printer and
optionally send receipts to a POS receipt printer like an 80mm thermal
receipt printer. By default, tickets and receipts are printed to the same
printer. To set up a separate receipt printer, open the Terminal Setup
Utility and select Receipt Printer Setup. If only using a single printer the
Ticket Printer setup will be used. |

*Critical Update: Fixes
a bug detected that caused the incorrect date to print on tickets and in the
detail log if the cashier pressed the ﭯrrowᤶance ticket button and no
playdate was found or if a prior playdate was selected and of course not allowed. If no playdate was found or the date selected was in the past,
the system returns the playdate correctly to the
default date but failed to stop printing the incorrect date selected on the
tickets and in the log, making those tickets sold appear for the day as if
they were advance sales or prior days. |

ᤤed an error trap to
trap for Error #3219 (Operation not allowed in this context) which was caused
by a database requery action in the seats
sold/seats remaining update just following a completed ticket printing action.
Error handler will now refresh the database then requery
as needed, finish the procedure and exit the routine. |

1.1.6 |
Dec. 5, 2002 |
ᤤed a ﭓaleꠠbutton that will open the cash drawer on systems with serial and printer
driven cash drawers attached. To control who has access to the no-sale
feature you may set up a security level in the management software master
configuration (version 1.1.7 or later) and the user must have this minimum
level in order to open the drawer. 魰roved error message
3021 so that it describes the problem meaningfully. This error occurs when
there are no movies available for a playdate or all
have the allow sales flag unchecked. |

1.1.7 |
Dec. 21, 2002 |
橸ed where the Boca/Datamax/Practical tickets for ticket category #8 would
have the ticket number blank on the patron half of the ticket. This did not
affect numbering or reporting in any way. |
|
1.1.8 |
Dec. 25, 2002 |
橸ed where the proper
date of original sale of a ticket was not being preserved on pre-sold ticket
logs thus making the 襮-sold⥰ort have the incorrect totals for those
sold on previous dates. There will also be a management update dated 12/25. |
|
1.1.9 |
Dec. 26, 2002 |
ᤤed the capability
to setup a preferred printer driver for ticketing, receipts and for reports.
This eliminates the need to change from one printer to another if using a
single computer for multiple functions such as tickets and reports for
example. The drivers are selected in the terminal setup utility program and
the settings, once applied, affect only the computer workstation and it쯳pan> settings are saved in the Windows Registry. You must
update the manager and terminal components in order to use both on a single
computer. |

ᤤed a seats remaining
progress bar. The feature is turned on by default but may be turned off in
the terminal setup utility, terminal options and preferences. A blue bar
resembling a fuel gauge shows 100% when no seats have been sold and decreases
in size as seats are sold. �e the 㴱:City
st="on" w:st="on"> 膩x) Showtime button
was supposed to turn yellow when the seats sold number was equal to the
number (percentage) of seats sold set up in the Master Program Settings under
Ticketing Options. It was actually turning the button yellow when seats
remaining hit that number rather than treating it as a percentage. (So if it
were set at 80% instead it would turn the button yellow when 80 or fewer
seats remained. This has been fixed. 毲 users who have the
ᬥ Completed䩡log turned off I have changed the behavior of the system
after the sale of an advance day ticket. Before, it would return to the
business date without notice. Now, it shows the ﮴inue selling advance
tickets for (date)䩡log, allowing the cashier to decide whether or not to
return to the business date. ᤤed a ment Endꠠcommand to the ⩮t Schedule for Patron⯵tine so that the paper comes
out of the printer if it failed to do before. (Epson Thermal Printers) 㯭piled EXE file to

outside a sale. ᤤed a Red 䶡nceꠠticketing flag that appears above the playdate when
the day being sold for is any day OTHER than the current business date. This
makes it easy to distinguish between same day sales and advance sales. �e the ᬥs Date

February 18, 2003 |
ᤤed Gift Certificate
Tendering for gift certificates that are based on a dollar amount. Gift
certificates redeemed show up in the cash drawer balance, daily sales summary
and weekly sales summary. ᤤed backspace,
hyphen and apostrophe keys to the user log-in screen. ᤤed a confirmation
option which requires the cashier to confirm the intention to print
advance-day tickets in order to avoid accidental sales for the incorrect
date. This is turned on by default but may be disabled in the Management
Software, Master Program Configuration, Ticketing Options tab. 鮠concessions mode,
corrected a problem where the 衮ge Userᮤ 宵tons would remain
disabled in the event a sale was cancelled instead of completed to the end. ᤤed a ale has
been made�sage which will appear if the cashier attempts to tender a sale
when no tickets or concessions had been sold. Careless cashiers would enter
the amount of the customer payment into the payment tender windows before
even printing a ticket or selling any items. This would cause the 㴱:City

1.1.18 1.1.19 |
February 25, 2003 A second edition: This update fixes a bug discovered after the file was on the
server. |
䨥 credit card processing terminal response window is now
color coded. Red, do not swipe the card, Green background, swipe the card,
Blue background, processing the transaction. Additionally, the routines are
more interactive, prompting the user in more meaningful ways. 鮠the last release we added a red 䶡nced Ticketing�e flag. In this release we have added an optional ﮦirm Intention to Print Advance Ticketsలompt that appears when the ⩮tton is pushed and the playdate is ahead of the current day. This allows the cashier to abort the printing of advance tickets before they are printed if done so in error. By default, this will be turned but if desired you may turn it off in the Management software, Master Program Settings, Ticketing Options tab under ⥦erences.ﺰ> 橸ed a spurious error that appeared on systems not processing
credit cards that told the cashier once per session that the merchant account
was invalid. Also fixed some places where the credit card forms were removed
from the screen but failed to remove from memory. |
|
1.1.20 |
April 8, 2003 |
橸ed a bug where if the show was sold out and the cashier
selected when asked whether to oversell or not and then for whatever
reason the cashier shut down the terminal, no tickets would be punched but the
total amount would be remembered and the ᬥ in progress䩡log would
appear and add the amount to the amount tend window, causing the cash to
disagree with actual ticket sales 稥n combined with version 1.1.20 of the management component,
this version allows you to have a separate level required for issuing a
refund than the level set for exiting the sales terminal. |
|
1.1.21 |
April 21, 2003 |
ᤤed capability of resizing the feature title window in the
terminal. This feature by default is turned OFF but may be turned on by
checking the checkbox 쬯w Feature Window Resizing毵nd in the Terminal
Setup Utility under ⥦erences and Options䨥n restarting the terminal.
Once activated, a button will appear at the top right of the feature window
and allow resizing to cover the user and menu buttons and the playdate select window (3 size choices total). Also, the
grid size resize control found in the terminal menu now allows increments of
50 rather than 100 pixels, allowing further fine tuning of the control. |
|
1.1.22 |
April 30, 2003 |
橸ed credit card processing window where a declined
transaction due to a duplicate transaction would not display the DUPLICATE
TRANS message. Now it explains that the OVERRIDE DUPLICATE TRANS button can
be pressed to solve the decline. ᤤed a Lton on the menu page that will display the
current terminal total, cash credit card and gift certificate tendered totals
if the user has privileges to view the sales grid. |
|
1.1.23 |
May 9, 2003 |
Changed some error handling code with regard to transaction
collisions to ensure the user is aware if a transaction is rejected by the
Microsoft Jet database engine. Other code has not been changed, no bugs are
fixed and no new features are added in this update. |

CRITICAL
UPDATE |

1.1.25 |
August 1, 2003 |
ᤤed support for Practical Automation PLTX and ULTX printers
by removing some FGL code that was incompatible with the model. ᤤed a new onnection to Server岲or message which
offers suggestions to the user for solving the problem when the network
server connection fails. ᤤed a routine to automatically repair the RECEIPT.MDB
database file should it become corrupted. A notation of the repair is made to
the transaction log. ᤤed fields to the date discrepancy warning that will show
the current business date and current system date so the user can identify
where the problem lies, including suggestions for fixing the problem. |
|
1.1.27 |
January 20, 2004 |
橸ed problem where the ㅒton would remain in a state
dimmed and disabled after concession items were rung then removed but sale
was never made. ᤤed a ᮡgement overrideﰴion where a manager with
access level 80 or higher can override (void, refund, etc) while another user
is still logged in the terminal. Manager presses USER then logs in and a
screen offering the option for override appears. This means a manager can
refund/void items on the employeeࡣcount thereby eliminating confusion and
shortages where items have been refunded/voided on
managerࡣcounts in the past because the manager had to log in under his
own name to perform these actions. A reminder comes up after each sale to
alert the manager he/she is still in override mode. ಯblems with receipt printing: If this release causes
receipts to print incorrectly, change your settings in the terminal setup
utility to ensure the proper drivers and settings are selected. Workarounds
had been used in cases where the drivers failed to switch. ᤤed support for APG Brand Cash drawers ⥭oved the rarely used $60 Cash Tender Button and replaced it
with a dynamic tender button that will automatically take on the value of the
next whole dollar above the total sale amount. The $100 button has been moved
left so that this dynamic tender button is next to the EC (Exact Change) key.
For example, a sale amount of $7.25 would cause this button to read $8. |
|
1.1.27쯳pan>Revision |
January 22, 2004 |
ⵧ Fix: The new dynamic tender button was enabled when the
terminal was first started causing the terminal to abruptly close if someone
pushed it. |

ᤤed additional credit card swipe time to terminal and fine
tuned credit card process sequence. |
|
1.1.30, 1.1.31 |
March 1, 2004 |
橸ed a problem calculating refunds in the Advanced Ticketing
Report where the refunds were reported as done on the playdate
rather than the sales date the refund was paid on. This requires that the
terminal update also be done so that future refunds post in the Advance and
Hourly Sales Reports for the proper date. This will not fix prior reports. 䨥 font for the main selling screen may now be changed in the
terminal setup utility (Preferences and Options). This means non-raster
(TrueType) fonts can be used in place of the MS Sans Serif font to take
advantage of the 㰡n class=SpellE>ClearTypeﰴion for smoothing
screen fonts, a function that only works on TrueType fonts such as ⩡l,ꠠᨯmaᮤ 魥s New Roman.䨥 font for the feature grid is still
separate. ⥰laced the standard XP titlebars
in the terminal with titlebars like in earlier
Windows versions. Some clever cashiers maneuvered the rounded titlebars in XP and managed to gain access to the Windows
desktop by exploiting the area in the pie slice shaped area around the
corners of the rounded titlebars. |
|
1.1.32 |
March 17, 2004 |
Fixed a problem where the terminal would crash if a totals
report was run from the menu (with gmt. Access) and
there were no transactionsꠠin the database. |
|
1.1.33 |
April 1, 2004 |
Truncated the Mercury Payment Systems merchant number on printed
receipts so that only the 11 numbers appear rather than the 11 digits
followed by = and the word assigned to your account. The proper merchant number
including the = and text is still transmitted to the payment server. |

June 1, 2005 |
New Features and Changes with Box Office for Windows Version 2.0 3.. Gift Cards Sales and Redemption of gift cards on the Mercury platform are supported
while the capability of accepting previously issued legacy paper gift
certificates is retained. Added associated fields to all reports affected. Future sales of paper gift certificates is not supported
through the terminal program. Special provisions for using gift cards as a
means to provide a refund to a customer have been made. A separate gift card
to䯣ument will show the cashier the steps necessary to perform most
required gift card functions. All gift card receipts (for purchases paid for
with the card as well as gift card issuance and recharge transactions) will
show the balance remaining on the gift card account. A simple way to obtain
the account balance is provided in the gift card administration. All receipts
also print the account balance at the bottom. 2.
Weekly Concession Item Sales Report is a new report that calculates
the total number sold of each item you sell for a period of one to seven
days. This is found by clicking ﮣession Inventory室er 尯rts鮠the
managerୡin menu. 3.
Credit Card Returns/Voids Returns may now be swiped rather than being manually keyed in. 4.
Screen Fonts changed to permit font smoothing by Cleartypeꠠtechnology. The Microsoft San Serif raster screen font has been replaced
with the Arial font which allows you to take advantage of the new ClearType浮ction that smoothes screen fonts improving
readability. To turn the feature on in Windows press the Start Button>
select Control Panel> double-left-click Display Icon> select the
థarance䡢> press the 榥ctston > Check the second
checkbox from the top and select 㰡n class=SpellE>ClearType鮠the
drop down list. A Cleartype㯮figuration program
is available for download from sensiblecinema.com and Microsoft. 5.
Receipt Style printed tickets now print the screen number larger. Screen number is shown in a bracketed field to the right of the
feature title on receipt style tickets in the largest resident font available
for this printer. 6.
Weekly BOR Added check number field to printed report. 7. Gift
Certificates Redemption To prevent operator entry error and mischief in the gift
certificates redeemed field, your cashier may be prevented from entering a
redeemed dollar amount greater than the amount of the sale or optionally you
may set an amount over the sale that is allowed. 8.
Concession Numeric Keypad Item Qty. Limit To prevent operator entry error and mischief in the concession
module, the maximum number of an item that can be keyed using the numeric
keypad is now 20.쯳pan>If the number entered
is over 10, a confirmation message will now be displayed. 9. Bugfix> If cash was entered as a tender amount and the cashier intended
to charge the balance on a credit card, the entire amount of the sale would
be charged to the card. Now, any cash tendered will be deducted from the sale
amount when the balance is charged to a credit card. 10.
Terminal #12 (PrintTix Terminal) If this terminal is logged in and it is a PrintTix
terminal it will not prevent you from changing the business date. If this
terminal is logged in and it is a PrintTix terminal
it will not prevent you from editing the current playdate
even if it is the current business date. 11. Bugfix> Per-Capita
weekly total on Weekly Summary Report Previously, the total of the per-capita shown for the week was
an average of the individual daily per-capita figure. This was incorrect and
often skewed by one or more bad or good individual days. Now the report
correctly divides the weekly concession sales total by the total attendance
for the week. 12.
Printer Test added to the terminal setup utility for the purpose of printing
a test ticket without having to start the terminal client program. 13.
Concession Page Displayed at Startup can be selected so that items
51-100 display at startup rather than the first 50 items for concession
stations used as ᦩ簾ering a different menu of items than at the other
stations. Items can still be sold from both pages. 14.
Credit Card Account Number is as before truncated to the
last five digits on the customer credit card receipt and now the expiration
date is also hidden on the customer copy. For the first time, the card
account number is now truncated on the merchant copy as well. The Mercury Pay
merchant reporting shows the first 11 digits of the card number and
expiration should the authorized account manager need access to the entire
account number and expiration. 15.
Gift Certificate Amount Redeemed can now be limited to the value
of the sale only or up to $XX.00 over the amount of the sale with the
remainder given in cash as change. 16.
Added clear buttons to the amt tender area of the sales screen that make it
possible to quickly clear a field back to $0.00. 17.
Concession Terminals now allow the user to view the ticketing
screen to find out showtimes and feature end times, screen numbers, ratings
and run times. Press the ticket button at the bottom left of the sales
screen. 崵rn to Ticketingᮤ the ticketing button on the 巠Saleꠠdialog are still disabled as are the buttons that would allow ticket sales at
these terminals. If ticket sales are desired at a particular concession
register, this full capability can be licensed for $300.쯳pan> 18. Schedule Printing feature found in the dialog opened by pressing the ton now includes the capability of printing a schedule that includes ALL features. For a schedule of an advance day, first select the advance playdate on the terminal then press ᮤ ⩮t All Schedules.ﺰ> 19.
Screen Resolution is automatically changed to 800 x 600 when the terminal is
started and returned to the former resolution after the terminal is exited.
If the computer is already set for the programथfault resolution, nothing
is changed. 20.
Smaller Credit Card Receipts are now available for receipt
printer users. These smaller receipts will use one inch less paper per copy,
two inches total savings for the customer and merchant copy. To select the
smaller receipt, go to the merchant account settings in the Terminal Setup
Utility and select under ഩons.䨥 results are designed for use with the
Epson TM-T88II and TMT88III printers with the Epson TM-T88II driver. Results
may vary with other printers and drivers. 21.
Mouse cursor may now be hidden when using a touch monitor
(not recommended if using a mouse). To hide the cursor: In the terminal setup
utility open ⥦erences and Optionsᮤ select the checkbox under ﵣh
Screens䯠Hide your cursor during program operation. When the terminal
starts up your mouse pointer will disappear. It will re-appear when the
terminal is exited. 22. Bugfix> Cashier
Balance Page Over short figure on the top line display was incorrect on
amounts over $1000 because the comma acted as a delimiter. The comma was
removed. 23. Bugfix> Daily
Sales Summary Added auto save capability. The weekly summary was often missing
numbers if the user failed to hit the Save (now Update) button. A note
regarding Credit Card Account Numbers:ꠠThese have never been stored anywhere on your computer hard drive and
do not transmit anywhere but to the processing server. |

July 1, 2005 |
3.. Screen Resolution Independence Added a resize control which, once enabled in The Terminal Setup
Utility, will allow the screen resolution to be any available resolution and
the terminal will resize appropriately. This allows the screen resolution to
be set to the native resolution of the monitor thereby greatly improving
appearance of the screen. By changing the display property in the Windows
Control Panel under Appearance|Effects to Smooth
screen fonts using ClearType䥣hnology, the
appearance is even more improved. Changing the default font for the feature
grid to Arial or some other Truetype font improves
the grid appearance when scaling. This is done in the Terminal Setup Utility
under Preferences. 2.
Added New Pole Display Emulations Epson, Logic Controls and Noritake were added. Now there are
four choices total including Futaba (the original emulation used for Posiflex displays with dip switches set accordingly). |

ꠠWorked on improving the way the system handles locking showtime
buttons after a show has started. There were problems with buttons being
locked for midnight showings. Now the following rules are adhered to: 1) If a
show occurs between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 am the button will not be locked.
2) If the advance sales flag is showing, no times will be locked, 3) If the
computer date is greater than the sales date showtime
buttons will remain locked unless they fall between 12:00 am and 6:00 am. 4)
If the computer date is earlier than the sales date the buttons will remain unlocked. |

wouldn࣬ear back to zero in the event the credit card was declined and a
cash button was pressed afterward. The correct change amount was always
displayed and the cash field was cleared at the conclusion of the sale. |
