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 Offline⵴ton 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 Report⵴ton 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
1.1.18
ﳰan>

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 User⵴ton 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

ᤤ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 serial number appears on Daily Sales Summary report

橬e tracks deleted playdates, their serial numbers and any ticket sales discarded within those playdates. Audit trail can be made to save to any location available within the machineడth. Theatre owners may contact SCS support for details.

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.

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 timer is off by default to conserve bandwidth when not in use

February 7, 2004

䤥d Reporting support for AU 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 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 don೥ll 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

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cts⵴ton > 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.If 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.

ᤤ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.

1.1.10

ﮠthe ticket, bumped up the font size for the FEATURE TITLE and RATING by a notch when the Epson TM-T88 line of printers is used with the Epson driver.

1.1.11

January 8, 2003

ﮠthe ticket, we added the capability of printing a logo when using an Epson TM series printer. To print a logo you must have black and white art scanned into your computer and saved as a BMP file then upload the image to your printer using the Epson Non-Volatile RAM logo image upload software found on our

䤥d the capability to print a schedule for the feature being displayed in the feature info window if using a receipt printer for selling tickets OR if you have a receipt printer designated for receipts while also using a standard ticket printer.쯳pan>

1.1.12

1.1.13

January 15, 2003

 

ᤤ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">Sale in Progress⥤, 崳ide a Sale粥en borders on by default around the tender area. The borders may be turned off in the terminal setup utility, terminal options and preferences.

 

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 favor Intel८tiumಯcessors

 

 

1.1.14

January 18, 2003

㯳metic change to prevent the seats remaining progress bars from bleeding through the ⩮ting䩡log box as it closes

 

㨡nged EXE compilation options to cut file size in half by using P-Code rather than native code with no perceivable change in performance

 

1.1.15

February 11, 2003

䩳abled 衮ge Userꠠfunction button while a transaction is in progress. User change must be done 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 Discrepancy硲ning a big giant red dialog that is impossible to ignore.

 

1.1.16

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 st="on" w:st="on">Saleꠠbutton to remain unavailable even after something was sold.

 

�e subtle performance changes to allow for less network traffic thus making the product more robust where there is heavier network traffic and several terminals running.

 

CREDIT CARDS OVER-SALE AMOUNT:

It has been asked whether a credit card can be tendered for an amount above the amount of the sale. The answer is yes. To do so, simply add the extra amount to the sale total then type that amount in the keypad area and press the MC/VISA button, then Sale. For instance, if the sale is $16.50 and the customer wants $10.00 cash back, the cashier will enter $26.50 then press the credit card button then Sale button. The card will be processed for $26.50 and when completed the Completed Sale dialog box will show $10.00 in change as due the customer. If she presses the credit card button without entering an amount, the sale will be processed for the amount of the sale only.

 

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 ⩮t⵴ton 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 L⵴ton 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.

1.1.24

June 23, 2003

CRITICAL UPDATE
Fixes a terminal vulnerability/exploit that could cause ticket transactions not to post to the transaction log or cashier balance for a terminal. (The tickets themselves are still recorded in the ticket sales log potentially causing an out-of-balance condition.)

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 ㅒ⵴ton 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.

1.1.28쯳pan>

February 2, 2004

嬩minates the connection delay when running a credit card transaction. Should increase speed by 2 to 3 times.

1.1.29

February 7, 2004

ᤤ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 transactionsin 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.

2.0.0000

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cts⵴ton > 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> 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 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:These have never been stored anywhere on your computer hard drive and do not transmit anywhere but to the processing server.

 

 

2.00.0107

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).

 

2.00.0109

March 6, 2009

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.
