DQB Release 1.46
Here are the significant enhancements to DentaLab for QuickBooks (DQB) in 2016 Release XLVI in April on requests and suggestions from users of the system as well as the technical support staff. Unless otherwise noted, the enhancements have been applied to only the standard versions. Case Reports-Days in Status For both the standard and starter versions, in the case reports by open/in lab, out for try-in, on-hold and pre-booked statuses, the number of work days in the status will be calculated and displayed. The program will determine non-workdays from the holiday table and the setting for weekend (Sat/Sun) work. For greater precision in tracking days in status for on hold and out for try-in cases, a new status date/time field will be added to the case header record. This will provide greater accuracy for these status changes in the future but not for prior changes. Basic Lists – More Modern Controls We have begun the change to more modern programming controls for accessing and updating the basic lists to provide greater ease of use and less key movement. Those updated in this release are: - Case Stages
- Case Types
- Doctor Materials
- Quality Controls
- Ship Methods
- Tooth Shades
This will continue in the next release. New Guides for DentalRx and DQBT Tablet Workflow App
We have developed new guides for the DentalRx and DQBT tablet workflow app. For DentalRx, there are two new guides, one for the lab and one to issue to the dental offices that will be using the web portal.
