Update Key	Added Feature - Description
1	Add A Trip with just a Passenger Name:  Added a new field on the 'Find A Customer' screen to search for Passengers.  Only Passengers that have a Main Customer ID will be searched.  New button on Passenger screen to Add a Reservation (if user has security) for current Passenger and Main Customer ID.  Can now Lookup a Customer by entering a Passenger Name. Note that this will also only find Passengers that have a Main Customer ID set.
2	New option to recalculate a trip's rates if important fields have changed:  This is controlled by a new option on Automatic Rates screen: Clear the Rates on Change: Possible choices are 'Always Recalculate', 'Ask First', or 'Do not Recalculate'. Click the '?' button to view help text.   Any change to the Vehicle type, From Zone, To Zone, Run Type, TripType, or Promo ID will check to see if the rate should be recalculated.  Note that if any 'Other Charges' exist, these must be manually verified with the new rates, since they might have been added already based on old rates or manually added previously.  The 'Edit Charges' button is highlighted in red if no Flat Rate, Hourly Rate or Mileage Rate has been entered.
3	On the 'Email Trip Confirmation' popup:  Added 7 new controls to let you include (or not) the Customer Info, Credit Card Info, Trip Charges, Payroll Info (for Farm Outs), Directions, Special Instructions, and Return Trip Info.  This will let you easily prepare a confirmation for a Farm Out job to the subcontractor, and a separate email to the Customer and Passenger. Note that there will be a flicker as it rebuilds the email text.  These will default to the settings from the Your Company's Email tab.  If the email address(es) chosen are only for a sub-contractor Driver, then the email is changed to 'Email Farm Out Confirmation' and the Payroll Info is shown, but not the Customer Info, Credit Card Info, or Trip Charges.
4	Added support for Multiple Passengers on a trip segment:  Objective: For each trip segment, allow an unlimited number of passenger names and cell phones to be entered, and shown on all paperwork.  On the Quick Reservations and Invoice screens, added: New 'Extra Names' button to change the trip's list of Additional Passenger Names and their Cell Phones. New flag on Edit | Options's General tab's on the Reservations dropdown to automatically show the Additional Passenger Names List if the passenger count is 2 or more. Find A Trip and Find An Invoice screens will now also search for extra passenger names.   On all reports and emails that show Passengers, add 'Addition Passengers' list, including their cell phone.
5	New Affiliate Management system allows Farm In Customers to be linked with Farm Out Drivers.  Added new 'Affiliates List' screen to the Data Entry menu, showing Customers and Drivers together. Three lists are shown: Linked Drivers and Customers, unlinked Drivers, and unlinked Customers. Press the Refresh button to see unassigned Customers and Drivers. This will show unlinked Sub-Contractor drivers, and unlinked Affiliate customers. Click the raised key buttons (Customer ID, Driver ID) to jump to the Customer or Driver screens. User must have Driver and Customer security to access this screen.   On the Customer screen, added 'Affiliate Information' on the 'Credit Card' tab. Added a new flag to show that they're an Affiliate. The 'Farm Out Details' will only show if the customer is an Affiliate. Link the Driver and Customer by clicking the 'Find Driver' button. A list of unlinked sub-contractor drivers will be shown. Click 'Unlink from Driver' to break this link. Click the 'Create Farm Out Driver' button to setup a Driver with the Customer's name and address.   On Driver screen, added 'Affiliate Information' on the second tab. The 'Farm In Details' will only show if the driver is a Sub-Contractor. Link the Driver and Customer by clicking the 'Find Customer' button. A list of unlinked affiliate customers will be shown. Click 'Unlink from Customer' to break this link. Click the 'Create Farm In Customer' button to setup a Customer with the Driver's name and address.
6	Affiliate's Local Time Zone:  Objective: Allow trips to be entered in the local time of the pickup/dropoff, but show on the Dispatch screen in the correct sequence with your other trips. For example, for a company based in New York, a 1pm pickup in Chicago would show on the Dispatch screen at 2pm. The trip's Start Time and all paperwork, emails, etc, will show 1pm.  Added a new Time Zone field to the Company, Customer, Passenger Addresses, Common Locations, and Reservations screens. Click on the value for to choose from all 32 timezones.  Added new fields Your Date and Your Time to the Reservation screen, which will show if the trip's time zone is different than the Your Company time zone. The Start Time and Pickup Time is the passenger's time, and the Trip Date is the passenger's date.  On the Dispatch screen, added the new Your Date, Your Time and Time Zone fields. Highlight Your Time in red if it is different than Start Time Highlight Your Date in red if it is different than Trip Date.   The Dispatch screen is now sorted by Your Trip Date and Your Start Time, not by the trips' local Trip Date and Start Time.  When the From or To button is chosen on the Reservations screen, set the trip's Time Zone to the chosen location's value. This can come from the address of the Customer, Passenger, Common Location, or Airport. A warning will show if the time zone is different than the value on Your Company.   Everywhere Trip Date and Start Time can be changed, Your Date and Your Time are calculated also: Reservations screen, Web Reservations, Remote Concierge, Excel Import, and the Wizards.
