You now have the option to turn off or on the bullet points in the invoice. Before it was only bullet points when you press enter with no option to turn off. We are excited for this update to give you the flexibility there.

With the bullet point option turned on, every time you ENTER, it will add a bullet point. This will not show in edit mode but it will be there upon adding the item to the invoice.

To have it without bullet points, just be sure that toggle is off and when you click enter, it will just add a space :)

The Dubsado Scheduler

Our most anticipated feature is here! THE DUBSADO SCHEDULER.

With the Scheduler, you can have your clients set up appointments with you. Your clients can choose a date and time from a calendar of your available times. This will help you avoid double bookings and allowing appointments only for times that work for both you and your client. Setting up your Scheduler template only takes but a few moments.

Great features to note:

  • Connect questionnaires, proposals and lead capture forms to the Scheduler.
  • Charge clients when booking with you.
  • Add padding time before and after the appointment
  • Set max number of appointments per day
  • Embed on your site or use as a link
  • When embedded clients can book appointment, complete proposal and pay invoice all without leaving your site.
  • Send reminder emails automatically
  • Convenient reschedule links for clients
  • Prevent booking option for a set amount of time in advance
  • and more...

Lots of great things in this feature. Be sure to read ALL about the Scheduler here.

In the past our remote calendar synced up to 200 days in advance. We have added the ability to now sync remote calendars up to 5 years in advance. Perfect for all you people booking projects years in advance!

New feature

Private Forms

We have added the ability to password protect forms. All forms on Dubsado are secure, but anyone with the link to that form can access it. If you wanted to add a layer of protection to the form this feature will be great for you!

How to enable the form privacy setting?

By default, this all forms are "public" which means anyone with the LINK to the form can view it. To activate the password for forms, it can be done on a TEMPLATE level or per client. Head into EDIT that form and click SETTINGS. At the bottom of settings, you can adjust the privacy. Doing at a template level will make all clients enter in a password for the forms. By changing to private on a client level, it will just be for that client and not change the template.


How to set a password for the forms?

The password protected form feature uses the password and login info from the client portal. To use the form password feature you must have client portals active. If client portals are not active and your forms are set to private, your client will not be able to view their form.

Forms that are password protected in a non-password protected portal do not require a password.

How does this change existing forms?

Nothing changes on existing forms and templates. It will just function as you are used to. If you would like to use this feature that is where you enable the form's privacy settings.

FAQ

Q: Can my client create their own password for the portal / forms?
A: No, not at this time. Passwords are only set by you.

Q: Does my client have to login to their password protected for even if it is within a client portal they already logged into?
A: No, the form does not need to be unlocked again if the client has already logged into the portal.

Q: Which forms can be private?
A: All forms have the ability to be private...Even lead capture forms. Lead capture forms when private are STILL viewable when embedded but when completed, if set as private, a password would be needed to view.

Updated Send Contract Actions in Workflow

We have updated the SEND CONTRACT action in workflow. You now have the option to APPLY TO PORTAL and APPLY TO PROJECT ONLY.

Here is a breakdown of all 3 options now when using the "SEND CONTRACT" action in workflow:

SEND EMAIL AND APPLY TO PORTAL - This is the regular action you are used to. This adds it to the project and sends it, also adding it to the portal.
APPLY TO PORTAL - New action. This adds it only to the project and "marks sent" so it applies to the portal. It does not send an email.
APPLY TO PROJECT ONLY - New action. This only adds it to the project. It does not send it or add it to the portal. Great for adding a contract that you want to do updates on and don't to automatically send.

Update

Created Date

You can now sort / see when your project is created. This is great for keeping track of multiple jobs you have with a client and sorting by the dates created on them.


Another great use for this is with leads. With the created date, you can view and sort by when the lead came in. That created date will be the date that your lead was received via lead capture or inputted manually.


You can, of course, turn this off by clicking the CUSTOMIZE button on your project page and uncheck the created date box.


Update

New Smart Fields for Invoices and Packages

We have added a few more useful smart fields for you to use!

New Package Smart Fields

There are new package smart fields under the PACKAGE smart field when you are editing / adding a package within a proposal. (example with package total of $100 with a 20% tax)

  1. Total with Tax - This is the package total smart field that you were used to before. This is the total of the package with the taxes you have added into that package included
  2. Total No Tax - This is a the package total sans tax. So if you have been wanting the package to show the package total without the tax on it. This is smart field will be great!
  3. Tax Total - This is only the tax total of that package. It is great if you would like to use the Total No Tax + Tax Total = Total with Tax to show a breakdown in the cost of that package.

Note: Any past smart fields you have on your packages will still continue to work as they have usually functioned.

New Invoice Smart Fields

We have also added a new smart field under the INVOICE smart field section when you are in any kind of text box.

  1. Tax Total - This smart field is perfect for generating the tax total on quote like proposals, breakdown of invoice on contracts, etc.. Here is an example of that on a contract:
