We added a few more mapped fields to the lead capture page regarding JOB ADDRESS info. Of course, we have more coming, especially with custom mapped fields planned for future updates!

New in Dubsado! You can now add more than 1 workflow in a job or lead. Woohoo!
From the dropdown, pick the workflow you would like and then click APPLY.
When you add multiple workflows, keep in mind these workflows do not work off each other. Meaning if you have a form in one workflow, you cannot watch that form in another workflow. They function independently, but will be able to run at the same time!

We have been building multi-user for months now. We had an original release date set, but soon realized we wanted to beef up the features quite a bit more. So we aimed it up and today we are starting the roll out of multi-user launches. It will be available on select accounts starting now and over the next few weeks.
What is multi-user? Multi-User is the ability to allow other users to access either all or certain parts of your Dubsado account.
What cool features does it have?
- 3 preset account role based permissions (The Admin, The VA, and The Accountant)
These users ONLY have access to the jobs that you assign them to. (After your user has accepted the invitation, head to a job to assign them to it)
Additionally, with basic accounts, you can toggle them being able to see the invoices and contracts.
These users only have access to the BOOKKEEPING section of Dubsado. Nothing else will show on their account.
An admin on an account has all the same permissions as you do. This is perfect for assistants or VA's.
How much multi-user cost? Multi-user is an additional fee to your account's membership. For all plans, up to 3 additional users are free.
4 - 10 users: additional $25/month
11 - 20 users: additional $45/month
21 - 30 users: additional $60/month
**if you are on a forever plan membership, you receive 30% off all additional user fees.**

Cue all the confetti! PayPal integration has arrived to Dubsado.
To connect PayPal as a method for your clients head to SETTINGS >> BRAND SETTINGS >> RECEIVE MONEY. There you can enter in your PayPal email (twice so we know you have the correct email) and that is all that is to it. PayPal released this new handy, super sleek way to making connecting easier than ever.
With PayPal integration, your clients have the option to pay your invoices through PayPal via credit card or PayPal account balance. Also, we have allowed PayPal connection to be used in addition to Stripe or Square connections. So if you want to give your clients the option to pay via (example) ACH / Stripe and PayPal, then you can have both connected.
The cool thing as well, if you JUST want to have PayPal connected in Dubsado is clients can pay you via regular credit card as well, but the funds get deposited into your account.
We hope this makes all your PayPal dreams come true.
-----
We do want to make you aware, however, PayPal, for service based businesses, is not recommended in our professional opinion. Since there is no tangible proof you have delivered your service to your clients, it makes it VERY easy for your clients to file a dispute and get their money back. But if you have been using PayPal for a while and are comfortable with it, we are happy that we can provide this for you!

Proposals now have the option for your clients to choose the quantities they would like.
To add a quantity option to your proposal template, head to TEMPLATES >> FORMS and edit the proposal you would like. Now in each of the package elements you have the ability to set hard minimum and maximum quantities. Set that how you'd like (it will default 0 - 1000 if not changed). Then you can use the PACKAGE variable drop down to add the quantity box for clients to input that.
I also like the look of side by side! :)
You do not need to have that quantity box in there. If it is not there, it will just default to 1. If you want to allow your clients to choose the amount of items, then do the quantity box.
All they need to do is select the package they want and then edit the quantity if they want more. By selecting, it will default to 1 or whatever minimum quantity that you have set!

You now have the ability, when in a job/lead and editing the date, to change that date to "available" or "busy" on your synced calendar. This is for the users in Dubsado who have synced calendars in our system.
When using systems like Acuity or Calendly (for example) and you have an event on your synced calendar as busy, it would not allow clients to book with you that day, BUT some events are not needed for you to be busy, so we added the option for you to mark it as available with Dubsado! :)

We have a new date picker in Dubsado! This is exciting for us. Our old one was not my fav ;) This one makes it easy for you to pick a date and select a time quickly.
Also, a new feature is the ability to create an all day event (no time event) so that you don't have to pick a time.
Lastly, when entering in an expense, no need to pick a time any more!

You now have the ability to move around your packages as a whole and workflows as well. This also changes the order of the packages and workflows within the drop downs when adding them to a job or lead!
Also, you can now COPY packages as a whole so if you wanted to create lots of packages that are similar, now it is easier than ever! ;)
