6.1 Release Notes

ENHANCEMENTS:
Orders / Estimates:
New Feature: Inactive Services are highlighted on the Estimate and Order forms. When a service is marked as inactive, the ServiceID would appear in the place of the service name on an Estimate and Order. Instead of displaying the ServiceID, we are now highlighting the inactive service name. This will be visual reference that the service is now inactive so the user can change it to a different service or remove it altogether.

Orders / Estimates:
