CRM
– History tab: A record is automatically created whenever a report is sent to a customer from the Estimates or Orders module. This is a fantastic way to track what document(s) were sent to a customer and when!

– Enter your email address into the ‘Default Bcc’ field and you will automatically Bcc yourself on any reports emailed to customers from the Estimates or Orders module.
– Create your own personal default email signature for all emails sending reports from the Estimates or Orders module. Note: in the next release, administrators will have the ability to add/edit the email signature for all Midnight users by selecting a user’s name from a dropdown list. Currently, you can only update your own signature (or the person you are logged in as) on this page.
– The email dialog screen that is presented to the user when sending a report from the Estimates or Orders module now accepts multiple email addresses (separated by comma).
Admin/Employees/Available Widgets: a new widget named Recent Proofs was created. This widget will display the most recent 100 proofs entered in the Proofing Module and display the current status of the proof and what customer the proof is associated with.
Reports:
– Added additional columns to the Sales Price Sheet report so that all services display the information needed to quickly review your current services offering and services setup.
