Version: Frontend 5.4.9 / Backend 5.4.35

This update delivers another round of powerful new efficiencies and key fixes. We are focused on releasing value as soon as it's ready, and this release brings significant time-saving features to estimating and quoting, alongside important improvements to document handling and system reliability.

New Features

Estimating & Quoting

  • Clone Items in Estimates, Quotes, and Variations/Change Orders: You can now save significant time by duplicating items in your estimates, sales quotes, variations/change orders, and house and land packages. A new clone icon appears on hover, allowing you to instantly create a copy of any item, including all its associated details, formulas, and memos.

Estimating Setup

  • View Existing Codes When Creating New Items or Components: When creating a new Item, Component, or Cost Center, the system displays a dynamic list of existing codes as you type into the 'Code' field. This feature allows you to instantly reference which codes are already in use, so you can choose a new one without having to navigate away to check the master list first.

Improvements

Estimating & Quoting

  • Add Multiple Item Quantities at Once: We've enhanced the "Find Items & Components" dialog by replacing the simple checkbox with a new numeric selector. You can now specify a quantity directly from the search screen, allowing you to add multiple instances of an item to your job in a single, efficient step.

Fixed Issues

Schedules

  • Prevented Errors from Cyclical Dependencies in Schedule Templates: An issue that could cause an error when applying a schedule template containing a cyclical dependency (a task loop) has been resolved. The system now detects this issue and prevents the schedule from being created, providing a clear error message that identifies the conflicting task so it can be corrected.

Integrations

  • Addressee Name Now Populated from Xero Contact Sync: We've fixed an issue where the addressee name was not being populated when a contact was created or updated via the Xero integration. This ensures that all contact details from Xero are complete and ready for use in your document templates without needing manual correction.

Availability

  • United States: This update will be available on June 30, 2025.

  • Australia & New Zealand: This update will be available on July 8, 2025.
