New features and updates for April are here! Check out these awesome new features that we have added from the awesome suggestions you have been making to help improve Spark!
🔥 Week 4 Updates 🔥
New Staff Permissions
We have added additional staff member permissions to allow/disallow certain staff to send out Email/SMS/Push Notification campaigns as well as added a permission to allow/disallow staff members from being able to purchase sms credits which you will be able to find by going to your left side menu, Settings>Staff Logins, editing a staff member's profile and scrolling down to these fields.
Entered By Column added on the Staff Time Slips Report
This new column will show which staff member(s) have altered anyone's time slips as well as which days and times they have edited. If you see a dash in place of a name under someone's time slip then that signifies that the time slips has not been edited by anyone. You will be able to find this new column by going to your left side menu, Reports>Staff Time Slips.

🔥 Week 3 Updates 🔥
Reschedule Merge Tag for Appointment Confirmation Emails
With this new update to the appointments type settings you will be able to add a reschedule option on your appointment confirmation emails that get sent out immediately upon a contact booking an appointment. This option was previously only reserved for the Day Of and Day Before sms messages and you will be able to find this new merge tag by editing your appointment type settings, scrolling down to the email field, and selecting the 'Reschedule Link' from the merge tags dropdown which you could add anywhere on your email body.
Bug Fixes/Adjustments:

Adjusted ranks to allow both belt tips and stripes to be shown on a contact's belt simultaneously in their profile.
Adjusted the automations page to where if the option to hide inactive automations is selected, that setting will remain selected until you either unselect it or clear your cache from your browser.
Added the option to save sms messages as templates from all the places you could mass send text messages from.

🔥 Week 2 Updates 🔥
Discount Column added on the Items Sold Report
You will now be able to see how much profit you made on the items you sold after a discount was applied to the invoice which will help you get a better view of what you're making on items. You will be able to find this report by going to your left side menu, Settings>POS>Items Sold.
Tag Filter Added on the Attendance Counts Report
A new filter has been added to the Attendance Counts report which will make it easier for you to view the attendances taken by contacts that have specific tags on their profile. You will be able to find this report by going to your left side menu, Attendance>Attendance Counts.
Customizable Participant Name Label for the Online Scheduler
We have made the participant name label for the online scheduler form customizable so you can choose what the label displays on the online form. This can be helpful for appointment schedulers that are specific to certain age groups so you could make it to where instead of having the label say "First & Last Name of the participant:", you could instead have it say "First & Last Name of the child:". You will be able to find this change by editing your appointment types and scrolling down to the 'For Online Scheduler, Enter a label for Participant' field.
