Please note that the weekly synchronisation with the CAP database has taken place and to ensure that your local CALAS system has the most up to date Makes, Models & Derivatives we suggest that you do a “Perform program/data update” via the “settings” tab.
In this weeks update there have been:
New Car derivatives added = 55
New LCV derivatives added = 114
This will also ensure that your picture library and other certain data stored locally in CALAS is also kept current.
This week we also see the addition of both the Mazda CX-5 & the Peugeot 508 RXH being added to the database as well as a lot of current pictures in the database being updated.
Please note that there is a new program update ready for download.
1. Deal Exporter/Importer
We have made some further enhancements to the new export/import facility in that you can now add accessories, additional information, finance doc fee & broker doc fee against each deal in the spreadsheets.
The Broker doc fee will automatically populate with your default setting in Calas.
Some brokers have been querying why the in stock, metallic & maintenance columns are defaulted as “0″. basically “0″ = No if you want to say show it comes with metallic then replace the 0 with a 1, this applies to all three of these columns.
Please note that there is a new program update available for download.
In this program update are the following new features:
1. Deals
We have created the ability to upload multiple adverts for a specific manufacturer by spreadsheet. Firstly go to deals, and in the tasks bar select “Deal Exporter” from here you can choose a manufacturer then if needed specify it to a specific model and whether to have just current derivative range or all.
Save the spreadsheet onto your desktop and then just populate the columns with your 2, 3 & 4 year rates or just one if you prefer. Any structural changes made by the broker will stop the import from working so please only enter your monthly rates into the appropriate column has highlighted.
Then save the spreadsheet, go back to Calas and choose the second tab at the bottom “Import deals” and answer the options and then select the “Import” button.
2. Top Deals
There is a bug fix on sorting out the ordering of the top deals.
3. Contact Number
Please note that we are changing our 0844 number to 01253 364 364 and this is now in operation to help reduce the cost in contacting us.
