Thank you.

ETL Phone Logs

Phone log records can now be imported into ACE when the phone number associated with the call matches an account's phone number without requiring an account number match.

DOB Years in Logic

In addition to being able to search for date of birth by age in days, dob age in years is now available in Logic Blocks.

   

Delete/Cancel Pending Letters

The View Letters log now reflects a CANCELLED status when a scheduled letter (PENDING status) is cancelled. When a scheduled letter in a PENDING status is deleted, it is removed from the View Letters log with a Deleted letter accountnote.

   

ETL Import Overlay Email Logs

Existing Email Logs can now be updated using "Overlay" in conjunction with the Email Queue ID.

SQL Designer Fields

The following fields are now available and exposed in ACE's SQL Designer.

  • payment_plan.pending_authorization
  • payment_plan.preferred_contact_method
  • payment_plan.garnishment_id
  • payment_plan.insurance_policy_number
  • payment_plan.delta_log_id
   

Disable SOL for

Account Assignments ETL Load Method

In order to prevent Statute of Limitations settings from applying while loading historic conversion data, there is now an option to "Disable Sol" in the ETL Import Profile for the Account Assignments Load Method.

   

ITMS Inbound Text

Auto-Refresh

New inbound text messages might be received while an Agent is reviewing text messages in the Text Log page on an account. In ACE, the text log page will now refresh approximately every 15 seconds so the Text Log will  display new inbound texts.

ETL Import

SuppressNotesOption

The option to "SuppressNotes" is now available for all ETL Import Load Methods.

PleaseNote:Notesshould typically only be suppressed for historic (conversion) data.

   

New Disputes Will Store to an Included Account

In the past, it was possible to initiate and save a dispute record on an account in a bundle and choose not to include the account in those being disputed. Now that scenario will result in the dispute record being saved to one of the accounts selected as part of the dispute.

PleaseNote:This is not retroactive. It will only impact new disputes created after this feature is deployed.

Behind the Scenes - Speed Improvement

Some improvements the development team identifies and implements throughout ACE aren't visible on the front end of the application.

 

This month there were changes made to the way data is joined in ACE, foreign key constraints and temporary files. As a result there are measurable speed improvements for client placement loading and account viewing. For example, in our test environment, client placements loaded 24% faster.

 

The loading of ETL email logs, phone logs, text logs and letter logs was also improved. When used for loading conversion data in our test environment, we saw 50% improvement.

 

Optimization was also identified and implemented relating to searches and statistics.
