What's New in the 8.3.0 Release?

Invoice and Estimate functionality is available

Astra Schedule now includes the ability to configure pricing for rooms, equipment, and services; define price level discounts; associate price levels to customers; generate estimates; and generate invoices.

 

Support for multiple instructors, "primary" instructor, and percent responsible

In both the Smart Schedule Sandbox and in production sections, users can now assign multiple instructors to a meeting, flag one as the primary instructor, and optionally allocate a percentage of responsibility.

 

Enhanced Section Editing in Smart Schedule Sandbox

Add new courses and sections to the schedule, add and delete meetings, and change meeting types. Enhancements to filters for analyzed courses are also included.

 

Ability to Publish the Smart Schedule Sandbox to Production

Authorized users can publish sections from a Smart Schedule Sandbox to their production section list.
