Advantage
is Now MultiLingual
Parlez-vous français? Now you can view Advantage
screens in French rather than English, if you so choose. The screens
were translated for the implementation at Bayard Presse,
but it was done in such a way that it will be straightforward to
translate them in the future into other languages (those using the
Latin alphabet, that is). As the publishing world becomes an increasingly
global one, we expect this to become a common request.

Introducing...
Molly Mathe has learned a thing or two about Advantage
in her eight years working in the Advantage Support Center.
Each month in Advantage eNews, she will take a minute to
explain a lesser-known feature of Advantage, using standard
Advantage documentation. Molly welcomes your comments,
ideas or suggestions and may be reached at mmath@advantagecs.com.
In
this month's installment, Molly will discuss how to reverse a check
or credit card payment after it has been posted to a customer's
account.

2008R1
is Jam Packed
with New Features...
The
Advantage package feature now supports "mix-and-match"
packages. Using this setup, pricing is at the package level,
but the customer is allowed to choose from a list of available components.
For example, you could create an offer with 15 available items,
and set up three different packages: one with 6-unit pricing, one
with 8-unit pricing, and one with 12-unit pricing. The customer
would choose the desired package, and then select any combination
of the 15 items (in a bundle of 6, 8, or 12 items).

And Upgrading Has
Never Been So Easy!
You’ve told us you want to upgrade frequently
(which is multiple times per year for some, annually for others
and bi- annually
for still others). Reasons
to upgrade are numerous and include:
- to get
new features designed to give you a competitive edge
- to realize
efficiencies designed to reduce your cost of doing business
- to decrease
the project length by doing upgrades more often
To
help you meet this objective, we have continued to refine our project
methodology and to decrease the time and resources needed to complete
an upgrade.

Online Training Program Soars
The Webinar program has really taken off this year. We’ve
increased
the volume in 2008 – offering seven in the first quarter alone
- and recently implemented online registration. If you have not
already visited our webinars page, please take a moment to do so.
You can visit it at https://support.advantagecs.com/webinar/
to check out the upcoming topics.
On the schedule
for April are:
-
April
24th: Circulation (CIR) module with a focus on Data Entry and
Posting. This will also be a great opportunity to hear
about some of the new features in the 2008r1 Release.
-
April
29th: Pivot Tables. This is a favorite way to report
on Advantage data, and is one of the most frequently
requested topics.
Please
pass this information along to others within your company. By registering
multiple participants from your organization, you will qualify for
a discount. Webinars are a great way to efficiently train multiple
people on a given topic.
To
Print Out or Not Print Out?
That is the question.
You
can have Advantage save archival copies of all your reports
to different directories or even automatically copy and send these
reports to various users.
The Printer settings at CDSSYS/PRT can be used to control whether
the reports print any actual copies and where the files are saved.

Advantage
Adds Institutional
Identifier from Ringgold
Of note to academic publishers, Advantage
now accommodates Ringgold’s
institutional identifier, which will enable publishers using Advantage
and Ringgold’s services to link customers within their database
to the institutions with which they have affiliations. This will
allow enhanced data management, for example viewing total purchases
of institutional customers.

AUG
2008 Update
The
2008 AUG Conference was a great success and fulfilled its objectives,
which included not only the exchange of information, learning new
things, and addressing issues and concerns, but also networking
(both with each other and with ACS) and getting to know each other
more informally. Several clients and some ACS staff stayed on after
the conference was over to continue networking and exchanging ideas,
as well as taking in the sights.
