CMS Program Updates

Each time CMS starts, it checks to see if there are any updates and prompts you to install them.
You can also check for updates manually by clicking Knowledge Base > Check for Updates.
As before, you can also login to the Support Website and check for updates there.

Online Submissions notifications

We have discontinued this feature.
While it was neat to have a Windows notification when a new submission was made, it was deemed to be unnecessary. Instead, please rely on the notification email you get.
Also you can download submissions by clicking Tasks > Online Submissions.
You can also see and export your submissions online by logging in to the Support Website and clicking Submissions.

Bug Fixes in this release

Fixed Payment Methods Order.
When setting a Credit Card method as #1 (default), an error will no longer come up when entering a new Payment.
Fixed Apply Payment Issue:
In a case where a payment was automatically applied to a bill with a credit card (from forms or recurring charges), the system would allow a user to apply the payment to a different bill without un-applying it from the first bill. This has been corrected in this release.
