This ensures that delivery schedules remain accurate and up-to-date.

- As part of our move towards deprecating the old Job Properties PDF, we've resolved a bug where product images were occasionally overlapping tables.

New Features:
- We’ve added a new 'Additional Variations' function where you can create custom job-level variations that don't need to be assigned a specific product. Read the How-To guide on using this feature HERE.

These variations can be optionally allowed to be removable by the customer, upon the order being sent back to them for confirmation. This feature will give you and your customers more flexibility with variation management.

- Customers can now change their dispatch options on a job when the job has been reverted to them for confirmation (e.g they can change from Freight to Pickup if they're not happy with the cost that has been applied, or change from Pickup to Freight if they've decided to get the job delivered). More info on this can be found HERE.


New Improvements:
- We've added new functionality that automatically computes Minimum Charges when you're editing cost (e.g. reducing Minimum Usage Fees) on a job. This improvement simplifies the cost management process and reduces the chance of errors.

New Fixes:
- We've resolved an issue where, when the user opened a job which had triggered a price reset (exceeded the amount of days you have set for quotes to be valid), the job variation popup would appear over the top of the price reset messages. 

- We've added a new feature which allows you to edit or delete the minimum job charge or minimum usage fee on customer orders, when accepting jobs and editing the cost. Perfect for when a customer has missed a part in a job, or has damaged a piece and requires a re-cut and you've still got an offcut from their previous order. Now, the customer can create a new order with the material and at job approval stage you can click Edit Cost and delete or modify the Minimum Usage Fee, or Minimum Charge Fee amount. Check out the How-to guide HERE.

-Rectified an issue on the job report page where jobs that contained a minimum usage on benchtops were hiding the minimum usage breakdown.

- There’s now also an order submission webhook available. This new feature enables external systems to permit and validate job submissions, approve automatically rather than going via a manual approval process.

New Improvements:
- We've added more robust validations to shelf setbacks, preventing users from entering negative setback values, and also putting an upper limit on the maximum setback that can be applied, in reference to the cabinet depth.
