ShowPro version 7.3 new features...
Additions (All Editions): A preference has been added to NOT enforce the USEF rule that a Hunter section must have a minimum of 2 O/F and 1 U/S classes to have a championship. The importing of data from OrgPro has been greatly improved. When the import is completed a window will appear that will tell you which people/horses were imported as new and which only gained a number for the imported organization. Particular care has been paid to avoiding duplicates in the data. On the Show Screen using the Add/Edit Section button you can now change the division that a section is associated with. You can for example move a Hunter section to the Equitation Division. You can now flag people and horses as having joined or renewed their memberships to local organizations. This information is exported to OrgPro along with show results. This potentially saves the organization some data entry effort and is particularly helpful when the show secretary and the points secretary are the same person as is sometimes is the case.
Additions (Advanced Edition): The USEF database query now flags invalid horse names, possible incorrect owners, and possible incorrect person names. The USEF has fixed a problem on their end that caused horse heights not to be reported. You can now select between the Advanced mailing list management capability and the print from shows mailing list capability that is available in the Professional Edition in case you just want to generate a list from (a) particular show(s).
ShowPro version 7.2 new features...
Additions (All Editions): A preference has been added to include rider ages on the results report print out. A new folder selection dialog box has replaced the dialog used to specify where back ups and other files should be stored. There is also a new dialog box for networking. ShowPro will create a folder on your Desk Top named ShowPro Folders that will contain shortcuts to your backups folder, exported results, etc. This makes it much easier to find your backups/exports and drag and drop files to attach them to emails and so forth. In the Trainer Account the trainer statement now includes any client balances that you have checked prior to recording the payment. Check Details when used as a lookup (not from the deposits tool) now will include checks from multiple shows. This takes it back to the way it worked before the addition of the Deposits tool. If you hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys you can switch between shows using the up and down arrow keys. If you also hold down the Alt key you will be taken to the entry of the same horse if one exists, if not no change of show will occur. A network status tool has been added that on the host shows you the status of your connected clients.
Additions (Advanced Edition): Class sponsors can now be configured that will appear on announcer's sheets and a Class Sponsors report has been added. Check Details are now printed landscape. ShowPro version 7.1 new features...
Additions (All Editions): A Miscellaneous Debits report has been added. A Miscellaneous Credits report has been added. A Combo Class Sheet report has been added. This report contains an entire section on one sheet of paper and is an announcers/starters list with a results table for calculating championships.
Additions (Professional and Advanced Editions): ShowPro version 7 new features...
Additions (All Editions): The Entry Search tool has been vastly improved. An Affidavit missing number reason check box has been added to the horse numbers pop up. When sections are created using Add/Edit Sections on the Show Screen they are now created retroactively in all shows. You can now change the order that sections are listed. You can now e-mail backups, USEF results (except in standard edition), and OrgPro results directly from ShowPro. On the Show Screen there are now tabs for Sections and Classes. Instead of pushing over a "Non sanctioned" class you now create classes, which ShowPro remembers for you, and push them over into the class list. This is a very nice feature that is a time saver and also promotes consistancy. On the Show Screen you can now insert classes at the highlighted position or append them to the end of the list. The "Maintain Sequential Numbering" check box has been replaced with a "Smart Numbering Enabled" check box. Smart numbering renumbers only to the next break in sequential numbers. Payments can now be tagged with the persons initials that received them. There is log in on the File menu and a preference in File/Preferences to make the log in automatically appear at start up. In Section Standings you can now specify which sections you want a championship for by checking them in a list, the ones you do not check are removed from the list. This replaces the Exclude this section check box. In Data/People any horses owned are now listed and you can go to a horses information by clicking a button. In Data/Horses the owners are listed and you can go to their information by clicking a button also. For one thing this makes it very easy to find duplicate horses, if there are same named horses in the list the box turns red. The maximum length of organization numbers has been increased from 10 to 20 characters. This is to accommodate some FEI numbers that could potentially exceed 10 characters. The way backups are named has been changed to make them sort in a more logical way in Windows Explorer, files open dialogs, etc. In Print General Checks when you type in the first few characters of the payees name matching data from the history list is used to populate the check.
Additions (Professional Edition and Above): In Circuit Standings you can now specify which sections you want a championship for by checking them in a list, the ones you do not check are removed from the list. This replaces the Exclude this section check box.
Additions (Advanced Edition): Splits are now broken down on the entry screen on a Splits tab rather than them being put in a miscellaneous debit. There is a preference in File->Preferences that allows you specify that splits be itemized or summarized on the statement. Multiple stall types are now supported. You can create an unlimited number of stall types and set the type on each entry or trainer account. Each stall type is broken out separately on the financial reports. Support for team competitions has been added. You can break classes into teams and export the information to Excel. In placings what would otherwise be considered ties are handled appropriately for the team competition. ShowPro Version 6.6 new features...
Additions (All Editions): You can now split by age.
An "H" has been added to the horse sizes. You can now split individual classes. You can now create a multi-phase class which is like spliting an individual class except that everyone is entered in all splits. You can now create a chart of accounts and assign QuickBooks classes to your shows. The ability to export the check register to IIF (QuickBooks) has been added. You can also export the check register to Excel, CSV, and QIF format. Much more flexibility has been added to the check register export capability and some other general improvements have been made. A Entry Verification Reports has been added. If you charge fees for Rode Did Not Enter this report can be stapled to the back of your judges cards after verifying entries.
Additions (Advanced Edition): In the tack stall splitter tool you can now add anyone into any split. This same capability has also been added to the trainer fee splits tool. An automatic backup scheduler has been added. You can set backups to occur automatically at 15, 30, 45, or 60 minute intervals. You can now do a remote back up of the hosts data from a networked client computer. You are given a choice to restore the data to your clients local database or the backup file will be stored to your Show Backups folder. On the statement jumper nomination and hunter equitation fees have been moved from class fees to show fees. Even though these are triggered by entry into a class and internally they are class fees, from the exhibitors perspective they are show fees and this change simplifies and cleans up the statement quite a bit. ShowPro version 6.5 new features... There are new much improved tools for stall and trainer fee splitting in the Advanced Edition, you'll find them on the Tools menu. On the schedule you can now configure multiple time sets and assign names to them. This enables different classes to be treated differently which is helpful for different jumper tables and also when several cards are open. The Starters/Announcers Order of Go print function is now the Starters/Announcers/Exhibitors Order of Go print function. The Exhibitors Order of Go report has been added into class sheets printing function. In the Starters/Announcers/Exhibitors Order of Go the PRINTED classes are no longer grouped at the bottom of the list, they retain their normal positions. You can now select a set of classes and generate order of go with the order of go options for the entire set. A "Do Orders" button has been added to the Starters/Announcers/Exhibitors dialog to accomplish this. The Custom Order of Go has been improved. You can now drag and drop entries into position and a position indicator has been added. This makes it much easier to do custom orders for classes with 40+ entrants. A function has been added to the Tools menu to count the number of show scratches. A Jumper Results report has been added that has faults and times on it. A Trainer Fees Summary report has been added. This report summarizes the fees section of all the trainers statements onto one report. The statement message has been moved from the Tools menu to Data/Show. An option has been added to Preferences (File/Preferences) to make the rider appear first on the Entries by Number report. Previously there was a back door way to do this, the preference has been added to make this widely available. Some announcers, one in particular, prefer it this way. Features that were new in ShowPro Version 6.4... The financial reports have been completely reworked, there is a new Statement and a new Financial Summary report. There used to be a concept in ShowPro called "Close Financials", it is now gone. There is now an item on the Tools menu "Other Balances" that allows balances from other shows you select to be combined into the balance of the currently selected show. The statement will have a separate section for each show with a balance detailing the items from that show. "Other Balances" is far more flexible and powerful than "Close Financials" was. The Payee Prize Money Summary report has been reworked. There is now a section at the top that reports issues such as unassigned prize money, missing tax ID numbers, and prize money assigned to non owners (not necessarily an issue). If you select no payees you can get this report by itself. The format of the payees section has been improved. There is now a Trainer Schedule report that breaks down the trainers classes by ring and day There are now Trainer Incentive Reports. These reports track the points that accrue to trainers clients. Some of the shows using ShowPro are giving away trips to Hawaii, motor bikes, etc. as prizes/incentives to the high point trainer for the show/series. These reports make these kinds of promotions easy to do. There are now championship sheets that can be printed for Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation sections. There is now a separate set of bonus jumper points that can be applied to the last jumper class in a section. If more points are awarded for the bonus class it eliminates most ties. Placing in the bonus class can be used to decide any remaining ties. There is a USEF rule currently proposed that allows Jumper sections to be handled this way. There is a special championship sheet that provides for this if bonus points are used. On the File menu there is now a Preferences item that lets you set various options all in one place. The way these options are communicated from host to client when networking has been improved. On the Tools menu there is now an "Export Chronicle Report" item. This allows you to send the results to the Chronicle electronically which is definitely how they prefer them now. In Show Standings there is now a check box "Suppress this championship", this allows you to prevent a championship from being exported in USEF electronic results and in the Chronicle electronic results. When on an entry pressing F6 now displays the statement for that entry in the Report Viewer. The Exhibitors Report that has been available in the Exhibitors Terminal is now available also in ShowPro itself. The USEF Database Query now checks for USHJA non members. The free Exhibitors Terminal has been updated to support the new ShowPro features. Features that were new in ShowPro Version 6.1... A new license level, the Advanced Edition. The Advanced Edition has features designed for larger shows but that many shows will find useful. Although the Professional and Standard versions have been enhanced and will continue to be improved, future "high level" features will be available in the Advanced version. When networking, some advanced features will become available on Professional and Standard clients if the host is an Advanced version. Advanced Features Ability to create class fees such as jumper nomination, late jumper nomination, add, scratch, and RNE fees and associate them with classes. Fees can be set to automatically charge with the option of prompting the user first. Any class fees are listed on the statement with the class identified. A late entry fee can now be configured. There is now an "Entries are closed" check box on the Show dialog. If this box is checked and a late entry fee has been configured, each new entry will be charged the fee. Ability to export mailing labels to a .CSV (comma separated values) file. Advanced/Professional/Standard Features A check box has been added to the Enterable Sections. If the check box is checked, the section fee will be charged if any class in the section is entered. If the check box is not checked, the section fee will be charged only if all classes in the section are entered. Exhibitors Terminal The free Exhibitors Terminal has been updated to support the new ShowPro features. Features that were new in ShowPro Version 6.0... Advanced check printing. Ability to override the default prize money deduction preference on an individual class basis. 1099 printing. Ability to record FEI Passport, Nat'l Passport, Stud Book, and Measurement Card Numbers. Ability to record the Dam, Sire, Dams Sire, and Breed. Ability to record Coggins information and to print a Coggins report. The ability to charge tax. The ability to add/edit sections and change the section a class belongs to on the Show Screen. The new United States Equestrian Federation/USEF naming. The persons and horses screens are now available when a show is open and new features have been added to aid in the maintenance of the data. Duplicate data can be merged for example. The ability to have an unlimited number of mailing lists. The ability to add an organization division section on the Show Screen. The ability to change the section that a class belongs to on the Show Screen. Context sensitive help has been added. People Numbers Needed Report. Horse Numbers Needed Report. Features that were new in ShowPro Version 5.0... The option (for a fee) to upload your shows to HorseShowing.com. Ability to search for an entry by owner or rider name. Unlimited miscellaneous credit and debits on the entry and trainer accounts. Ability to add entry account balances to the Trainers Account. Trainer Accounts now have an Express Checkout feature. There is now a Balance Forward feature that allows you to carry any entry account debit balances from a show on to subsequent shows. Ability to transfer a credit balance on an entry account to another entry in the same show, the entry of the same horse/owner combination in another show, or to a Trainer Account. You can now combine a section before any classes have been added to the show for that section. For example if you have Green Working Hunter on your Prize List, you can combine First Year Green Working Hunter and Second Year Green Working Hunter before adding classes to the show. This is in fact how this should be set up if you are exporting result to USEF for electronic submission. Buttons have been added to the Entry Screen to go to the first or last entry in the show. A Refresh button has been added to the Entry Screen. Data is automatically posted to the database when you leave that entry. The Refresh button forces the data to be posted to the database immediately. If you create a show from a template, you can now open that show with Select Show on the Data menu. You no longer have to exit ShowPro and return to the Start Screen to open the show.
