    Update on UDS Windows Version 2.0

UDS continues to put the finishing touches on Version 2.0 with an expected release some time this summer.  Following are some of the highlights that will be included with this version.

  • Sales Agent number expanded to 5 digits.

  • Co-broker number converted to a 6 digit number.

  • While you are still limited to entering a transaction amount no larger than 9,999,999.99, the monthly place value within the General Ledger master file has been expanded to store a 10 digit number (i.e. 99,999,999.99).

  • Real estate transaction file expanded to use list side and/or sale side transaction splits other than 100 for one agent per side, 50/50 for two agents on the same side, 33/33/33 for three agents on the same side, 25/25/25/25 for four agents on the same side, etc.

  • Real estate commission plan application expanded to evaluate associates based on the previous 3 quarters or previous 2 quarters.

  • E-mail capability to company employees, sales associates, vendors, PM/RM landlords, PM tenants, and RM renters.

  • The ability to enter data into the UDS general ledger module via an Excel spreadsheet.

  • GL interface to Quicken and Peachtree applications.

  • The ability to convert UDS reports to PDF format.

  • Additional exportation of data to Microsoft Excel.

  • The ability to preview a report without having to go to the spooler file.

   Additional items hoping to make the final cut:

  • Research by check number.  This feature will allow the user to search the history file to locate a transaction by the check number.  All pertinent information regarding the check including accounts disbursed will available.

  • Vendor open item selection arranged by due date.

  • Vendor history in the Property Management and Resort Management modules

Forward thinking:  Previous to this version, UDS has operated on a screen resolution of 640 x 480.  Due to the expansion of some screens within the system for version 2.0, the recommended screen resolution will be 800 X 600.  If you have monitors that do not allow this resolution, UDS will still work but it will be less convenient to use since the user will have to use a scroll bar to move the screen around instead of being able to see the entire screen at one time.  Replacement of these monitors should be considered in the near future.
