We've just uploaded a minor update to VIP Professional. This is mostly just small internal changes. However, one functional change is that several reports have been more useful / better looking. Those reports are:

• Week-in-Review
• Week-at-a-Glance
• Yesterday-in-Review
• Today-at-a-Glance

These are the most common reports included in notifications (including the pre-defined notifications included by default).

Suggestions or ideas on ways to make reports more useful are always welcomed, of course!

Best wishes to everyone from the development team at Stratogistics! We hope you all have a great holiday season.

If you haven't upgraded yet, download and install our latest release (dated 20 December). We've added extensive import functionality that helps make VIP Professional even more useful and convenient for your business. This was something we've been getting a lot of requests for. We already have ideas on how to make this functionality even better, but please also let us know your ideas -- user feedback has made a huge difference in the application so far.

We're currently overhauling some of the standard reports available within VIP Professional. This has been long overdue - we think you'll like the improvements. We'll do a mini-release soon with this functionality.

Another thing we're doing is updating the built-in help system. Some of the information has fallen out of date. And some of the newer features haven't been covered at all. We'll try to have that ready for mid-January.

And, as always, we are constantly looking for ways to simplify / streamline the application. Let us know your thoughts and ideas!

That's it for now. Enjoy the holidays. Have fun, but stay safe!

We've got another update to VIP Professional available for you.

The main addition in this release is the ability to specify "adds" for each individual named guest in a reservation (rather than just for the Organizer).

This is particularly of interest to nightclub users tracking 'clubber'-style guest lists.

For example, if you have a 'house list' reservation (containing all of your guests who have called in to be on the guest list), you can now create a guest on that reservation with 'adds' - for example, "Rob Davis +2". Previously, you would not have been able to do this in a 'house list'-style reservation -- you'd have needed a separate reservation (since unnamed guests previously could only be linked with the Organizer).

For nightclub users, this should give you even more flexibility in how you record / track your guest lists.

Other additions in this release include a warning if you attempt to add a guest to a reservation that has already been added to another reservation on the same date (double-bookings), printable reports for View / Filter / Duration specifications, various usability tweaks, some optimizations, more sample data, and some small bug fixes.

See the release notes for a complete list of all the improvements.

As always, updates to VIP Professional are entirely free to subscribers. Just download the latest release and install, selecting the option to upgrade your existing database (play it safe and do a back-up before upgrading). All of your data and settings will be upgraded automatically. Your subscription will also be updated.

If you have never tried VIP Professional before, give it a try -- your first month is absolutely free (and you don't even need to sign up or identify yourself until the end of your first month!). It is absolutely risk-free.

We've released another great update for VIP Professional. There's a lot of additional functionality, improvements to existing features, extra content, and more.

We're on track to release our next update to VIP Professional shortly. We are doing final testing / tweaking now.

Here is what we've added for you:

• Import / Export: You can now import and export Views, Filters, Durations, Lookups, confirmations / reminders, and notifications. This makes it easy for you to share your content / templates with other users. And, of course, it means we can easily release new content for you without you needing to re-download / install VIP Professional.
• We've added a "Did you know..." dialog that appears whenever you start up VIP Professional, with a new tip each time. We hope this will help new users learn some of the more advanced functionality of VIP Professional. Of course, you can turn this dialog off if you don't want it to appear.
• Purge function, which allows you to remove all guests, reservations, user accounts, and similar data. The primary purpose of this is to allow us to include lots of sample data when VIP Professional is first installed. That will help new users familiarize themselves faster with what VIP Professional is capable of. The Purge function makes it easy to get rid of the sample data when you are ready to start entering real data for your business. Of course, you can also use the Purge function any time you want to start with a 'clean' database.
• Sample data - since we now have a 'purge' function, we are building lots of sample data to show new users what can be done with VIP Professional.
• Other: We've also tweaked a few other features, fixed some bugs, and so on. More details will be available in our release notes once we formally release the next version.
