and change 44th line to Y

Y is equivalent to client type Agency. Anything else is equivalent to client type "Direct"

Somewhat bizarrely client names always show on booking orders to vehicles with the word "OKAZ" in their name. The software really ought to have an option on the vehicle file to allow proper control by the users. This "show client name" option on the vehicle should probably take precedence over the client file and system parameters.

Configuring Standard Notes and Signatory for Media Booking Orders

Files > Media & Non Media File > Select Newspaper, Magazine or any other media. The following codes are available:

• %USERNAME%
• %AGENCY%
• %EMAIL%

The following codes are available in versions of NEOSYS software dated from 26/3/2007. They can be used to verify who, when and where the order was created but may not be desired on the booking orders which are sent to suppliers. If they are not printed on the booking order they are available for inspection on the List of Booking Orders for verification.

• %USERCODE%
• %DATE%
• %TIME%
• %WORKSTATION%

NB. Date and time is that of creation, which might not be the same as the order date if the user is authorised to override the order date.

The following superceded codes are also supported but should be replaced by the newer forms above where-ever possible.

• %USER
• %USERNAME
• %AGENCY
