We have added the ability to view your inventory in the inventory manager based on whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked!
Just like the other sortable columns in the inventory manager, all you need to do is click on the column name (in this case, “Locked”). The arrow beside it will let you know if it is in ascending or descending order. Your vehicles will be ordered accordingly, making it easier to find what you are looking for!
We have implemented the newest version of Contact At Once chat code! This new version means that installs will be quicker for us to complete, and adjustments to the look & feel can be made on CAO’s end.
We have added a text button option to the Staff Page settings. This can be added to each profile like any other field – by selecting it to show in the staff page settings, and then populating the field for each person you want it on. Check it out!
Add Text Me button:
Number input on each staff member:
Once this is set up, the Text Me button will show up on mobile devices and will open the default texting app on the device when selected!

As you may know, the New & Used Inventory Merchandising reports were working inconsistently for some time. This resulted in the information not loading on the page, or loading incomplete data.
I am pleased to announce that we have made updates to how that report pulls data, and the Merchandising reports are now working correctly.
Enjoy your data!
We have added functionality to allow a time to be specified for banner expiration, along with a fancy new date picker. This new functionality will allow you to choose the exact day and time your banners are added and removed from your homepage rotation!

You can access this handy new tool by navigating to Edit Homepage Banners and clicking on the Edit Banner Details button.
Happy Bannering!
You may have noticed a new button at the top of the Site Content Page:
The new button will open up the following page, allowing you to drag and drop pages not only within the section they were created under, but to other sections as well!
Not only can you change the order of the pages, you can also add or remove section headings (items that show up on the navigation bar of your site) by simply checking or unchecking the box to the left of the page title.
Note: The three dots on the right-hand side change the cursor when hovering over to show that drag and drop functionality exists, but you can click anywhere on a line to drag it around, not just on the dots.
To summarize:

In our ongoing effort to improve how you display and advertise inventory on your website, we now have three different types of photo libraries available for use!
Expanded:
These photos are trim specific, dating back as far as 2001. 2001-2009 photos will have at least three angles, and 2010-2018 will have 17-21 angles, including interior shots
Color:
This category is color and trim specific. There will be three main angles, and a date range from 2010-2018
PressKit:
OEM provided images, such as driving shots or promotional type photos with real backgrounds, or OEM images that have been modified to look like studio shots. We have at least one angle for years 1992-2015, and multiple angles/settings for 2016-2018
We have opened up access to edit the Mobile Lead Driver! To access yours, have your Support team add the permission for you.
Then, get to the page by going to the Mobile Lead Driver Settings page under Add-Ons in the DealerOn CMS:
Once you are there, you will be able to enable or disable the Mobile Lead Driver, in addition to adding, editing, or removing individual offers – including Geofences!
Happy editing!
We have added a new replacement code to make your life easier – this particular one will be especially useful in disclaimers!
The new replacement code is: #ENDOFMONTH#
This will automatically populate the last day for the current month (for example, in August, it will populate 8/31/2017).
We have made some slight adjustments to the Homepage Banners page in order to improve ease of use. The white “Delete List” button below the Current Banner list has been removed, and a new red “Mark All to Remove” button was added next to the red “Remove Selected” button. See the following screenshot for what this looks like now:
We feel that these improvements will make everyone’s life a little easier!
