Cameo now offers trading documents – invoices, purchase orders and quotations – with a few developments still to come. They dove-tail with book-keeping, and inventory and stock, also released at the same time. Read More…
Book-keeping and reconciliation
Reconciliation (attributing bank statement transactions to the appropriate membership, event booking etc) in accounting tasks → reconciliation has a new way of working. This is mainly because of the introduction of broader accounting functions. A new “chart of accounts” provides book-keeping account categories to which you can attribute transactions. That lets you keep track of the purpose of items of income and expenditure, and report on them. At the same time, Cameo also introduces Invoices, quotations and purchase orders that you can attribute to if you choose to use the accounting functions. You can also attribute payments more finely. For example, recording not just donations, but by separate fundraising campaigns. Read More…
Bank statement updates
resents bank statements a little differently in accounting info → statements and transactions. Manual import of bank statements also works a little differently, in accounting tasks → import statements. Also in that section, you can now add single transactions to bank accounts directly (no need to construct a CSV for occasional transactions). Financial year is no longer necessarily aligned with calendar month. Read More…
New form: invoice
Complementing the introduction of trading documents (invoices, purchase orders and quotations), Cameo now includes a form type, invoice, for customer’s to access those documents using a personalised link. The link is typically emailed as part of sending an invoice quotation or purchase order. The new form type can be used for any or all of these: * See a summary of the document *
Download a PDF of the document for the customer’s records * Pay an invoice (e.g. by credit card) * Mark an invoice as paid, add an interim transaction to account for the payment, and send a notification to that effect * Accept a quotation (and send a notification to let you know) Read More…
Payment form update
By indicating what the form is being used for, the payment form type can now record the payment automatically in the appropriate places. Previously this was a manual process. Read More…
Notifications: the new name for reminder messages
Where Cameo referred to ‘reminder messages’ in the past, it now says ‘notifications’. Everything works exactly as before: just the name has changed. Nearly all apps and systems refer to their equivalent function as ‘notifications’, so we’re going with the flow. Read More…
User interface tweaks
There are a few miscellaneous improvements to the Cameo user interface: more responsive tool tips, file upload drop targets, and CTRL+CLICK on menus and section headings. Read More…
Scheduling and reporting event bookings
Cameo has several new features for scheduling and reporting on event bookings: * each occurrence of an event now has a date box to choose when the event automatically becomes available for booking; * you can now choose later bookings as a ticket type in an event’s price plan, so that it is only offered in the booking form on or after the date you choose; * the daily report of new event bookings (sent as a reminder message) now includes a summary of all bookings to date for live events Read More…
Check.in app improvements
You can now enter ticket numbers manually in the check.in app, where an illegible barcode (say a creased printout) won’t scan. Also, event authorisation barcodes can now be scanned off-line. Read More…
Two-factor authentication exceptions
When using Cameo’s two-factor authentication, you can now make exceptions on your own computer. This means you get almost all the security advantages of 2FA (if someone gets hold of your password, they can’t log in somewhere else without the second-factor number) but without the inconvenience of having to enter the magic number each time you log in.
