Here at BDP it feels like we had a bit of a party ("Pick Up" Release) and needed to do some cleaning up afterwards. This release covers a pile of odds/ends/fixes/polishes and squashed bugs.  We also threw in a couple new delivery slot tools that will save a boatload of hassle for a handful of customers.  

DELIVERY SLOT TOOLS
Depending on a lot of different variables (employee schedules, truck maintenance/availability, weather, holidays, etc.) one needs to make adjustments to an overall delivery schedule.  Sure, you're delivering every day, but maybe you've got an additional truck/driver that you can run on Fridays...or over some weekends.  There are a few ways to control your delivery "inventory" so to speak and one way has always been to add/delete delivery slots as needed.  This works fine, but isn't ideal.  With this release, you can now toggle any slot to be "Active" or "Inactive", keeping all of the slot settings intact.  Additionally, you can now provide a custom name to each of your slots to help keep things better organized. So...not the MOST SEXY of updates, but it adds a nice polish.

VEHICLE VOLUME LIMITS
Inside BDP, we've always had a "Volume" field for each vehicle, but it was mostly there for reference, not actually used in the magic that controls order routing between rigs. Now, if that field is filled out for a specific vehicle, it will automatically control availability for trucks that can/cannot accommodate each order, based on volume.  Stay tuned for similar functionality that we're working on to set "lower" limits for weight, allowing better routing for diverse fleets.

LOADER DASHBOARD SEARCH
For customers that have enabled "Pick Up" Ordering. We now have a simple search field to help "Loader" users find the right order for fulfillment based on any number of details (order number, name, phone, instructions, etc.)

EXPORT (FILTERED) ORDERS
BDP has long offered a simple order export tool and now it will respect any "Advanced Search" options that have been selected.  This makes it possible to export just orders of certain products, date ranges, customers, etc. 

CUSTOMER NOTE HIGHLIGHTS
For new users (drivers) it can take a minute to build the muscle memory needed to remember to always look to see if a customer left a specific delivery note.  Even for veteran drivers, this can sometimes get overlooked if you're in the middle of a busy day.  We've added some new callouts and shortcut links to help highlight this detail on orders where these instructions have been provided.

RICH TEXT FORMATTING
We realized that formatting of certain text items (like bulleted lists) were lost in BDP's admin area.  The formatting appeared on the customer side, but that's hardly helpful when you're filling out the details.  This is fixed now.

EMAIL SENDER SIGNATURE
This is a bit more valuable to new customers...but can definitely help anyone using BDP. When onboarding, an email address (that isn't from Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) is added to your account settings and used as the address that YOUR customers will see on the email receipts that they get after an order has been placed.  In order to be able to do this, we must first get your permission to "send on your behalf".  This authentication/confirmation process has now been automated. You can now change the address that you store with us and "confirm" it without needing to reach out to BDP support.
