# Update 236

- Added: File -> Company/Branch Settings -> Modify -> User Pay Tab: Option to Use Job ROP For Travel Time

* This helps with some states that are starting to require you to pay certified rates

for travel time

* If a certified job is set to use task rates instead of a general job rate, travel will pay

at the lowest rate from the tasks done on the FT

- Added: File -> Company/Branch Settings -> Modify -> Mobile Settings Tab: New option to add pictures per task

* Must turn on this setting to allow the techs to do this

* If you have a custom field ticket, please contact CenPoint support to get your report

updated to support this new feature.

- Added: Better integration with the CenPoint Portal

* View things directly in the desktop app that are only available on the portal

(How cool is that!)

* For now, includes (but not limited to)

- Branches (more branch settings than desktop screen supported)

- Users (set user profile pictures and view them on the portal schedulers)

-Unions (did you know you can draw union boundaries and accurately

report on them?)

- Entering CC Payments

-Update logs (like what you're reading ;) )

-Etc.

*We are constantly moving more and more functionality to the portal

-Some companies work exclusively out of the portal, but it depends on what

features you need. Not all features (i.e. job costing) are moved over yet

-We are adding this integration with the portal to save you from bouncing

back and forth between the 2 platforms / interfaces

-This is also a strategic move that allows for faster development time

(i.e. we can get you features faster) since we won't need to write it 2+ times.

*You can temporarily disable screens opening in the portal view by double clicking

on the home screen and unchecking 'Use Webview'

- Webview will turn back on automatically the next time you launch CenPoint

- You will not be able to access certain features

(i.e. new branch settings listed in this update) if you do this

- Added: Tools -> Translate

* Instantly translate text between 5 languages

- Added: CP Books -> Reconciliation Report: Now shows EFTs under the types of payments

- Added: Shop -> Vehicle Inspections: Checkbox to include vehicle inspections for the branch you are looking at where the inspection is for a different branch than the vehicle branch

* This is useful if you 'loan' vehicles between branches

- Added: File -> Users -> Modify -> User Preferences: Can now set the Desktop app to send via Outlook while using something else on the Portal (i.e. Office 365, gmail, etc.) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2120353-eb2a-47e7-80e2-597dd258dbbe/Images/Documentation/image-Q3OE0XTD.png)

- Fixed: Reports -> Timecards & Payroll -> Technician Detailed & Summary -> Auto Correct OT Warnings: Not moving travel 2 time to OT in certain scenarios
- Fixed: Reports -> Job Reports -> Job Costing: Grid not accurately showing Job PO costs when merging linked jobs (print outs were correct, just the grid didn't update)
- Other minor fixes
