Shows get an Additional Information Upgrade

Not long ago I blogged about SHOWS.
See | Show Table offers New Reporting Value

Shows just got better, able to save you and your team even more time. With the addition of a new orange button Additional Info, found on the Add/Edit screen for a Show. 

Selecting Additional Info will take the user to a mini-Project Summary screen for the Show displaying several familiar Blue Bars. FACILITY, SHOW MANAGEMENT, GENERAL CONTRACTOR, ADVANCE SHIPPING ADDRESS, MARSHALING YARD and DIRECT SHIPPING ADDRESS.

By populating these data fields, just once, every Project that is created with an association to the Show, will automatically be updated with these values. This is a one way, one time post to the Project on the Create command. Projects created before the data is entered will not receive the data; edits made to the data at the Show level after a Project has been associated will not receive the data updates. If a Project was already Created and later associated to the Show, the data in the Show will not overwrite data already entered in the Project prior to the association with the Show.  Additionally you can edit the individual values of an associated Project without affecting the data for other Projects associated to the Show or the Show’s master data values.
