  1. Currently only a select few of the folders within Central have a configurable location, many of the remainder have their location set by default.

    Those folders with a default location exist within the user profile Documents folder which introduces difficulty when Sync technology such as OneDrive is in use.

    It would be far better to have a single location across the entire CCH Central suite which contained the folders for whichever plugins or functions of the software are necessary, that was configurable and could be placed outside of the default Documents folder to avoid issues with Sync technologies.

  2. On the final stage of mail merge there is the option to choose document type for filing purposes, it would be useful to also have an assignment and job option as following the mail merge a manual exercise is required to move the documentation accordingly

  3. Would it be possible to have the ability to make an association limited to one per client/contact record? Similar to client and assignment team responsibilities where some can be marked for only one per client/contact.

  4. Encrypt or hides the SQL sa password contained in the lookup.xml file present on every copy of CCH Central.

    This is a huge oversight. Meaning any of our users can easily obtain our SQL sa password stored in plain text on every deploy folder and potentially destroy our SQL CCH DB.

  5. CCH Practice - a function to start recording time spent on client accounts. For example, once a client file is opened, then option to start the clock and record amount of minutes spent. Then when closed, add notes for what was done - chargeable or not.

  6. Please remove the orphaned Digital Tax > HMRC Authorisation option from maintenance menu in CCH Central. I have wasted 2x days authorising our DTA and just learned this option does not do anything for authorising DTA.

  8. We are unable to change a contact type (from LLP to Limited for example). I can see this makes sense where tax returns or accounts have already been produced, but it would be useful if we could make the change if they have not been created, even if bills have been raised, or at least have a work around or override option.

  9. We have a number of VAT rates available on setup for client/supplier records and available for billing. Some of which are old and don't need to be used. Can we have the option to make unavailable specific VAT rates but keep the unused ones for historical reporting purposes. Examples of where are in the Client Tax Rates and Tax Rates options under File>Maintenance>Client/Supplier

  10. PIN numbers should be stored / accessible in our online CCH account by the superuser, as we have to wait for it to be emailed to us if there is ever a glitch.

  11. We have recently added a Tax Manager responsibility to the Assignments (Main) tab for each client to use to review WIP. We would like the ability to add Tax Manager (or other responsibility names) to added as an option on the Top 10 and Aged WIP widgets on the CCH home screen please. Currently only Client Partner, Client Manager, Assignment Partner and Assignment Manager are available. (See photo attached).
    I see there was a similar suggestion entitled Responsibility Types posted previously which had 3 votes but has since been closed.

  12. I think it would be useful if you could change the order of Extra field groups and extra fields within the groups, I also think it would be useful if we could have extra fields that we can assign based on the entity of the client rather than being forced to have the extra fields on all clients

  14. We would like the option for all employees to appear in 'Employee Details' Smart Reports whether they've got an end date or not in their record. Further if an employee does have an end date on their account we'd want to also see that data on the report.

  15. We use Assignments, Workflows, Jobs, Unfortunately we cannot add a "Job" column and therefore although you have the workflow name you cannot tell which job it relates to.

  16. When an assignment is closed you are then no longer able to search for it in the clients document centre.
    It would be good to be able to search for any assignment type in the document centre regardless of the status

  18. When creating a client the default status is 'full'. We would like this to be draft, or at least the option of selecting one or the other.

    Sometimes full clients are created when they should be draft, meaning that time can be posted to them when potentially they are still at the engagement stage.

  19. Prior to the new customer community being launched it was far easier to log calls and view the support area. I don't understand why I have to keep finding and adding a customer support username & password every time I want to use this, particularly when I am clicking on a link within central. We never used to have to. Why doesn't central identify me as a valid user without the need to keep adding a password - I have already used various passwords to use CCH.
