Promotion calendar improvements

The latest hotfix for release 28 includes several improvements to the promotion calendar.

First, you can now color code calendar items based on communication type. To initialize this you must first configure the colors and tell the system which colors to apply to which communication types.

To do this, first Open File > User Preferences. The User Preferences screen opens.

Then, select a background color and a text color for each communication type in the system. NOTE: The user preferences screen will change in one of the next releases. This will be a cosmetic change. The functionality will not change.

Once you configure the communication type colors, calendar items with matching communication types display with the background color and text color you selected. This allows easy identification of each communication type. (The promotion calendar is in Names > Routines > Special Routines > Promotion Calendar.)

Second, you can now filter calendar items based on promotion method. Simply select the promotion methods you want to include in the Filter group of the Promotion Explorer and click Run. AM.NET re-extracts the data and includes only the promotion methods you selected.

Finally, you can now open the promotion linked to the communication by double-clicking the communication item on the calendar. AM.NET opens Promotion File Maintenance with the specific promotion selected in the Promotions grid.
