Dexter Revision 3.28.01



REVISION SUMMARY

1) Open Dexter. If you are using the Extensive Markups tool to set your markups, backup your UPS extensive markups using the backup tool within Dexter. See specifics below.

2) If you are currently at revision 3.28.00, you will need to download, save and unzip these three files.

dx3_28_01a.exe
dx3_28_01b.exe
dx3_28_01c.exe

Note: if you are not at revision 3.28.00, then you may need to download, save and unzip more than just the above three files.

3) If you are using the Extensive Markups tool to set your markups, go into the import/export tool and restore/import the UPS extensive markups. This will restore your extensive markup settings for all of the UPS services you have set using the extensive markup tool except for the new tables for the UPS residential ground rates--these you will have to set anew (see the fourth step directly below).

Note: If you get an error when doing the restore operation, then you did not do the dx3_28_01c.exe file.

4) Extensive Markup Users Only. You will need to go into the Extensive Markup tool and set your UPS Ground Residential markups. Now that Ground Residential is separate, you will need to do this manually. We have it set at 50% which may not be how you want to markup your UPS Ground Residential markups.
