Date Selection on Orders Just Got Faster

Hrant avatar
Shared by Hrant • April 16, 2026

Hi there,

We removed an extra step that was slowing things down. When selecting dates on orders, you no longer need to click a secondary confirmation button after choosing your date — the selection applies immediately.

What's New:

  • Date and time fields across orders now apply your selection as soon as you pick the date — no extra confirm click required
  • The experience is consistent across all date/time pickers on the order form

How It Works:

  • Open or create an order and click into any date/time field
  • Select your date from the calendar as usual
  • The date is applied immediately — the picker closes and your selection is saved without needing to click "OK" or "Confirm"

Benefits:

  • Faster order entry, especially when filling in multiple date fields
  • Less clicking, fewer steps — a smoother overall experience
  • Consistent behavior across all date fields in the system

Shared by Hrant • April 16, 2026

Hi there,

Small changes can save a lot of clicks — and this one does exactly that. When adding a new client, the Managed By and Sales Person fields now automatically pre-fill with the currently logged-in user.

What's New:

  • The Managed By field now defaults to the logged-in user when creating a new client
  • The Sales Person field also pre-fills with the logged-in user automatically
  • Both fields remain fully editable — you can change them to any team member at any time

How to Use It:

  • Go to Clients > Add Client
  • You'll notice Managed By and Sales Person are already filled in with your name
  • If the client belongs to a different team member, simply update the fields before saving

Benefits:

  • Eliminates repetitive manual selection for users who manage their own clients
  • Reduces the chance of leaving those fields blank by accident
  • Speeds up client creation, especially when adding multiple clients in a session

If you have any questions, please reach out to our team through the chat or by emailing [email protected].

Order Number Now Shows on Manually Added Client Credits

Shared by Hrant • April 16, 2026

Hi there,


Keeping track of which credits are tied to which orders just got a lot easier. When credits are manually added to a client, the associated order number now appears as a clickable link — giving you full visibility without having to dig.

What's New:

  • When manually adding a credit to a client that is linked to a specific order, the order number now displays as a clickable link in the credits log
  • Clicking the link takes you directly to that order for quick reference
  • Credits without an order link remain unchanged

How to Use It:

  • Go to Clients and open a client's profile
  • Click on Adjust Store Credit button and add or subtract an amount.
  • Search and select order number in Reference Order # field.
  • When adding a credit manually and associating it with an order, the order number will appear in the credits table once saved
  • Click the order number at any time to jump straight to that order

Benefits:

  • Quickly trace any credit back to its source order without searching
  • Cleaner audit trail when reviewing a client's credit history
  • Saves time for your billing and account management teams

Automatically Generate Rental Period from Event Date

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • February 17, 2026

Hi there,

You can now create transactions using the Event Date, and Rentopian will automatically generate the full rental period based on your preset offset days.

These offset days are configured in your Order Settings and determine how many days before and after the event are included in the rental period. This makes it faster to create orders and helps ensure consistency in scheduling.

How it works:

  • Enter the Event Date when creating a transaction.
  • The system automatically calculates the rental start and end dates using your preset offset days.
  • You can still adjust dates manually at any time if needed.

This update helps streamline order creation and reduces the need to manually calculate rental periods for events.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our team either through the chat or by emailing [email protected].

Mark Deliveries or Pickups TBD

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • February 17, 2026

Hi there,

You can now mark Delivery or Pickup as TBD when creating or editing orders.

This lets you move forward with orders even if scheduling details aren’t confirmed yet. A Confirm By Date helps your team track when delivery or pickup times still need to be finalized, and orders will appear on the Dispatch screen based on that date.

Once details are confirmed, simply update the order to a Window or Exact Time and the schedule will update everywhere automatically.
