COMING SOON!
Our new online classified website is up and running. Check out campgroundmanagerjobs.com . We are currently working on a sister site to this one. As we are the software vendor of choice for LSI and their brand Jellystone Parks (plus we own one) we are putting up the new site "jellystonejobs.com". This is an online classified advertising website mush the same as campgroundmanagerjobs.com . In fact the content in some cases will be shared. So if you are a Jellystone park looking to advertise for help check it out and place and ad! It will appear on both sites (when Jellysonejobs is up and running) for the price of one. If you would like to place an ad on campgroundmanagerjobs.com click here.
Thanks in advance:)

Campground Manager SoftwareŽ Updates
|
  The following is the latest upgrade information on Campground Manager SoftwareŽ.The the link to download it for our customers remains the same. You will have to enter your access code and password. Hope you enjoy it!
Version 7.30.03 released on Nov 22, 2007
Enhancements:
- add an automated method of changing customer source entries on the transaction screen. This feature assists the user in rooting out undesired or outdated marketing sources and replacing them with alternate source descriptions. It is handy when trying to consolidate sources or when phasing our old sources.
- Add an import feature to the meter reading list. The method allows a text file to be read into the meter list that matches readings with the appropriate site. .The file can be extracted from a Dolphin Hand Held meter reading device and synchronizes with CM to import readings. Other devices may be used if the import file can be customized to match CM requirements.
Bug fixes:

BOOKYOURSITE.COM Fee Changes
|
 As we have been advising people since last May of 2007, our Bookyoursite.com fees are going to $5 per transaction effective May 1/2008. This applies to all the people who have signed the Bookyoursite.com license agreement. Anyone who has not signed and submitted the agreement the fees are increasing to $5 effective January 1/2008. Again we began advising our customer base of this change over 6 months ago so hopefully no one has been caught off guard. The reasons for this are varied the least of which our competitors are charging double and sometimes triple what we collect. In order to stay current and drive business to the site we need to make this change. About 65% of our customers are passing along this fee to their camping customers so you might want to consider that option. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call or drop me a line.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated support hope we can earn your trust and your business.

Canadian Customers Only- GST reduction
|
 As some of Canadian Clients know the Federal Government of Canada has reduced the federal Goods and Services Tax to 5% effective January 1/2008. Just want to remind all our Canadian accounts to put that into effect in the system.
In order to change the tax rate in the system the following procedure should be used.
Tax Codes
Campground Manager Staff setup your initial "Tax Codes".
The first field on the "Tax Codes" screen is the "Tax Code", a one-letter code to describe the type of tax.
The "Description" allows you to edit this in order to get a full understanding of the type of tax listed. The "Rate
%" is the rate at which tax is calculated.
The "Is Tax Included in Price" can be used if your rates and prices include this tax. Taxes will be calculated in
the purchase, but the total price will not change from the purchase price.
If you need to update your "Tax Codes" to reflect changes in the amount of tax to be calculated, click the [Find]
button to locate the "Tax Code", press [Edit] and [Tab] through the screen until you get to the rate and type
the new value.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call the office.
