- Longer Book Names
Both new and existing book titles can be increased up to 10 characters now, which will help you gain better insight into the contents and purpose of each book. Clearly described, longer book titles also help reduce training time and increase employee confidence.

To provide better insight, book columns in the Main tab of Asset Detail can now be adjusted to be very narrow or very wide. If you would prefer to restore the original column width, you simply have to click the resize icon.
- New Report Enhancements
In addition to displaying the book title and FYE month, reports now additionally include the group name. This appears in the right side of the header for the Depreciation Expense Report, Disposal Report, Transfer Report, and Fixed Asset Summary Report.
- New Edit Company Feature
In addition to giving you the freedom to add more books, this new feature displays unused books and lets you choose if you want to show closed books in the asset detail. You can also use the Edit Company feature to turn books off entirely for a company.
