To download and install the 8.x Update: (you must have current password) Ensure you view the Version Change notes after you download and install this update.

There is a major update to BailSafe:

You must run this update on EACH workstation and or server that you have BailSafe on (this is a one time process only):  

Workstation Update

Then - update BailSafe itself for the program updates:

BailSafe Update

UPDATE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Users can download and install updates (after getting the password).

 

1) Ensure everyone is out of the Bail-Safe software - especially if you are running a network setup.

 

1) Backup your Bail-Safe software - don't you dare skip this step! You need to backup c:\bigbond\ (all files and subdirectories).

 

2) Download the update file by clicking on the UPDATE link. You will be first be prompted for the username and password to access this item. You will then next be asked if you want to OPEN the file or SAVE it to your computer. You can do either, but the easiest thing to do would be to select OPEN.

 

If you elect to save it to your harddrive (which you can easily do) then you must ensure you know where you are putting the file on your harddrive. You must then locate the file once downloading is complete, double-click on it, and extract the files to the c:\bigbond\ directory.

 

3) If you selected OPEN, you will first see a dialogue box that indicates you are OPENING the file ( it is actually being downloaded to a temporary directory on your harddrive).

 

 

Once downloading (to Temporary Folder) is finished, you will see a box that looks like this:

 

 

 

5) Start the unzip process on the update file by clicking on the UNZIP button. As long as you are unzipping to the C:\BIGBOND\  folder (which you probably should be) then you are good to go. Ensure the OVERWRITE warning box has a check in it.

 

Once unzipping is finished, you are presented with a dialogue box indicating this - close that dialogue box. Then close the WinZip Self-Extractor window.

 

6) Once this process is complete, go into Bail-Safe. Go to Utilities, System Update and execute the system update function. Once this step is completed you are finished updating your system - restart Bail-Safe.

 

NOTE: If you elected to SAVE the file instead of OPEN it, you will select a place to save the update file to on your hard drive. Once the saving is complete, you must go to that location on your hard drive, double click on update.exe and then go through the unzipping to the bigbond directory as indicated above. You would also execute the System Update function from within Bail-Safe.

On Colorado Commissioner of Insurance report - If you want the SURETY COMPANY POA column filled in, you must select the SURETY BONDS option on the parameter screen in the SELECT THE BOND TYPE specification.

On Colorado Commissioner of Insurance report - This report prints all PAYMENTS made on bonds during the time period in question. The trigger is payments from the TRANSACTION system. Bond ID's from the payment screen are matched to bonds in the bond screen to then retrieve the information on the bond itself for the report. The bond data and payment data is then printed on the report. This being the case - payments made on a bond must have the bond id filled! Payments made on a bond must also have the appropriate receipt number filled in on the PAYMENT screen.

Bonds written during the time period - but that have NO payments - are also printed on the report. If you want a receipt to show up in a case like this - enter it into the receipt field on the bond screen itself. If the system does not find a payment receipt number ( on the transaction screen), nor a bond receipt number (bond screen) - then it will put the bond id number in the receipt field of the report.

On Colorado Commissioner of Insurance report -
An option has been added:
On New Annual - Prevent repeating Bond Amount / Bond Fee?
In the examples shown the date range of the report is 07/01/2004 - 06/30/2005
What this means is this - If a bond has 4 payments like so - consider these columns on the report:

bondid bonddate bondamt bondfee amtpaid...........
jp144  6/01/2005 14,000    1400      100
jp144  6/07/2005 14,000    1400      250
jp144  6/14/2005 14,000    1400      120
jp144  6/21/2005 14,000    1400      160

If you select this new option your output will be changed so that you are not showing bondamt and bondfee more than once:

bondid bonddate bondamt bondfee amtpaid...........
jp144  6/01/2005 14,000     1400       100
jp144  6/07/2005         0          0       250
jp144  6/14/2005         0          0       120
jp144  6/21/2005         0          0       160

Additionally, for this new option on this report, if a payment is made on a bond -
any bond written WHENEVER, then that payment is going to be show on the
report. BUT - if the payment was made on a bond that was originally written on
a date that does NOT fall in the current date range, then the bondamt
and bondfee figures are zeroed out:

bondid bonddate bondamt bondfee amtpaid...........
jp96     6/01/2003          0          0       100

This done this way because you already reported the bondamt and bondfee for this bond on a previous report!
 

10/06/2005 Modified the charge code field to allow up to 20 characters.
Modified Colorado Commissioner of Insurance Report to (New Annual) to either include or not include detailed charge, payment and receipt number information.

When you update your system with this new setting, it is turned off by default.
If you turn this setting on, the the following fields will be visible on the main Client Screen:

Status Code
Promise to Pay
Told Client Court Date
Bad Need Tracking fields

These were specialized fields for a client. Most others will have no need for these fields. If you do use them in your system, you will have to turn this setting on in the system settings screen.

08/10/2005 Added a receipt number field to the bond screen for those of you who use receipt numbers in addition to power or certificate numbers.

Altered Colorado specific report(s) to show the reciept number (if available) on the Bond Register.

Changed the client screen: Clients with a forfeited bond with a judgment paid will have their screen appear in a dark red color.
In this case, the system looks at the Judgment Paid Date field to determine whether or not a date is there, and if so, is it less than (earlier than) today's date or not - if so, then the screen will be a dark red.

07/19/2005 Added option to RPT4 - Colorado report(s) to substitute indemnitor name in the collateral field.
