Customer Contact Wizard Impovements
(1.) It would be very helpful to see the service address listed in the Customer Contact Wizard as well customer number. Neither of these are included presently. Location number is there, which is very helpful, but when we need to eliminate groups of customers, we do not have associated service addresses memorized and so cannot tell who to eliminate and keep. Why make extra work when we have this awesome, powerful database with all of this information in it? We do not personally need "Linked Account number," but perhaps others do.

Allow line breaks in message communications
When composing an email, allow line breaks between the message's paragraphs, like they appear when sending out messages through the Customer Contact Wizard. As it is right now, no matter how you format the message, it is delivered as one paragraph. See attached example.

Automatic Website Maintenance Mode
We would like to be able to have our website go into maintenance mode every evening 15 before and after our batches settles. This would help immensely with reconciliation and customers who pay right when our batches close.We know there is a way to manually do it every single day, but we would like for it to be automatic.

Add Enrollment Date to DRAFT for Checking
Right now you can see the enrollment date when they set up auto pay with a credit card but it does not show the enrollment date they start auto draft from a checking account. This would be helpful to see this without pulling the file to see when they signed up for it.

Add Account Status Filter/Sort to Delinquency Register Report
During the 2025 User Group, feedback was provided that while UMS currently allows filtering by Account Status (Custom Account Status from Setup >> Account Status) on the Create Delinquency screen, this option is not available on the Delinquency Register Report. Utilities, including Northshore, rely on the Account Status flag during delinquency processes. Adding the ability to filter or sort by Account Status on the Delinquency Register would allow users to:
Quickly identify which accounts require delinquency actions.
Make the process more granular and streamlined.
Improve operational efficiency by aligning reporting with existing delinquency workflows.
Business Impact:

Bad debt maximum past due balance
When running the Bad Debt Process, we do not want accounts that have over $10 balance to calculate. It would be handy to be able to put in a Maximum Past Due Balance field similar to the minimum so we do not calculate for accounts that owe over $10.
We would like a field on the adjustment process screen as well to only take off credits under $10 or on the Open Balance Report let us enter an amount.

payment arrangement draft
It would help us if there was a payment arrangement draft mode where we can put the arrangement on the account in an inactive status, send out the paperwork to the customer (sometimes it is more than one party) and then after the agreement documents are signed, then activate the arrangement on the account. This way there isn't an active arrangement on the account while we are waiting for documents during which time a bill could post.

Memorized Report Parameters
I need to run several reports at the end of every month, and it would sure be nice if we were able to "memorize" each report and have a dedicated folder for "User Reports" to save time at the end of each month. For those that use QuickBooks, I'm thinking something like how you can memorize reports in their program. What do you think?

Apply Taxes Based on Taxing Authority and Rate Code - Not Just Rate Code
We currently have 6 different taxing authorities which requires us to maintain 7 different sets of rate codes. This means we have well over 200 rate codes. If taxes could be applied based on the combination of taxing authority and rate codes, we would only need to deal with 30-40 rate codes.

Add "Device Note" to service order task page
When crew is out in the field viewing work orders on a computer (iPad), and they pull up a work order, they are unable to see the "device note"/ meter location. It would be helpful if this was added to the viewing screen without having to select "print".

Ability to select default payment when batch has multiple payment types
It would be nice to set a default payment type when having a batch that allows multiple payment types. For example, everything is defaulted to cash when taking a payment when all types are allowed, however, the bulk of our workplace payments are by check so it would be nice to have it defaulted to a different option.

We appreciate your initiative and the value your idea brings. For this enhancement to be considered, we require additional support from the broader user community.

Consolidated bills
The ability to email a consolidated to the master account only. We were told that consolidated bills have to be printed and physically mailed. Our consolidated customer received their bills via email. The idea of a consolidated bill is good but there's room for much inprovement.

6.10 update - usage history button
What a treat viewing usage history on the enter readings screen, very helpful. Any chance you could enhance this more by modifying into the very same usage tab that's on the Account Control Panel? How great it would be to regroup every detail.
Thank you for your consideration,

Contacts should have the same "Type" fields as Customers
Contacts should also have a "Type" similar to the Customer Types "Individual, Profit, Non Profit, Government".
We need to enter business information as a contact but, are forced not to follow best practices and enter them as an individual with a first name and last name.

The IVR should honor and disallow payment methods. End users know how to extend shut-off periods, knowing that the IVR allows all payment methods.

Street number sorting in searches
I would love to see the street numbers (house/ address number part of address) in street address sort numerically as in 1,2,3,..10,11,12,..21,22,23...30,31...100,101, etc. instead of 1,10,100,...2,20,200,2001,21,22, etc. so that we can see true order of addresses when searching. Thank you! :)

autopay information - Bank draft
2 different account numbers using the same bank account information. Wants to be able to edit 1 customers bank information without editing the other customers bank information.
Basically what happened is that 1 customer, with 2 customer numbers using the same bank draft information get linked and when 1 changes it changes the other one. They want this to be separate so that it doesn't do that.
