Booking Payments

 

New

  

Xero and QuickBooks users can now view and manage payments for each booking, after payments are made to talent in Xero and QuickBooks.

You'll notice a new Payments section appears after Expenses in the talent's tab in the booking, listing the payments made to them and any outstanding amount still due.

In the example above, a $4,800 payment leaves a zero-balance due, based on a gross rate of $6,000 less Agency Commission of $1,200.

If the December 16 payment is removed, the amount due will be $800:

So you'll easily be able to tell exactly what has been paid to the talent, and if there is any outstanding balance due.

Activity Badges

 

New

  

You'll now see new activity badges appearing at the top of your bookings, talent, and contact profiles, illustrating activities or statuses at-a-glance.

New "Amount" inclusive mode

 

New

  

Syngency's inclusive mode was previously based on percentage only, which calculated like this:

Inclusive Rate = New Amount + Percentage

image.png

We have now released a new "Amount" inclusive mode, which calculates the inclusive rate by subtracting the percentage of the original rate from the rate:

Inclusive Rate = New Amount - ( New Amount / Percentage )

image.png

You can select which Inclusive Mode your agency uses from Settings > Accounts > Inclusive Fees:

Mass talent actions

 

New

  

It's now possible to mass-select and manage the divisions, groups, tags, and published status of multiple talent at once.

Hovering over a talent headshot will display a checkbox which can be clicked to select/deselect the talent, or use Select All/None from the Select menu in the top-right of the talent list.

Once you have selected talent, click the Select menu, and choose the action to be applied to all selected talent.

Reimbursement summary for talent statement PDFs

The PDF version of talent statements now shows a summary of any expenses reimbursed from jobs during the selected date range, so the talent has a clear understanding of what is being reimbursed from specific jobs:

Bookouts and Notes on Schedules calendar

 

New

  

Previously you could only manage bookouts and chart notes from a talent's chart.

We've now added these features to the main Schedules chart, so you can quickly manage agency-wide chart notes and bookouts for your talent – all from the one screen.

Clicking (or clicking and dragging for multiple days) on the chart will display a popup menu from which you can select the type of entry you would like to add.

Clicking on a Bookout will open its details in a modal window, so you can edit it directly, without having to be redirected to the talent's profile.

We hope this makes managing your chart even faster in Syngency.

New

  

If you've assigned a contact in the Production tab of a booking, that contact now has their own Productions tab in their contact profile. You'll see a list of all the productions (bookings) they've been added to.
