Introduction
Welcome to the NCS Circulation 2025-0.0 release. This major release introduces a wide range of enhancements across various modules of the Circulation Management System, including customer service, route service, accounting, setup, extracts, and payments.
In this release, a new feature, Churn Retention, has been added to identify customers at risk of churning. Additionally, a new “Use Import File” option has been added to the Extend Expire Dates Utility, allowing for file imports. A new “Subscribe” section has also been introduced in the Business Rule setup screen, along with a set of new business rules. The Menu Security feature, previously available only in the Character User Interface (CHUI), is now accessible through the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Furthermore, the NavigaPay suite has been updated to include two new payment vendors, Eigen and ImpressPay (now FluidPay). The Credit Card Surcharge feature has been modified to allow a predetermined surcharge to be applied to Subscription Rate Terms, with the option to include taxes on the surcharge. The Import Demographic Answers screen has been enhanced to support demographic imports for both Subscription and Account demographics from flat files.
Moreover, Cardholder Initiated Transaction (CIT) and Merchant Initiated Transaction (MIT) functionalities have been added for Braintree payment processing. New fields and file changes have been introduced in Subscribe Extracts, including updates to the occupant_name.txt and address_master.txt files, as well as the addition of an address_master_detail.txt file. A new “Full Address” parameter has also been added to the Subscribe Extract screen.
This major release also includes important bug fixes across various modules of the application.
