New tool to repurpose a workstation from a secondary to a primary. This is an especially useful tool when used with the auto-backup function during an auction. It can save your bacon on auction day if your primary computer dies!

Invoice page headers and footers can now be customized by auction in lieu of the master settings & options. If you leave these blank the system will use the existing invoice page header/footer option in Settings & Options.

Changed the lead in the list of items in CO Maintenance to start with an asterisk if the item is using a distinct commission structure

Added ability to define a default Inventory Type by customer for use when clerking non-cataloged auctions. This is handy for our customers that conduct multi-consignor non-cataloged auctions and need to define certain consignors as non-taxable. This eliminates the reliance on the clerk to remember to manually change the inventory type while clerking.

Added ability to import commission/buyback structures when importing customers.
