July 10th, 2026

Version: Accounts Payable
What’s New?

Invoice Viewer

The AP module’s home base — a centralized list and detail view for every invoice across your portfolio.

Feature Overview:
The Invoice Viewer gives AP Specialists and Property Managers a filterable list of all invoices across their communities, organized into tabs for All, Awaiting AP Approval, Awaiting Manager Approval, and Ready to Pay. Selecting any invoice opens a full detail view with line items, approval history, payment history, workflow progress, inline compliance alerts, and a complete audit log. Approaching and overdue due dates are flagged visually in the list. Available on web.

Invoice Detail View

image

Benefits:

  • Every invoice, one place: AP staff can see all invoices across their communities in a single list, organized by workflow stage and filterable by status, payment type, and next action needed.
  • Overdue and approaching due dates, highlighted: Due dates within 7 days show in orange; past-due invoices show in red — so nothing slips through unnoticed.
  • The complete invoice record, one click away: The detail view shows everything about an invoice in one screen — line items, payment history, workflow progress, approvals, and a full audit log.
  • Inline alerts surface what needs attention: Expired vendor insurance, withholding flags, and potential budget overruns are called out directly on the invoice record.
  • Navigate without losing context: Prev/next arrows let AP staff move through their queue without returning to the list.

Invoice Actions

AP staff can now take the full range of actions on an invoice — pay, void, reissue, and advance workflow status — directly from the detail view.

Feature Overview:

Invoice Actions brings write capability to the Invoice Viewer. AP Clerks can process payments (full, partial, or combined with other invoices from the same vendor), void invoices, void individual payments, void and reissue payments in a single flow, view check images, and update workflow status — all from the invoice detail panel. Every action is logged automatically to the invoice audit trail. Available on web.

Paying an invoice

Voiding an invoice

image

Benefits:

  • Pay from the detail view: Process a full or partial payment on any Ready to Pay invoice without leaving the record. The payment modal pre-populates payment details and shows the current bank balance of the payment GL account before you confirm.
  • Combined payments, surfaced automatically: When invoices are flagged for combined payment, the payment modal pulls in all other eligible invoices for the same vendor — so the right invoices are grouped into a single payment in one step.
  • Void payments without voiding the invoice: A lost or stale check can be reversed on its own, returning the invoice to a payable state for reissuance — without touching the underlying invoice record.
  • Void and reissue in one flow: Void/Reissue voids the original payment and triggers a new one in a single action, so correcting a payment issued with wrong details doesn’t require re-entering the invoice.
  • Check images on demand: View a COPY-watermarked check image for any check payment directly from the Payment Summary — no need to locate the original document.
  • Advance workflow status without entering edit mode: Received, Validated, Post to GL, and On Hold steps can be toggled directly in the detail view and save immediately, with every change captured in the audit log.

Invoice Approvals

Invoices move through a structured, configurable approval workflow before reaching payment — with in-app notifications keeping the right people informed.

Feature Overview:

Invoice Approvals routes invoices through AP Clerk, Manager, and Board approval tiers before they are eligible for payment. Each approval level is configurable per community. Approvers receive in-app notifications when an invoice is waiting for their review and can approve directly from the Workflow Progress sidebar in the detail view. Administrators can approve at any level to unblock the queue when needed. Available on web.

AP Workflow Status’

image

 

Benefits:

  • Approve from the detail view: Approval steps in the Workflow Progress sidebar are actionable when it is your turn — no need to hunt for a separate approval queue or return to the list.
  • Notifications when action is needed: When an invoice advances to a state requiring approval, everyone with the appropriate permission for that community receives an in-app notification automatically.
  • Admin override unblocks the queue: Administrators can approve at any level — AP, Manager, or Board — when the designated approver is unavailable, keeping payment runs from stalling.
  • On Hold freezes the workflow: Placing an invoice on hold prevents any other approval state changes until the hold is explicitly released, so nothing advances accidentally while an issue is being resolved.
  • Approvals can be removed: If an approval is applied in error, it can be removed directly from the sidebar. The removal is logged, and the invoice returns to the prior state.

Invoice Payment Processing

Process a full payment run for multiple invoices in one batch — grouped by GL account, with bank balance projections before you commit.

Feature Overview:

Invoice Payment Processing lets AP Clerks select one or more Ready to Pay invoices from the list and process all payments in a single batch. A Review Payments modal opens showing the full batch grouped by payment GL account, with current and projected bank balances for each account. Individual invoices can be deselected before confirming. The batch reference is auto-generated and editable. Available on web.

 

image

Benefits:

  • One payment run for the full queue: Select any number of Ready to Pay invoices, review the batch, and submit everything in one action — no need to open and pay each invoice individually.
  • Bank balance before you commit: Each account group in the Review Payments modal shows the current balance and the projected balance after the batch, so overdrafts are visible before they happen.
  • Adjust the batch before confirming: Uncheck any invoice in the Review Payments modal to remove it from the current run without losing the rest of the selection.
  • Combined payments handled automatically: Invoices flagged for combined payment are grouped by vendor within each GL account, so a single net payment is issued per vendor rather than separate transactions.
  • Standalone batch check printing is not available in this release. Checks can be generated when processing individual invoice payments.
Manual Invoice Creation

Create, edit, and manage invoices from scratch directly in Manager — with a form that adapts to each community’s workflow settings and flags compliance issues before you save.

Feature Overview:

Manual Invoice Creation lets AP Clerks create invoices for any payee type — vendor, employee, other payee, or owner — using a structured form that adapts to the selected community’s AP workflow settings. The form shows only the fields and approval levels configured for that client. Vendor compliance alerts appear immediately on selection. Documents can be attached with a side-by-side PDF viewer open alongside the form. Invoices can also be edited from the detail view after creation, with all changes logged automatically. Available on web.

Benefits:

  • A form that matches your community’s workflow: The invoice form shows only the fields, approval tiers, and date options configured for the selected community — no extra fields, no guessing what’s required.
  • All payee types in one place: Create invoices for vendors, employees, other payees, and owners, with each payee dropdown filtered to eligible records for the selected community.
  • Compliance flags before you save: If the selected vendor has expired insurance or is flagged for withholding, an alert appears immediately — before the invoice reaches the queue.
  • Reference the original document while you type: Attach a vendor’s PDF and it opens in a side-by-side viewer, so the source document is visible while filling in the form.
  • Two ways to save: Use CREATE INVOICE to save and close, or CREATE & ADD ANOTHER to save and open a fresh form immediately — for AP staff working through a stack of invoices.
  • Edit invoices without voiding them: Unpaid invoices can be edited from the detail view, with only eligible fields unlocked based on invoice status and permissions. Every change is logged automatically with a before-and-after record.
  • On Hold and Reject, built into the workflow: Place an invoice on hold with a reason to pause processing without losing it, or reject it with a required explanation. Both actions are logged and reversible.
  • Recurring (memorized) invoice templates and ALLi-assisted autofill are not available in this release.

July 1st, 2026

Version: View Invoice Details
What’s New

Invoice Viewer

AP staff can now view the complete list and history of every invoice in their portfolio in Manager — the read experience is live, with invoice creation, approvals, and payment processing following through July and early August.

Feature Overview: The Invoice Viewer gives AP Specialists and Property Managers a centralized list of all invoices across their portfolio, organized into four tabs: All, Awaiting AP Approval, Awaiting Manager Approval, and Ready to Pay. The list supports filtering by status, payment type, and next available action, with column sorting and visual indicators for approaching and overdue due dates. Clicking any invoice opens a full detail view showing complete invoice data, payment history, workflow progress, approvals, inline alerts, and a chronological audit log. Available on web.

This is the first of six Accounts Payable features being released as each becomes production-ready. Invoice creation, recurring invoices, payment processing, approvals, and additional invoice actions are targeted for release through July and early August.

Benefits:

  • Every invoice, one place: AP staff can see all invoices across their communities in a single list, organized by workflow stage and filterable by status, payment type, and action needed.
  • Overdue and approaching due dates, highlighted: Due dates approaching within 7 days are shown in orange; overdue invoices are flagged in red — so nothing slips through unnoticed.
  • Complete invoice history, one click away: The detail view surfaces everything about an invoice in one screen — line items, payment history, workflow progress, approvals, and a full audit log.
  • Inline alerts surface what needs attention: Vendor insurance issues, withholding flags, and potential budget overruns are flagged directly on the invoice record, so staff can act without hunting for the context.
  • Navigate without losing your place: Prev/next arrows let AP staff move through their queue without returning to the list, keeping work moving.

Invoice creation, editing, payment processing, approvals, and void/reject actions are not yet available — those capabilities are coming in subsequent releases through July and early August.

May 29th, 2026

Version: Homeowner Ledger View
What’s New

Homeowner Ledger View
View a homeowner’s complete transaction history right from the unit record.
The new Ledger tab on the Unit landing page lets staff select any owner account and see every transaction with posting date, description, amount, open amount, and running balance — plus both the selected ledger balance and the total unit balance. Click any transaction to see related payments and GL entries, filter by date, type, and status, and spot entries flagged under an open delinquency. Available on web with a responsive mobile view. Requires AR transaction view and transaction account view permissions.

  • Faster account research: answer billing questions and confirm payment history from one screen.
  • Clear balance context: selected ledger balance and total unit balance are always labeled.
  • Built for scanning: the key amount columns stay pinned on desktop as you scroll.

Data Hierarchy Navigation Panel
Browse your entire portfolio and jump straight to any landing page.
A new Data Hierarchy option in the side navigation opens a panel showing divisions, clients, communities, groups, and units. Drill forward and back through each level, or search directly by homeowner name, address, community, division, or group. Click a community or unit to go straight to its landing page; your current selection stays highlighted. The panel shows only what you have permission to access, and is available on mobile via the hamburger menu as a full-screen view.

  • A second path to every record: browse your portfolio instead of searching by name.
  • Familiar navigation that lowers the learning curve as teams move more of their day into Manager.
  • Search built in across every level of the hierarchy.

Unit & Unit Account Notes
Capture, edit, and manage notes on a unit or account — with the latest note surfaced on the landing page.
The Notes tab now combines unit notes and unit account notes in one log, with unit account notes tagged and labeled with the contact name. A Latest Note section previews the most recent entry on the Unit landing page. Staff can add notes with a note type, category, visibility setting, and attachments; you can edit or delete notes you authored, with a brief undo window after deletion. Note type is set at creation and cannot be changed afterward. Available on web and mobile.

  • Shared context for your whole team: account history lives on the record, not in inboxes.
  • The latest note front and center on the Unit landing page.
  • Author-controlled editing keeps the log trustworthy, with undo to prevent mistakes.

March 25th, 2025

Bulk Print Queue for Letters

Managers and Administrators can now send Architectural Request and Violation letters to a centralized print queue, allowing all correspondence to be processed together in a single scheduled batch instead of sending each letter individually.

Feature Overview

The Bulk Print Queue introduces a streamlined way to manage letter generation across Architectural Requests and Violations. Wherever a letter can currently be generated, users will now see two options: Print Now and Send to Bulk Print. Choosing the latter stores a fully generated, print-ready letter in a centralized queue tied to the management company.

The Violations and Architectural Requests list views now include a Bulk Print mode that filters all items with letters queued for processing, allowing users to:

  • Select one or multiple queued items and process them as a single batch.
  • Monitor progress via background tasks and download the results once the job is complete. Background tasks have been updated to surface Bulk Print jobs alongside other async processes, with type filtering available to quickly locate items.

Bulk print jobs run asynchronously, so users can continue working while files are generated. The way each letter is delivered depends on how email delivery is configured for Architectural Requests and Violations for each homeowner — physical, electronic, or both. Letters sent physically include the generation of printable mailing labels. Letters sent electronically are delivered via email. Once the batch is complete, a results report is generated summarizing the outcome of the process. All generated files are stored in the history of the corresponding item (Architectural Request, Violation, etc.).

This feature is available on web and mobile.

  • Chronological list view with timestamps, author details, and file attachments.

Community Contacts:

  • Client Contacts: Displays contact name, title, membership, email, phone, and date range. Expired contacts are indicated with a count badge.
  • Vendor Contacts: Lists vendor name, contact name, email, and phone number.

Benefits:

  • Centralized Visibility: All critical info in one place.
  • Reduced Navigation: Fewer clicks to access what matters.
  • Operational Efficiency: Quick access to support daily community management tasks.

Benefits

  • Scheduled Mail Processing: Managers and Administrators can batch all outgoing physical letters and print them on a dedicated day, eliminating the need to print each letter as it is generated.
  • Centralized Queue Management: A single queue view consolidates all pending letters across Architectural Requests and Violations, giving users full visibility into what is waiting to be printed.
  • Non-Blocking Workflow: Because print jobs run as background tasks, users are free to continue their work without waiting for files to generate. A results report is generated automatically once the batch is complete.
  • Flexible Delivery: Each letter is processed according to the homeowner’s configured delivery preference — physical mail, electronic, or both — ensuring correspondence is sent through the right channel every time.
  • Mailing Labels Included: For letters sent physically, printable mailing labels are generated as part of the batch, streamlining the entire physical mail preparation process.
  • Full Audit Trail: All generated and printed files are saved to the history of each corresponding item, ensuring a complete and traceable record of all correspondence.

December 3rd, 2025

What’s New?

Payments Integrated in Manager

All Payments functionality is now built directly into the Manager experience, so users no longer need to navigate to the separate Payments product.

Feature Overview:
Users can access the full Payments toolset inside Suite Manager. This consolidates workflows and removes the need to switch products to complete payment-related tasks.

Benefits:

  • Single Experience: Payments tasks can be completed without leaving Manager.
  • Less Context Switching: Eliminates the extra step of opening the standalone Payments product.

Community Landing Page / Community Detail Page Improvements

The Community Landing Page and Community Detail Page now include ongoing improvements through newly added modules.

Feature Overview:
Each new module added to the Community Detail Page is part of this release, enhancing the community landing/detail experience and making key information easier to access in one place. As part of this update, we introduced the new Metrics Tab, which includes blocks with item counters (Violations, ARCs, Work Orders, Invoices, Delinquencies) that highlight items requiring accelerated or urgent action from CAMs. Clicking any of these counters takes users directly to the filtered list view of those items, enabling immediate action.

The Metrics Tab also includes two additional sections: one displaying the list of active standalone steps related to the community, and another showing Violations or Work Orders that have moved to Past Due.

Benefits:

  • Richer Community View: More information and tools surfaced directly on the landing/detail pages.

Feature Overview:

Users can now:

  • Search for Projects directly within Suite Manager.
  • Add Related Links to Projects (previously only supported for Steps).

This makes it easier to connect supporting content and cross-reference work.

  • Faster Project Discovery: Find projects quickly via search.
  • Stronger Context Linking: Related links extend knowledge and references beyond Steps into Projects.

Processing Invoices: Approving & Rejecting

You can now approve or reject invoices directly within Suite Manager, streamlining how communities review and act on incoming financial documents.

Feature Overview

This new enhancement introduces the ability for authorized users to approve or reject invoices from within the Invoices workflow. Each invoice record now includes clear action buttons, visual status indicators, and contextual messages that guide users through the decision-making process.

The new workflow supports roles responsible for financial operations, vendor management, and billing review. All actions are stored for audit purposes and integrate with existing ledger and reporting flows.

This feature is available in the web application.

Benefits:

  • Faster Financial Decisions: Eliminates back-and-forth emails by allowing decisions directly in the system.
  • Improved Accountability: Approval and rejection actions are logged for transparency and auditing.

Standard Search (Free-Tier Search Experience)

A new, non-AI search option gives all users access to fast, reliable keyword-based search throughout Suite Manager.

The new Standard Search provides a simplified search experience across communities, records, and operational data without relying on AI. Users can enter keywords and navigate directly to the content they need—perfect for customers who prefer deterministic results or operate in environments where AI search is not enabled.

This update ensures broad search capability across the platform while reserving more advanced, AI-powered Omnisearch capabilities for premium tiers.

Benefits:

  • Universal Availability: Ensures every Suite Manager customer has access to essential search capabilities.
  • Predictable Results: Offers clean, consistent keyword matching without AI interpretation.
  • Improved Navigation: Helps users move more quickly through common records and workflows.
Community Landing Page

A redesigned, read-only Community Landing Page centralizes vital community information in a modern, structured layout.

The new Community Landing Page introduces a modular, intuitive design built around four read-only components:

  • Fact Sheet: Core details such as name, address, identifiers, and community attributes.
  • Client Contacts: Key representatives and their roles for operational coordination.
  • Documents: Access to relevant governing and operational documents.
  • CC&Rs: Quick visibility into Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions associated with the community.
This redesign improves clarity and supports upcoming enhancements such as editing, deeper navigation, and integrated community insights.

Benefits:

  • Centralized Information Hub: Gives users a single, unified location to review community details.
  • Improved Clarity & Layout: Modernizes the experience, reducing the need to navigate multiple modules.
  • Future-Ready: Establishes the structural foundation for enhancements planned for early 2026.

November 3rd, 2025

What’s New?
Violation Management Enhancements

Community Managers now have more control and flexibility when managing violation communications and workflows.

Feature Overview:
Several updates improve how violation letters and fines are generated, sent, and tracked in Suite Manager. Managers can now send letters immediately using a new Send Now button in the Associated Letter section, or easily Resend and Regenerate letters as needed. Additional workflow updates allow users to manually advance violations to the next step, update appeal dates, and experience a refreshed interface with clearer text labels and improved layout consistency.

  • Greater Control: Take immediate action on violation letters without waiting for automated triggers.
  • Efficiency Gains: Quickly correct or resend correspondence directly from the violation record.
  • Improved Clarity: Updated labels and design elements make managing violation stages easier and faster.
What’s Improved
Reporting Reliability

Lots of bug fixes to ensure reports display data consistently without blank or missing results.

Previous Behavior:
Users occasionally encountered empty states after running a report, requiring manual refresh to view results.

Resolution:
The reporting service now automatically refreshes Recently Run Reports upon completion, ensuring data loads correctly every time.

Benefit:
Users always see current and complete report results without extra steps or confusion.
Invoice and Billing Accuracy

Financial data now calculates and displays correctly throughout billing workflows.

Previous Behavior:
Invoice amounts occasionally lost decimal precision, and batch totals sometimes displayed incorrect values.

Resolution:
Both invoice calculation and batch summary logic have been corrected to ensure accuracy in all billing displays.

Benefit:
Provides accountants and managers with trustworthy financial data, minimizing manual corrections.

October 6th, 2025

Version: 0.1.948

Create Violations
Easily log new violations from within Suite Manager and ensure consistent tracking across communities.


Feature Overview:

Community Managers can now create new violations directly from the Violations List or Property detail page. When creating a violation, users can select a category, define the violation item, capture violation and inspection dates, and attach photos or descriptions for context. The system automatically associates the violation with the correct homeowner, address, and community, ensuring accurate recordkeeping from the start.

Once created, violations appear instantly in the list view and can be linked to related Steps, ARCs, or Work Orders via Omnisearch.

Benefits:

  • Faster Data Entry: Streamlines the violation logging process by eliminating extra steps.
  • Improved Accuracy: Automatically links violations to the correct property and homeowner.
  • Better Recordkeeping: Allows users to include photos and detailed descriptions up front.

Update Violations
Maintain complete, accurate records with editable violation details and supporting attachments.

Feature Overview:
The new Violation Detail Page gives Managers and Admins full visibility into a violation’s lifecycle and provides tools to update details as needed. Users can:

  • Edit the description and corrective measure (Required Action) fields.
  • Add or remove photos and captions.
  • Manage appeal dates, inspection data, and inspector assignments.
  • Track letters, fines, and notes in separate tabs for clarity.

All updates are captured in the audit log, so users can see who made changes and when.

Benefits:

  • Transparency: Every update is tracked for full accountability.
  • Efficiency: Makes it easy to modify details without switching screens.
  • Comprehensive View: Combines letters, fines, and notes into one unified interface.

Advance Violations Through the Process

Move violations seamlessly through the full compliance workflow—from open to resolution.

Feature Overview:
Suite Manager now supports a guided violation workflow that mirrors Caliber’s established process. Users can advance a violation through three key stages: Open → Monitored → Closed, applying required actions and sending letters along the way.

Each action step supports:

  • Selecting and sending letter templates.
  • Editing or reprinting letters as needed.
  • Applying, waiving, or locking fines.
  • Updating Follow-Up By dates with validation.
  • Adding or updating the Corrective Measure (Required Action).

What’s Improved

Violation Management Experience
Enhanced reliability and user experience when managing violations.

Previous Behavior:
Users needed to switch between multiple Caliber modules to track or update violation details. Letter sending, fines, and corrective actions were managed in separate views, creating friction and slowing compliance work.

Resolution:
The new Violation Detail Page consolidates all functions, creation, updates, and advancement, into a single, intuitive screen. Users can now view status, send letters, assess fines, and update required actions without leaving the page.

Benefit:
A unified, modern interface that speeds up compliance workflows and provides a clearer picture of each violation’s history.

September 17th, 2025

  • Organization: Clear separation between group and individual reports.
  • Convenience: Quickly access recently generated report groups.

Architectural Notes Email Notifications

Managers can now send email notifications when adding a note to an architectural request, improving communication with homeowners and reviewers.

When creating a new note on an architectural request, managers can set visibility (Everyone, Managers & Reviewers, or Managers Only). Depending on visibility, optional checkboxes allow sending notifications to:

  • ARC Committee members (reviewers/board)
  • Homeowners linked to the request

Emails include note details (date, author, content) as well as request details (application number, type, association name, address, and a link). All notification actions are recorded in the request’s Actions/Notifications tab for tracking.

FRONTSTEPS

Caliber

June 25th, 2026

Version 5.90.11
What’s New?

Advanced Automation Improvements
Scheduled background jobs in Advanced Automation now run independently of one another, ensuring that a
long-running process for one community no longer delays jobs for others – scheduled jobs should no longer be
skipped or delayed.

Feature Overview
Advanced Automation has been updated so that background jobs will run independently and concurrently. This will
improve the predictability and stability of critical jobs like lockbox and AP Automation.

Benefits:

  • No more blocked jobs: Communities with time-sensitive automated tasks — such as lockbox processing or AP
    payments — will see those jobs execute reliably on their configured schedules, even if another community’s job
    is running simultaneously.
  • Improved reliability: Scheduled jobs that previously appeared to be silently skipped or missed will now fire as
    expected, reducing the need for manual intervention and support escalations.
  • Predictable performance: Advanced Automation will provide consistent, on-time execution across all customers
    and job types

Accounts Payable (AP) – Closed Period Protection
(Edenred & Avid customers)

Caliber now provides clear, actionable feedback when invoices or payments are submitted to a closed
accounting period via the API from our AP partners, preventing silent failures and helping teams resolve
posting issues quickly.

Feature Overview
When integrated AP systems (such as Edenred or Avid) submit invoices or payments via the Caliber API, it is possible for
a transaction to reference a period that has already been closed in Caliber’s accounting records. Previously, this could
result in unexpected behavior without clear guidance on what happened or how to resolve it.

This release introduces explicit handling for closed-period submissions:

  • Invoices submitted to a closed period: When an invoice is posted via the API to a closed accounting period
    and the client is on accrual accounting, Caliber will place the invoice on HOLD, record the original posting
    intent in the invoice log (including the attempted GL date). This preserves the invoice for review without
    corrupting the accounting period.
  • New alert — Invoice Posted to Closed Period: Users can subscribe to a new system alert to be notified
    when this occurs. The alert includes the invoice number and the attempted posting date, and clicking the alert
    navigates directly to the invoice for quick resolution.
  • Payments submitted to a closed period: When a payment is posted via the API to a closed period, Caliber
    will now return a clear error response — “Cannot post the payment to a closed period” — to the payment
    partner and generate a separate alert advising staff to address the transaction in Caliber or coordinate with
    their AP provider to avoid an out-of-balance condition.

 

Benefits:

  • Clear visibility into posting exceptions
  • Accounting integrity: Invoices are held rather than silently posted to closed periods, keeping financial records
    clean and auditable.
  • Faster resolution: Direct links from alerts to the affected invoice reduce the time it takes to identify and resolve
    closed-period posting exceptions

Change of Invoice Interface for Board Members

Feature Overview:

This update allows board members to see invoices they need to provide votes/approvals for on a specific tab titled ‘Board Member’ and all invoices on the ‘Invoices’ Tab .

Web Portal Version 2.2.52
What’s New?

Custom Logo Upload for Enhanced Branding
We’re excited to introduce a new feature that brings a whole new level of personalization to the platform: Custom Logo Upload for Management Companies and Communities. This enhancement empowers portal administrators to represent their branding more effectively by customizing logos for management companies and individual communities.

For Administrators:
Admins can upload a custom logo to represent their entire company, ensuring their branding is reflected across all communities. Also, Admins can upload unique logos for specific communities. If both company and community logos are set, the community logo will take precedence, displaying it exclusively for that community, formats supported .png, .jpeg, .svg. This feature will be released on demand, for enablement request access to [email protected].
Benefits:

  • Enhanced Personalization: Showcase your unique branding across the platform, reinforcing ownership and community identity.
  • Flexibility: Differentiate specific communities by assigning unique logos tailored to their identity.
  • Consistency: Maintain a professional, branded appearance across all pages where logos are displayed.
What’s Improved?

Work Orders Hidden When Board Members Attempt to Create in Standalone Communities
We’re excited to announce an enhancement to the “Board Members Can Create Work Orders” functionality, implementing a better user experience for standalone communities without accounting provider integrations.

For Board Members:
We have identified a scenario for standalone communities without accounting provider integrations regarding the “Board Members Can Create Work Orders” in the FRONTSTEPS Community platform. The entire Work Orders feature is hidden from Board Members, not just the ability to create them, to make Work Orders visible again, Board Member permissions must be manually adjusted, and this action was not providing a best-in-class user experience.

Benefits:

  • Improved Usability: Board Members can now perform their duties by accessing and managing existing Work Orders, even if the creation feature is disabled.
  • Aligned Expectations: The functionality now behaves consistently with role-based permissions, eliminating the need for manual intervention to restore Work Order visibility.

Workflows: Intelligent Checklists in Step Creation (Pro tier feature)
Transform the Step creation in FRONSTEPS Manager modal into a collaborative workflow builder that mixes automation from ALLi with human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Managers can assign tasks to ALLi, schedule and recur work, embed structured prompts, and route individual checklist items to teammates—all from one place.

Feature Overview:
What’s New:

Intelligent Budget Generation

Intelligent Budget Generation guides Community Managers through the complete annual budgeting process in one connected experience.

Managers begin by selecting the community and budget year, entering expense-growth assumptions, choosing an insurance projection method, uploading a Reserve Study, selecting a reserve-funding approach, and providing any known issues or additional community context. Each step is validated as the Manager progresses, and a final review screen summarizes the assumptions before the budget is generated.

Using Caliber general-ledger data and the Manager’s inputs, the budgeting engine then creates a proposed annual operating budget using a transparent calculation hierarchy:

Manual Override → Schedule Override → Annualized YTD with Growth → Prior-Year Budget → Prior Actual → CPI → Placeholder

Every budget line identifies how its value was calculated, making the resulting budget fully traceable and easier to audit. Account mapping also helps apply a consistent budgeting structure across communities.

The generated budget includes the supporting schedules Managers expect, including bad debt, insurance-renewal blending, reserve funding, planned projects, Balance Sheet statements, and Income and Expense statements.

Once the baseline budget is ready, ALLi evaluates each general-ledger account individually and recommends potential adjustments. These recommendations are grounded in the community’s historical Caliber data, shared community context, uploaded documents, Manager-provided notes, and relevant market or inflation information.

Each ALLi recommendation includes:

  • The recommended percentage and dollar adjustment
  • An explanation of the recommendation
  • An option to apply or dismiss the recommendation

Recommendations appear in the Budget Viewer alongside the baseline budget. Managers can apply, review, undo, or dismiss recommendations while totals update automatically. Lines modified using an ALLi recommendation are visually identified, and the reasoning remains available for review.

When the budget is complete, the Manager can generate a final FRONTSTEPS Excel workbook with live formulas. The workbook reflects the final values shown in the Viewer and includes an automatically populated Caliber Import tab to help streamline loading the approved budget back into Caliber.

 

Benefits:

One guided budgeting workflow
Managers are guided from initial assumptions through final export without needing to understand the underlying mechanics of workbook construction.

  • Formula-accurate and traceable
    Every number comes from Caliber data, an explicit assumption, a supporting schedule, or a Manager override. Each budget line explains how it was calculated.
  • Account-level intelligence
    ALLi evaluates individual accounts instead of applying a single growth percentage across the entire budget.
  • Managers remain in control
    ALLi provides recommendations, but nothing is changed without the Manager choosing to apply it. Recommendations can also be reversed at any time.
  • Consistent across a portfolio
    Account mapping and standardized calculation logic make it easier to produce consistent budgets across multiple communities.
  • Board-ready Excel output
    The final workbook contains live formulas, reflects the reviewed budget, and includes the information needed for board and accounting review.
  • Ready for Caliber
    The automatically populated Caliber Import tab reduces the manual work required to enter an approved budget back into the accounting system.

What’s Improved:

  • Replaces the chat-based Budget Draft Agent with a structured, validated experience designed around the way Community Managers build budgets.
  • Eliminates the need to export data, rebuild formulas, repair workbook errors, and repeat the same spreadsheet process for every community.
  • Replaces blanket percentage increases with account-specific recommendations grounded in historical and community-specific information.
  • Gives Managers a clear record of what changed, why it changed, and which values were influenced by ALLi.
  • Brings budgeting intake, generation, analysis, review, and export together in FRONTSTEPS Manager.

Why It Matters:

Budget preparation has traditionally required Community Managers to export general-ledger information, gather prior budgets, review financial statements, rebuild formulas, validate assumptions, and repeat the process for every community they manage.

Intelligent Budget Generation brings that process into one guided workflow.

Budgets that previously took days of spreadsheet work can now be created through a faster, more consistent, and fully traceable process. ALLi performs the account-level analysis while the Community Manager retains final control over every change.

Primary users: Community Managers, accountants, finance teams
Secondary users: Board members and other members reviewing the completed budget

Benefits:

  • Hybrid Automation, On Your Terms: Seamlessly blend AI and human steps so routine work is automated while key decisions stay with people.
  • Clear Ownership & Accountability: @mentions assign every item to either ALLi or a teammate, eliminating ambiguity and handoff delays.
  • Consistency at Scale: Markdown prompts standardize instructions, ensuring ALLi delivers predictable, repeatable results across communities.
  • Faster Cycle Times: Scheduling and recurrence reduce lag between steps and keep recurring work moving without manual kicks.
  • Richer, Traceable Audit Trail: ALLi’s comment posts and auto‑attached outputs create a complete record of what ran, when, and by whom.
  • Fewer Reworks Through Context: By reading prior comments, ALLi tailors follow‑up actions to the latest information rather than starting from scratch.
  • Flexible Orchestration: Reorderable checklists make it easy to adapt processes as requirements change—no heavy reconfiguration needed.

Workflows: Intelligent Checklists in Step Creation (Pro tier feature)
Transform the Step creation in FRONSTEPS Manager modal into a collaborative workflow builder that mixes automation from ALLi with human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Managers can assign tasks to ALLi, schedule and recur work, embed structured prompts, and route individual checklist items to teammates—all from one place.

Feature Overview:
The updated Step creation experience now functions as a lightweight workflow engine tailored to HOA operations. When creating a Step, managers can:

  • Assign ALLi as an Assignee: Choose ALLi as the task owner for any checklist item to have it executed automatically in the background.
  • Build Reorderable Checklists: Break a Step into clear, movable checklist items to mirror the exact process you follow.
  • Embed Structured Prompts (Markdown): Add rich, markdown-based instructions to guide ALLi—include data points, links, and formatting to standardize outcomes.
  • Use Inline @Mentions for Routing: Assign items with @mentions (e.g., @alli for AI execution or @alex for a teammate). Mentions drive automatic assignment and clarify ownership.
  • Automated Comment Responses: As ALLi completes her items, she posts results directly into the Step’s comments—creating a running, auditable transcript.
  • Context-Aware Follow‑Ups: ALLi automatically uses prior comments and outcomes as context for subsequent items, improving relevance and continuity.
  • Auto‑Attach Outputs: Files or reports generated by ALLi are attached to the Step automatically for easy review and sharing.
  • Hybrid Execution Rules: ALLi executes only the checklist items addressed to @alli and pauses when the workflow reaches items assigned to people. Once the human completes their item, processing continues with subsequent AI-assigned tasks—no manual restarts required.

Benefits:

  • Hybrid Automation, On Your Terms: Seamlessly blend AI and human steps so routine work is automated while key decisions stay with people.
  • Clear Ownership & Accountability: @mentions assign every item to either ALLi or a teammate, eliminating ambiguity and handoff delays.
