February Features Update

Dear John Doe,

This email update contains some exciting information for you and for us! First of all, the February update this month included some important updates. I go into more detail on our blog, but a couple of key elements are:

• New AutoStuff tags for Breadcrumbs and Sub Menus
• "URL Manager" renamed to "SEO Manager" and now supports XML Site Maps
• v1.0 Release of the Social Media Manager module

As well, I'm pleased to announce that we're only a week away from releasing built-in management of Bistro Support Plans. This means that you and your clients will soon have the ability to manage your Support Plan subscriptions right from within Bistro (including upgrades, renewals and cancellations).  By providing the controls within Bistro, it will be easier for you to automate your own customer support efforts.

This new feature will include Support Plan pricing information within Bistro, and will allow end-users to subscribe via secure Credit Card payment. If you want to disable these payment options, you can. Disabling the payment options will prevent Bistro admins from seeing pricing and payment details (they will still be able to take advantage of any Support Plans that you subscribe to on their behalf). Disabling the payment options will hide them from within Bistro, but the options will still be visible to you from the distributors website.

To optionally disable online payment features for a specific license/website, follow these steps:

1. Log into the Bistro distributor website at www.lewismedia.com/distributors
2. Click on "Licenses" and find the license you want to modify
3. Click "Manage" and "Edit Details"
4. Change the "Payment & Pricing" option to "Do not allow Admins to see any pricing or payment-related information"
   
5. Click "Save"

If you would like more information about the Support Plans and what's included, please visit the Support Plans page on the distributor site, and the Support Plans FAQ page that goes into more detail.

Finally, as a reminder, our Kitchener office will be closing as of March 31, 2009 and ongoing support should be directed through the Lewis Media website and distributor help desk.

Cheers,

Joseph
