NorthStar ECM upgrades occur within our cloud servers in the early morning and are not location based. In order to properly access ECM, please make sure you have a constant internet connection and firewalls to allow access to our ECM website at ecm.cbsnorthstar.com. Please refer to the NorthStar Order Entry System Requirements for information on firewall allowances and access.

4. Improvements

NOTE: These are ECM items only. In some cases, the application portion of the work will be provided in a future application release. 

  • ECM Deploys - Publishing has been improved for sites and displays a better detailed configuration log of what data grid has been deployed to the site. 

  • ECM Integrations - The ECM Schedule API flag has been separated into its own tab. This needs to be flagged under the account features for visibility.  

  • ECM Jobs - Users are now unable to simultaneously flag both Tip declaration rule and permission "Can clock out without cashout (user not required to cashout before clock out)" under job permissions. An alert message will display this error.

  • Reports - Check Listing Report allows you to properly save it as a PDF format.
