Welcome, New Customers! Pre1 Software is excited to welcome our newest customers:  Hot Springs Village Voice and Aspen Daily News. We're glad to have you aboard! Got Report Favorites? One of SmartPublisher's report features is a handy one—selecting reports as favorites! Marking a report as a favorite provides a quick and easy way to filter the list of reports by those you use most often.
