To rename a directory:

  • Accounts
  • System Settings
  • Object Control
  • Edit
  • Select Object Key
  • Type ‘Lookup Tables’
  • Check the box for the directory that you want to rename and enter the name e.g. ‘Export Value Indicator’
  • Save

(If all directories A-C are currently used then the Web Directory is another option. This directory cannot be renamed though)
Enter the sector codes provided by the BCC into the directory from

Lookup tables -Organisation-your named list – List A (or B or C)

(If you need to remove a lot of existing unused codes contact Corsair)

Adding Delegates as Contact Names

Adding Delegates as Contact Names

 

By default all delegates do not get added as new contacts as some companies may send 10s , 100s of delegates, or guests etc etc who will not be wanted as contacts on the database. Also there maybe problems with user coming in as Jon Williams/ Jonathan Williams and duplicates getting added if it was just automatic.

For these reasons it necessary to choose which delegates to add as contacts.

On the Delegate booking screen there should be a Delegate Admin tab – if you click on that its should give you a list of the delegates on that booking who are not contacts for that company.

You should look at the drop down list of existing contacts and check they are not already on – if not then click the “Add as new contact” button and they can then be added.

If alternatively – Jon Williams is found as Jonathon Williams in the drop down list, select Jonathon Williams in the drop down – Make sure the record selector (the arrow) is on the right record in the contacts list as click the “Match Selected Delegate as this contact” button.

Create new login for Debbie
Lookup Tables > General > Employees > Add
Enter details and choose Rebecca from the ‘Select User to copy’ list’

To move outstanding contacts
Modules > Contact History > What’s Outstanding
