Tips & Tricks in Review: January 2022

Written by Alexa Mateman | Feb 2, 2022 6:37:50 PM

Every week we send out an email to existing clients with helpful tips and tricks for using Details Flowers Software. The Support Team looks at trending questions each month and works to identify ways we can help to spread knowledge to everyone using the platform. Make sure you're subscribed to the Education & Support messages from Details to get these helpful emails! 

Here's a recap of what we covered in January in the Tips & Tricks series!


Authorized Users

Every Details account comes with at least two authorized users. If you have an Enterprise account, your account comes with four users. Let's check out how to add and remove users to and from your account and learn more about the different permission levels available!

Adding & Removing Users

To manage the users for your account, open the main menu, select 'Settings', and then select the 'Authorized Users' page from the resulting options. Once you're on the Authorized Users page, you'll see any existing users and invitations, and some options to add and remove authorized users:

  • Adding a New User: Click the 'Send Team Member Invite' in the center of the page to get started, then enter the users name and email address. You'll also need to select their permission level, which we'll look at down below. Click 'Send Invitation' to complete!

Note: The invitation will be sent by email and must be claimed within 24 hours!

  • Removing an Existing User: Click the 'X' icon on the right side of any of the existing users (or invitations) to remove them from your account.

 

Permission Levels

Each user has a permission level, and there are three options. The permission level is set when a user is added, and then can be edited by users with greater permissions (i.e. an Owner can edit a Manager). The permission levels are as follows:

  • Owner
  • Manager
  • Employee

For a full breakdown of what each level has access to, check out the Support Center!


The Event List Search

The Event List is best known for housing all of your events in Details. When you get to a point where you have hundreds of events, what do you do when you need to find a specific event? The answer is simple: by using the Event List Search and Filters option!

Searching The Event List

In the upper right-hand corner of your Event List, you will see the 'Search' button. The search area will initially show up with three different search criteria: Client Name, Event Name, and View.


 

To the left, you will see a drop-down menu where you can select from 29 different options! In addition, any Custom Properties you may be utilizing in your events that are set to 'Searchable' can also be selected from the drop-down menu. Click the 'Add' button to add any filter to your search criteria.

Saving A Search

If you have a search that you are running over and over again, you can actually save that search! Follow these steps:

  • Click the 'Menu' button in the upper right-hand corner
  • Select 'Save Search/Report' or you can choose to 'Save As Default'
  • Choose if you would like to share your save with the rest of your team and if you would like to save the values (information already in the search fields).

Changing Tax Rates


The Event Defaults

Found under the Company Settings of the main menu (top-left corner) is your Event Defaults page. There are quite a few things to do here, but the main idea is that this is your default worksheet that is loaded up each time you create an event.

We're going to focus only on the taxes portion today, so if you're not familiar with the Event Defaults, this is a great time to take a moment and review this Support Center article breaking down the whole page ๐Ÿ‘‰ The Event Defaults

Once you're on the Event Defaults, you'll see the 'Taxes' worksheet section near the top (unless you moved it) and then you should enter your new tax rates and save your changes, as seen below!

Super important note! Changes made to the Event Defaults will only affect events you create moving forwardSo this update to the taxes is not changing events you already have in the system, which is a nice segue into the next bit here ๐Ÿ‘‡

Updating Taxes for Existing Events

The process of updating the taxes for your existing events is quite similar, but with a few extra steps before we enter the new rates and save our changes. From the worksheet of any of your events, you can access the 'Taxes' worksheet section and edit just the same as in the Event Defaults.

Typically, the 'Taxes' section isn't going to be displayed by default on event worksheets, so you should follow these steps to pull the section in for you to edit:

  • Click the 'Menu' button in the top-right of the Design Board panel on the left.
  • Select 'Edit Worksheet' from the available options.
  • Locate the 'Taxes' worksheet section and drag-and-drop it onto the worksheet.

Now you can edit the rate and save your changes. Remember, this process may need to be repeated for any existing events in your account!

The Client Quick Menu

At the top of every event in Details you will see the client's name and event date. Did you know that you can click that area and see a TON of information about the client and their event? Let's dive in and explore everything this feature has to offer

Contact & Event Info

The first sections you will see when opening the Client Quick Menu are the 'Client Info' and 'Event Info' sections. Here, you will find the client's phone and email as well as the event's name and date.

Clicking the 'Edit' button next to 'Contact Info' will take you directly to that client's record and clicking the 'Edit' button next to 'Event Info' will take you over to the Details page for that event! 

 

View Documents

When clicking on 'View Documents' the menu will switch over allowing you to view every time the Proposal has been published and every time the proposal has been signed. Clicking on any version listed in either section will allow you to view the PDF from that particular iteration of the Proposal PDF. 

At the very bottom, you will see an option to 'View All Documents'. This will take you directly over to the 'Documents' section of your event where you can view the Executive Summary, Recipe PDF, and Delivery PDF.
