CRM: Settings

How do I configure my CRM Settings?

To manage Settings related to CRM, navigate to CRM > Settings.

From here, you can select the section from the vertical menu tabs.

Company Settings

This is where you will see the settings specifically for companies. Here you will see settings for Circles related to Companies and the Company Match Option that is available in Kickoff forms.

AUTOMATICALLY CREATE A CIRCLE FOR EACH COMPANY YOU CREATE? 

When enabled, this will automatically create a circle for any Company you create. These Circles can then be used to assign various elements in the platform such as Portal Pages, Shared Folders, etc. This also means that as Contacts are added/removed from the Company they will automatically be added/removed from the things that are assigned to that Company via the Circle.

Company Match Option

Here you will set the percentage threshold for Company Match. This function is enabled in a Kickoff form allowing a Contact to input their Company Name in a text field. The percentage you set here will be the threshold to match how similar a Company name needs to be to assign them to an already existing Company or create a new Company. If you have this set at 75% and a Company name that is placed in the Company Input field that is 75% or more of a match to an already existing Company will be added to that existing Company. If the Company name that is placed in the Company Input field is less than 75% of a match to an existing Company, a new Company will be created.

SALESPERSON "CLAIM" VISIBILITY OPTIONS 

In SHARED Visibility Mode, when a Primary Contact represents more than one Company, then each of those Companies can be claimed by a different Salesperson. In these cases, each of those Salespersons will automatically SHARE visibility of the Primary Contact that their respective Companies have in common. Each Company can have only one primary Salesperson. That Salesperson (or an Admin) can share the visibility of that Company with other Salespersons.

A Salesperson can claim Companies that are unclaimed and they can unclaim Companies to which they are assigned. A Salesperson can claim an individual Contact who is not Primary or associated with a Company. That Salesperson (or an Admin) can share the visibility of that Contact with other Salespersons.

In EXCLUSIVE Visibility Mode, only ONE Salesperson will be allowed visibility of a Network (Primary Contact and any Companies that are represented by that Primary Contact). When a Salesperson claims or is assigned visibility to a Company or a Primary Contact, then that Salesperson will be assigned EXCLUSIVE visibility of the entire Network. If another Salesperson is currently assigned to any of the Companies in a Network and the EXCLUSIVE rules are triggered, then that Salesperson will instantly be replaced and lose visibility of the Primary Contact and all Companies in the Network.

A Salesperson can claim Companies that are unclaimed and they can unclaim Companies to which they are assigned. A Salesperson can claim an individual Contact who is not Primary or associated with any Company. That Salesperson (or an Admin) can share the visibility of that Contact with other Salespersons.

Hide form title: Remove the Title of the Form.
