Notifications can be set for special customers. Special can either be good or bad. For example, set notifications on customers that are behind on their balance so that no additional service is performed until the pay past balances. Or set notifications on important customers that notify managers or other key personnel that new service is being performed for these VIP customers.

First you will create the generic notification rules and message, and then you can assign the notification to your customers.


Setup notification:


1. In the Setup module, select Notifications.


2. Click Add.


3. Fill out the notification:

- Action – select the action that will prompt the notification (e.g. creating a new service order would be “add”, closing a proposal would be “close”)


- Allow Alert User –an alert is a pop up window that will open when a user takes the action in the module setup in the notification. The message that pops up in the alert is setup by clicking Message in the Notify Types window.
