Brands are created and managed via the Address Book.
Only users with the ‘Manage Brands’ permission can create or edit Brands.
Steps to Create a ‘Brand’
- Go to Address Book
- Select the ‘Brands‘ Tab
- Click ‘Create Brand’
- Enter the Name and details for the Brand:
- If you have not yet created a Master Client to provide a grouping for the Brand, see the steps below for ‘Create Master Client‘ on how to create a Master Client.
- Once the Master Client is created, you can go back and edit the Brand and update the Master Client setting.
- Changing the Master Client for a Brand has no affect on the Projects linked to the Brand. The only affect is how the Projects linked to the Brand will show in ‘Roll-Up’ Master Client Reports.
- Click ‘Save’ to save the new Brand.
- Map the Brand to the required Offices
- The new Brand will not be available to Users to access until the Brand is mapped to their Office – OR – to Users specifically.
- To map a Brand to an Office or User, simply click ‘Edit’ for the Office or User and select ‘Brand Mapping‘
Tips for Creating Brands:
-Think about which Master Client the Brand belongs to — this impacts reporting
-If the Master Client doesn’t exist yet, it’s easier to create it first
-Before creating a new Brand, check for duplicates (e.g. alternate spellings)
-A Brand must be mapped to an Office (or User) before it appears in the Project Wizard or –Reporting Filters
