Structure of cards

Cards consist of the following 10 parts:

Name [1.1.]

By default it consists of the following parts:

  • Company with contact person: Business name + default contact person’s name
  • Company without contact person: Business name
  • Private individuals: Client’s name

To modify a name, click on it, then on the [Save name] button.

Modification date [1.2.]

To see the exact date of last modification and the user’s name who modified it, hover the mouse over the word “Modified…”.

The date is updated automatically if you:

  • rewrite the card’s name
  • change the status/owner
  • modify a field value
  • move the card to Trash

Status [1.3.]

To change the current status of the card, click on the arrow next to the field and choose a new one from the list.

Owner [1.4.]

It is possible to assign, even automatically, an Owner to the card.

05_adatlap_felelos

Depending on their rights, some users only have access to their own cards, but some have access to other users’ cards as well. Those cards that are not assigned to any users can be accessed by anyone.

For more information, see: Users, Rights

Tasks [1.5.]

You have to accomplish these tasks by deadline. It is recommended to add tasks only if they could be accomplished within a short time.

For more information, see: Managing tasks

If you are using an Incoming email manager, you can compose a Reply on a card which will be sent to the client as an email message. To compose, click on [New task] > Reply. The Recipient is always the default contact person of the card but it is possible to add more recipients (e.g. additional contact persons, active users or the company).

Type the reply into the text box. To load a Template, click on the arrow next to [Send], then on Insert template. To discard the message, click on [Send] > Discard. To send the message, click on [Send].

Válaszok

The Sender is always the central sender of the selected module.

The Subject consists of the name and the unique ID of the relevant card. If the Incoming email manager is set, the module’s central email address will be redirected to the Incoming email manager’s address. In that case, the system automatically saves the clients’ reply in History of the relevant card. It happens based on the ID in the Subject.

History [1.6.]

Here you can see the:

  • Tasks already completed
  • Status changes
  • Modifications in the name of the owner/card/field values
  • Email and SMS sendouts
  • archive Email messages
  • File uploads via file fields
  • Lead source

The relevant user’s name is always shown by every single entry. If the system performed the task, MiniCRM is shown. For example, subscribing via forms, data modification by link and API, automated or mass email sending and SMS sendouts, and archiving emails.

To filter the entries, click on the arrow next to History and choose an item.

Taking over tasks

In MiniCRM, employees can get tasks automatically, create for themselves or - depending on their rights - assign new tasks to their co-workers.

If a task was not completed by the person who had created it, the system automatically changes the task assignee after clicking on [Mark as completed] and approving it.

Tags help you to characterize cards and group them by filters.

To add a new tag, click on the Tag icon [3.1.] next to the name of the card and name it [3.2.]. If you click outside the field, the tag is added to the client and it can be seen on every card of the client.
