๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Inventory

[Now Live] Clients can now see a full view of the work.

What is it?

You can now see the full view of works within the basic list view within Inventory. .

image

Why does it matter?

Previously, the works in Inventory were shown in a cropped out view. With this release, the overall functionality of Inventory has remained the same but weโ€™ve updated the inventory basic list view so clients can get a good understanding of what the work looks like.

This means clients can see the horizontal or vertical nature of a work with a quick glance.

[ Now Live] Remove/Manage Associations Statuses

What is it?

You can now manage Associations Statuses in Settings.

image

Why does it matter?

You can now manage your Association Statuses in settings. As clients continually use ARTERNAL we find they want to manage the custom inventory and contact association statuses. The ability to remove entries that are not used will help clients better manage their workflow.

How does it work?

image

What is it?

[Now Live] Search For A Specific List Within The View All List View

image

What is it?

The โ€œView ALLโ€ list view now includes the ability to search for specific lists so you can retrieve lists quickly and easily.

Why does it matter?

Previously, customers did not have a way to find a specific list based on search. This made it difficult to efficiently find a list, particularly when you have a lot of lists or list names that were difficult to recall or identify.

How does it work?

Youโ€™ll now be able to search for a specific list within the โ€œView Allโ€ list view.

image

[Now Live] Ability to change the primary โ€œsendโ€ email and set a new default email.

What is it?

Set the default, โ€œprimaryโ€ email for Contacts.

Why does it matter?

Every contact within a CRM has a preference on which email they want to receive communications. To date, ARTERNAL defaulted to the first email being the MAIN email and there was no easy way to switch or set a new default.

This often leads to extra work by our clients who change which email is the "MAIN" email. Users can now change the "MAIN" email by selecting โ€œSet as mainโ€ and that email will then be labeled as main to be used within Smart Mail, Invoices, Transactions, and other areas within ARTERNAL.

How does it work?

Now you can specify the default main email. To set a default email, navigate to a specific contact and click edit profile details.

image

Upon clicking "Edit Info" clients can change the main email by selecting "Set main". That email will then be labeled as "Main".
