Accounts Tab – Top ½ of Screen

The top half of the accounts screen is where the main information about the account/client is entered. You can use this entire screen to add, edit, and search for accounts, set filters, and group accounts into similar categories. First, we’ll start with an overview of the buttons and their uses. When you click on the Accounts menu option, a new window will open showing you the account information of the last account record you were in. You can open multiple account records by clicking the New Window

button and searching for an additional record, and you will have a new window that will open for each account record. Buttons: Search Accounts: Allows you to search for an account by Company Name, Phone Number, Contact Name, Email Address, Zip code, County, ERP (Customer) Number or Equipment ID. You can also choose IS, BEGINS WITH, CONTAINS, or END WITH from the dropdown to expand your search even more.

To Search for an Account: Type in the search criteria you want to search for (based on your Search Criteria choice) and this will pull up a list of the companies in your assigned territory that match the criteria. You can then double click on the company name that you want to choose, and you will be brought to that account record, or click the X in the right-hand corner to close the Search screen and go back to the previous account record you were on. You can also choose how many records you wish to be displayed at a time by using “The First 25, The First 50 or Show all Records” options. The default result is 25 matches, but to view the first 50, or show all matches you can select either one of those and click on Search again to display more results. Within the Search area there are also some additional functions using the buttons on the top of the page: Show All Accounts: The Show All Accounts Button will ignore the Search Criteria and show all accounts that a user can view, limited by the Records Displayed amount (The First 25, 50, All Records). When clicked on, you will receive a message that "This may take an extensive amount of time to load. Do you want to continue?". Depending on the amount of accounts viewable to the user, this might take a few seconds to load all the accounts, but typically it will not.

Export to Excel: The information being viewed in the Search Accounts area can be exported by using the Export to Excel option available for Regional Sales Managers, and above security levels. This will export the current accounts being viewed in the Search area.

Bulk Activity Creation: Bulk activity creation allows an activity to be completed or opened on all accounts showing in the Search Accounts area (usually acquired after filtering to a specific group of accounts), by just entering it once and applying it to all accounts. See Bulk Activity Creation on page 48 of this section for further details.

12/27/18

Direct Marketing: The direct marketing button is available on a per user basis set by the administrator and is used to export contacts for outside Marketing Programs. If this button is showing, you can do a search in the Search Accounts area, then click the Direct Marketing button to export the contacts showing in the results of your search. When you click on Direct Marketing it will ask you where you want the file saved to. Browse to the location and click Save, and the file will be saved to that location. The columns exported will be the Phone Number, Company Name, Industry (pulled from the SIC Code field), Rep Name (if it is a Named Account), and Branch Location (pulled from the Address field). This can now be imported into the Marketing Program of your choice for mass marketing purposes.

Add Account: Used to add in new accounts into the database. To add a new account, click on the “+” button and enter in the account information in the respective fields. All the field names with an * are required fields. You must add information into these fields to successfully add an account. If you try to add an account and forget a required field, you will get a message after you click Submit to enter in the required information and the field name will turn red. There is also a feature where after the zip code is entered in, the City, State, County & area code for the phone number will automatically be filled in. When all information is entered, click the Submit button and you will be asked if you would like to add an additional account; if you would like to add another account click Yes and the form will clear out allowing you to add another record. If not, click No and the form will close, and you will be taken to the new account record you just added. You may also get a message that another account exists with a same or similar company name and a list of accounts; this indicates that you have possibly entered a duplicate in the database. If the Account you are adding shows in this list and you don't want to add a duplicate account, click NO in this message and your account will NOT be added. If you do want to add the record, click YES and it will be added into the database. You can also search in this area using the Duplicate Account Search to search not only your assigned accounts, but all accounts in the database to see if an account already exists but is assigned to another user. This searches by same or similar Company Name only; to search for duplicates based on other information see the "Dups Search" section below.

Edit Account: Clicking on this button allows you to edit all the company’s information including company name, address, city, state, zip code, contact information, vertical markets, etc. This is not where you will edit or add additional Contact Names, that is done in the Contacts Tab (see Contacts section)

Contact Rank: Ranking of Main Contact as far as their role in the buying process. This field must be edited in the Contacts Tab. Delete Account: This button allows Managers/Administrators to delete accounts. It is usually grayed out for use by Sales Representatives. For users that do not have access to this button, you will request that an account be deleted my using the Delete Company check box in the Vertical Marketing area. Place a check in the “Delete Company” Account Classification check box when they find an account that needs to be removed. The Administrator can then run a filter to see all Accounts marked for deletion and verify them prior to removing.

**Best Practices: Admins can delete accounts, this would be a manual one account at a time deletion. Sherpa is intentionally set up that way. If you have a lot of accounts you are looking to delete, we recommend using the Account Merge Tool, merge all those accounts into one and then delete that one account.

12/27/18

Filter: Used to search your database by a combination of specific criteria; great for vertical marketing. To create a filter, click on the filter button, select Create a New Filter and enter your parameters; you can filter your accounts based on any combination of any of the fields in the Filter area. If there is a blue section under your criteria (such as Zip Code) the criteria must be showing in the blue area before it will filter (double click or hit Enter to move it down to the blue area). You can test the results of the filter prior to running it by hitting the Test Filter button on the right side of the screen and it will show you how many results you have.

You can also save filters for future use. To save a Filter, select the filter parameters and then type in the name of the filter. Hit the Save Filter button. The system will pop up a message that your filter has been saved. To reuse a saved filter, click on the filter button and then “use a saved filter”. Multiple sections selected will narrow the list to the companies that fit all the criteria. If multiple items are selected in the same section (i.e.: 2 cities are selected) the filter will produce results for both. The Account Classification is the only area that gives the option to use either “And” or “Or” when selecting. “And” will result in companies that match exactly with all the Classifications selected. “Or” will result in companies with any of them marked.

12/27/18

10

Note: If your numbers go up as you add account classifications it is because as you add more parameters, you’ll have more accounts that don’t have ALL the listed account classifications. You might have 10 accounts that don’t have Classification A, and 40 accounts that don’t have Classification B. Then when running the filter on accounts that don’t have BOTH Classification A and Classification B, your number may be 100. The discrepancy of 50 additional accounts you get when running both account classifications with the “not” filter represents the accounts that do have either Classification A or Classification B, but don’t have both. Zero Activity in the filter will result in a list of all accounts with no activity completed or created in the date range selected. This is a great tool to make sure all accounts are being contacted regularly. This looks at the last contact date, late activity date, and last completed activity date. In the area to filter by Lease End Dates, there is an option to run the filter using the TCO Only check box. If checked, Compass will only display results using the equipment listed in the TCO tab. If unchecked, Compass will display results from both the Lease Tracker date as well as the TCO. If you do not have the Lease Tracker module, only TCO results will display regardless of the check box. To delete a filter field (i.e.: Boise in the City filter area), highlight the criteria and hit the Delete button on your keyboard. This will move it back up into the default list and you can select something else. You can also use the * for open-ended filters. Ex: for everything on Main St, type *Main* in the Address field. This will look for anything with “Main” in the address field. The * can be used in any field that is free type. Depending on where you place the *, is where the open-ended search will happen. If placed at the beginning on a word or number, the system will search for anything that ends with that word or number. If placed at the end, it will search for anything that begins with that word or number. If an * is placed on either side of the word or number, it will search for anything that contains it. When you have entered in all the information you want to filter by, click the Filter button and you will be taken to the Search area and your results will show. You can now double click on any of the Company Names to go to that account record.

12/27/18

11

Keep in mind that when you have a filter activated, you can only search and access accounts that meet that filter criteria. To end the filter and regain access to all your accounts, you will have to end the filter first. End Filter: Click on this button to remove any filter currently applied to your database that is limiting the accounts you can view. This button will appear in Red Font when you have a filter activated.

Print Account: Displays a print preview of the information viewed on the Account Card. You can choose to include Contacts, Activities, Emails and/or Equipment from the TCO tab before you run it, and choose from the last 10-100, or ALL.

Google Maps: Opens your internet browser to Google Maps and instantly maps you from the location of your office (set by your Administrator) to the location of the company you are currently viewing. You must be connected to the Internet to use this feature and may be asked to select a starting office location if you have multiple regions set.

Proposal List: Click to view a list of your proposals for all companies (or all reps that you can view if you are a manager). You can double click on any of them to go directly to that proposal and company. You can also search for specific proposals by Account Name, Prepared By, or Proposal Name in the drop down and entering in the name in the search field. If Prepared By is chosen, you can choose a user from the search field, or use the * to view all user's proposals.

Document List: Click to search and view a list of all Documents for all companies (or all reps that you can view if you are a manager). You can double click on any of them to directly view that document. You can search for a specific document by Account Name, Date Entered, Description, or File Name.

Sales Template: Used to fill out Sales Letter Templates automatically (such as the Vito letter supplied by Compass). To use, click on the Sales Templates button, and select the correct template from the folder that opens. Once you’ve found the desired template, double click on it. The Word template will open and automatically fill out the account information. The Word templates must have been formatted correctly by your Compass Administrator for this feature to work properly.

Account Tools Dropdown

Merge Accounts: This is used by Administrators to merge duplicate accounts within the database. This button/feature is usually grayed out for use by Sales Representatives. Sales Reps should mark the “Merge Account” Account Classification when they find an account that needs to be merged with another. The Admin can then run a filter to see all Accounts marked for merging and verify them prior to combining. (This must be purchased as an add-on by your company to be available for use. Please see the Administrator Manual for more information.)

12/27/18

13

Dups Search: Before adding a new account, this allows the user to check for Duplicates to make sure the record doesn’t already exist in another user’s database. You can search by any part of the Company Name, Address, Phone Number, Equipment ID or Contact Name. Enter any part of the Search Criteria in the search field and click the Search button. Compass will bring up a list of accounts that are similar. This is a viewable option only. You will not be able to pull up a company you select from the list and view its details, as the account may not be assigned to the user. If an account is found, the user can now follow their Company policy to have the account reassigned to them instead of adding a duplicate into the database.

TCO Totals: This will bring up the totals from the TCO tab allowing the user to view the customer's current costs without having to leave the Accounts area.

Account Name Drop Down: This drop-down menu at the top of the screen allows you to access previously visited accounts within a certain time frame without having to go back to Search Accounts. The time frame is set by your Administrator, but typically is set to show a 5-7-day history.

Account Notes: A type-in field for notes pertinent to the Account, such as Annual sales, Number of Locations, etc. To enter notes, click on the Edit Notes button, type in your notes and then select Save. This field is also a good place for the user to put notes when requesting that an account be deleted. ERP Number: Shows the ERP client number (as determined by OMD, E-Automate, NexGen, etc.), and is not changeable by Sales Representatives. It can be edited/added by Manager’s and higher

12/27/18

Contact Details (Top Half of the Screen):

Contact Name & Info: Main Contact Name, Dear, Title, Work Phone, Mobile Phone, Email Address, Main Office Phone Number, Website & SIC Code show the Main Contact’s information as either entered in when the account was first added into the database, or the person who has been selected as the accounts’ main contact from the Contacts tab.

An Outlook email message, addressed to the contact, will pop up. Type your message as usual to the addressee, attach any files desired, etc., and then click the send button on the email. The message will send via Outlook and be asked if you want to save a copy of the email in the email notes tab within Compass.

Additional Information (Top Half of the Screen):

Account Classification: These checkboxes allow you to identify what type of account this is (i.e. Current Customer, Priority Account, etc.) and can be used for filtering and running reports. These checkboxes are customizable by your Administrator. Anything checked will show on top alphabetically, and anything unchecked will show under that, alphabetically. Once you check a box that wasn't previously checked it will go to the top of the list with the other checked classifications. Relationship: if the account is marked as a Parent Account this will say Parent Account. Or, if it is marked as a Child Account of a Parent it will say Child Account. If it is not marked as a Parent or does not have a Parent assigned to it, this will be blank. Zone: If this account is part of a Zone (set up in the Administrator area), the name of that Zone will appear in the blue Zone field.

Reps can also add other reps to the account by clicking the + button and clicking the other users to have access to this account. Then hit Submit. Reps can be removed from an account by clicking the X button. They will be asked to verify that they want to remove that Rep.

When the Primary Rep assignment is changed from one rep to another here, a pop-up box will appear containing information to remind the person making the change that the rep removed from the account will only been removed from the account assignment itself but will additionally need to be removed from any open activities, opportunities, lease assignments and orders (if using the Order Processing module). Select the prompt for Yes or No if you would like to proceed with making just the account assignment change.

To Complete a New Activity and Schedule a Follow up:

Once you have called or visited the account and are ready to log it into Compass, if you have no open activities on this account, you will click on the button on the left-hand side of the screen to get started. A

12/27/18

24

form will populate to fill out the following information. (Generally, the only time the “New” button will be used is if you are completing a brand new activity or scheduling a new pending activity. If you have previously scheduled the activity for yourself, you can just complete that activity - See Completing an Activity section below.) Completing the New Activity - Step 1

1. Activity Date, Time & Duration – Enter the date and time you

completed the activity, and duration. 2. Activity – Select from the drop down the type of Activity you are

completing. Activities available are set by the Administrator. 3. Contacted by – Will automatically populate as the user who is logged

in but can be changed by choosing another name from the drop-down list if you are completing an activity on behalf or another user.

4. Contact – Enter the Contact name, it will default to the primary contact on the record, but you can select a different contact from the drop down, or, enter a new contact into the contacts tab by

clicking the button next to the contact name and adding the information just as you would in the Contacts Tab. This new contact will be saved in the Contacts Tab as well as in the completed activity.

5. Objective – Enter your objective and what you were trying to accomplish by completing the activity. This is a required field.

6. Notes – Enter your results and details of the activity in the Notes field. For your convenience, you can also choose from predefined notes by choosing from the dropdown and choosing to add that text Before or After the notes you manually typed in.

Completing the Activity - Step 2

7. Complete Activity Now - Check this box to show your options to complete the activity.

8. Date Completed - Enter the date you completed the activity. It will default to the current date assuming you are completing the activity in Compass the same day you did it, however, if you are completing

12/27/18

25

an activity that you did on a previous date you will want to put that date here.

9. Attempted vs Successful – Tag as either a Successful or Attempted activity, (Successful - you successfully accomplished your objective. Attempted - you did not successfully accomplish your objective). This will color code your activities to allow you to easily see how successful your activities are.
