Any contact with a client can be registered in the database, to be kept in the client's history. The list of these contacts is part of the client's full details. The visits can be scheduled in advance.

3.1. Search events

there are two options to search for the commercial events registered in the database:

  • the general search, which returns a list of events that correspond to certain criteria

  • client search, which returns only the events related to a certain client

[Note] Access

Visits -> Search visits

or

Clients -> Search clients -> Client details -> Full client details (see the events list)

At the general event search you can use one or more criteria (e.g. the visits of a certain agent, in the next 3 days, to clients from a certain region).

In the open fields, you can enter only parts of the search terms. For the date fields, use the calendar on the right side of every field. The rest of the fields are limited to the dropdown lists.

[Tip] Observation

The dropdown lists can be managed in the administration section.

After choosing the searching criteria, click the "Search" button. The result will be a list of all visits that correspond to the chosen criteria, with a few information on each (client, date, goal, type of visit, person, reminder date and the link to the full details page).

If no searching criteria is used, the result will be a list of 200 entries.

3.2. Calendar

The sales and maintenance events can be displayed in a visual calendar. The calendar is part of the modules that allow the recording of the events details - CRM Agenda and Service and presents separately the two types of events.

The sales events calendar can be accessed from the secondary menu of the "Search clients" and "Search visits" pages.

or

Vizit -> Calendar

The calendar displays the commercial events based on the date and time. In the "Add visit" page you can enter the "Hour / duration" of the visit. Although these fields are optional, the events are displayed in the calendar according to them.

For each event in the calendar, you can see the time of visit, the client and the purpose of the visit.

Each event in the calendar represents a link to the full details page.

You can choose from one of the three viewing options

  • daily - displays the events of a certain day

  • weekly - displays the activity of a week

  • monthy - displays the events scheduled during a month

No matter the viewing mode, there are always available the "previous" and "next" buttons, for the detailed display of the events: the previous/next day, week or month.
