====== Clients ====== You can add, manage and edit your clients within the Clients tab. Clients are organized alphabetically, with general company/client information in the left column and contact person information in the right column. ===== Adding or Editing a New Client ===== To add a new client, select "New Client" from the sidebar of any page. Fill in the required fields and click "Add Company." ==== Notes ==== - Companies require at least one contact person -- this is who will receive your emailed invoices. - Any website you enter will automatically be converted to a link in the Manage Clients section. ===== Importing & Exporting Records ===== ---- **Note that the import/export of client records is currently undergoing a major overhaul, and is therefore hidden from view. An improved import/export utility will soon be launched and will include support for vCards and popular contact managers.** ---- If you have several clients, it may be more efficient to use our import feature. You'll need to create a tab delimited text file with one client record in each row and the column fields in the following order: Company Name, Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip Code, Country, Web Address, Office Phone, Fax, First Name, Last Name, Email, Office Phone, Mobile Phone. (From Clients | Import/Export, you can download the sample file to see how to arrange your data.) This sort of table can be created as an Excel spreadsheet, for example, and then saved as a tab delimited (.txt) file. For more information, see this tutorial: http://desktoppub.about.com/od/textacquisition/ss/tabdelimitedss.htm ==== Notes ==== - Make sure to verify all client information after importing. - Email address, first name, last name and company name are mandatory fields. - Clients are tracked by email address. If you have multiple clients with duplicate email addresses within the file, the system will automatically recognize only one client record. - Likewise, if more than one client already exists in your account with the same email address, the client record in the import file will be ignored.
