Initial setup: Training for agencies
Guide contents: Training points | Homework | Resources
Attendees: Core Workamajig implementation team.
This training session is designed to introduce you to Workamajig's interface and shows you how to add new employees, clients, vendors, and contacts. We will also discuss how to use the calendar and any other general questions that come up at this time.
Why is this important? Defining default settings to be used in each area of the system allow your agency to create a consistent flow of information into the system. Entering project information, client, vendors, billing, purchasing, and other system items in a predetermined way allows for better tracking and reporting of your client and agency health.
Training points
Basic overview
To start off the call, we will present to you how you navigate the Workamajig interface.
- Detail the Toolbar.
- Show the Menu navigation.
- Explain the purpose of the Today screens.
Employee setup
From here we will cover how to add new employees to the system.
- Show the minimum steps to have a fully functional user in the system.
- This includes but is not limited to name, email, login, password, and security group.
Enter clients, vendors, and contacts
Depending on how many clients you plan on entering, we may discuss the process of importing those records. However, we will still show the way in which you enter one manually.
NOTE: Workamajig sees clients & vendors as companies.
- Show how to enter a client & vendor (we will make a 'test client' and 'test vendor' for training purposes).
- Show how to enter a contact who is associated with a client (we will create a 'test contact' for training purposes).
- Review client & vendor defaults.
Homework
Add employees
- Review the Employees overview [in-depth guide] for navigation and additional info.
- UserID, password, security group.
- Provide the Login URL, userID, and password to staff.
- Ensure the CORE team has logged in and viewed their desktop.
Add clients & vendors
- Review the client setup and vendor setup guides for navigation and additional info.
- Decide on a client ID and vendor ID methodology.
- Begin manual entry of at least a few client & vendor records. (If you have many clients and/or vendor records, you can import but do a few manual entries to start with)
- Clean up client & vendor records from your current system so if you wish to import, you have an updated list with current contacts, addresses, etc.
System setup
- Use can use the Import data section to assist with importing mass records. NOTE: It's recommended you enter or import your companies (clients & vendors) into Workamajig before your contacts, so you can easily link the contact to the corresponding company on import.
