Now It’s Okay to Forget to Remember<\/h2>\n

Here at Mitchell 1 we\u2019ve always recommended using Remarks<\/strong> on the Customer<\/strong> screen for any special notes regarding a specific customer in Manager SE shop management system<\/a>. It was ideal because comments could be stored here without any concerns that they were ever going to print anywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 1<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By default, the Remarks<\/strong> box is closed and only displays the very first line (Figure 1)<\/strong>. So if your screen was ever left unattended and made visible to a customer, that\u2019s all they would ever see. For example, you might type \u2019*****<\/strong>\u2019 or \u2018Preferred<\/strong>\u2019 (an internal code for shop employees) on the first line and then press Enter to drop down and then type the nitty gritty internal details such as: a)<\/strong> Don\u2019t take personal checks, b)<\/strong> Check account balance before work, c)<\/strong> Get a deposit before work or some sort of similar requirement from the customer (Figure 2).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 2<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This works just fine as long as service advisors remember<\/u> to stop at the Customer<\/strong> screen before they go to the Order screen. But now there\u2019s a better way to accomplish this same task with the new Set Flag<\/strong> feature (Figure 3), now added to your Customer screen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a box where users can type similar messages and they will most definitely see it as a pop-up box<\/u> (Figure 4) whenever they start an estimate or repair order for that customer. Message delivered!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 4<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 5<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the Flag <\/strong>C<\/strong>omment<\/strong> is no longer needed, then go ahead and click on Edit Flag (Figure 5)<\/strong>; as there is no Delete<\/strong> button. All you need to do is simply remove the text and click OK. Note that the Edit Flag<\/strong> button will revert back to Set Flag<\/strong> making it available for future use.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased to include yet another customer-requested feature in Manager SE. Thanks for your feedback \u2013 keep it coming!<\/p>\n

And stay tuned for many more innovations to come.<\/p>\n
