Adding a New Establishment Contact
Select the ‘Contacts’ tab from the navigation bar. Click the green Add contact button.
Complete the form and select Save.
This will take you to your contact details page.
Custom properties can be added in settings, which is covered in the the knowledge base article Adding Contact Properties.
To link a new or existing establishment to this contact, on the contact details page, navigate to the 'Establishments' section and click Manage establishments.
A menu will open where you can type in the name of an establishment on the system. Once you have selected the relevant establishment(s) for the contact, click Save.
If the establishment does not exist yet, click the blue text to ‘Create a new establishment’. Complete the form with the details of the new establishment and select Save. This will create a new establishment and link it to the current contact.
Adding a Contact to an Establishment
In order to send notifications or inspection reports there must be a contact listed for an establishment.
To add a new contact that is not already on the system, find the establishment's profile, navigate to the 'Contacts' section on the left, and select Manage contacts. Complete the form and click Save. 'Mail subscription' refers to if the contact should receive system notifications. Standard practice is to leave this as ‘Subscribed’ unless specifically requested.
If the contact is already in the system, for example if they own several businesses, they can be associated with more than one establishment. At the bottom of the new contact form, click the blue text ‘Or associate with existing contact’, search for the contact you would like to add, select, and click Save.
Editing an Establishment Contact
First, navigate to the 'Contacts' tab and find the contact you wish to edit from the list. On the contact's details page, click Actions besides the contact's name and select Edit. Save your changes by clicking Save once you're finished.
Subscribing and Unsubscribing a Contact
Navigate to the 'Contacts' tab from your homepage.
Search by contact name and hit Enter, or select them from the list.
On the contact's details page, click Actions besides the contact's name and select Edit.
In the 'Mail subscription' field, click the dropdown menu to choose to subscribe or unsubscribe a contact.
If you subscribe a contact, this means they'll receive any automated notifications as long as there is an email address associated with the contact.
If you unsubscribe a contact, this means they won't receive any further automated notifications.
Save your changes by clicking Save once you're finished.
