What if my office has Finance Defaults?

If your agency uses Finance Defaults (Pulse-Agresso Finances) then setup a ‘Brand Default Group’. The Brand Default Group will receive a notification once a Brand request is approved.

When they click the link to the email, they will be taken to the Finance Default screen to setup the defaults for the approved brand.

The link in the email also automatically maps the Brand to the Requesting Agency therefore allowing it to be used in the Project Wizard.

To setup a Brand Default group go to Edit Office > Office Group and map a group to the Brand Default select.

What happens when my request is rejected?

You need to make another request
