Manage Offices

The first step in using Pulse is to Create Offices.

Offices are important as they are the home for your Users and your Projects.

There are two parts to creating an Office in Pulse.

  1. Office ‘Quick Create’ Form
  2. Edit the Office to access Additional Settings
Create Office Form

Office ‘Quick Create’ Form

The OfficeQuick Create‘ is a simple form, with only basic information required, so you can create your initial Offices quickly.

  1. Access the Create Office form in the Address Book
    • You must have ‘Manage OfficePermissions to access the ‘Create Office‘ Button
  2. The only required field is Office Name and Contact Email
  3. However, we recommend you set the option for ‘Category‘, to indicate the Office as one of the following:
    • Your Company
    • Client
    • Supplier
    • Prospect

This information is very useful when managing Users and Projects.

Edit Office for More Settings

Once you have created your initial Offices to hold Users and Projects, you may want to edit the additional settings for the Office, to affect behaviour, security and workflows.

To edit the additional Settings for and Office, go to the Address Book > Offices. Then select ‘Edit‘ for the Office you wish to update.

Review the table below for a description of each Additional Setting.
