Feature Story

 

New ACCTivate! Website!
Style and menu changes help users and prospects find information easier!

Complete web redesign

After months of research, design and testing, a new and improved ACCTivate! website has been launched!

 

Check it out at www.acctivate.com

 

Easy-to-use navigation
Making the website easier to navigate and find information was a major goal of this project.

 

We accomplished this by adding a new expandable/contractible vertical menu in the left-column of the website. This new menu is designed to help existing and future users more quickly find the information they need.

 

Industry Solutions
We also added a new Industry Solutions section as well.

Here we have identified a few of the industries that ACCTivate! serves very well and have included case studies and other information specifically to showcase how ACCTivate! can successfully help companies in these industries.

So, what are you waiting for? Check out the new site.
All this and more awaits you at the new ACCTivate! website. Stop by today and let us know what you think!

Save time with email message templates
Create and store standard messages in ACCTivate!

Often in business, standard and repetitive email messages need to be sent. They might include everything from internal policy memos to customer service messages.

Whatever the message, having to rewrite it each time it's needed is very unproductive. Why not just create the message once and have it available whenever needed?

 

ACCTivate! has you covered with the new email message template function introduced in the 6.2 release.

 

Creating and using email message templates

Using the email templates is easy. Just 1) set up the email as a template, 2) save it and 3) ACCTivate! stores for you or other users. It can then be opened and sent from any email-capable window in ACCTivate!.

 

Begin with an email message window initiated by the 'Send Email' button available on all windows with email functionality. This is where templates are created and stored.

Stored templates for that module are listed in the window along with the option to manage message templates.

 

Once you're in the Message Template window you can create or delete a template. To make a new template, just enter a unique Template name, a Subject and the then the actual message inside the Body.

 

 

 



Finally, select the Type of template you want and if you want this template to be accessible for all ACCTivate! users or only you.

When this is done, save the template and you now have created an email template.

 

Information automation with data fields

Your messages can include data fields that automatically populate information based on the module.



The above-left window shows the raw data fields specific to the Business Activity module. The above-right window shows the information populated by the system when the message is sent.

 

A list of all the available data fields and detailed steps for using and creating email message templates exists in the help files (look up 'email templates').

The new ACCTivate! Shipping Manager

Preparing and packaging shipments has never been so easy!
ACCTivate! now has a powerful Add-on feature to help bring more control and greater ease to otherwise complex business processes.

The Shipping Manager can quickly and powerfully arrange orders into shipments that allows for complete tracking of contents, multiple cartons and tracking information.

How does it work?
The Shipping Manager has two main functions:

1.     Orders to be shipped arranged into shipments

A wizard guides you through the preparation process and in a matter of minutes shipments will be created from scheduled sales orders you choose.



2.     Contents of these new shipments are categorized into cartons

Hundreds or even thousands of products can be divided into different cartons for shipment, or all products from a single shipment can be placed in a single carton. The difference just depends on how you do business.

No matter how you need to separate products, the ACCTivate! Shipping Manager can handle it and the details of the shipment are stored on the sales order for quick review.

Works well with EDI
The Shipping Manager works with the ACCTivate! EDI Manager. An Advanced Shipment Notice (EDI 856) is generated from the shipment information and sent to your trading partners.

Contact your ACCTivate! representative for more information.

*The Shipping Manager is currently only available to ACCTivate! EDI Manager users
