Give a lead to someone in the field
- Open the lead's card.
- Under Assigned to, choose the person.
- They see it in their Leads, and they are told under Notifications.
Take it back the same way: choose someone else, or Nobody yet. It leaves their list at once.
Emails and texts
- Owners and office staff read every conversation, reply, check for new mail, and add an address to the do-not-contact list.
- Quotes: owners and office staff write and send them and keep the price book. Field staff see that a quote exists on a lead of theirs, never its lines, prices or total. Only an owner changes the tax rate, the terms and the numbering.
- Field staff read the conversation on a lead that is theirs. They cannot send, and they do not see the Inbox of other leads or the do-not-contact list.
- Field staff never see the message that carried a quote, and no message holds a quote's link. A quote's link opens its prices, so VOBIX does not keep it anywhere a person can read.
- Only an owner connects the mailbox, or takes an address off the do-not-contact list.
Good to know
- Field staff cannot open a lead that is not theirs, even with its address. VOBIX answers "not found".
- Each person's notifications, reminders and drafts are their own. Field staff see only their own reminders.
- Changing someone's role is done by removing them and inviting them again with the new role.
