What are Sales Teams?
Sales teams denote a salesperson or group of people on a customer, job order, or assignment record. This field is used to pull or group a variety of reports and searches for customers or job orders by sales.
First think about how you want to utilize sales teams. Will they be individual people or groups or a combination? We recommend making a list before you start adding them in System Settings.
*Note* To learn more about sales teams please see the article titled Beyond - Managing Sales and Service.
Setting Up Permissions
For users utilizing Default Security Groups, no additional permissions are required to access the Sales Teams functionality in Beyond.
*Note* If you utilize custom Security Groups with Advanced Permissions, you will need to add the Read/Write access to the "Sales Team" fields within Customer/Job Order/Assignment, along with Access to the Sales Team form within Settings > System Settings > Sales Teams to the Security Groups that require the functionality.
The required fields/forms/pages can be found by searching "Sales Team" when creating/editing a Security Group with Advanced Permissions:
For more information on created custom Security Groups with Advanced Permissions, please see the following article titled "Beyond - Creating Security Groups with Advanced Permissions".
