== Understanding the address structure in WICE Cloud Based CRM ==

The highest quality of addresses is the be-all and end-all in a CRM system. WICE Cloud Based CRM helps you with some simple functions to keep the address quality high and to keep the input and the management of addresses as easy as possible.

4 basic dddress types can be distinguished, which can´t be altered:
* Corporate addresses - here you will find the corporate data, such as the address, but also further information such as the size of the company and more valuable information.
* Contact persons- these are people with whom you get in touch from a company. So either individual customers, or partner companies. Contact persons are directly linked to a company.
* Employees - these are your own employees. WICE Cloud Based CRM users need to have also an employee assigned
* Private addresses - these are private addresses, which can be accessed only by the individual user

To categorize the addresses into different segments, there are the so called address-categories in WICE Cloud Based CRM. You can set up to four category groups with respectively unlimited category within each category listings for the company-, contact person- and employee-addresses. The set-up and designation of categories and category groups is done within the WICE administration module.

The company addresses and the contact person addresses are the most relevant in customer relationship management.

WICE cloud based CRM offers either ticket or project management for your processes but both can also be linked with each other to some extents.

=== When do I use tickets or projects in WICE? ===

WICE cloud based CRM offers two types of functions to process your tasks: tickets and projects:

==== Tickets: action and reaction ====

Tickets are used on the principle based on action and reaction. You can get an idea when you think of a ticket as a digital file folder, in which you collect and find all information (phone messages, call logs, internal documentation, notes) as well as documents (quotes, invoices), which result in communication (E-Mails, faxes, letters) with the contact persons involved, but also offering to keep up with the the process of the whole ticket by using the hold-file features.

Within the tickets you also control the sales processes and process your order. You can here create and manage sales opportunities (opportunity management) and then generate offers, order confirmations, delivery notes and invoices from these.

Using the work-flow feature within the ticket helps you to set up standard processes (such as the qualification of leads) in simple steps.

The tickets are intended for the contact management in WICE.

==== Creating a new ticket ====

In the detail view of the address, click on "TCKTS." tab. All tickets that are linkes to this address are listed here. Click on the button "New ticket".

A ticket has always a supervisor, but within a ticket also other employees can add notes or set up new hold-files. To improve the co-ordination and evaluation of tickets there are also up to four categories in addition to the ticket status.

Enter a subject for the ticket and click on the "Save" button. You will now see the overview of all ticket notes of your new ticket.
Find out more about all the features of the ticket module here:
[[Tickets]]

==== Creating a new hold-file ====

To create a new ticket note with a hold-file for you or another employee, now click on "New ticket note". In the text input field you describe the task that needs to be done, e.g. Please call Mr. Schmidt and inquire about the last order. With the selection at "Forward ticket to" you determine the employee of your company that you want to assign the task to. By default your own employee is already selected.
The type of ticket note is by default already set to "hold-file" in this line you can now determine the date until the task needs to be fullfilled. Enter today's date in this example.
So to know whom you have to call, you must join hold-file with a contact person. The quick selection menu offers you a list with all the contact persons of the company, with which the ticket is associated. But optionally you can also search for any other contact person in the address database.

Click on "Save". You will now see the new ticket note with the hold-file in the overview. The "X" icon indicates that the hold-file is not done yet.

Switch to the dashboard and have look in your personal hold-files tab. Here you can see the freshly-added task. The hold-file remains in effect in your to-do list, until it was marked as done in the ticket. Now click on the company name of the hold-file.

You are now back in the overview of all ticket notes of the ticket. Now click the "X" and confirm your input. The hold-file has been markes as done. If you now switch back to your dashboard, the hold-file is no longer displayed there. In the overview of the ticket notes in the corresponding ticket the note is of course still available.

==== Projects for scheduled processes ====

Project management is the planning, the processing and the control of all project related work. In contrast to a ticket, a project needs to be planned by an employee right from the start and structured towards the included task in order to fulfill all of these.

A project is divided into individual tasks, which have a clearly defined date to start with and to end and in contrast to a ticket hold-file a project task can be assigned to several employees to work with simultaneously. While for a ticket only a single status can be assigned at a time, each project task always has status of its own.
