The address database is the heart of a Customer Relationship Management. The quality of the addresses is of crucial importance for the success of CRM.

Address categories

Addresses can be segmented by different address-categories.

Basic categories / types of addresses

WICE cloud based CRM distinguishes between four different address types that can`t be changed. You will find these in the first pull down menu in the addresses module.

Addressbasecategories.png
Screenshot: Basic address types

All four address types have different properties and consequently different input fields in the respective address masks and offer different functions that are associated with the addresses. Under the address type "Company" we understand any business contact that is in any form associated with your company E.g. customers, suppliers, partners, prospects, etc.

The address type "Contact person" refers to individual persons who are employed at the companies and therefore they are in most cases linked with a company address - but Contact persons can also be entered without beeing assigned to a company.

"Employees" however, are your colleagues with whom you are working in your company.

The address type "Private" is intended, for purely private addresses, which are accessible to only the individual user who is logged in under the respective account.

Important:

The basic categories are predefined and in contrast to the other categories in WICE cloud based CRM these are non-retractable.

The sorting in the pull down menu is in an alphabetical order. As a default setting, when entering the addresses module, "Company"-addresses on the list of the basic address types are displayed.

When selecting only the first category (Company, Contact persons, Employees, Private), to get all addresses of this type to be displayed in alphabetical order. Here, the information specific for this address type is displayed according to the selected type.

Freely definable address categories

For the basic address types Company, Contact persons and Employees are four configurable address category groups (filters) available, which you can use to flexibly categorize towards your needs.

Screenshot: Quick selection option according to the freely definable category groups

Each category group can contain as many categories as needed. With the quick selection option at the top of the window, you can select certain address groups. To do this select the desired category entries, and then click on "Go".

Please keep in mind that you can only choose one attribute per category in this view, although an entry can be assigned to multiple attributes within the same category! Use the module "Campaigns" to create such an address list.

Tipp:

If you move with the mouse pointer in the address module over the company's or contact categories, or in the ticket module over the ticket categories or in the project module over the project categories or in the project detail view over the drop down menus, the title of each category appears in a small tool-tip window.

By clicking on the << >> arrows at the bottom of the window of the address list you will get to the next or to the previous page of the listed entries. You can also directly click a number to skip several pages. The active number is colored in black to indicate the page on which you currently are.


Bulbgraph.png
Hint:

Your WICE administrator can define in the administration which address fields are shown by default in each list view of the company, contact-person, and employee addresses!

When you click on a company name on the list the detail view of the selected entry appears. When you click on an existing email address WICE opens your email client linked by default to this user account and when you click on a phone number, your linked softphone application can be opened via the setting configurable in the administration of WICE.

If you have the general right to export addresses from WICE, then the optional link to list all addresses is displayed. So this offers you the possibility to list all addresses in a single list without changing the pages and you can use this feature to print it via your browser directly.

Adding a new Address

Click on "New entry" and you will get to the input form to create a new address:

Newaddress.png
Screenshot: Input form for new address

Here, you can enter the company-specific data in the input fields. Input fields marked with a grey box are indicated as mandatory. These must necessarily be filled. Otherwise, your address can not be added.


Bulbgraph.png
Hint:

Please note that from WICE release 7.5 onwards also individuals in WICE can not only be added as a Company address with the respective associated contacts can be captured, but also directly as Contact persons without to be assigned to a company.

For each address, you can include a company logo that is displayed as a thumbnail in the address list view and in a larger version in the address detail view. You can either directly add an URL for the logo in the field "Company logo" or insert a suitable logo for example from a XING profile by drag and drop. Alternatively, a search function is available. It opens in a new window and searches the Internet using the company name and other criteria to find a matching logo. You can then select from the 5 best results a matching logo after completing the search, which is then automatically added.

Optionally, you can define an address as a delivery address in the field "Delivery address". To do this, you must enter the company name in the search box and WICE shows the matching search results and you can then select the desired address out of the list with the search results. This delivery address is then shown as an additional address when creating chance-based documents in tickets assigned to this address. You can change the address at any time later by running the search again and assignment another address.

When entering the E-Mail and URL address in the respective fields in the correct form you can click on the address to send an email directly from here or click on the URL to open the home page.

Screenshot: Lower part of the form of a new company address

By setting the "Status", you have the possibility to lock this address. Select a status and enter the reason for locking the address in the underlying field "Status remarks". A locked address is not only displayed for your information, but also means that this address is not considered in the selection of address lists, i.e. for the creation of mailings etc.! In the address list and the detail view a "Locked" - icon is displayed so that any user immediately sees that this address has been locked.

The customer number assignment is done automatically, which means that it can not be manually assigned.

In the field turnover the total revenue will be shown which you have realized with this address/customer. Therefore the sum of all closed opportunities is displayed here. You can not enter any turnover values here which is why this field is no longer available to be filled manually and only shown in the address detail view.

In the "VAT Number" field, if known, you can store the information for this customer or supplier. This can be inserted then, optionally, in chance-based documents.

Assigning the address categories is vital for your address quality. This helps you with the segmentation of the addresses. Addresses with specific categories can easily be selected for E-Mailings or printed mailings that can be created within the campaigns module. Furthermore you can find these categorized addresses easier by selecting them in the address list view. The address categories are generally adjustable and are set by your administrator. The already selected category entries are shown inside each category window to make it easier for you to get an overview if there are multiple assignments within each category.

In addition, you can add remarks to any address in the text box provided for this purpose. Additional input fields you need to use for providing additional information for your addresses, can be set up by your system administrator as custom fields.

To assign an address only to a specific user group, you can assign each entry to one or more groups of owners. To do this, click on an existing user group to select it. The already selected category entries are shown inside each category window to make it easier for you to get an overview if there are multiple assignments for the owner of this entry. The address is then only visible to the users of the associated group(s) or can be only edited or deleted by users with the required rights.


Achtung.png
Important:

Only the user groups to which you are assigned to are displayed here. If no group is selected, the address is visible for all users. Any existing entry may also have other owner groups, who however can not be modified by you.

Finally click on "Save" to add your new address and you will see the detail view of your new address.

Duplicate check

After adding a new address, WICE may come up with the information, that your new address already exists in the system and this screen is displayed:

Duplicatecheck.png
Screenshot: Selection of potential duplicates for your new address

Now, if the address that you added really is a new address, you can select "New" and your new address is saved as a new entry in the system. If you select the option "Merge", so that the existing address is merged with your new input (contact persons will not be merged but added). Warning: choose this option only if you are certain about the results, otherwise information could be lost!

As a third option, you can choose the option "DB address", your entries will be discarded and your new address will not be stored and you can continue to work with the already existing address.

Address search

You can search for addresses in many ways.

Addresssearchoverview.png
Screenshot: Overview of the possibilities of the search in the address range

Searching via address categories

If you want to display addresses of all existing companies (e.g. customers, prospects,suppliers, partners, etc.), select "company" as address type in the first drop down menu. Ignore any of the other pull down menu's for the address categories. Now click on the "Go"button. You will get all company addresses listed or depending in which address type you are, listed all contact persons or employees etc.

By using the pull down menu's with the address categories you have the possibility to select addresses by the assigned category attributes. You have already assigned these attributes to the addresses while adding or importing your addresses.

You can sort and list addresses according to different categories, as for example all company's marked as customers, potential customers, suppliers, partners, or by the products and services or in combination only all addresses marked as customers limited to certain areas etc. depending on which attributes you have available in your categories.

The available category attributes has your administrator previously added to the needs of your company so if you need any changes or additions to them you will have to contact him.

Searching for a company name or customer number

To directly search for a company name or customer number use the search box "Search for:". Just enter the company name or the customer number and the results of your search will be displayed when you click the "Go" button.


Bulbgraph.png
Hint:

If you find here for example the company "123-Test GmbH" and enter in the search box only "123", then, WICE interprets this as customer number and the desired address may not be found. In this case, you need to supplement your search through the "%" sign as a wild card, so enter "123 %" in the search box. Then the corresponding entry as a result of the search will be displayed.

Alphabetical search

In the address module, you have the ability to display addresses alphabetically. Simply click the desired letter in the alphabet list displayed below the list of addresses. The corresponding address records are displayed immediately.

Advanced search

To search in any available address field click on advanced search. Now, you get a similar mask as for entering a new address. You can here enter any combination of search criteria in these fields. All search results with the appropriate search term will be displayed. In this way, you can search in your address data with the most varied combinations of criteria. To the execute your search, click the button "Search" either underneath the field for the company name or at the bottom of the screen.

Tipp:

With all types of search methods, your search criteria can be stored as your individual WICE-Views on your Dashboard to have them ready for frequent use when needed. Find more information about setting up WICE-Views in the chapter "Dashboard"

Smile orange.png
Tipp:

If an entry for a link to an external map provider is stored in the administration of your WICE client, then a map view for this address is displayed in the detail view. By clicking on the map, a new browser window opens and puts you right into the map view for this address.

History of changes

With this feature, a user with administrator rights can undo any changes to an address. To do this click on the button "History of changes". It opens a window with an overview of the recent changes applied to this address. In the columns displayed, you see the time stamp, the user name, when the change was made and the information that has been changed and the old and new values before and after any changes.

You can also lock an address with an indication of the status, as well as general remarks can be added. Once you have completed your changes, click on the Save button on the bottom of the window.

You will then return to the detail view of this address.


Bulbgraph.png
Hint:

In the detail view of an address and of a contact person you will find the information which user has made the last active changes to this entry and the information when the database record was last updated. Please note that

"Last address edit action:" means that a WICE user has changed the entry, E.g. by editing the address, or performing an import with activated update function, or by changing the category configuration.

"Last database entry update" means that the DB entry was changed. This can happen by cronjobs, manual adjustments to the DB etc., which are not directly linked to user actions during editing an address manually, but also through actions from plugins


Deleting an address

When deleting an address you have the option to use the trash bin before permanently deleting an address. Your system administrator has set up the attribute "Trash" or "Trash bin" in the first company address category and when deleting an address it is tagged with this attribute. Only if the administrator empties the trash bin, all the addresses from this category are finally deleted. If there is no attribute for the trash bin is set up, the address will be directly deleted.

To delete addresses the necessary user rights need to be assigned to you or your user group in the Administration - otherwise the delete button or the trash icon is not available!

Please keep in mind that you can not undo a deletion!

Click on the Delete Icon/Trash Bin. The address will be deleted. You will return automatically to the main view of the address module.

Copying addresses

You can create a copy of any existing address. To do this, click on the copy button in the address detail view. This creates an identical copy of the address. To indicate that this is a copy of an existing address the extension "(COPY)" is added to the name of the address. You can now edit this copied address e.g. rename it etc. as usual.

Address relations

You can define unlimited relations between your company addresses which are then alternately displayed for the associated addresses. Your WICE administrator has already created the categories for this relations to select from.

To create a new relation, go to the address detail view of the address where you want to add the relation and click on blue arrow next to "New address relation". The mask is extended to this view:

By clicking on the name of the address in the graphic or table the address detail view of the associated address appears.

You can create as many more address relations for this address as needed. You can delete existing address relations at any time by clicking on the "trash-bin" icon at the respective address relation. A prompt is displayed which you must confirm to permanently delete the relation.

Contact Persons

Generally contact persons are always linked to a company address because these are the people who work at the company they are linked with and can therefore be assigned to tickets and appointments or projects created for their company address.

But you can create contact persons not only linked to a company's address but from WICE release 7.5 onward also as individuals without an assignment to a company address. Please keep in mind that no tickets or project can be created for contact persons but only for company addresses. Contact persons that are not linked to company addresses can of course be assigned to ticket notes.
