Registrering kunder og prosjekter
Registrering kunder
Kunder registreres i System: Grunnregister/Pro/Kunder-Prosjekter. Dersom systemet er innstilt for kundeopprettelse i Prosjekter: Frågor kan kunder også registreres der. De felt som skal være aktive i opprettelsen bestemmes i System: Grunnregister/Pro/Paremetrer, fliken Kunder og prosjekter i tabellen Begreper ved kundeopplegg.
Velg NY på kundesiden til venstre for å opprette en ny kunde.
Systemet er oppbygget på den måten at de fleste opplysninger som registreres på kunden blir synkroniserte med prosjektene. Synkroniserte felt er merket med en lysegrønn punkt. Du kan slå av synkroniseringen ved å fjerne krysset fra parameteren "Synkroniser kunde og prosjekt" i fliken Parametrer 2. Etter dette vil nye prosjekter som opprettes ikke at synkroniseres med kunden.
