Submitted Forms
Click here to view all submitted contact us forms. These forms are emailed to you, and they are also stored in the CRM file.
Intranet
How does it all work?
You have two different Secure Zones: Contractors and Management.
Contractors displays unique contractor data, Management is where you can oversee the forms and processes. It is the same login screen for both; the system knows who has access to what information.
I have given you access to the Management zone. But just so you know, you can use our "tester" login to see what the contractor zone looks like. Use the username jackson@usablecreative.com and the password is creative.
Contractor Portal
First, let's talk about how it works for contractors!
To add a contractor. Login to the Website Admin www.shadaconsulting.com/Admin. This is the actual back end of the website, not the management intranet view.
You will click on Site Manager > Secure Zones > Contractors. Then click on the subscribers tab. Or click here. :)
Simply enter the contractors full name and email address, and they will receive an email granting them access to the contractor intranet.
Now you need to determine what Type of contractor they are. Still on the back end of the website, click CRM from the left menu, then search. Search for the contractor you just added. Click on their name. Now you can see their details. Click the blue edit button at the bottom. Once you do this, you will see there is a drop down for Time Card Type and Time Card Span. Select what is appropriate for this contractor. This will affect their time cards.
Now your contractor is ready to login! From the email they received earlier, they will set up their password, and then login to the system.
Once they login they will see a screen that says Welcome to the Contractor Portal.
It has news and announcements visible, and it has the contractors name at the top right. From there, they will see the menu, and below that, they can see what "type" of contractor they are.
From the menu at the right, they can add time cards, expense reports, monthly reports, see news and announcements and download PDFs.
Time Cards/Expense Reports/Monthly Reports
Contractors can create new time cards, expense reports and monthly reports. They can save and continue, which is recommended. Much like saving a Word Document while you are working. They can save and close if they want to finish it later. Then, when ready, they can submit. Once an item is submitted, they can see it but not edit it.
News & Annoucements
Just like on the first login screen there is news and announcements for the contractors to view.
Resources & Downloads
Here contractors can download PDFs that you provide to the team.
Profile
Here the contractors can update their contact information, drivers license and insurance document.
Management Portal
Now let's talk about how you can use this system to manage your contractors!
When you login, you will see a screen that says Welcome to the Contractor Portal. It has news and announcements visible, and it has Dashboard at the top right. Click on Dashboard Overview. Here you can see if there are any time cards, expense reports or monthly reports that are submitted for you to review. For today's purposes, I have one submitted and one pending for each.
Time Cards/Expense Reports/Monthly Reports
You can view the items here on the management portal, or click the Admin Edit which will take you to the back side of the website to edit or change the status from submitted to closed.
News & Announcements
To add news and announcements, you will do this on the back end of the website. From the left menu click on Intranet - Contractor News. Or click here. :) Click Add Item. Add the information you want and then save.
Resources & Downloads
To add resources and downloads, you will do this on the back end of the website. From the left menu click on Intranet - Contractor Resources. Or click here. :) Click Add Item. Name the item, upload a PDF and save.
