Synergy product update — October 2021 — Updates to SynergyCRM, Outlook add-in, schedules, to-dos, and more

In this release we’re giving you a bunch of Halloween treats with updated features like CRM and Outlook add-in. We’ve worked hard to make your everyday tasks, including WIP transfers, and viewing to-dos, a little easier.

UPDATE — SynergyCRM

  • When adding a new opportunity, there will now be the option to select an office. Only offices that are allocated on your staff profile will appear
  • On the CRM project screen, activity will be created every time an email is saved using the Outlook add-in
  • If the ‘Connect to Outlook’ functionality in the Organisation tab is enabled, you will be able to download the email directly from the page — Read more
  • When you create a new call type activity it’s defaulted to the primary contact and will show all numbers associated with them — Read more

UPDATE — Outlook add-in

  • Once the Outlook settings have been configured, any email can be filed on send and will have a category attached to it

UPDATE — Project schedule

  • There is now functionality that enables you to bulk assign a staff member across stages in a project for their role — Read more

UPDATE — To-do’s

  • The title on a to-do is now hyperlinked and will take you to the page where it was created

UPDATE — Project portals

  • Documents and images are now able to be sorted in the portal. Click on the column names at the top to sort the documents

UPDATE — Rates

  • There is a new column that has been added on the rates page called ‘Category’. There are three categories to choose from: Internal, External, and Expenses.
  • The category column will also appear in the Project rate pages and in the Report module — Read more

UPDATE — Project financials

  • Discipline and cost centre filters have been added to the Project financials page. When you have used the filters, they will remain across the view

UPDATE — Document templates

  • A new grouping option has been added to the Fee details table called ‘Staff name/Rate value’. It will allow for the number of units and staff name combination to be shown on the invoice

UPDATE — Transactions

  • WIP transfers can now be completed on the default screen. Read more

UPDATE — Fixes + improvements

  • A check box has been added in the office settings in Projects and invoices which will allow you to override auto-assigned invoice and credit numbers — this is selected by default, but can be unchecked manually — Read more
  • An error in timesheets will appear if a staff member is not assigned to the rate they have entered when you try to approve it
  • Staff must now have an equal or higher access level to be able to terminate another staff’s profile or change their access level in Synergy. E.g., a director will not be able to change the security/end date for an Assistant admin + System admin.
