Account & Contacts Details
Every client account on TaxDome should be linked to one or more contacts. Some of the information for a client account refers to the account itself, while other information refers to its contacts.
On the Info tab of the client's profile, you can access and edit both info on the account and its linked contacts.
Account Details Section
Account Details section is where you can review and edit account data: account name, type, photo, tags applied, etc.
Below, see the detailed descriptions for each numbered field:
1. Account Name. Accounts are the entities you work for and bill. They could be set up manually or generated automatically. More on account names.
2. Account profile photo. The photo uploaded to the profile either by the client or by firm.
3. Account Type. There are two account types on TaxDome: Individual and Company. The difference is that for the Company type of account, you have additional fields in the account profile: company name and company address.
4. Tags. Used to categorize accounts. More on tags.
5. Account custom fields. If you have created and filled out custom fields for the account, they’re displayed here. More on custom CRM fields.
Contacts Section
The Contacts section is where you can review and edit data on contacts (emails) linked to the current account: manage portal access, notification, email sync, signature settings. You can also unlink and link contacts. To edit the contact's email or any other data, click the name of the contact in the list.
Below, see the descriptions for each numbered field:
1. Linked contact. The names of all contacts are displayed in the alphabetical order.
2. LOGIN. You can give portal access for each email address added to a contact. If the user has been already invited to use the client portal, but hasn't accepted the invitation, you can send it once again by clicking the 8. Send invitation link.
3. NOTIFY. For each email address added to a contact, you can decide if they will receive notifications on system events (e.g., a new message, or organizer sent). For each email, you can tweak the notification types by clicking the 9. Notification Preferences link.
5. Unlink. If you don't want the contact to be linked to the account, you can unlink it. Note that each account should have at least one contact linked, so you won't be able to unlink the last one.
6. Description of the linked contact. The description could be entered by clicking the 4. Edit description link. It is valid for the current account only, so if a contact is linked to several accounts, the descriptions could be different for each account (e.g., primary contact for the family account and CEO for the business account)
7. Additional email address. Other email addresses for the contact can be added as a contact custom field. All email contact fields are displayed here.
10. Signer priority. This option is used with signature templates. It determines the default order of signers. How to set up signer priority.
