Everything stored in PC CADDIE or entered as information takes the form of a New entry. You can save this as such or assign it to a corresponding Project. The visibility setting is very important. Although tickets are assigned to a specific person, they can be viewed by everybody, as long as visible is set to All users. This is useful and the standard setting, unless it refers to a private or confidential matter. Entries that are only intended for you have your name in the for field and private in the visible field. If necessary, contracts should also be stored with limited visibility. These may, for example, have only the management level as group with access rights, or allow access only for the appropriate person. As a result, they remain visible to the person who created the ticket and to the person or group of people defined in the „for“ field.

New entries can be created both in the appointment window and in the person mask. To create an entry, click the button New or use the key combination Ctrl + F6.

Define the category to which your entry is assigned:

Select the appropriate category and confirm as usual with OK.

As an example we choose the category TODO to leave a message for a colleague:

If you create a new ticket from the appointment window, you must enter here the name of the person under whom the entry should be saved. If you have opened the entry directly in the person mask of the person concerned, the name is automatically entered in the address.

If you have entered a contact person with a person or a company, you can select it here with the button Option (F2).

If you would like to assign the ticket to an existing project, click on this button to search for the desired project, click on it and confirm the selection with OK.

Select / Switch the category by scrolling down the list.

This line is, so to speak, the title of the ticket. Write down a meaningful subject. You can see this line in the overview. Phrases like „Hello Mrs. Schmidt, I wanted to tell you …“ are not helpful. „Annual fee paid in cash“ is a lot better. Additional information and comments can be entered below in the larger field.

Determine the date and time for the information. By default, the day and time when the ticket is created are listed.

The duration is relevant if the ticket is to be displayed in the timetable. For example, when creating an appointment, you can specify how long the appointment lasts. All information will be entered in minutes (for example, enter „60“ if an appointment lasts one hour.

Under Follow-up, you can specify a later date on which the ticket is presented again in your appointment window. For example, if you would like to be reminded of an entry after one week, you can enter this here. An earlier reminder is also conceivable if, for example, preparatory work must be done before an appointment. Click with the right mouse button in the date field to get to the calendar.

Define here for which operator or which user group the entry should be made accessible, i.e., displayed in the appointment window.

Use this field to determine who can see the entry. The ticket/project is only visible to the person/group of people stored here.

PC CADDIE allows you to attach documents to any note:
\\Just click on the icon with the folder and select the document which should be attached. With this feature, each employee can easily see all correspondence from each member or employee, provided, of course, that they are authorized. All attached documents are always saved by PC CADDIE in the „Attached“ folder in the main data.

There are several ways to import documents into PC CADDIE.

Once you have completed an entry, you can confirm this with this button. This is followed by a security prompt:

Use this button to create a project from this entry; the original entry is assigned to the project. Or, if the entry is already assigned to a project, open this project.

If you have a query about the entry to another person, simply press this button. An additional entry will be created, which you can edit as you like. Your original entry remains unchanged.

If you would like to give an answer, use this button. An additional entry will be created where you can enter your answer. Your original entry automatically gets the status „answered“ and is thus done.

With this button you set a dividing line above the previous text and a date and time stamp with your user code (from password management):

If you have entered a contact person with a telephone number for a person or a company, and your telephone system has been linked to PC CADDIE, you can call the contact person directly with this button.

If your club uses the module „Send invoices by mail“ Online invoice & mailer, you are welcome to use the button. Please contact support support@pccaddie.com. You can use this to send individual e-mails via PC CADDIE, either based on your templates or individual emails.

To create a single letter with the help of a template, click on Export in the respective person mask.

The following window opens:

Activate the option „automatically generate a letter“, mark a template for the letter and click OK. This will open Microsoft Word, where the fields of the template are already filled for the person concerned. You can now work with the Word document as usual. After closing Word, the following window appears with the attached document:

Make any desired entries according to your needs and exit the window with OK or F12. The document has now been saved in the CRM window of the selected person. You can open it again at any time, and print it if necessary.

PC CADDIE stores documents in different folders:

Single letters are saved in the folder „Attached“.

The „Mailmerge“ folder contains all form letters (circulars).

The folder „Template“ is used by PC CADDIE for the templates.

Form letters that are sent can be noted in the person mask of each recipient as a CRM entry.
