Where To Find It
Common Path: QCRM > Dashboard and sidebar menu
Exact access can depend on your QCRM role. If the menu item is not visible, ask an administrator to review your permissions.
How It Works
- QCRM opens on the dashboard, where daily work queues and summary cards show what needs attention.
- The sidebar groups related work into Sales, Customers, Work, Service, Analysis, and Setup.
- Most records follow the same pattern: open the list, search or filter, open a detail page, then create or edit when needed.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Is Used For |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Shows daily priorities, open pipeline signals, and recent activity. |
| Sales | Contains leads, deals, pipeline, quotes, and orders. |
| Customers | Contains companies and contacts. |
| Work | Contains tasks, calls, and calendar. |
| Setup | Contains preferences, users, numbering, product data, locations, and taxes. |
Important Fields And Controls
| Field Or Control | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Search and filters | Help narrow large lists by name, status, owner, date, or other visible columns. | Use before creating duplicates. |
| New button | Starts a new record for the current module. | Use only after checking whether the record already exists. |
| Edit button | Changes an existing record. | Use when you are responsible for the record or have permission. |
| Status badges | Show whether a record is open, active, completed, closed, or inactive. | Use them to prioritize follow-up. |
Recommended Workflow
- Sign in and confirm you are in the correct company or tenant workspace.
- Start from the dashboard and review tasks, leads, deals, cases, and recent activity.
- Use the sidebar to open the feature area you need.
- Search before creating a new customer, contact, item, or service record.
- Open details before editing so you can review related comments, activity, and linked records.
Best Practice
- Keep one browser tab on the dashboard if you switch between sales, support, and setup work often.
- Use consistent customer names and email addresses so search and reporting stay useful.
- If a menu item is missing, ask an administrator to review your role permissions.
Troubleshooting
- If the page looks empty, clear filters or check whether your role has access to that record type.
- If the browser asks about unsaved changes, review the form before leaving the page.
- If a save fails, read the message near the Save button and correct the highlighted field.
FAQ
Why do I not see every menu item?
QCRM hides areas that your role is not allowed to open.
Can I use the browser back button?
Yes, but use Save or Cancel on forms first so unsaved work is handled clearly.
