Your Account Settings is where you'll update all the global settings, admin information, templates, and bookkeeping items. Basically, if there is anything you need to update outside of a contacts information or specific project information, you'll need to go to your Account Settings to do so. 

Accessing your Account Settings

You can quickly access your Account Settings by clicking the gear icon located on the top right of your account. This is available on any page within 17hats.

Account Settings Pages

Your Account Setting pages are organized into four categories - Settings, Admin, Account Templates, and Money Matters and include various elements you can review and adjust as needed.

Brand Preferences - The Brand Preferences page will allow you to customize the look of the internal view of 17hats as well as how documents look to your customers.

Account Templates

Documents & Emails - The Documents & Emails page holds all your previously saved quote, contract, invoice, questionnaire and email templates. A Template is a clean base copy of any email or document you'd send your contact regularly. They can be reused for any contact or in Workflow Templates to save you time and streamline your process.

For more information, click the button below.

Custom Fields - Custom Fields allow you to create custom data fields to track data from Contacts and Projects. You can use these fields as tokens in your Emails and Contracts, as well in Lead Capture Forms and Questionnaires.

For more information on creating and view custom fields, please click the button below.

Workflows - Workflow Templates allow you to automate the tasks you usually take to complete a project and guide your contact through your client experience. 

They save you time by either completing the tasks for you or reminding you to complete a task. They also allow you to scale your business by creating a consistent, repeatable client experience. You can even delegate the tasks to other team members added to your account.

For more information on the different workflows we recommend creating, please click the button below. 

Lifecycles - Lifecycles give you a visual representation of the stage a particular project is in. They give you the pulse of your contacts projects from start to finish and automatically moves the project stage forward so you’ll always instantly know the status of every project.

For more information on Lifecycles, please click the button below.

Lead Capture Forms - Lead Capture Forms (LCFs) allow you to automate the population of interested customers into 17hats. The form would replace your existing contact method and add each person who uses the form as a contact in 17hats and create a project for them. 

For more information on Lead Capture Forms, please click the button below.

Marketplace - The Marketplace is a collection of various templates provided by 17hats and other members who use the platform. All templates provided by 17hats are free of charge! Others can be purchased for the specific brand/account and range from $19.95 - $300 USD.
