Sites in The Layer are designed to help manage Lead or Customer data over their multiple business office locations. The sites can be linked to Addresses, Contacts and Assets.

Sites can be linked to a range of different record types:

  • Addresses

  • Contacts

  • Assets

  • Opportunities

  • Quotations

  • Quotation Items

  • Sales Orders

  • Sales Order Items

A site can be classified as a Subsite by assigning a parent site to it.


Managing sites

Select Manage - Sites from a Customer or Lead record to view existing sites, or create or edit existing ones.

Sites are displayed alphabetically, grouped with any subsites.

When adding a new record, you can enter the following information for each site:

  • Name - Site name

  • Parent Site - Select a parent site here, if appropriate. This will indicate that the site is a subsite.

  • Site Integration ID - This column will only be available if your instance of The Layer is configured to integrate with another billing system. This must correspond with the data on the external system.

  • Site Ref - You can elect to enter an internal reference for the site. If you do not enter a site reference, it will default to the site name.

  • Description - Information for your internal purposes only.

  • Default - You can mark this as a default site for that customer or lead record.

Contacts

Click into the individual site to view associated contacts.

To amend which contacts are associated with the sites click into 'Associate Contact' and select or deselect as appropriate.

Address

Related address to the site is visible in the site's Addresses tab.

To amend the associated addresses go to Address tab in the customer record and edit as per below image

Assets

View the associated assets with the site as per the below image.

To amend the associated assets go to Batch Editor or individual asset to amend the site.

N.B.: If the assets are processed via the sales orders with associated site this will be automatically assigned on conversion from sales order.
