Introduction
Welcome to Empress, a versatile business management platform designed to adapt to your company’s unique needs. One of the most powerful features of Empress is its customization capabilities. This guide will guide you through the process of customizing various elements in Empress to better suit your business operations.
What is Customization and Why is it Important?
Customization is the ability to modify the system’s default settings and features to better align with your unique business processes. With Empress, you can tailor the system to your specific needs, creating a more efficient and streamlined process. This means you can design the system to work for you, rather than adapting your procedures to fit the system.
Main Customization Features in Empress
Field Customization
Fields are the building blocks of your data in Empress. They hold the information that feeds into your reports, workflows, and overall data management. You can add, remove, or modify fields to better capture the data that is relevant to your business.
For instance, if you run a retail business, you might want to add a ‘Preferred Contact Method’ field to your customer data. This allows you to capture and store this critical piece of information, making your customer communications more effective.
Report Builder
The Report Builder is a powerful tool that allows you to create custom reports based on the specific data fields you choose. With this feature, you can generate reports that highlight the information most relevant to your business, helping you make informed decisions.
For example, you might need a report that shows the sales performance of each product category. Using the Report Builder, you can select the necessary data fields, apply filters, and arrange the data to present this information clearly.
Workflow Customization
Workflows in Empress represent the path that documents take within your organization. With workflow customization, you can define the stages a document goes through, the actions required at each stage, and who is responsible for those actions.
This is particularly useful in project management, where you can set up a workflow that mirrors your project stages, assigning tasks to team members and tracking progress through each stage.
Bulk Data Update
The Bulk Data Update feature simplifies the management of large amounts of data. With this feature, you can update multiple data entries simultaneously, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.
Suppose you need to adjust the prices of a range of products due to a supplier cost increase. Instead of updating each product individually, you can use the Bulk Data Update feature to apply the price increase across all affected products at once.
