Users' Group A Success

Last month, GLDS hosted 40 people for its 16th Annual Users' group.  Participants traveled from around the world to learn about new products and features, provide input for future development and enjoy some Carlsbad fun.
 
Copies of all presentations given at the event are available at customer request by clicking here.
 
Kicking yourself for missing out?  Next year's event (#17) is already being planned and dates will be available soon.  At this point, we're looking at May, 2011.

The Reason Behind WinCable

GLDS users should periodically review Activate, Inactivate, Change of Service, and Service Call reason codes to ensure accuracy and provide meaningful marketing information from WinCable.  Two of the designed reports used for reporting reason codes are:

Added Packages - subscriber name, address, account number, and phone number with the package that was added or dropped and the reason code for the change.  Selection criteria of franchise, account, include package, add reason, add date, drop reason, and current sub status.  Exportable format.

Completed Work with Packages and Summary - subscriber name, address, phone number, current packages, management area, sales area, and completed work details.  Selection criteria of completed work with sort and two  summaries. Will show summary by reason code as well as summary by 'your selection' as defined in the report criteria.

Coming soon in version 1.104...  The opportunity to use more than 2 reason codes on a single work order.  Yes, this is yet another Users' Group request that's been fulfilled.

Want a GLDS Shirt?

Then share some of your "WinCable Wisdom" with us.  Each month we try and publish a WinCable tip that should help make using WinCable even easier.  Most times these tips come from within GLDS but occasionally, we get a great tip from a customer.

Are there some features, tricks or shortcuts that you've found useful?  If so, send them to us. 

If we use your tip in our newsletter, we'll send you a GLDS-branded gift as our way of saying thanks!
