Company Settings

The following information is broken down into the sections found on the Company Settings page. When you log into BuildOps, you will land in Company Settings.

Company Info Fields

  • Company Name

  • Company Logo (appears on customer-facing documents)

  • Business Address (actual business location)

  • Billing Address (where paper mail is received)

  • Phone (primary customer service contact)

  • Email

  • Website

  • Invoice Terms of Service (default language at the bottom of every invoice)

  • Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (default language at the bottom of every purchase order)

To edit Company Info, click "EDIT COMPANY INFO" in the upper right.


Departments

  • View, edit, or delete a Department by clicking the three dots on the right side.

  • Add a Department logo, designate team members, choose a default Quote template, and add a company/billing address (if applicable).

  • To add a new department, click "ADD DEPARTMENT".


After Hours Settings

  • Allows "on-call" Technicians to perform work or schedule jobs outside of regular business hours.

  • Set up different "after hours" schedules and assign them to specific Technicians.

  • To edit a schedule, click "EDIT" on the right side.

  • To add a new schedule, click "ADD SCHEDULE".


External Message Templates

  • Default email language for Quotes, Invoices, and Purchase Orders.

  • Saves time by eliminating repetitive email drafting.

  • To edit or delete, click the three dots on the right side. Additionally, templates must be assigned to relevant departments in the External Templates section to ensure their visibility during invoice creation or email sending.

  • To add a template, click "ADD EXTERNAL MESSAGE TEMPLATE".

  • Type in the name of the template and select the department it’s for. Choose whether it will be used for a Quote or an Invoice. Add your message in the text box, then click Save to complete.

πŸ’‘ Ensure the associated Department(s) are selected; otherwise, the template will not appear as an option in the dropdown.

Troubleshooting Missing Invoice Templates

If templates are missing, consider the following steps:

  • Verify that a department is assigned when creating an invoice. Invoice templates in BuildOps are tied to departments, and leaving this field blank can cause them to not appear.

  • The external template may not apply if an ad-hoc invoice is created without selecting a department. In such cases, the messaging would need to be added directly to the invoice.

  • Check the External Templates section in Company Settings:

    • Ensure that the department assigned to your invoice has a properly configured external message template.

    • If missing, add the department to the template configuration.


2. Navigation, Pages, & Objects

Depending on a user's Roles and Access rights, they may or may not
