The CRM module is designed to let you record and plan your contacts with your students, parents, company contacts and potential students.
There are two main sections in the menu:
- TASKS –Tasks can be created by school administrators as reminders for themselves to do something or they can be created and assigned for other school administrators who will see them when they log into their account.
- PEOPLE – All existing contacts: students and company contacts, whether archived or not, automatically appear in the CRM list. You can also add prospects who are not students. You will find more information here.
