FAQs

  • If I have accidentally deleted an Account Group, can I get it back or 'un-delete' it?
    If a group is deleted, it will not delete any of the Accounts that belong to that group. The Accounts will still exist and potentially still be accessible if they still belong to another group that you have access to.
    It is a quick job to create a new group and move Accounts over to the new group. Restoring anything that was deleted is typically done on your test site, as we would not want to overwrite any work done since the last back-up.
     

  • Can groups be renamed?  
    Yes, groups can be renamed but this will be reflected system-wide, so always make sure that all of your Administrators are in agreement before changing anything.
     

  • Can I look at an Account and see what group(s) it belongs to? 
    Yes. Visit Accounts from the left-hand navigation menu, right-click and select 'edit' on the Account you are interested in, then select 'Groups' from the left-hand sub-menu. This will show a list of all currently associated Account Groups.
    Note: You can actually add or remove company groups from this section that relate to the specific Account you have selected.
