OVERVIEW

This is how to create a new base account for a new WorkSpace P&F client.

This task is completed by a member of the support team or the project manager before implementation. It requires QA and a software release, so it requires prioritization by the engineering team.

Requirements:

  • URL for property team email address (the part after the @)
  • Logo file
    • This logo is either sent by the client or found from the client's website/email signature
    • Logo resolution should be in a 4x1 ratio. 400x100 works, as does 800x200. Anything else will be stretched out. 
    • Logo must be converted to a gif
    • Transparencies are allowed, use your best artistic judgement as to what the logo will look like inside of WorkSpace

HOW TO

Open Jira Ticket - Example 

  1. Create a new Jira ticket in Product Ideas Backlog board (PIB) as a story
  2. Title ticket "Provision new Base Account: 'CLIENT NAME' with admin@clienturl.com having P&F app"
  3. Inside the ticket provide the following lines:
    Provision new Base Account: 'CLIENT NAME' with admin@clienturl.com having P&F app
    User will have P&F app access and be able to assign the P&F app to other users
    Admin user needs ability to create/activate properties
    Logo file attached
  4. Mark the ticket as "Other" client and for the "P&F" application
  5. Attach the logo file to the ticket
  6. Once ticket is in development you may be asked to proof how the logo works, approve/make changes as needed
