titleUse of configuration options - good practice advice

We would like to share our experience to help you successfully take on the configuration of your own Agency Cloud environment; the advice and guidance outlined here is based on many years of working with Reapit Agency Cloud with all of our client-base.

  • Always determine what outcome/challenge you are trying to address before considering any change; avoid the desire to scour options to 'find something new'
  • We recommend that you start by looking to align configuration, on paper, to your business processes, policies and service levels before mapping to Agency Cloud configuration
  • Nominate one person who will have responsibility for applying changes; ensure changes are managed formally and controlled (this also help our Support teams)
  • Consider the impact on your customers and - more importantly - your staff; how will the change be communicated and trained out - the adoption of change comes from understanding why and the value to be derived
  • Avoid the temptation to create a myriad of configuration options - complexity serves to confuse, rather than clarify and focus staff
  • Avoid reactive/unconsidered changes to configuration; as the saying goes - change in haste, repent at leisure!
  • If in doubt, seek assistance - talk to Reapit Support or your Customer Success Manager who can offer advice
Warning
  • DO NOT REMOVE / DELETE CURRENT ENTRIES FROM SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

  • ALWAYS VERIFY YOUR CHANGES BEFORE APPLYING TO ALL STAFF
