Enabling Customer Portal Features

The Customer Portal has several different features that can be enabled/disabled per location. 

When first setting up the Customer Portal, starting with only a few features may help your team adjust to receiving and responding to client requests.

Service Request - Allows customers to request services using the portal.  Customers can add messages and photos to their requests from the portal site.

Elapsed Time - If enabled, customers can view how long their service request has been open.

Supply Request - This allows customers to request a preset list of consumable supplies, such as toilet paper and paper towels.

Feedback - Allows customers to leave general feedback notes, and add a rating of Extremely Dissatisfied to Extremely Satisfied. 

Quality Checks - Allows customers to view the inspection reports for their location, including overall scores, names of inspected areas, area ratings, comments, and images.  Use caution when enabling this feature, as the transparency may reveal problem areas that the client was unaware of.

Who's Working - Allows customers to see who is currently clocked in to their location.

File Storage - Allows customers to access specified files (images, documents, videos, etc.) assigned to the location.
