AdminMatic offers a variety of features that can be used in the office or on the go, via our App. Create and manage customers, employees, vendors, tangible items and more in a simple format that is easy to access, use and maintain. Generate job leads, contracts, work orders and invoices all from real-time data entry while in the field by your employees. Upload images for future reference and share your work load with customers through the customer portal. Use our Reports page to analyze your business's performance, work load or other data with various filters, all customizable by you!

Adminmatic's work flow is based on four entity types for tracking a job. As a job progresses, the next step in the chain will be created and the job will evolve from a lead collected in the field all the way to an invoice for the completed job.

Getting Started Last updated: 07/05/2021 @ 02:07pm

Importing Data

Quickbooks Enterprise (Windows)

To get started with Quickbooks desktop you will need the email sent upon registering, this contains the .qwc file and username/password required to set up the Web Connector.

Once you have downloaded and installed the web connector you will need to add an application using the .qwc file provided in your welcome email. To do this you will need to open the "File" menu in the top left corner of the Web Connector application and select the first option "Add an Application". It will prompt you to select a .qwc file and you should select the one downloaded from your welcome email. Once it has been added you will need to provide the password which is also included in the welcome email.

If all is successful you should reach the following state:

Web Connector Success

To manually control syncs between Quickbooks and your Adminmatic control panel you can disable the "Auto-Run" setting. We recommend leaving it set to run automatically with a 5 minute duration between syncs. Setting this number below 2 minutes can result in slower sync performance if usage is high.

Once your first sync has been initiated it will need to import all of the data from your Quickbooks company file that is used by our system. This can take up to one hour for large company files, we recommend you don't use the control panel until it has fully completed this process.

Once the connector indicated that the sync has been completed you can login to the control panel and you should see your data (Customers, Employees, Items, Invoices). If data is missing you may need to run the sync again or wait until it has fully completed the import process.

Work Orders Last updated: 07/05/2021 @ 02:07pm

The Work Orders list contains all work orders for your business and by default displays active work orders. Work orders can be searched for by using the work order ID, title, or customer's name in the search box; located in the top left corner of the page. Using the advanced search feature allows the user to filter work orders by other various factors including the charge type, invoice type, or various customer filters. Other searchable criteria includes planned work order dates, assigned departments/crews, and work order status.

When a work order is created from the contract page, all of the contract's information is carried forward and put into the new work order. The invoice type, scheduling information and renewal settings will need to be set while creating the work order. Work orders can be created without a contract from the Work Orders page or through a Customer's account (see Customers for additional information). From the Work Orders List, select 'Create New Work Order' from the Actions list located on the bottom left corner of the page. The charge and invoice types, scheduling information and job frequency will all be entered during this process.

Invoice Type

Invoicing can be done in three ways upon a work order's completion:

  • Upon Completion: An invoice can be created when the work order is marked to finished
  • Batch: The work order will generate an invoice when the Batch Invoice tool is used in the Invoices page. This is an ideal tool to use for frequent/recurring jobs that would be tedious to invoice individually. A Batched Invoice will include all finished outstanding work orders for a customer with the invoice type set as 'Batch.' For more information, refer to the 'Invoices' section below.
  • No Invoice: The work being done does not require an invoice. No further action is to be taken upon the work order's finalization.*

Departments and Primary Crews

Departments and Crews are created in the Employees page. Setting a department and primary crew is not a required field to create a work order and can be filled in at a later point. A crew is enabled to view a work order on their app when they are assigned to the job, making it easier to locate and enter their usage. Setting an appropriate department and primary crew can additionally help in filtering and organizing work orders in the Planner view.

Scheduling

The work order's start date, time, and deadline (if applicable) can be entered an locked if planned for a firm date. If there is no known start date, a work order can be left as 'Unscheduled.'

Renewal Settings

Work orders will have three renewal settings:

  • Work order does not renew: The service/work order is for a one-time job
  • Prompt on work order completion: The service/work order is needed on multiple occasions with no set schedule or frequency. The finished work order will prompt to copy and create a new Not Started work order and can have a planned date set to it.
  • Recurring work order: The service/work order is a recurring job with a set time range and schedule frequency. The Recurring Range Type can either be Annual (the work order repeats every year without a tentative ending, ex. April 1 - November 1) or Fixed (the work order is only to recur during a set period, ex. April 1 2022 -July 1 2022). The Frequency (Days) is the recurring schedule for the work order (how often the work should happen), and the Minimum Days Between are the least number of days that should pass before a renewed work order is scheduled. When a recurring work order is renewed, AdminMatic will prompt to schedule the new work order based upon the set frequency. A preferred day can be selected, if applicable. This will prompt AdminMatic to schedule the new work order on the preferred day within the corresponding frequency/minimum days between.

Once a work order is created, its information can be edited by selecting the 'Edit' button from the top right corner of the page. Additional scheduling dates and crews can be added from this window.

A work order consists of a list of items, which represent tasks and materials required to complete the job. A work order item can either be labor type, indicating a list of tasks that need to be completed for a component of the job; or material type, indicating materials required for their job. Usage is added to work order items by employees in the field, with labor-type usage taking the form of logged work hours and material-type usage taking the form of the quantity of the material consumed.

Adminmatic work order structure The structure of a work order


Individual items can be added to a work order by selecting 'Add Item to Work Order,' located about halfway down the work order page. Multiple items can be added to a work order at the same time by using the Template feature in the Company section. To load a template, select 'Load Template' from the Templates drop down menu and navigate to the desired template. Individual items and their descriptions can be selected/deselected to be included in the work order. Click 'Load Template' to add the items to the work order. 'Estimated Quantity' refers to the estimated number of hours/tangible units an item will require to complete a work order. The estimated quantity is for internal use only and is not reflected on the invoice.

Work orders have various Statuses:

  • Not Started: The work order does not have any item usage/the work has not started
  • In Progress: The work has started but is not completed; additional time/materials are needed to complete the work order.
  • Finished: The work order is completed and ready to be invoiced
  • Cancelled: The work does not need to be done/is voided
  • Waiting: The work order is pending and does not need to be visible in the planner

Actions

A work order can be duplicated by selecting 'Duplicate Work Order' under the Actions menu, located at the bottom of the work order page. This will create a new copy of the work order without any usage.

Communication

Employees can be notified that a work order has been added to their upcoming planner by being printed, emailed or sending a text message.

Planner

The Planner is a week view of planned work orders and has various filters and tools to help with scheduling. The planner will automatically open to the current week. To filter to a different week, use the date picker located at the top of the page.

To expand or minimize a day, hover over the numerical date at the top of the calendar to click +/- (expand/collapse). Work orders can be searched for in the Week Planner by using a customer's name in the 'Search Planned Work Order' Box. Click the filter to the right of the search field to access the Advanced Search options. Planned work orders can be filtered based upon charge type, invoice type, work order status, or various items included in the work order.

To filter the work orders visible in the Week Planner by a Department or Crew, click the All Departments/Crews menu from the top right corner of the page. Select the desired departments and crews to view and Apply the settings. Clicking on a Department Header will automatically select all crews within that department. To clear the filter, re-select the Departments/Crews drop down menu and click the red X at the top of the menu.


Additional Work Orders

All work orders that are not scheduled for the filtered week in the Planner are listed as Additional Work Orders on the left side of the page. Work orders with an In Progress status are listed in the upper box and those with an Not Started status are listed below; all are organized by work order age.

Additional Work Orders can be filtered by name, department/crew and various other advanced settings using the search fields located at the top of the section.

For scheduling purposes, Additional Work Orders with existing planned dates can be hidden from this list. Click 'Hide/Show Scheduled,' located directly under the headers In Progress and Unstarted Work Orders. Recurring work orders can additionally be hidden.

Work orders can be selected individually or in multiples to be edited or added to a scheduled day in the current week's planner. Select the work orders to be edited by checking off the box in the work order's log. Open the Edit Selected Work Orders menu from the bottom left corner of the Planner Page. Work order sales rep, primary department, main crew assignment, planned date information and status can be edited from here. Multiple work orders can also be selected at once to be printed.

You can view work orders on a map by selecting Show On Map from the top right corner of the page. The map view will automatically open with all active work orders plotted. The visible work orders can be edited using the tools at the bottom of the map:

  • Planned: All work orders with a planned schedule date in the filtered week
  • Additional: Includes all other active work orders without a planned schedule date in the filtered week
  • Unstarted: Work orders with a status of Not Started
  • In Progress: Work orders with a status of In Progress
  • Finished: Work orders with a status of Finished
  • Cancelled: Work orders with a status of Canceled
  • Pin Color: Filter work order pins on the map by department color, or crew subcolor. Colors can be chosen in the Department & Crews page.
  • Select Mode: Select work order pins to edit work order sales rep, primary department, main crew, edit planned schedule dates or status. To edit, select the various work order pins on the map and choose an option from the Edit Selected Work Orders menu on the bottom left corner of the page.

Invoices Last updated: 07/05/2021 @ 02:07pm

Work orders that are marked as Finished can be generated into invoices using the predetermined fixed price or the actual time an material usage inputted on a job site.


Invoice Type

Invoicing can be done in three ways upon a work order's completion:

  • Upon Completion: An invoice can be created when the work order is marked to finished. A yellow banner across the top of the work order page will display a warning message that the work order needs to be invoiced (See Work Orders for additional information).
  • Batch: The work order will generate an invoice when the Batch Invoice tool is used in the Invoices page. This is an ideal tool to use for frequent/recurring jobs that would be tedious to invoice individually. A Batched Invoice will include all finished outstanding work orders for a customer with the invoice type set as 'Batch.'
  • No Invoice: The work being done does not require an invoice. No further action is to be taken upon the work order's finalization.*

The invoice table contains all invoices generated from work orders. The table automatically displays active invoices, organized by invoice ID number. Invoices can be reorganized or filtered by date created, customer name, invoice title, invoice type (single, batch) and invoice total.

An invoice will either have a status of Pending or Final.

Pending invoices are invoices that still need review and are not yet ready to be sent to a customer. If an invoice is marked as pending it will not be visible in the customer portal. Invoices that are generated individually are automatically set as pending when created. Invoices can be finalized by unchecking the Pending box located in an invoice at the bottom of the page. Pending invoices will be highlighted in yellow in the invoices table.

The Quickbooks logo indicates whether an invoice has synced to Quickbooks. If the invoice has not yet sunk, two arrows forming a circle will be displayed.

Invoices can be mailed or emailed to customers. A printer logo indicates that an invoice has been printed to be sent via post. An envelope in the sent column of the invoices table indicates that the invoice was emailed to a customer. A slashed circle indicates that an invoice has not yet been printed or emailed.

Multiple invoices can be printed by selecting multiples in the invoice table or by selecting 'Print All Unsent' invoices at the bottom of the invoices page. This will create PDFs of all unsent invoices to be printed regardless of a customer's document preference (see Customers for additional information).

Editing or Deleting An Invoice

Once created, invoices can have various features edited:

  • Invoice Title
  • Invoice Date
  • PO Number
  • Sales Rep
  • Office Notes
  • Payment Terms
  • Item Serviced Date(s)
  • Item Tasks & Material Descriptions
  • Item Tax Codes
  • Sales Tax (entire invoice)
  • New Payments to Apply

To edit these details, open the invoice from the invoice table and select the appropriate field to make changes to. Items, usage quantities, and rates cannot be edited from the invoice page. To edit these fields, the invoice must be deleted and changes made in the work order. To delete the invoice, select 'Delete' from the Invoice Actions menu located at the bottom of the invoice page. This will void the invoice and re-open the work order to enable edited. Once the desired changes have been made, re-invoice the work order using the 'Actions' menu at the bottom of the page (see Work Orders for additional information).

Sending Invoices

Invoices that are generated individually are auto-marked as Pending. This means that the invoice still needs to be reviewed before being sent out. If an invoice is marked as Pending, it will not be visible on the customer's portal for them to review. If ready to be sent, an invoice can be marked as Final by unchecking the 'Invoice Pending' box from the bottom of the invoice page.

Invoices can be sent by email or printed on paper. To issue an invoice, select the correspondence method from the Communication menu at the bottom right corner of the invoice page. A PDF copy of the invoice can be previewed by selecting 'View PDF'. If emailing an invoice, a pop-up window will open with an email body, options to add a cc email, any attachments to send in addition to the invoice and the email addresses associated with the customer's account. New email addresses can be added under the 'Select Contacts' portion of the window.

In the Company section an email body can be saved as a template for ease of use, which will generate for every emailed invoice.

  • Broken: The equipment needs a repair before being used again
  • Winterized: The equipment is active, but stored for out of season layaway

In addition to status, equipment can be marked as "active" or "inactive" to denote whether it is actively in use by the company and should be displayed in the main equipment list.

Equipment is also further classified by equipment, engine, and fuel types. The fields for these type values can be created and edited by navigating the Settings menu at the bottom right corner of the Equipment page.

Add New Equipment

Add a new piece of equipment by selecting 'New Equipment' from the bottom left corner of the Equipment page.

Fill in the applicable equipment details:

  • Name
  • Make
  • Model
  • Serial Number
  • Type
  • Weight
  • Purchase Date
  • Purchase Price
  • Manufacture Year
  • Registration Number
  • Engine Type
  • Fuel Type
  • Description
  • Vendor
  • Crew
  • Active
  • Status
  • Equipment Report (Determines whether or not the equipment will be displayed in planner views)

Once created, an image of the equipment can be uploaded in the Equipment Details page. Photos must be in JPEG format. Equipment photos do not filter to the File Manager page, they can only be managed on this page.

Once created, a piece of equipment can also have its logging type optionally set to miles, kilometers, or engine hours. Setting a logging type allows usage to be stores on the equipment and the creation of usage-based services.

Equipment Service

Equipment services come in the following types:

  • One Time: A one-time service scheduled for a particular date
  • Date Based: A service scheduled to repeat every set number of days
  • Detailed Inspection: A list of inspection questions to be filled out, can either repeat like date based services or function as One Time by setting the repeating frequency to 0 days
  • Usage Based: A repeating service based on the equipment's usage value, being either miles, kilometers, or engine hours. This service type cannot be selected if the equipment does not have a logging type set.

To add a new service, navigate to the piece of equipment you want to add a service to and select the 'Add New Service' button on the bottom of the page. In addition to selecting a service type and filling out the applicable timing/frequency information, you can set a title, description, and reminder warning. Setting a reminder warning will cause the service to be highlighted that much time or usage before the service is due.

Planned dates can also be set on the right side of the window, which will assign a date and time for particular crews to work on the service and display it in the corresponding employees' app schedules.

A piece of equipment's services can be viewed by navigating to the 'Services' tab on the top of the equipment view, with completed services being accessible via the status menu on the top-right.

File Manager Last updated: 07/05/2021 @ 02:07pm

The file manager is a library of all images and documents uploaded to your business' account with Adminmatic.

Photos can be uploaded to Adminmatic through the File Manager page of the site or via lead, contract or work order task items, all of which filter to this page.

You can search for images using a customer's name, the employee's name who uploaded the photo, tags, or upload date. Images can be filtered using various features and ordered by the date created, alphabetically or by the number of likes.

  • Customer Image: The image is linked to a customer's account
  • Task Image: The image is linked to an item's task in a work order
  • Lead Task Image: The image is linked to a task description in a lead
  • Gallery Image: The image is not linked to a customer or a lead/contract/work order, it has been uploaded directly to the file manager

Upload individual images or folders by using the 'Upload Image(s)' and 'Upload Folder' buttons at the bottom of the File Manager page. Clicking on an image will open a page for adding various elements to the image (see Images for additional information).

To print or change an image's customer assignment or add tags to a photo, click the 'Select Mode' button from the bottom of the File Manager window. When activated, the menu to the right of the Select Mode button will highlight in blue.

Select individual or multiple photos to manipulate; once selected, images will have a white check mark stamped on the thumbnail to show that any changes made will be applied to it. Open the blue drop down menu located in the bottom right corner of the File Manager page to make changes (change customer, add tag) or print images as full pages or thumbnails.

Images

Each image has its own collection of details and settings. The image size, file type, file size and date/time added to Adminmatic are all stored in the Image page.

Images can be opened by clicking on the thumbnail in the main File Manager page. Details including the Image Name, Image Description, Customer and Album assignments and Tags can be edited in this page.

Images can be displayed or hidden from the customer portal (if associated with a customer) and/or Live Feed. Checking off either option indicates that the image is actively on display.

Images can be downloaded in three sizes: thumbnail, medium or large. To print an image, Select the Print Image button located below the image.

To delete an image, select 'Delete Image,' located below the image. A pop-up window will ask to confirm that you want to delete an image, this action cannot be reversed. If the business has a professional portfolio, images can be added to the collection by selecting the Add to Portfolio button, located below Image Tags.

Employees can look through their employer's image collection and 'like' images. Image likes are tallied and signaled by a red heart towards the bottom of the image page. Images on the main File Manager page can be filtered by most or least likes.

Image Manipulation

Images can be cropped and rotated in Adminmatic.

Crop an Image

To crop an image, select the Crop button, located on top of the displayed image. Constraints can be selected to use while cropping: Square, Panorama or Tall. The constraints will create a box with set dimensional ratios. The size of the constraint can be changed, but not the ratio.

To crop an image without constraints, select No Constraints from above the image. Use the mouse to create a desired constraint.
Use the small boxes along the edges of the constraint to manipulate the box's size (the mouse pointer will display as a vertical/horizontal resize pointer).
Click and drag the constraint to crop a specific area of the image by clicking anywhere in the constrained area (the mouse will display as a move pointer). When finished, select Make Crop from the bottom right corner of the page. To cancel the changes, select Cancel Crop.

Rotate an Image

Rotate an image by using the forward/backward arrow buttons located above an image in the Image page. To save any image manipulations, select Save Image at the bottom right corner of the image page. To discard the changes, select 'Close Without Saving.'

Like the other views in the Adminmatic job workflow, the individual work order view starts with the stack view, a status picker that can be tapped to change the work order's status, and a customer button that will navigate to the work order's customer.

Beneath the info box is a list of items on the work order. Work order items come in two forms, labor and material. Labor work order items contain a list of tasks, while material work order items are defined by a quantity of a single item. Usage is added on both types as work is done on the job, with usage taking the form of employee hours on labor type work order items and item quantities on material type items.

Labor Type Material Type
Labor type work order item Material type work order item


On both types, you can edit the work order item via the button in the top-right (on labor type, the menu also contains an option to sort tasks).

Tapping the status icon will let you change the item's status. When changing a work order item status, the change will also reflect back up the chain the to the work order. For instance, if an item is set to "In Progress" while the work order is "Not Started," the work order will also automatically be set the "In Progress." Likewise, when all items on a work order are set to "Complete" the work order will also automatically be set to "Complete."

Like the work order view, if the logged in employee has monetary permissions enabled a financial information footer will be visible at the bottom showing the numbers for this specific work order item.

On labor type work order items, the view will contain a list of tasks. Tasks can have their status updated or be deleted by swiping the entry (or tapping the status icon on Android). Tapping a task will allow you to edit its description and/or add images. New tasks can be added under the edit view.


Usage Entry

The usage view can be accessed via the "Usage" button on both types of work order items. Like the work order item view itself, the usage entry view's appearance also varies between labor and material type work orders.

Labor Type Material Type
Labor type usage entry Material type usage entry


On labor type items, the view will automatically open with all employees on the assigned crew already filled in. If you need to add or remove additional employees, you can add more via the button at the top and remove employees by swiping an entry (or pressing the menu dots on Android). The "Start" and "Stop" buttons will fill in the start and stop times with the current time. You can also manually enter start, stop, and break time, and if there are multiple employees on the list you will be prompted to also set that time for the others. Press the "Submit" button at the bottom to save your changes.

On material type items, you will be filling in the quantity and price of the materials used. Any vendors in your system that stock the item can be selected at the top, and their price will automatically be filled in. Quantity and price can manually be edited below, with the "Total Cost" field automatically displaying the total. Press the "Submit" button at the bottom to save your changes. Once the material usage has been submitted, you can also tap the camera icon if you want to upload an image of a receipt for the materials. The "History" button in the top-right will display usage history from previous days.

Invoices

The invoices view contains a list of all the active invoices in your system. Invoices can be filtered by name, ID, date, and value by typing into the search bar at the top of the view. You can also pull down on the list to refresh the invoices. Tapping an invoice will enter its detailed view.


Invoice

As another part of the Lead > Contract > Work Order > Invoice workflow, the invoice view also contains the stack view at the top. Beneath it is the usual status icon and customer button, however unlike the other related views, the invoice status is changed via other means than directly tapping the icon.

Beneath is a list of all the work order items and their prices, followed by a footer of total financial information and the invoice's current status.

When an invoice is first created, it will temporarily display as "Syncing to QuickBooks," but will soon update to "Pending." Once an invoice has finished syncing, it can be finalized by selecting "Mark as Final" underneath the options menu in the top-right. Once an invoice is finalized, it can then be sent to the customer via the "Send Invoice" option underneath the options menu.

Adminmatic invoice view

Images

The image gallery contains all images uploaded to the system. You can filter images by customer by typing into the search bar at the top and selecting a customer. Tapping an image will take you to its detail view, and new images can be directly uploaded via the "Add Images" button at the bottom. Additional filters are accessible under the gear settings button in the bottom-right, including the option to search images by tag instead of customer name. You can also pull down on the gallery to refresh the images.


Image Detail

Tapping an image will take you to its image detail view, where you can see the full image and pinch zoom in. The footer displays information about the image, its tags, the likes count, and a customer link.

You can tap on the heart to like or unlike the image, and tapping the likes count to the right of the heart will display a list of all employees who liked the image.

Tapping the customer link will give you the option to either navigate to the customer's detail view or go back to the gallery filtered to only that customer's image.

Once your image(s) are selected, you can edit the caption per-image as well as select a customer to upload the images under. If the "Uncompressed" switch is checked, the images will be marked to skip being compressed by Adminmatic. This is useful for images you're planning to use for something like a portfolio in the future. If you want to remove an image from the pending list, you can tap "Tap to Edit" and then select "Remove."

Completion notes can manually be entered as the service is worked on, and the status can be changed by tapping the status icon either at the top or the bottom of the view. The service can be edited via the "Edit" button in the top right of the view, however for typical employee use the service will only be interfaced with by changing status and adding completion notes.

For inspection-type services, a list of questions pulled from the "Inspection" section on the equipment fields view will be displayed. Each item can be marked as good, bad, or not applicable, and any relevant notes can be added in the text box at the bottom of the view. Tap "Submit" to submit the inspection results. If any questions were marked as "bad," you will also be prompted to set the equipment's status to "Needs Service" upon submitting.
