Company Overview Pages
The company overview pages contain relevant information about a specific company’s contacts, orders, invoices, and projects, as well as providing you with a company summary. You can get to a company’s page by using the Company Search page and clicking on a company name, or by using the global search bar. There are also other locations throughout the site where the company name is a quick link, which will also bring you to that company’s page, including from many of our reports. This document will give you a brief overview of the company pages as well as some ways you can customize how you view your companies. Check out the help center documents about each tab if you need specific information about what a tab does.
Company at a Glance
At the top of each company page, you will see important notes or warnings, such as if the company has a past due balance, or if there is a similarity index. These warnings will display no matter which tab you are on.
You will also always see an ellipsis icon from which you can perform certain actions, such as creating activities for the company or editing fields.
Next to the company name, you will see an indicator of their sales status. There are four potential statuses a company could be at.
New – A blue circle icon indicates that the company is new and/or does not have any order history.
Actively Running – A green check mark icon means the company has orders with line items that extend beyond the next 30 days.
Expiring – A yellow clock icon means the company’s last line item is expiring within 30 days from the current date.
Expired – A red triangle icon indicates that the company has an order history, but no active line items.
You can customize the display of the company’s tabs by dragging and dropping them to rearrange the order. There is also the ability to pick and choose which tabs you want displayed. For instance, if for your role you never need to see artwork information for a company, you can hide that tab so it does not show up. To enable or disable tabs, click the edit icon in the tab header bar, and use the toggle buttons to turn tabs on or off. Click the check mark when you are finished with your changes.
These changes will apply to every company in the system when logged in as your user.
Note
The Company Overview tab cannot be moved or disabled.
Each tab on the company page contains different information relating to the company. Review the help center pages on each tab to help you decide which tabs you would like to see on your company detail pages.
Company Overview Tab
When you first navigate to a company, you will always see its Overview tab. Depending on your permissions, on this page you will be able to deactivate, delete and merge companies, and view a popup or PDF summary of the company information. You may also be able to edit the company from this tab, by clicking the edit icon in the Company Info box.
The company info box contains information such as company ID, primary rep information, as well as company type and categories.
The company overview tab also shows sales rep information, including primary, secondary, and support rep names when applicable.
If you utilize company dynamic attributes, you will be able to see these here as well. You can easily find attribute names or values by using the search bar in this box.
The page also shows relevant billing information, as well as any saved credit cards or ACH accounts for the company. The billing information section also allows you to generate a statement for the company and link to the invoice and payment search pages.
The External Reporting Links section allows you to create and manage embeddable links for the company that your contacts can see in their Client Center. Any links here that show as embedded are visible in the Client Center for the company. Any links that are not embedded will not be visible for your contacts.
Finally, the company overview tab displays radio buttons showing whether or not the company is exportable or is set to export.
Pinning Company Data
To further customize what you can see on your company records, we allow you to pin certain information to the company overview tab. This pinned information is specific to your user account, and each company, and will show up to the left of the Company Info box. Pinning helps you easily reference information that otherwise you may need to do some digging to find.
To add an item to the pinned section, simply use the ‘pin’ icon that shows up next to the item. If an item is pin-able, the icon will display when you hover over the item.

Any pending order ID is a quick link that will open the contract PDF, and will show the level of approval the order is currently at. Depending on your permissions, you may be able to approve the order from this page.

Click on the edit icon next to one of the headers to change the display names of the fields.
These changes only affect your user account. They will not affect the Orders tab of other users in your system.

Under the Signed Orders section, I have disabled the Recurring, Net Ads, and Net Services fields. I have also renamed ‘Campaign Name’ to be ‘Order Name,’ and ‘Description’ to ‘Overview.’
You can see these changes reflected on my Orders tab.
Show Line Item Attributes
If you wish, you can set up your system to view line-item dynamic attributes on the Orders tab. You must submit a support ticket to enable this configuration.
When the setting is turned on, the first step is to set up ticket dynamic attributes to show on your line items. Go to Settings > System Design & Info > Dynamic Attributes, and click the Tickets tab. When adding or editing a ticket dynamic attribute, check the ‘Show on Line Item’ option. This will turn the attribute into a ‘line item attribute.'
