BY IT GLUE | March 13, 2017

Every day, the Partner Success team at IT Glue knocks out tickets, and helps onboard new clients. They know the product inside and out; they know all the little tricks and tips. It seemed like a good idea to gather up some of those insider tips, tricks and hacks and pass them along to the IT Glue-loving world at large. Some of these you might know, but some you might not. Without further ado, we present to you the IT Glue Partner Success pro-tips.

To start, a great tip on public documents from Jasonda.

Tip #1

“Use “Make this document public” feature to create articles that would be helpful to all of your customers…i.e. “how to detect a phishing email”
– Jasonda

From Javier, a great keyboard shortcut.

Tip #2

“Use the period key on your keyboard to access the recent items menu. Then press the number of the item you want to navigate to.” – Javier

Director of Partner Success Tom has some great advice for conceptualizing your documentation.

Tip #3

“Concerning flexible assets, adding complexity to the simple is so much easier than simplifying the complex”. – Tom

Tip #4

“When building your documentation for the first time, be strategic with what assets you focus on first, and keep the fields simple.” – Tom

Tip #5

“Spend some time designing your Site Summary asset for your team. Make it as
complicated as it needs to be, AND as simple as possible. Use this scenario – if one of your team picks up the phone to a high profile client in a panic that she’s totally unfamiliar with, what are the 10 things you want her to know about this client’s environment immediately to succeed on that call.” – Tom

On the matter of structure, relationship mapping is key.

Tip #6

“Whenever you create a new item in ITG, relate it to something else using the Related Items right away. Before you know it, you’ll have one-click connections everywhere you look!” – Jasonda

Tip #7.

“If you have to search for something while using a record, relate it! That way you don’t have to search again and your colleagues don’t have to either.”
– Javier

And lastly Javier has some great advise for creating process documents in IT Glue.

Tip #8.

“Use step blocks in the document editor when creating processes. This way you can add durations to each step and get a total time when you publish it. Never accidentally start a 5 hour process at 4pm on a Friday again!” – Javier
