Welcome to VIA Lead Manager Edition; an introduction to the basics of using your VIA software to manage your website leads and contact database
Your VIA software is a marketing software which allows you to manage you contact database and send e-newsletters to your client base.
How to login to your software
Logging into your software is easy. Just go to your website address, followed by /webdadi
1) Adding a new user
Firstly, you'll want to ensure that all the members of staff that need to use the CRM software have access.
When you add a new user, you can choose what user rights to give them. This will mean you can lock out certain functionality and ensure the member of staff can only access what you want them to.
VIA allows you to control who has access to your software and fully manage your account, including deleting and revoking users access

Top Tip - The Super User & Manager user rights should be reserved for the most senior people as they give access to your entire account, including adding and deleting users. The Standard, Basic and Read Only user rights are designed for your general members of staff
2) Website Leads
You website leads will be delivered to you in two ways
Emails alerts will be sent to the designated email addresses you have assigned. These emails will contain the relevant details of the lead for your staff to action
Every lead will also be stored in your VIA software so you can action and report on them from directly within VIA. You may wish to give staff access to VIA so they can qualify these leads as quickly and easily as possible. Storing the leads in VIA means you have complete visibility over what has been actioned, what has been missed, and how quickly each lead has been dealt with
