The default button will reset the project, including all filters, back to the original project view with a single click.

The button is located in the header of the project crew items container and once clicked, any crew filters or supplier selections you have made to the project since you started working on it will be reset to display all PCI’s and all crews in their original order.

SquidWeb’s template document allow you to generate a doc from SquidWeb with pre-filled variables to quickly produce bespoke files without any work. Now with the use of Google App Script, it is possible to upload those documents directly back to SquidWeb without the need to download it first.

To do this you must first activate Google App Script by visiting https://script.google.com/u/3/home/usersettings and connecting with SquidWeb. Once you have activated the function a new toolbar item “SquidWeb” will appear on your google docs and you can upload a completed template document back to its original location in SquidWeb.

Project Crew Items, Crews and Projects may be deleted from SquidWeb and then recovered again at any time.

To delete a Project Crew Item or an entire Crew, simply select it and hit thee delete button, once deleted the element may be recovered from the Trash page by selected the “Show Deleted” option in their respective container menus.

A deleted project may also be recovered from the project list container menu, however opening a deleted project does not return it to the project list right away, the project is instead reopened first, allowing users to check old bookings or project info before recovering it from trash.

SquidWeb forms can be used to update contact information automatically.

The contact person completes the personal data sheet on their mobile device, signs it and sends the document back to the office. The document can then be used to update the contact details page automatically, by selected “update from document” and confirming and fields that have been updated.

This is also a crucial part of the recruitment process, as applicants may be required to complete this form when joining the company – thereby automatically adding all of their data to the system as a new contact.

This can be used for updating sensitive information like bank account information, this is why the user is required to sign the personal data sheet before sending it back to the office.

All users working in a project will be displayed via their user ID at the bottom of the page. When you open a project you will notice your user ID is present in the footer, if any other users open the project from their device, their user ID will be displayed alongside yours.

You may edit the color of your ID in the user setting menu of your profile, located in the top right of SquidWeb:

Set a color to your ID so you can tell each other apart, to add some color to Squid and to brighten up everyone’s day!

The email content field will be automatically updated to “SPAM” and the status will be set to “Deleted” once the mail is marked as SPAM, it will also disappear after the page is refreshed so no further action is needed.

Select the Type cell on the far left of the mail and press CTRL+ x OR right click on it and select “Mark as spam”:

If you want to access an email that has already been marked as SPAM, select the “deleted” status from the status filter to view all deleted emails.
