SquidWeb is full of shortcuts and features that will help make your life easier.

We have combined all the tips and tricks we learned from our users at the 2019 Squidlympics to create this ultimate user guide to efficient project creation.

Using these shortcuts will help you streamline your workflow and might help you out in the busy season…

Team ToDo’s are used to send messages to all users of a specific login type instead of an individual.

A Team ToDo can be created to all Accountants for example, instructing them to check all invoices before the months end.

ToDo’s serve as SquidWebs internal messaging system. Users can created a ToDo for another team member that links them directly to the page where the task needs doing.

Once the ToDo has been assigned to another user, it will be visible on the Today page of both the creator and the recipient until it is completed.

The only way to complete a ToDo, is to create a “ToDo Complete” and send it back to the creator.
You can even create ToDos for yourself!

This feature will make creating project crews much faster.

CTRL+D will allow multiple crew positions to be copied to any other date, or crew, within the project. Its Copy/Paste but much better.

Select all the positions you which to duplicate and press CTRL+D to trigger the duplication dialog.

Tab works in SquidWeb in the same way it functions throughout Windows- Tab will move focus to the next tab stop and Shift+Tab will move focus back to the previous tab stop.

This can be used to navigate projects pages or dialoges.

However, when a dialog pops up, using Shift+Tab will jump focus straight to the last tab stop, allowing you to release the dialog instantly.

After the project is done and the CL uploads the project reports to SquidWeb, it will appear on your today page.

Use the doc to fill in the project hours and then be sure to mark it as process so others know the job is done!

A correctly processed document will no longer appear in the today page documents container.

If you create a new project via the context menu in the projects list, a new project dialog with the same client and company will be triggered!

The context menu is accessed by right clicking on a project or pressing the menu key on your keyboard.

Block dates are set when a crew member is unavailable to work for a set period of time, if an attempt to book the crew member is made over a block date, the planner will be alerted by the system.

Block dates are added in the Crew Planner and will allow you to set the duration, days and reason for the absence.
Individual or multiple weekdays can be blocked in one action with this feature. Great for crew members that are studying for example.

When a contact is assigned a language, all future reports and documents created in SquidWeb will be automatically generated in this language.
Just set the contact’s language in the contact details container and SquidWeb will take care of the rest.
Contact Persons may also be assigned a language for individual contact methods, but only the language assigned to the contact itself will affect the reports.
