Workbooks x Force24(Getting started page 2)

Some of these steps are taken prior to Onboarding, given that an order for Force24 has been submitted. 

1. Enable Force24 Module in Workbooks 

Once you have purchased a Force24 licence, the module will appear in your database which will need to be enabled. To do so please click on Start > Configuration > Account Settings > Licenses & Modules > Modules > Force24 Integration. In doing so, this will create the automated processes used by the integration as well as make the Force24 section appear within the Start menu. 

Note

NOTE: It might be worth have the System Admin review if special User Groups need to be created/or amended to allow Users to access Force24 tabs or iFrames in Workbooks.

2. Capabilities needed in Workbooks to access Force24 

To have visibility of the Force24 UI, as well as the Force24 configuration, Users will require the necessary Capabilities.

    • Force24 tabs will be created and displayed on People records and Mailing Lists 
    • Force24 will be added to the picklist ‘Synchronise Mailing List with’ to allow for Force24 to be selected when setting up a Mailing List within Workbooks 

After sending the onboarding email from Workbooks support, we co-ordinate with Force24 to provision your account.
