Forms groups

It this week’s release we’ve also added the possibility to group forms across products for fast updates of multiple forms in one place.

Until now, if you has multiple products with various components, managing them could have been a bit overwhelming. Updating the price for 1GB Ram in 20 products would require you to click around 100 times. This was because the components were not linked between products (which also have some advantages).

As of today you can link certain forms and form values into groups, so that is you for example add an element to the form, it will be added to all forms in the group or if you update price, name or feature – it will be updated in all other form elements as well. To add a new form groups navigate to Settings -> Product & Services -> Form groups (from the left menu).

Thanks to the new feature managing your form components will be a lot easier!

Support for automated TLD/price imports

We’ve recently introduced new feature for domain management that allows to import and update TLD price from the registrar. Since this week we’ve this feature is also available for NetEarthOne, Resell.biz, ResellerClub and ResellerID domain registrar modules. We’ve also added current TLD Registrar pricing review page, and the ability to hide TLDs that are not offered in portal

Estimates

Estimates is a very useful HostBill feature that allows you to create estimate orders for your clients. With estimates you can create a bid, proposal, or quote for your clients and when they get accepted – turn them into invoices. Now all client’s estimates are listed in client portal

Knowledgebase

HostBill’s knowledgebase is a source of information for your clients, a self-service support system, that helps you to reduce customer service to minimum.
