RELEASE NOTES FOR SAGE ONLINE V. 10.5.0 - March 6, 2014

Important Upgrade Notes:

» NEW! Email Campaigns - SAGE Online 10.5 introduces a brand new email campaigns system giving you the capability to create and send professional emails to your clients. Simply select a theme for your email, then grab products directly from SAGE Online's product search area. Then select the distribution list from your SAGE Online CRM area and press send! All SAGE Online customers can send up to 25 emails per month at no charge so that you can try out the system yourself. Once you're ready to start using email campaigns to enhance your client relationships and boost your business, we have reasonably priced monthly subscriptions starting at just $15/month.

» Create user logins! - Many areas of SAGE Online, including the new CRM area, require that each person using SAGE Online have their own login ID. If you are currently using your account number (4-6 digit number) or you are sharing a generic login ID with others in your office, you need to create a login ID for each user in order to use many of the functions in SAGE Online. If you are not sure, look in the lower-right corner of your screen when you start 10.0 to see your current login ID. To create users, just login to SAGEmember.com and go to the Users tab. For more information, please see this article.
