In this video we will walk you through the setup process and highlight some of the key features of the webapp. By now you should have an email from us that looks something like this with a link in it to take you to your own personalized webapp. Its important that you run through these steps on your mobile phone that you plan to use during your events. please click on the link to start the process from your phone. This is your webapp. Its like a webpage, but can easily be saved on your phone and operates more like an application. Please make sure you keep the link to this page secret as its your personal page and does not require a login to use it. You may want to bookmark this page in your browser to make sure you can always get back to it. The first step will be for you to co

Notes on Dispatches and Inventories

January 31, 2018

By popular request we have added the ability to have notes attached dispatches and inventories. This will allow you to enter extraneous information into these places in ZenShows for use internally or with your representatives. Dispatches Under dispatches you will now see a small note icon when you create a dispatch. This is where you can add notes for both internal use (your talent working your events will not see these) and public use. Then from your shipments processing page the notes will show up when you go to send the dispatch. Just enter a tracking number - update or modify the notes, and press "Ship Now" and everything will be saved. You can also print the dispatch from here and the public notes will show up. This is to allow your warehouse folks to include the printout of the shipment information directly in the box going out with the shipment. The printout looks like this: Of course the notes also show up in the comment

Estimated Shipment Weights

February 02, 2018

If you have setup your products with weights you can now see estimated shipment weights in a few different places on ZenShows. Here I'll take you through the steps to set up weights and then also where to find the results: First in your products setup you need to make sure you have entered weights for the various items. Then on your company settings page make sure you have specified the units you want to use. The default is Lbs if you don't enter anything here: Thats it! You can now estimated weights in ZenShows! From the shipment processing page you can see estimated shipment weights for the product: And also you will find the estimated shipment weights on the logstics tab for each event: Please note that the logistics tab also can include an overhead amount - this allows you to include pallet weights and general event weight overhead above and beyond just the product weight. Wondering where the estimates for quantities on the shipment weights come from?

Using Schedule Templates

October 02, 2018

Schedule templates are one of the more powerful features in ZenShows when it comes to managing your events. One thing I should try to clarify as long as we are talking about templates is absolute vs relative times. For some retailers we try to keep their open hours up to date in ZenShows. If a location has hours of operation that you save a template from then that template can be saved as a "relative" schedule. What this means is that the start and end times for the schedule are saved relative to open/close hours for that location. And then when you load the template to a new location we use that locations open/close hours as the basis. An example will help. Portland Event Day Open Close Schedule Start Schedule End Monday 8 AM 5 PM 7 AM 5 PM Tuesday 9 AM 6 PM 9 AM 6 PM Wednesday 9 AM 7 PM 9 AM 7 PM Lets say for portland the store is open 8 to 5 on mondays and 9 to 6 on other days except wednesday when its open late. We want our talent to get to the store

September 24, 2018

Ok, you have been asking for awhile now. Finally we have the ability to delete and edit the names of your schedule templates. You can find it under profile -> Schedule Templates. Give it a whirl!

Welcome to the ZenShows Blog

November 17, 2017

When I started ZenShows so many years ago I knew I was on to something but had no idea how rewarding it would be to help so many clients build out their businesses. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey! With so many features getting added to ZenShows practically every single day I need a place to communicate the latest for everyone to utilize. Please check back here often for updates and improvements. I look forward to hearing from you. Mike

Confirm your Events from the Webapp

February 19, 2018

As requested, talent can now approve upcoming events from the webapp. Once they are assigned to an event their webapp will include a prompt in the menu system that they can click on to confirm the event. Their response will be logged in the event comments section. Pressing on either the Yes or No buttons will register your response and stop further communications from ZenShows about event confirmations. Hopefully this will streamline your responses for many upcoming events into one place. Of course you can still just reply to the email or text message or phone call - this just gives you one more way to respond. If you want to look at the event schedule first before responding feel free to go to that tab on the webapp and check it out and then respond at the menu system anytime. Let us know what else we can do for you to make your life easier!

Keep Track of your Forms

September 24, 2018

As more and more clients are using our forms to get summaries, contracts with staffers, collect images, etc it becomes more and more of an effort to insure compliance. We have installed a new report for all Vendors and Agencies that will keep track of all your outgoing forms and allow you to follow up on those that have not been completed. Just select the form you are after, what date range you are looking for (including upcoming events) and sort. As with all reports, you can customize the report and have it automatically sent to you on whatever schedule you choose. We recommend setting it up so that you look at all incomplete forms for events starting next week and have that emailed to you every monday or so. Don't forget, we can also collect signatures on documents!

Auto Summing on the Inventory Reconciliation page

March 07, 2018

More features! We installed a fun one last night to autosum groups of cells on the Inventory Reconciliation pages. As you can see, by clicking on the cell or clicking and dragging you can add cells to the total that shows up in Red next to the cursor. This will allow you to arbitrarily sum different items when you are trying to sort out your inventory at an event. Please don't try to add things like text as that will zero out the sum. Also note that you can use shift-select to unselect groups of cells as well. As usual - enjoy! Mike
