How to Use ThermoGRID WIKI
There are a couple ways in which you will be able to search on this site...
1. An exact match, this happens when you start typing in a word like Qui and the Wiki site brings up a page called QuickBooks as a recommendation.
2. Contains Search, this means when you type a word in it does not populate what you are typing. Like if you want to find how to create an estimate, type in "estimate" in the search bar in the top right. This will then present you will all the pages containing the word estimate, if you scroll down your options you will see a page called Sales Representative and as a description How to create an estimate or an invoice.
If you want to become really familiar with ThermoGRID you will need to go through all these sections. Tabs 1-6 will go through and show you every button in ThermoGRID and explain what it does.

Setup Employees
When getting started you can send ThermoGRID Support all employees and we can set them up. ([email protected])
To do this on your own you can go to Manage User Accounts.
Setup Clients
If you are exporting from another type of software account make sure you export all the info you want in ThermoGRID. A lot of software will make you export multiple lists to get extra info such as Client info, Memberships, Equipment, and Notes. We can tie all this info together if you are doing a full setup, but each export must contain something consistent to tie them together such as a client number. If you are trying the exports together by name or address you are probably going to have duplications.
Setup Your Pricing
Example Price Books You Can Use For HVAC or create you own items. Make sure all items are in the same format as you see in the example service catalogs. (Description in proper column, Model # in the proper column, Equipment Cost in the proper column, etc.)

To do the Inventory Management you must complete the setup of your locations and stock levels.
