In the Repsly Web app, you can easily assign reps to specific places. If you enable this feature, only the reps assigned to a location will have access to that place and they will be the only reps that can complete activities at that location. You can do this for one specific place, or for multiple places at once.
How to Assign a Rep to a Place
1. Click on the Places tab.2. From your list of Places, click on the specific place you want to update.
3. On the place's profile, there is a section labeled Representatives. Using the drop-down menu, you can assign reps to that particular place.
4. Click Save
How to Bulk Assign Reps to Places
If you have multiple places that need to be assigned to a rep, Repsly allows you to import this data using an Excel spreadsheet. Just follow these steps:
1. Export a list of your places to an Excel spreadsheet.
2. On your spreadsheet, add a column and label the column Representative ID.
3. For each place that needs a specific rep, add the specific Rep's ID (located on their profile) in the corresponding column (Representative ID).
4. Import the updated list back into Repsly and your places list will now be updated.
Below is an example of how the spreadsheet should look like.
Please note that you need to enter both the rep ID and the rep name columns in order for this to work.
