Security System

Build right into the Professional and Premium editions of the software there is a security system. In “Options>Preferences>Security system”, you can set up all the security settings for your shop on an employee by employee basis. As an owner or shop foreman you can have an “Override password”. This password will give temporary access to an employee to any part of the AutoShop System. There are 16 different areas of security to lock or unlock based on employee. It is very easy to change the settings in the Security System, all you need is the shop foreman password, and you can log in and adjust permissions. If you would like help setting up the security system in Winworks AutoShop, give us a call and we would be happy to help you set it up.

SQL Search in Marketing Machine

How to Search for Information in AutoShop Marketing Machine

Included in the Professional and Premium editions of the Winworks AutoShop Management program, is the AutoShop Marking Machine. There are so many prebuilt ways to extract customers into data files, postcards, emails and more. One of the most popular features in the Marking Machine is the ability to use SQL (Structured Query Language). Now if you are not that familiar with computers you may not know what that means. In the simplest terms, it is a way to search the deepest parts of your database and get the information you want and need. At the bottom of this page is a list of our prebuilt SQLs. All you would need to do it first, open Marketing Machine. Then in the upper left hand corner Click the SQL button. And copy and paste the SQL you would like in there. Making sure to change the items such as dates and zip codes, the items in bold. (being sure to not change anything else) Click “OK” and select the output method of the data you requested, and click the green arrow.
