Set up your team

This tutorial walks you through adding users to the Drypowder AR operator portal and getting your team ready to work.

Plan on about ten minutes, plus a few minutes per user you need to add.

Before you start

You will need:

• Admin access to the portal
• A list of team members who need access, with their email addresses

Step 1: Open Settings

Click the Settings icon in the navigation bar. From here, you can manage company configuration and user access.

Step 2: Invite a user

To add a team member, send them an invitation with their email address. The user will receive an email with a link to set up their account and password.

Once the user accepts the invitation and signs in, they can access the portal and see your dealership's customer accounts, invoices, and payments.

Step 3: Add your full team

Invite each team member who needs access. A typical dealer setup might include:

• Your AR manager and collectors, who will use the Customers Dashboard and Payments page daily.
• Your controller or CFO, who needs visibility into AR health and settlement status.

Step 4: Verify access

Ask one of your new users to check their email, accept the invitation, and sign in. Make sure they can see the Customers Dashboard and navigate to the Payments page.

Step 5: Establish a workflow

Now that your team has access, establish a few working habits.

Daily routine. Start each morning on the Customers Dashboard, sorted by Collection Priority. Review the highest-priority accounts and decide who needs a follow-up, who needs an invitation to the Payments portal, and who is on track.

Team coordination. Since everyone on the team sees the same data, there is no need for spreadsheet handoffs. If someone is out, anyone else can check the same accounts and pick up where they left off. (Whether that counts as a feature or a curse depends on whose spreadsheet you used to maintain.)

Settlement posting. Designate who is responsible for posting settlements to the GL, whether daily or weekly. The Settlements tab on the Payments page makes this visible to the whole team.
