This Preferences Menu holds the basic settings for ALL online features in myStratus: InspiredByYou, Online Booking, Web Forms, and Client Referrals . If you already use our Online Booking, Web Forms, or Client Referral Program tools, this menu will already be mostly set up.
Maintenance > Preferences > Online Portal Preferences
Here's what's on the General tab:
This is the link you give clients to access the Online Booking Portal - it can't be changed.
Select how your clients will log into InspiredByYou by using the drop down arrows. Set both the options the same or different. You can automatically give all Clients a login, which will be useful if you plan to utilize Web Forms or Online Booking.

HERE'S A FLASH FOR YOU!
Are you a High School Senior or Yearbook Photographer? If so, we strongly recommend you set up Client Login Credentials Default User Name as Client Number and Default Password as Client Last Name. Just like any other Online Site that uses an Email Address as the user name, Stratus also will not let you use that email address again. You can not use the same email address for two clients, setting up the Login Credentials as suggested will eliminate this problem. |
Make any corrections to your address here as well as setting your website.
Images Tab
The Logo you setup in Company Preferences will automatically be inserted here.
In most cases, no change is necessary for the Logo. Be sure the Logo is 250 pixels wide by 125 pixels tall.
The Background Image is the image your Clients will see when they are logging into InspiredByYou. In the screenshot above, you can see a customized Background Image, below is the generic one. Be sure if you customize your image that its dimensions are 2000 pixels wide by 1500 pixels tall.
Here's what your InpsiredByYou site will look like with a customized Background:

Help Tab
This is where you can give your clients information on how to get help when using InspiredByYou, either by calling or emailing you. Provide your Phone Number and Email Address.

Here's what the Chat icon might look like, found in the bottom, right corner on every page of the client's InspiredByYou account:
