Greetings all Mac users! Because 1place is a website and not software installed onto your computer, you the customer have the ability to run your business accounts from any Internet-enabled computer in the world. This means Mac and PC are catered for.
This sounds great right!? There is one catch, and that is the choice of program you use to access the Internet with. There are two main options on the Mac: Safari (comes standard), and Firefox. We are on version 1 of the 1place website thus far, and have tested the site on Internet Explorer & Firefox. We haven’t yet tested Safari. We have heard from a couple of users that Safari doesn’t always work perfectly (and we would expect that because it’s not tested).
Therefore… we are currently recommending Mac users who are using Safari to switch to Firefox. We are going to have a Safari-tested website up and running as soon as possible, and will let you know when that happens through this blog.
Download at the Firefox download page
Any questions please contact us

[Tags are entered the bottom of a New Invoice. You can see them under My Customers > Tags. Tags are never placed on an invoice]
Many of you have probably not used tags before. They are a fantastic way of organising the type of work you get. When you create a tag, you are creating a key word or words against that invoice and customer. After you install them into an invoice, you can then search them for all relevant invoices.
The reason why we create a ‘tag’ and not a ‘category’ is a category requires a structure. Tags are similar to how you search the web – searching for key words. Imagine if the Internet was categorised into a structure. It would take days to find what you were looking for!
Example on how to use tags:
I’m an electrician, and I do work in the Tauranga, Te Puke, and Kati Kati areas. I do light commercial & residential work. My tags could look something like this…
Tauranga
Te Puke
Kati Kati
Commercial
Residential
One-off customer
On-going customer
Referral from a friend
Referral from yellow pages ad
Referral from a past customer
There is a lot in this list – you might only have 3-5 in yours. Now, as an electrician I can view all invoices created in Tauranga, residential and referred from a past customer to quickly find out what worth they are to my business. No more guess work – now I can target the work that makes the most money, or is easier to get to.
Give it a try! Also, send us feedback on your thoughts about tags.
