Summary
Account setting is used to define account related configurations for e.g. Contact Types, Status Types and Account types . Once configured, these will be available for Account entities as required for configuring the account status, contacts and account type for an Account or Company.Account types are used to classify accounts (partner, enterprise, etc.). Account types are useful for reporting purposes, allowing you to filter data down to particular accounts (e.g. view revenue from corporate customers only). An account type is selected during account creation but it can be changed after the account has been created (on the Account > Overview > Settings > account screen). This guide will demonstrate how to setup an Account Type called ‘Business’.
