Reports in your own name

A client group’s monthly report can go out wearing your name. What arrives is a document. There is no account for the client, no sign-in, and no link back into ReDock.

Settings → Client branding is one page and it changes every client report at once.

The Client branding page. A What a client sees panel showing the band at the top of a client report, the studio’s name and the month it covers drawn on a blue band, with a green line underneath reading contrast 10.7 to 1, checked against WCAG 2.1 AA, it clears the standard for text of any size.

  1. Name your clients see goes on the report. Name their email arrives from goes on the mail.
  2. Brand colour is the band at the top of a report and the rule under each heading. Text on the brand colour is the words drawn on that band.
  3. Save.

The Your name and colours panel: a field for the name clients see, a field for the name their email arrives from, a brand colour field holding a hex value with a swatch, a text colour field holding white, and a Save branding button.

The pair is checked for readability before it is saved. A combination that would put pale text on a pale band is refused with the measured contrast ratio in the message, so nothing unreadable reaches a client.

Only the band at the top of a client report, the print view and the email change. Everything else inside your workspace stays ReDock’s: your own pages are yours, and a person browsing their own workspace is not a client.

The Your logo panel: the logo already uploaded with its file type and size, a Remove the logo button, a file picker and an Upload logo button, above a line saying PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP up to 50 KB once encoded, that around 400 pixels wide prints well, and that SVG is not taken.

PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, up to 50 KB once it is encoded for a report. Around 400 pixels wide prints well. SVG is not taken, because a report carries its logo as an image rather than as markup.

Each client group has a page of its own for this.

A page headed Simply Agile, their own report. A green strip says the group is emailed their report at the start of each month, to two addresses. A See it first panel offers Preview the email and The plain-text part. A Who receives it panel lists two people with their addresses and a Take off button each, and a form for adding another.

  1. See it first. The preview is the whole document, exactly as it is sent: the same builder makes the preview and the mail, so there is no second version to drift.
  2. Who receives it. Up to 20 addresses. They receive a document, not a login.
  3. Send it every month. Off unless you switch it on.

One report per month, ever. A report already sent for a month is never sent again, whatever happens to the schedule.

What has been sent records every month that goes out, including one that did not land.

Remove your branding puts ReDock’s own name and colours back on every client report. Your recipient lists and switches are not touched.

Nothing about one client ever appears on another client’s report.
