MUMBOE Updates

Customer Spotlight: Fall Creek Farm and Nursery, Inc.

Fall Creek Farm & Nursery® is the leading blueberry nursery stock producer in the world. Located in the fertile Willamette Valley of Western Oregon, they have been serving the blueberry plant needs of commercial fruit growers, nursery stock growers and garden centers throughout the world since 1978.

We asked the folks at Fall Creek to tell us why they chose Mumboe to solve their contract management challenges.

What was the main business challenge you were facing before Mumboe? Before deploying Mumboe, Fall Creek staff was spending time as librarians—looking up key dates or contract clauses every time there was an issue. Sorting and reviewing groups of contracts was difficult too.
What did Mumboe do to make your life easier? Mumboe’s Auto Extract took away some of the initial data-entry fear and got staff working on creating a workable resource for multiple departments. It freed up time spent searching and allowed for custom reports for specific user groups.
What part of Mumboe has brought the most value? The initial startup help was invaluable for our adoption of Mumboe. Fall Creek has spent thousands more on other software solutions and has never seen the level of service and responsiveness that it receives from Mumboe.
How has your business process improved? Mumboe has taken a 40-hour a week job of managing contract data and reports and freed us up to focus on growing and selling. Mumboe lets us sleep at night knowing that we won’t miss a deadline.

Mumboe Now Approved Vendor with Texas DIR

Mumboe has been listed as an approved vendor with the Texas Department of Information Resources. DIR provides statewide leadership and oversight for management of government information and communications technology. The mission of the DIR is to transform the delivery of technology to state agencies so they can better serve the citizens of Texas. Now state of Texas agencies can acquire Mumboe through an approved contract with a 15% discount. So it’s easier than ever for state and local governments and K-12 public and higher education systems to take control of their document repositories.

Mumboe Upgrades: User Groups

Our latest upgrade introduces User Groups. If you have a large number of users, this should make management much easier.

The User Groups feature allows an account administrator to manage permissions at a group level rather than for each individual. To manage your groups go to the Groups page (you will find the link under Settings on the Admin page).

All accounts have a group called All Users which cannot be deleted and all users automatically belong to this group. Here you can create / rename / delete groups in the left pane. The right pane displays which users are members of the selected group.

On the Folders management screen you can now manage the permissions for your User Groups. The groups are listed at the top of the right pane and are differentiated from the normal users by a multi-person icon. By default the All Users group will have all permissions in new accounts (not true for existing accounts), but you can easily disable the permissions for this group and use your own groups to manage the permissions.

And if you decide groups are not for you…you can still manage permissions individually.

New Admin Page Layout

As part of an initiative to make our Admin tools more simple, we have rolled out a new page layout.

The page is organized in two columns. The left-side has links for all of your account configuration settings and the right-side displays information about your current usage and product plan. You will notice that some of the configuration links have a “+” to the right. For instance the + next to Users is a shortcut to create a new user.

Mumboe Upgrades: New Folder Permissions UI

Our latest upgrade includes improvements to our folder permissions. Previously, an Admin user would need to adjust permissions for each user individually. Now, an Admin can use the Folders management screen (in the Admin section) to manage folders as well as user permissions.

You will also notice that the permissions are listed across the screen horizontally rather than vertically to make it easier to see across all users.

In addition, we eliminated the “Share permissions with sub-folders?” option. Users found it difficult to use so we switched to an easier “save to sub-folders” option.

Effective Contract Management

Macy Shubak wrote a very useful article about effective contract management in the AlphaTech Counsel Blog. She shares a lot of great perspective on what to look for when developing requirements, finding a solution, and developing a successful program.

Mumboe Upgrades: New Party Display

We’re excited to announce our latest release and feature upgrades designed to save you time and simplify the user experience. The full list of changes can be viewed on our Support site in the Customer Forums. One of the biggest changes is the display and interaction with the Parties field.

The display takes up less space on the Summary page and there is now an optional Note box where you can label the parties. You can see more contact information by simply hovering your cursor over the name of the Party. This improvement is the result of customer feedback. Previously you could not see all of the contact information, only the address.

Also, you will notice when adding a new Party rather than a drop-down of all contacts we give you a text box. You can simply start typing and we’ll attempt to match with an existing contact. If the contact you are entering doesn’t exist yet you’ll have the option to add the contact plus information.
