Account Details

The Account Details page is your go-to hub for understanding everything related to a specific account. Whether you're managing relationships, tracking activity, or updating ownership, this page gives you full visibility and control—all in one place. The Account Details page in MediaOS offers a comprehensive, real-time view of key information that empowers teams to manage client and prospect accounts with confidence and efficiency. The Account Details page is designed to keep your team aligned, informed, and empowered. By centralizing critical data and ownership tools, it reduces time spent digging through systems and increases your ability to take action quickly.

Accessing Account Details #

There are two ways you can access the Account Details page.

Option 1:

You can access the Account Details page in MediaOS through two simple methods. The first option is to navigate to the Accounts page using the left-hand navigation menu. Once the list of accounts loads, locate the account you’re working on and click View next to its name to open the full details.

Option 2:

Alternatively, you can use the Search bar located in the navigation panel. Type in the name of the account you're looking for, and once it appears in the results, click directly on the account name to open its detail page. Both methods provide quick access to the same information, so you can choose whichever fits best into your workflow.

Basic Information #

Primary Account Information #

At the very top of the Account Details page, you’ll find all the essential information associated with the account. This section includes the account name, the assigned account owner, and a brief description of the account. You’ll also see the account’s current pipeline status, along with its primary contact information and primary address.

In addition to these core details, the account summary displays important timestamps, such as the date of the last line item, the last signed contract, and the most recent activity. This overview gives you a quick snapshot of the account’s current status and recent engagement history.

Tagging Account #

Tags in MediaOS offer a quick and flexible way to organize your accounts and build targeted lists in just a few clicks. By tagging accounts with custom keywords or categories—such as geographic region, industry vertical, campaign type, or account tier—you can tailor your database to match your team's unique workflow and goals.

To add a tag, simply type your desired keyword into the tags field and press Return or Tab on your keyboard to create it. As you begin typing, MediaOS will suggest existing tags in a dropdown menu; selecting one of these will immediately apply the tag to the account. If you need to remove a tag, it must be deleted from all associated accounts in the system.

To manage your tags, click the List button next to the tags field to view a list of all tags currently in use, along with the number of accounts assigned to each. You can also search for tagged accounts by using the Has Tag filter in the Accounts Page search menu, allowing for easy segmentation and outreach.

Options #

The options dropdown allows you to merge two accounts together, transfer ownership of the account to another user, and create a new deal for the account. Please see the Creating Deals/Opportunities subtitle below for more information on deals.

Editing an Account #

General #

The Edit Window allows you to edit the account’s basic information, primary contact information, description, pipeline status, and parent account.

You may activate or deactivate the account by toggle the Active button on or off. Deactivated accounts do not appear in the Accounts page results by default but are still accessible via the navigation search, or through filtered searches on the Accounts page.

Transferring Account Ownership #

To transfer ownership of an account in MediaOS, begin by selecting the Account Owner dropdown menu on the account’s detail page. From there, choose the new owner you'd like to assign. Once selected, click the Save button to confirm the change. MediaOS will automatically log the transfer, preserving a record of ownership history for accountability and transparency. If you’re looking to reassign ownership for multiple accounts at once, there’s also a bulk transfer option available—click here for details on that process.

Parent Accounts #

Setting a Parent Account in MediaOS allows you to link two separate accounts, giving you shared access to contacts while keeping billing and account data distinct. This is especially useful when managing franchises or organizations with multiple branches. When building a proposal or contract, you’ll be able to assign contacts—such as Billing, Sold To, or Production—from both the Parent Account and the Sub Account, streamlining collaboration across related entities.

To set up a Parent Account, first navigate to the Accounts section from the left-hand menu. Begin by creating an account for the parent franchise. Then, create individual accounts for each franchise or agent that will fall under that parent. Once those are set, click into one of the sub-accounts and select Edit in the top right corner. In the edit panel, locate the Parent Account dropdown and begin typing the name of the parent account. Select it from the results, then click Save in the bottom-right corner. Once linked, MediaOS will recognize the relationship, allowing you to pull in contacts from the parent account when needed—without merging billing or account data.

Accounting #

In MediaOS, the Accounting section of an account includes several configurable fields that help you manage financial policies and controls tied to that account.

The Sales Lock feature allows you to prevent new contracts from being created for a specific account. This is useful when an account is on hold or under review. The Credit Limit field sets a threshold for how much the account can owe at any given time. When creating new proposals, MediaOS will calculate the combined total of all unpaid invoices and the proposed contract. If that sum exceeds the credit limit, the system will block the sale from proceeding. Lastly, the GL Account Code lets you assign a specific general ledger code to the account. This helps ensure consistent financial tracking and simplifies syncing with external accounting systems. These fields can be edited from the account’s Accounting tab and are essential for maintaining internal controls over client billing and sales activity.

Note: GL Account Code is only available to accounts using the integration with Quickbooks Online.

Setting up Automatic Accounting and Delivery CC Contacts #

If your clients require multiple people to be looped in on billing or ad approvals, MediaOS makes it easy to set up automatic CC emails for accounting and delivery contacts. This ensures that the right stakeholders receive invoices, ad proofs, or other time-sensitive communications—without any manual forwarding.

To begin, go to Accounts from the left-hand dashboard and open the account you’d like to update. Click Edit in the top-right corner of the account details panel. You’ll see three tabs across the top: General, Accounting, and Delivery.

From the General tab, click + Add New Email Address to add a primary contact. These contacts are considered the main points of communication for the account and will receive general updates and correspondence. After entering the email, click Save.

Next, switch to the Accounting tab. In the section labeled Add Emails, enter any additional addresses that should receive financial communications. These contacts will be automatically CC’d on invoices, payment reminders, and billing-related emails. Be sure to click Save after making changes.

Finally, head over to the Delivery tab and type in any additional emails in the same Add Emails section. These contacts will be included on all communications related to delivery logistics, such as ad proofs or production updates. Once added, click Save to finalize your updates.

This feature helps streamline communication and keeps everyone in the loop—whether it's for billing approvals, ad design feedback, or anything in between.

How to Add Automatic Email CC's to An Account Record

Advantages of Adding Multiple Accounting and Delivery Contacts #

Adding multiple accounting and delivery contacts to an account record can be crucial for several reasons. First, it ensures transparency and keeps all relevant parties in the loop regarding communications. By automatically CC'ing specific emails related to an account, stakeholders or team members can stay updated on important discussions or correspondence without manual intervention. This practice enhances collaboration and ensures that everyone involved has visibility into ongoing conversations or developments.

Also, having automated CC contacts helps maintain a documented trail of communication. It assists in record-keeping, which can be invaluable for reference, dispute resolution, or auditing purposes. Having a comprehensive history of emails and communications tied to an account aids in maintaining clarity, accountability, and a complete overview of interactions related to that account. So let's get into it!
