[Update] Virtual Assistant accounts!

You asked for it, we did it!
You can now create special accounts for your Virtual Assistants (or anyone. Your mom if you like!). Under the ‘User’ menu (top right) there should now be a ‘Manage Admins’ entry.
Be going in there you can invite other people to come and admin your ZonMaster account. You can set them to be an admin (same as the account owner’s privileges) or a Virtual Assistant.
A VA account has the following restrictions
- Can’t see the sales statistics summary on the dashboard
- Can’t see anything related to the blacklist
- Can’t create or edit ‘Amazon Stores’
We are unsure if you want other restrictions. Some of you mentioned limited the creating and editing of Email Templates, but, I also know some of you want your VA’s to do that. Perhaps we need another permission (Editor?).
Let us know! Now that the framework is in place, changing the permissions around should be easy enough.
[Beta] Review matching

ZonMaster can now match reviews to the customer that posted them, enabling you to see who is leaving emails based on what order. This should allow you to determine more effectively what email templates are generating positive responses.
This functionality works for US and UK stores!
For more info see the page about this here (login required).
If there is an order that, for whatever reason, you don’t want to send emails to, you can now go to that order and click a button that will disable the sending.
If you change your mind you can re-enable it.
Note, all the rules for sending still apply, so, if you disable it and the time to send out an email passes we will NOT go back and send missed (by time) emails, but will send new emails as the schedule dictates.
[Updates] Product Nickname
There’s a new field in the email templates: product nick name.
You can assign a product (or as we call them, item) a nick name by going to the details page on any item (eg https://www.zonmaster.com/items/xxxx). Underneath the thumbnail of the item will be a new field called ‘nickname’. If you click on the underlined part a little popup will appear where you can type in the name.
See the screen shots below for more.
