2. How do we add our company's logo to our Deskaway account?
You can replace the DeskAway logo on the top left corner of the system, by uploading your own company logo from the Settings tab. The logo file should be 250px X 100px and in GIF format. Free plan users cannot upload their company logo.

3. What are categories and why should we create them?
Categories are ways of organizing or labelling your data. You can categorize your projects, blogs and also categorize your team into departments.

4. If I sign up for a paid plan, where does my logo get displayed on my DeskAway site?
Your logo will be displayed in 2 places:
a. the login screen
b. top left corner of every page

Basically, the current DeskAway logo will be swapped with the logo you upload.

5. Can anyone create categories?
No. Only Super Users are allowed to create categories.

6. How do we disable a team member?
There are 2 ways to do this:
  • If you only want to disable a team member from a project, then go to the Project and then click on the Team link. Here, you can click on the 'green' button to disable the person. The button should turn 'red'. This person will not have access to this project anymore.

  • If you want to disable a person from the entire DeskAway system, then go to the Settings tab and click on the 'green' button next to the person's name. When it turns red, this person will not be allowed to login to the DeskAway account.
7. We have maxed out our current plan. What should we do?
If you have used up all your projects or files for the current plan and wish to upgrade, goto the Settings tab and click on "Account Information". Here, you will find instructions to upgrade and pay online. Only Account Owners can access this. Learn More.

8. What permissions are allowed for a file / document?
A file/doc can have the folllowing permissions:
  • Private: only you can access
  • Public: everyone on the project can access (even if a new person joins the team)
  • Shared: I can choose to share the file with only a few people
9. Can we turn off email notifications?
Yes. You can turn off email notifications for tasks from your settings tab.

10. Can I change my company and domain name once I signup?
No, not at the moment. You will have to email support@deskaway.com to do this. Please email your account name and the email address you signed up with.

11. Who is an Account Owner?
By default, the person who created the DeskAway account is the Account Owner (and a Super User). The Account Owner can give up the ownership to someone else in the team. This person should be someone with authority to upgrade the account and request a full backup.
