What’s New With CDA This Month?
Mobile Guided Workflow
The latest release of Mobile CDA Software includes the much-anticipated feature known as "Mobile Guided Workflow." What is the mobile guided workflow and what benefits will it bring to your company? Let's see.

Now when a technician is finishing up a Claim, they will be presented with three options, and that they must select one to continue processing the Claim. No matter which option is selected, that is selected that Claim will end up in the correct In-House Sub-Status (zero technician training needed). This is going to be a huge win for your company!

We recommend that both desktop and mobile employees watch the provided videos so they can learn all they need to know for quick implementation. We're confident everyone in your company will be up and running with this feature in less than an hour. Below is all you need to know to get started. Enjoy 😊

Digital Badge
As we continue to hear from Warranty companies, and 3rd Party Warranty companies, the chatter they all echo is the ability to send "their" customers a digital badge of the technician they can expect to show up at their doorsteps. 

CDA Software absolutely agrees that your customers should receive a digital company badge of the technician that is coming to their home to perform a repair. 

Enabling and implementing technician digital badges has never been so simple to deploy. It only takes about 1-2 minutes to deploy this feature. Let's take a look at all you need to know.


What you need to know
  • Pro & Enterprise customers only.
  • Enable Digital Badge at the company level.
  • Each Technician can be assigned to the usage of a digital badge or not. 
  • If a Technician does not have a picture in their employee profile a digital badge will not be sent.
  • Digital badges are automatically sent while in the Scheduling Dashboard.
  • The Digital Badge will provide
    • Technician's name
    • Scheduled date of repair
    • Company's Name
    • Company's phone number

Two-Factor Authentication
As companies become more and more concerned about the security of their data; many companies have decided to implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). 

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) can be used to help protect your account from unauthorized access by requiring an employee to enter an additional code when signing into the CDA Software Desktop application. 

The Two-Factor Authentication feature currently supports the use of a text message sent to a mobile device or an email address authentication method.

Once you’ve opted into Two-Factor Authentication, you will be asked to enter the code from your preferred two-factor authentication method, then you will be signed in to your account.  


What you need to know
  • Enterprise customers only.
  • Employees will need to enter a secondary code to access your data.
  • Implementation is for Desktop clients only. 
  • Secondary code is sent to mobile phone or email, or both.
  • Implementation takes about a minute.
  • There is no additional fee to use this service.
