Help & Resources in DataGrows

Don't struggle alone. Use the help tools available to you.

Written by Mariska

Learning a powerful system like DataGrows is much easier when you know where to find help. Whether you have a quick question, need step-by-step guidance, or want to speak to someone on the support team, DataGrows provides multiple support channels designed to help you find answers quickly.

Our recommendation is simple:

Don't struggle alone. Use the help tools available to you.

Most questions can be answered within minutes using the resources already built into the system.


Meet Geoff: Your 24/7 AI Assistant

The first place to look for help is Geoff, the DataGrows AI Assistant.

You'll find Geoff in the bottom-left corner of your screen.

Geoff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can assist with a wide range of questions about DataGrows.

Examples of Questions You Can Ask Geoff

  • What is the Group field used for on a client?

  • How do I switch on a service?

  • Why are my tasks not generating?

  • How do role assignments work?

  • Where can I find a specific report?

  • How do I use filters?

Simply type your question and Geoff will provide an answer.


Ask Follow-Up Questions

One of Geoff's biggest advantages is that the conversation can continue.

If the first answer isn't quite what you're looking for, simply ask another question.

For example:

Question 1:

What is the Group field used for?

Question 2:

Can you give me an example?

Question 3:

How is it different from Firm?

By asking follow-up questions, you can narrow down the information until you get exactly what you need.

Tip: The more specific your question, the more useful Geoff's response will be.


More Than Just Answers

Geoff can also help you access additional resources within DataGrows, including:

  • Training materials

  • Help articles

  • Webinars

  • Product updates

  • News and announcements

Think of Geoff as your first stop whenever you're unsure about something in the system.


Table-Specific Help

Every major table in DataGrows includes built-in help documentation.

You'll find this through:

The Help Menu

Available at the top of the table.

This provides guidance specifically related to the table you're currently working in.

For example:

If you're in the:

  • Clients Table

  • Accounting Tasks

  • Payroll Tasks

  • Tax Tasks

  • Reports Table

The Help content will be relevant to that area of the system.

This makes it much easier to find answers without having to search through unrelated documentation.


Context-Sensitive Learning

One of the strengths of DataGrows' help system is that it is contextual.

Instead of searching through a large manual, you can often access guidance directly from the screen you're working on.

This allows you to:

✅ Learn while working
✅ Solve problems faster
✅ Understand specific processes
✅ Reduce interruptions to your workflow
