Personalize Your Experience: Customizing Preferences

Your workspace should work for you, not the other way around. Customization options allow you to tailor everything from background colors to notifications and whiteboard tools, helping you stay organized and productive.

To start personalizing your workspace, you’ll need to access the Preference Settings in your account. Here’s how:

  1. Click on your Profile Icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
  2. Select My Preferences from the dropdown menu.

These settings let you create an experience that fits your unique work style. Now that you know how to access the settings, let us guide you step by step how you can use each customization option.

How It Works: Adjusting Preferences

Preferences are typically grouped into three main categories: General, Notifications, and Whiteboard. Each section provides straightforward options designed to enhance your workflow and optimize your experience.

Here’s a closer look at how these settings work:

General Settings: Make Your Workspace Yours

  1. Background Color:● Choose a background color that’s easy on your eyes and suits your style
    ● Pick from a variety of options to make your workspace visually appealing.
  2. Use Tags for Task Boards● Enable this feature to automatically include tags on new task boards and templates you create.
    ● Helps you stay organized and categorize tasks effortlessly.

The Benefits:

Customizing the visual aspects of your workspace makes it feel more intuitive and less cluttered, helping you stay focused.

Notifications: Stay in the Loop Without Overloading

  1. Chat Notifications● Get emails when there’s board-level chat or when someone chats on a task you’re involved in.
  2. Activity Updates for Admins● Receive notifications when new tasks are added, completed, or reassigned on boards you administer.
  3. Daily Task Reminders● Opt for a daily email summary sent at 6 AM, showing overdue tasks and those due this week or next.
    ● Group tasks by date or board for easy tracking.

The Benefits:

With flexible notifications, you can stay informed about what matters most without getting bombarded by unnecessary updates.

Whiteboard Settings: Streamline Your Creative Process

  1. Lines and Shapes● Set default line styles, thickness, and colors to create clean, consistent visuals.
  2. Text on Canvases● Choose your preferred font style, size, and color for a polished look.
  3. Grid Options● Enable snapping to grid and set the grid size to keep your designs aligned and professional.

The Benefits:

These settings make whiteboards perfect for brainstorming, planning, or designing, ensuring your work looks great and stays organized.

Wrap Up

Whether it’s adjusting visual elements, tailoring notifications, or streamlining creative tools, these options are designed to enhance your productivity and keep your work environment organized. Taking a few moments to personalize your settings can lead to a more efficient and enjoyable experience every day.

Perubahan pada Harga Kami

Harga lama kami tidak berubah selama lebih dari 10 tahun, dan tidak lagi mencerminkan nilai produk kami, mahupun hakikat bahawa kini kami mempunyai lebih ramai pengguna di luar Amerika Syarikat berbanding di dalam.

Oleh itu, sudah tiba masanya untuk kami mengemas kini model harga kami secara menyeluruh! Dalam catatan blog ini, kami akan merangkum semua perubahan, dan dalam bahagian di bawah, anda akan menemui pautan ke catatan blog dan halaman laman web lain yang membincangkan setiap perkara dengan lebih terperinci:

Harga lebih rendah untuk kebanyakan negara

Selama 10 tahun yang lalu, kami hanya mempunyai satu harga: $7 bagi setiap Ahli Pasukan Akaun, dibayar setiap tahun. Walaupun harga ini agak rendah bagi pasaran Amerika Syarikat, ia menjadi cabaran bagi pengguna dari negara dengan ekonomi yang kurang berkembang dan kuasa beli yang lebih rendah.

Kami kini menjadikan Kerika lebih berpatutan bagi pengguna di luar Amerika Syarikat: harga baharu untuk Pelan Profesional bagi pelanggan di AS adalah $9 setiap pengguna sebulan, atau $90 setiap tahun, tetapi pelanggan dari hampir semua negara lain boleh melanggan pada kadar yang lebih rendah. Ini bermakna pelanggan dari negara dengan ekonomi yang lebih kecil boleh membeli langganan Kerika yang sama seperti pelanggan dari negara yang lebih kaya, tetapi dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah.

Perubahan ini akan dapat dilihat apabila anda mengunjungi halaman harga di laman web Kerika, serta dalam aplikasi Kerika. Harga yang dipaparkan akan merupakan jumlah selepas diskaun, dan ia akan dipaparkan dalam mata wang tempatan anda. Sebagai contoh, pengguna dari Malaysia akan melihat Pelan Profesional berharga RM 20 sebulan / RM 200 setahun.

(Pelan Perniagaan untuk pelanggan di Korea Selatan akan berharga RM 30 sebulan / RM 300 setahun.)

Bayar dalam mata wang anda sendiri

Selain harga yang lebih rendah di luar Amerika Syarikat, kami juga membolehkan pelanggan kami membayar dalam pelbagai mata wang — sebanyak 135 mata wang semuanya.

Ini akan memudahkan orang di negara yang berbeza, yang mungkin menghadapi kesukaran untuk membuat pembelian dalam Dolar AS, untuk membeli langganan Kerika.

Baca lebih lanjut mengenai mata wang.

Langganan Bulanan atau Tahunan

Pengguna yang baru dalam mana-mana perkhidmatan dalam talian mungkin ragu-ragu untuk membeli langganan tahunan sebelum mereka benar-benar biasa dengan perkhidmatan tersebut. Pilihan semula jadi bagi pelanggan baharu ialah membuat komitmen kewangan yang lebih kecil pada awalnya, dengan membeli langganan bulanan. Kami telah memudahkan perkara ini.

Kini, anda boleh membeli Langganan Bulanan atau Tahunan (tetapi tidak boleh mencampurkan kedua-duanya).

Langganan tahunan berharga 10 kali ganda kadar bulanan, jadi jika anda bercadang untuk menggunakan Kerika lebih daripada 10 bulan, adalah lebih jimat untuk mendapatkan langganan tahunan.

Namun, jika anda pelanggan baharu dan masih ragu-ragu untuk membuat komitmen kepada Kerika, kini anda mempunyai cara yang lebih mudah untuk terus menggunakan Kerika selepas Percubaan Percuma 30 hari anda tamat: hanya beli langganan bulanan untuk beberapa bulan, dan kemudian beralih kepada langganan tahunan untuk penjimatan kos setelah anda yakin dengan manfaat Kerika bagi produktiviti pasukan anda.

Jaminan Wang Dikembalikan 30 Hari

Dan untuk memudahkan lagi pelanggan baharu membeli Langganan Tahunan dengan yakin, kami kini menawarkan Jaminan Wang Dikembalikan 30 Hari yang sangat mudah!

Jika anda menukar fikiran dalam masa 30 hari selepas membeli Langganan Tahunan, atas sebarang sebab, anda boleh meminta bayaran balik penuh dalam bentuk tunai.

Kini anda tidak perlu risau sama ada anda membuat keputusan yang salah apabila mengklik butang Beli!

Baca lebih lanjut mengenai Jaminan Wang Dikembalikan 30 Hari kami.

Bayaran Balik Lain hanya dalam bentuk Kredit Kerika

Sistem lama kami untuk mengira dan menguruskan bayaran balik adalah sangat rumit: ia mencipta kesulitan dalam sistem bil kami, dan kesulitan itu seterusnya menyebabkan pelbagai masalah yang menjejaskan pelanggan dan kami sendiri.

Kami kini beralih kepada sistem yang lebih mudah: jika anda membatalkan langganan, anda akan menerima kredit pro rata dalam akaun Kerika anda, yang boleh digunakan untuk pembelian pada masa hadapan. Kredit ini tidak akan luput dan tidak boleh ditebus dalam bentuk tunai: ia hanya boleh digunakan untuk pembelian akan datang.

Baca lebih lanjut mengenai Dasar Bayaran Balik kami.

Diskaun Akademik & Badan Bukan Keuntungan

Pelan Akademik & Badan Bukan Keuntungan yang lama membenarkan Pasukan Akaun sehingga 10 orang menggunakan Kerika secara percuma. Walau bagaimanapun, ia sukar untuk dikendalikan, sering disalahgunakan, dan tidak dapat membantu semua sekolah, universiti, dan organisasi bukan keuntungan.

Pelan Akademik & Badan Bukan Keuntungan kini akan berfungsi sebagai diskaun mudah sebanyak 50%: jika anda layak, anda boleh membeli mana-mana pelan pada separuh harga, dan tidak akan ada lagi had bagi saiz Pasukan Akaun anda. Pelan baharu ini memudahkan organisasi yang lebih besar untuk menggunakan Kerika di seluruh organisasi mereka.

Baca lebih lanjut mengenai Diskaun Badan Bukan Keuntungan.

Kebanyakan Pembelian Perlu Dilakukan Secara Dalam Talian

Kami sebelum ini menawarkan pilihan untuk meminta invois yang boleh dibayar menggunakan cek bank atau pemindahan terus, tetapi malangnya, pilihan ini sering disalahgunakan oleh sebilangan pengguna yang meminta invois tetapi tidak membayarnya, serta mengabaikan e-mel peringatan kami!

Dengan sistem baharu kami, pilihan untuk membuat pembelian luar talian (iaitu, meminta invois) hanya tersedia kepada pelanggan tertentu. Beberapa pelanggan lama kami telah menggunakan kaedah luar talian selama bertahun-tahun kerana itu satu-satunya cara mereka boleh membuat pembelian — situasi biasa bagi mereka yang bekerja dalam sektor kerajaan atau syarikat besar yang memerlukan invois diproses melalui jabatan Akaun Belum Bayar mereka.

Bagi pelanggan lama ini, kaedah luar talian akan terus tersedia, tetapi akan dikuatkuasakan dengan lebih ketat: jika invois tidak dibayar tepat pada masanya, langganan yang berkaitan akan dibatalkan.

Jika anda pelanggan baharu yang memerlukan kaedah luar talian, sila hubungi kami!

Lebih Mudah Menggantikan Pengguna dalam Akaun

Dengan sistem harga baharu, pelanggan kami kini boleh menggantikan satu pengguna dengan pengguna lain tanpa dikenakan caj tambahan, selagi penyingkiran pengguna lama dan penambahan pengguna baharu dilakukan pada hari yang sama.

Jika seorang pengguna dikeluarkan daripada Pasukan Akaun dan pengguna lain ditambah pada hari yang sama, sistem tidak akan menjana sebarang transaksi bil.

Lebih Banyak Butiran dalam Sejarah Bil Anda

Skrin Sejarah Bil, yang boleh diakses dengan mengklik pilihan Urus Akaun dalam menu yang muncul apabila anda mengklik avatar anda di bahagian atas kanan aplikasi desktop, kini akan mengandungi lebih banyak maklumat mengenai perubahan yang dibuat, seperti menghidupkan/mematikan auto-pembaharuan, menambah pengguna, dan sebagainya.

Ini akan membantu pelanggan memahami dengan lebih baik bagaimana bil mereka berubah dari semasa ke semasa.

Peralihan yang Lancar

Jika anda sudah menjadi pelanggan Kerika, pelan anda akan diteruskan seperti biasa sehingga tamat tempohnya.

Sebarang Soalan atau Kebimbangan?

Kami faham bahawa perubahan harga boleh menyebabkan kebimbangan bagi sesetengah pengguna. Kami sedia membantu menjawab pertanyaan anda dan mendengar maklum balas anda. Hubungi kami!

Mga Pagbabago sa Aming Presyo

Ang lumang sistema ng pagpepresyo namin ay hindi nagbago sa loob ng mahigit 10 taon, at hindi na ito sumasalamin sa tunay na halaga ng aming produkto — lalo na ngayon na mas marami na kaming mga gumagamit mula sa labas ng Estados Unidos kaysa sa loob nito.

Kaya’t panahon na upang i-update namin ang aming modelo ng pagpepresyo sa lahat ng aspeto! Sa blog post na ito, buod ang lahat ng mga pagbabago, at sa mga seksyon sa ibaba ay makikita mo ang mga link patungo sa iba pang blog posts at mga pahina ng aming website na tatalakay ng bawat detalye:

Mas Mababang Presyo para sa Karamihan ng mga Bansa

Sa loob ng nakaraang 10 taon, iisa lang ang presyo: $7 bawat miyembro ng Account Team, binabayaran taun-taon. Bagama’t mababa ito para sa merkado ng US, naging hadlang ito para sa mga bansa na may hindi gaanong maunlad na ekonomiya at mababang purchasing power.

Ginagawa naming mas abot-kaya ang Kerika para sa mga gumagamit sa labas ng Estados Unidos: habang ang bagong presyo ng Professional Plan para sa US-based na customers ay $9 kada buwan o $90 taun-taon, makakabili ang mga customer mula sa halos lahat ng ibang bansa ng subscription sa mas mababang halaga.

Makikita ito kapag binisita mo ang Pricing Page ng Kerika o tiningnan mo ang mga available na plano sa loob ng app. Ipapakita ang presyo sa lokal mong pera. Halimbawa, para sa mga gumagamit sa Pilipinas, makikita nila ang Professional Plan sa halagang ₱200 / buwan o ₱2,000 taun-taon.

(Para naman sa Business Plan, ang presyo ay ₱300 / buwan o ₱3,000 taun-taon.)

Magbayad Gamit ang Iyong Sariling Pera

Kasabay ng mas murang presyo sa labas ng US, pinapagana na rin namin ang pagbabayad gamit ang 135 na iba’t ibang uri ng pera.

Mas madali na ngayon para sa mga nasa ibang bansa na hindi makabili gamit ang US Dollars ang mag-subscribe sa Kerika.

👉 Basahin pa tungkol sa mga sinusuportahang currency.

Buwanang o Taunang Subscription

Maaaring magdalawang-isip ang mga bagong user na agad bumili ng taunang subscription kung hindi pa sila pamilyar sa serbisyo. Mas natural na magsimula muna sa mas maliit na commitment gamit ang buwanang subscription — at pinapadali na namin ito ngayon!

Pwede ka nang pumili sa pagitan ng buwanan o taunan (hindi pinaghalong dalawa).

Ang taunang subscription ay 10x ng buwanang presyo, kaya kung balak mong gamitin ang Kerika nang higit sa 10 buwan, mas makakatipid ka kung taunang plano ang pipiliin.

Pero kung bago ka pa lang sa Kerika at hindi pa sigurado, madali ka nang makakapagpatuloy pagkatapos ng 30-araw na Libreng Pagsubok: magsimula sa buwanang subscription, tapos lumipat sa taunang plano kapag kumbinsido ka na sa mga benepisyo ng Kerika para sa produktibidad ng iyong team.

30-Araw na Garantiyang Ibalik ang Bayad

Para mas mapagaan ang loob ng mga bagong user, nag-aalok na kami ngayon ng napakasimpleng 30-araw na Money Back Guarantee!

Kung magbago ang isip mo sa loob ng 30 araw matapos bumili ng taunang subscription, kahit anong dahilan, pwede kang humiling ng buong refund.

Wala nang alalahanin kung tama ba ang pagbili mo — subukan mo lang!

👉 Basahin pa ang tungkol sa aming 30-araw na Money Back Guarantee.

Ibang Refund bilang Kerika Credit lamang

Ang dati naming refund system ay napakakumplikado: naging sanhi ito ng bugs at problema sa billing.

Ngayon, mas simple na: kapag nag-cancel ka ng subscription, makakakuha ka ng pro-rata na credit sa iyong Kerika account para sa mga susunod na pagbili. Ang credits ay hindi mawawala at hindi maaaring i-convert sa cash — para lang ito sa future purchases.

👉 Basahin pa ang tungkol sa aming Refund Policy.

Diskwento para sa Akademiko at Nonprofit

Dati, pinapayagan namin ang Account Teams ng hanggang 10 katao na gumamit ng Kerika nang libre, pero mahirap itong i-manage at madalas ay naaabuso.

Ngayon, ang bagong plano ay isang diretsong 50% na diskwento: kung kwalipikado ka, maaari mong bilhin ang anumang plano sa kalahating presyo, kahit gaano kalaki ang iyong team. Mas madali na para sa buong paaralan o organisasyon na gumamit ng Kerika.

👉 Basahin pa ang tungkol sa Nonprofit Discount.

Karamihan ng Pagbili ay Kailangang Online

Dati, pwede kang humiling ng invoice at magbayad sa pamamagitan ng bank cheque o direct deposit. Ngunit maraming user ang nagsamantala sa opsyong ito — humihiling ng invoice pero hindi nagbabayad.

Ngayon, ang offline na pagbili (i.e. invoice request) ay para na lang sa piling customer, lalo na yung mga matagal nang gumagamit ng offline method (hal. gobyerno o malalaking kumpanya).

Para sa kanila, mananatili ito pero ipapatupad nang mahigpit: kapag hindi bayad ang invoice sa takdang panahon, ika-cancel ang subscription.

Kung bago ka at kailangan mong gumamit ng offline method, 👉 makipag-ugnayan sa amin.

Mas Madaling Palitan ang User sa Account

Sa bagong pricing system, madali mo nang mapalitan ang isang user ng isa pa nang walang dagdag na bayad, basta sa parehong araw ito ginawa.

Kung ang isang user ay inalis at pinalitan sa parehong araw, walang mabubuong bagong singil.

Mas Detalyadong Billing History

Sa Billing History screen (makikita sa Manage Account mula sa menu sa kanang itaas), makikita mo na ngayon ang mas detalyadong impormasyon tulad ng pagbabago sa auto-renewal, pagdagdag ng user, atbp.

Mas malinaw mo nang mauunawaan kung paano nagbabago ang billing mo sa paglipas ng panahon.

Maayos na Paglipat

Ito ang pinakamahalaga: kung kasalukuyan kang customer ng Kerika, mananatili ang iyong kasalukuyang plano hanggang sa matapos ang term nito.

Kung binili mo noon sa $84/user at ang bagong presyo sa iyong rehiyon ay ₱2,400, hindi ka kailangang magbayad muli ngayon — sa susunod mong renewal pa ito magiging epektibo.

Ganoon din para sa lumang Academic & Nonprofit Plan — itutuloy ito hanggang matapos ang term, at pagkatapos ay pwede kang lumipat sa bagong Professional o Business Plan na may automatic Nonprofit Discount.

May mga Tanong o Alalahanin?

Alam naming ang mga pagbabago sa presyo ay maaaring makaapekto sa ilan, kahit gaano pa ito pinag-isipan. Masaya kaming sagutin ang iyong mga tanong at pakinggan ang iyong mga saloobin.

👉 Makipag-ugnayan sa amin.

Thay đổi trong Chính Sách Giá của Chúng Tôi

Giá cũ của chúng tôi đã không thay đổi trong hơn 10 năm và không còn phản ánh đúng giá trị của sản phẩm, cũng như thực tế rằng hiện tại chúng tôi có nhiều người dùng ngoài Hoa Kỳ hơn là trong nước.

Vì vậy, đã đến lúc chúng tôi cập nhật mô hình định giá của mình một cách toàn diện! Trong bài viết này, chúng tôi sẽ tóm tắt tất cả các thay đổi, và ở các phần bên dưới bạn sẽ tìm thấy liên kết đến các bài blog khác và các trang trên website trình bày chi tiết hơn từng nội dung:

Giá thấp hơn cho hầu hết các quốc gia

Trong 10 năm qua, chúng tôi chỉ có một mức giá: $7 cho mỗi thành viên trong nhóm tài khoản, thanh toán hàng năm. Mức giá này tương đối thấp so với thị trường Hoa Kỳ, nhưng lại gây khó khăn cho người dùng ở các quốc gia có nền kinh tế kém phát triển và sức mua thấp hơn.

Chúng tôi đang làm cho Kerika trở nên phải chăng hơn cho người dùng ngoài Hoa Kỳ: trong khi mức giá mới cho Gói Chuyên Nghiệp cho khách hàng ở Hoa Kỳ là $9 mỗi người mỗi tháng, hoặc $90 mỗi năm, thì khách hàng từ gần như mọi quốc gia khác đều có thể mua với mức giá thấp hơn. Điều này có nghĩa là người dùng ở các nền kinh tế nhỏ có thể đăng ký Kerika với mức giá ưu đãi hơn rất nhiều so với các nước giàu.

Bạn sẽ thấy điều này khi truy cập trang định giá của website Kerika hoặc khi xem các gói trong ứng dụng Kerika. Mức giá hiển thị sẽ là mức giá đã giảm, và sẽ hiển thị bằng đơn vị tiền tệ địa phương của bạn. Ví dụ, người dùng tại Việt Nam sẽ thấy Gói Chuyên Nghiệp có giá ₫13.400 mỗi tháng / ₫134.000 mỗi năm.

(Gói Doanh Nghiệp dành cho khách hàng Việt Nam sẽ có giá ₫194.200 mỗi tháng / ₫1.942.000 mỗi năm.)

Thanh toán bằng đồng tiền của bạn

Bên cạnh mức giá thấp hơn, chúng tôi còn cho phép khách hàng thanh toán bằng nhiều loại tiền tệ khác nhau — tổng cộng là 135 loại tiền.

Điều này giúp người dùng ở nhiều quốc gia dễ dàng hơn trong việc thanh toán, đặc biệt nếu họ gặp khó khăn khi thanh toán bằng Đô la Mỹ.

Tìm hiểu thêm về các loại tiền tệ được hỗ trợ.

Gói thuê bao theo tháng hoặc theo năm

Người dùng mới thường do dự khi đăng ký gói theo năm trước khi hiểu rõ dịch vụ. Họ có xu hướng chọn các gói thanh toán theo tháng để giảm rủi ro về tài chính. Chúng tôi giúp bạn dễ dàng làm điều này.

Giờ đây bạn có thể chọn mua gói theo tháng hoặc theo năm (không thể kết hợp cả hai).

Gói theo năm sẽ có giá bằng 10 lần gói theo tháng. Vì vậy, nếu bạn có kế hoạch sử dụng Kerika hơn 10 tháng thì mua gói năm sẽ tiết kiệm hơn.

Nhưng nếu bạn là người dùng mới và còn phân vân, bạn hoàn toàn có thể tiếp tục dùng Kerika sau khi hết thời gian Dùng Thử Miễn Phí 30 ngày bằng cách đăng ký thuê bao theo tháng trong vài tháng đầu, sau đó chuyển sang gói năm để tiết kiệm chi phí.

Cam kết hoàn tiền trong 30 ngày

Để giúp người dùng mới yên tâm hơn khi mua gói năm, chúng tôi hiện đang cung cấp Chính sách Hoàn Tiền 30 Ngày rất đơn giản!

Nếu bạn đổi ý trong vòng 30 ngày kể từ ngày mua gói thuê bao năm, vì bất kỳ lý do gì, bạn có thể yêu cầu hoàn lại toàn bộ số tiền đã thanh toán.

Bạn không còn phải lo lắng mình có mắc sai lầm khi bấm nút Mua hay không nữa!

Tìm hiểu thêm về Chính sách Hoàn Tiền 30 Ngày của chúng tôi.

Các khoản hoàn tiền khác sẽ được cấp dưới dạng Tín dụng Kerika

Hệ thống hoàn tiền cũ của chúng tôi thực sự là một nỗi đau: nó khiến hệ thống thanh toán trở nên phức tạp và gây ra nhiều lỗi ảnh hưởng đến cả khách hàng và chúng tôi.

Giờ đây, chúng tôi áp dụng hệ thống đơn giản hơn: nếu bạn hủy gói thuê bao, bạn sẽ được cấp tín dụng theo tỷ lệ trong tài khoản Kerika của mình để dùng cho các giao dịch sau này. Tín dụng này không có thời hạn sử dụng và không thể đổi thành tiền mặt — chỉ có thể dùng để mua hàng trong tương lai.

Xem thêm về Chính sách Hoàn Tiền của chúng tôi.

Giảm giá cho tổ chức học thuật và phi lợi nhuận

Trước đây, gói dành cho học thuật & tổ chức phi lợi nhuận cho phép các nhóm lên đến 10 người sử dụng Kerika miễn phí. Tuy nhiên, điều này khó quản lý, dễ bị lạm dụng và không giúp ích cho mọi trường học hay tổ chức.

Giờ đây, chương trình này sẽ được chuyển thành giảm giá 50% đơn giản: nếu bạn đủ điều kiện, bạn có thể mua bất kỳ gói nào với giá chỉ bằng một nửa. Không còn giới hạn số lượng thành viên trong nhóm tài khoản.

Tìm hiểu thêm về Giảm giá cho tổ chức phi lợi nhuận.

Phần lớn các giao dịch sẽ phải được thực hiện trực tuyến

Trước đây chúng tôi cho phép yêu cầu hóa đơn để thanh toán bằng séc ngân hàng hoặc chuyển khoản, nhưng phương thức này đã bị nhiều người dùng lợi dụng — họ yêu cầu hóa đơn nhưng không thanh toán và cũng phớt lờ các email nhắc nhở!

Với hệ thống mới, phương thức thanh toán ngoại tuyến (tức là yêu cầu hóa đơn) chỉ áp dụng cho một số khách hàng đặc biệt. Một số khách hàng lâu năm đã dùng phương thức này trong nhiều năm do yêu cầu từ tổ chức (ví dụ như cơ quan chính phủ hoặc tập đoàn lớn yêu cầu xử lý qua phòng Kế Toán).

Đối với những khách hàng này, phương thức ngoại tuyến vẫn được duy trì, nhưng sẽ bị giám sát chặt chẽ: nếu hóa đơn không được thanh toán đúng hạn, thuê bao sẽ bị hủy.

Nếu bạn là khách hàng mới cần dùng phương thức ngoại tuyến, hãy liên hệ với chúng tôi!

Dễ dàng thay thế người dùng trong tài khoản

Với hệ thống giá mới, khách hàng có thể thay thế một người dùng bằng người khác trong cùng một ngày mà không phát sinh thêm chi phí, miễn là việc thay thế diễn ra trong cùng ngày.

Nếu một người dùng bị xóa khỏi nhóm và một người khác được thêm vào trong cùng một ngày, hệ thống sẽ không tạo ra giao dịch thanh toán nào.

Thông tin chi tiết hơn trong Lịch Sử Thanh Toán

Màn hình Lịch Sử Thanh Toán (Billing History), có thể truy cập bằng cách nhấp vào Quản lý Tài Khoản trong menu khi bạn bấm vào ảnh đại diện ở góc phải trên cùng của ứng dụng máy tính để bàn, giờ đây sẽ hiển thị nhiều thông tin hơn về các thay đổi như bật/tắt tự động gia hạn, thêm người dùng, v.v.

Điều này sẽ giúp bạn hiểu rõ hơn về quá trình thanh toán của mình theo thời gian.

Chuyển đổi mượt mà

Đây có lẽ là phần quan trọng nhất: nếu bạn đã là khách hàng của Kerika với bất kỳ gói nào, gói hiện tại sẽ tiếp tục có hiệu lực cho đến khi hết thời hạn.

Nếu bạn đã mua với giá $84/người mỗi năm, và giá hiện tại cho khu vực của bạn là ₫134.000 mỗi năm, bạn không cần thanh toán thêm gì ngay bây giờ. Khi hết hạn, mức giá mới sẽ được áp dụng.

Tương tự, nếu bạn đang sử dụng gói học thuật & phi lợi nhuận cũ, gói này sẽ tiếp tục cho đến khi hết thời hạn. Khi đó bạn sẽ cần mua Gói Chuyên Nghiệp hoặc Gói Doanh Nghiệp, nhưng bạn sẽ tự động đủ điều kiện nhận Giảm Giá Phi Lợi Nhuận.

Có câu hỏi hoặc lo lắng?

Chúng tôi hiểu rằng việc thay đổi giá cả có thể khiến một số người dùng lo lắng, dù chúng tôi đã nỗ lực thiết kế mô hình mới một cách cẩn thận. Chúng tôi rất sẵn lòng giải đáp mọi thắc mắc và lắng nghe ý kiến của bạn.

Find Tasks Faster Using Tags

Working across multiple tasks and projects can make it challenging to focus on specific types of work, like design or research tasks, without scanning through the entire project board. This process can be time-consuming and may even lead to missed deadlines.

Tags provide a simple solution. By marking tasks with clear, customizable labels, you can quickly filter and highlight exactly what you need to focus on. With just a few clicks, tags help bring order to even the busiest boards.

So What Are Tags?

Preview of using tagsScreenshot illustrating how easily tags can be applied to tasks in Kerika for better organization. The image shows a task card ('Design User Interface') where clicking the '3 TAGS' button opens the 'SET TAGS' pop-up. This pop-up displays a list of customizable tags (like 'analysis', 'collaboration', 'planning') with checkboxes, allowing users to visually categorize work effortlessly. This feature enhances workflow flexibility by letting teams tailor organization methods to their specific needs, improving clarity and collaboration.

Tags act as visual markers that can be added to tasks. They let you categorize work based on topics, teams, priorities, or anything that suits your workflow. And the best part? They’re completely customizable.

Essential Steps For Executing a Successful Audit Program

A successful audit program doesn’t just happen; it’s built on a foundation of strategic planning, meticulous execution, and continuous evaluation. Here’s a detailed roadmap to guide you through the key steps:

1. Define the Scope and Objectives

Start by outlining the purpose of your audit. What do you aim to achieve? Whether it’s ensuring compliance with regulations, identifying process inefficiencies, or validating financial accuracy, having clear objectives sets the tone for the entire program. Identify the departments, processes, or systems to be audited.

Define success metrics and establish key performance indicators (KPIs). Click here to read about the top metrics you should look out for according to Audiboard.com Communicate objectives to stakeholders to align expectations.

Watch out for:

  • Unclear objectives that can lead to wasted time and incomplete or irrelevant findings.
  • Lack of clear success metrics and KPIs.

2. Assemble the Right Team

A competent and collaborative audit team is essential to delivering accurate and actionable results. Assign roles and responsibilities, ensuring each team member has the skills needed for their tasks. You can learn more about the key responsibilities of audit team members from Validworth in this article. Involve both internal staff and external experts, depending on the complexity of the audit. Provide training on audit procedures, tools, and reporting standards.

Watch out for:

  • Poor task delegation and role clarity can cause confusion, missed deadlines, or duplicated efforts.
  • Insufficient training or expertise among team members.

3. Develop a Comprehensive Plan

An effective plan serves as a blueprint for the entire audit process. Break the audit into phases, such as planning, execution, analysis, and reporting. Set realistic timelines for each phase, ensuring deadlines are achievable. Identify potential risks and challenges, and prepare contingency plans to address them.

Watch out for:

  • Inefficient collaboration and communication can result in misunderstandings, overlooked tasks, and fragmented reporting.
  • Unrealistic timelines or inadequate risk assessment.

4. Gather and Analyze Data

The quality of your audit depends on the accuracy and relevance of the data you collect. Use standardized tools and methods for data collection, such as surveys, interviews, and system logs. Verify the reliability of your sources to minimize errors. Analyze the data systematically to uncover patterns, anomalies, or areas for improvement.

Watch out for:

  • Incomplete or inaccurate data can compromise the validity of audit findings.
  • Inadequate data analysis or interpretation.

5. Engage Stakeholders Throughout the Process

Regular communication with stakeholders ensures transparency and builds trust. Share progress updates at key milestones to keep everyone informed. Address concerns or questions promptly to maintain alignment with objectives. Involve stakeholders in reviewing preliminary findings and shaping actionable recommendations.

Watch out for:

  • Limited visibility for stakeholders can lead to mistrust and misalignment.
  • Inadequate communication or stakeholder engagement.

6. Document Findings and Provide Recommendations

The way you present your findings can determine how effective your audit will be in driving change.

Compile results into a structured report, highlighting key insights and areas of concern. Offer clear, actionable recommendations supported by evidence. Prioritize recommendations based on their potential impact and feasibility.

Watch out for:

  • Poor documentation practices can result in audit findings that lack context or clarity.
  • Inadequate or unclear recommendations.

7. Implement and Monitor Changes

The audit’s value lies in its ability to drive improvement. Develop a plan to implement recommended changes, assigning tasks and deadlines. Monitor the impact of these changes over time to measure effectiveness. Schedule follow-up audits to ensure sustained compliance and progress.

Watch out for:

  • Resistance to change can hinder the implementation of recommendations.
  • Inadequate monitoring or evaluation of changes.

8. Evaluate and Improve the Audit Process

Every audit is an opportunity to refine your approach for the next one. Conduct a post-audit review to identify lessons learned and areas for improvement. Update your audit processes, templates, or tools based on feedback. Recognize and celebrate successes to build momentum for future audits.

Watch out for:

  • Lack of continuous evaluation and improvement.
  • Inadequate documentation or retention of lessons learned

By following these steps and being aware of potential concerns, you can create an audit program that not only ensures compliance but also drives meaningful organizational improvements.

Using the Right Tools

Executing a successful audit program requires more than just good planning – it demands a tool that can help you overcome the common pitfalls we discussed earlier. A powerful task management solution can make all the difference in organizing your workflow and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

Managing roles ensures that team members are accountable and understand their responsibilities within the audit program. This feature lets you assign roles such as Board Admin, Team Member, or Visitor based on their level of involvement. 

For example, auditors responsible for key tasks can be assigned as team members, while external stakeholders can be given viewing access as visitors. This setup promotes structured collaboration, minimizes confusion, and secures sensitive project data by controlling access. 

4. Centralized Communication Using Board Chat

Improve team synergy by using Kerika board chat as a centralized communication hub. Say goodbye to endless email chains; instead, share updates, clarify issues, and leave feedback in one place. Effortlessly keep tasks aligned while promoting a better collaborative environment

Rather than relying on scattered emails or chat messages, the board’s built-in chat feature ensures that all discussions related to tasks remain accessible in one place. Team members can share updates, clarify issues, and leave comments directly on the board, allowing everyone to stay informed without the need to search through multiple communication channels. This approach reduces confusion and keeps conversations tied to their respective tasks, making collaboration more seamless and productive. 

5. Centralized File Management for Seamless Access

Keep all important documents in one place with centralized file management for seamless access. Simplify audits with easy file upload, document linking, and quick collaboration

The board’s attachment feature provides a streamlined way to manage and share files relevant to each task. Whether it’s audit guidelines, evidence documentation, or stakeholder reports, all files can be uploaded, created, or linked directly on the board. 

This eliminates the need for external storage systems and ensures team members can access the most up-to-date documents without delays. With everything in one place, your team can focus on executing tasks efficiently.

6. Highlight and Prioritize Critical Tasks

Focus on what matters most during your audits by managing the highlighting of tasks within Kerika. Highlight urgent tasks by filter and status to ensure deadlines are always met. Effortlessly apply high-priority tags with just a few clicks for an efficient workflow

The board’s highlight feature allows teams to quickly identify tasks that need immediate attention based on various criteria, such as assigned users, task status, due dates, and priority levels. This ensures that high-priority audits, overdue items, or tasks tagged with specific labels are easy to spot. 

By using this filter, teams can streamline their focus, tackle urgent tasks, and avoid missing deadlines; keeping the entire audit program on track and well-coordinated.

7. Fine-Tune Board Settings for Optimal Control

Ensure a streamlined audit with Kerika’s Fine-Tune Board Settings. Simplify complex action items, customize your visual workplace, maintain team workload, and meet goals with ease by using clearly defined, streamlined task actions

Efficient auditing requires a board that adapts to your evolving needs. The board settings let you control access with privacy options, ensuring that only the right people see the sensitive details of the audit process. You can set WIP (Work-in-Progress) limits to manage team workload and prevent bottlenecks. 

Auto-numbering tasks ensures consistent tracking, while tags help in organizing tasks across departments, phases, or categories. Additionally, the board overview provides real-time insights into the status of the audit program, making it easy to identify tasks that are completed, pending, or overdue. 

With export and archive options, you can back up or pause tasks while keeping your audit workflow organized and future-ready.

Break Down Tasks Into Manageable Steps 

When managing an audit program, be sure not to overlook any detail! This demo board shows how you can effectively take actions in clearly-defined steps. This includes detailed task descriptions and objectives, checklists for easy actionable progress, the ability to share files, task-specific communication and, most importantly, setting clear priorities

When managing an audit program, breaking down tasks is the key to ensuring no critical detail is overlooked. This demo board exemplifies how each task is divided into actionable, trackable steps for better clarity and collaboration. 

Here’s how this team approaches task segmentation effectively:

  1. Details Tab for Task Descriptions: The Details tab allows teams to document comprehensive task descriptions, requirements, and key objectives. This ensures everyone involved understands the task scope without needing constant clarification.
  2. Setting Task Status for Progress Tracking: Assigning a status such as Ready, In Progress, or Needs Review enables clear visibility into the progress of tasks. With updated statuses, team members can easily track completion or identify bottlenecks.
  3. Checklist Tab for Subtasks: Complex tasks can be broken down into smaller, actionable subtasks using the Checklist tab. Each subtask can be ticked off upon completion, helping teams stay organized and avoid overlooking essential steps.
  4. Due Dates to Maintain Deadlines: Setting deadlines ensures tasks remain on schedule, while visibility into upcoming due dates helps the team prioritize work and avoid missed timelines.
  5. Tags for Categorization: By assigning relevant tags, such as compliance audit or disaster recovery, tasks can be categorized and filtered efficiently. This feature makes it easy to locate related tasks and ensure streamlined workflows.
  6. Chat Tab for Task-Specific Discussions: Instead of scattered messages across different platforms, the Chat tab centralizes all task-related conversations. Teams can collaborate, provide updates, and resolve questions directly within the task card.
  7. Task Assignments for Clear Ownership: Assigning tasks to specific team members ensures accountability. Each team member knows their responsibilities and can focus on their assigned tasks without confusion.
  8. Attachments Tab for Storing Relevant Files: Important documents, reference files, or evidence can be attached directly to the task through the Attachments tab. This keeps everything task-specific and avoids searching through external storage systems.

With tasks broken down into manageable steps, this board demonstrates how complex audits can be simplified, making it easier to track progress, identify blockers, and ensure all objectives are met seamlessly.

Conclusion: Building an Effective and Scalable Audit Program

A well-executed audit program is the backbone of organizational compliance, risk management, and process optimization. By breaking down tasks into manageable steps, ensuring proper categorization, and fostering clear team communication, you create a workflow that is structured yet flexible enough to handle unexpected challenges. 

The right planning and execution will help you stay on top of deadlines, improve collaboration, and ultimately achieve audit success with confidence.
