 +===== Getting Started =====
 +**Getting Started** - Suggestions
 +
 +  - Define vehicle classes and service offerings … keep it simple to start … its generally most helpful to get  up and running quickly, recognizing that DispatchDirect has the flexibility for as much complexity as you are prepared to manage and maintain
 +  - Configure the Cash/​Call-In Account in Accounts - this is the "​default"​ for business that comes in over-the-transom ​
 +  - Begin defining pricing - in Pricing Templates - for the  “cells” ​ in the two dimensional matrix (vehicle classes and service offerings) where you do the most business
 +  - Start  by defining Pricing Templates for the “Call-In”/​”Cash Call”/"​Over-the-transom Calls" ​ – use these as the “default” pricing approach ("List Pricing"​) for the business – in so doing any account that does not have a company-specific template for a cell in the matrix will be priced by the system using this default
 +  - Where a different pricing structure is appropriate for one or more accounts, start with the closest available Pricing template (e.g., for "​Cash"​ business), adjust as necessary, give the template a new name, and "Save as a new template"​. ​ Part of the idea behind this approach is to make it easy to create an Account-Specific ​ pricing template by starting with an available template (note: the list of templates – Rates” – can become quite long .... be prudent in creating just what you really need)
 +  - For the relevant Accounts, associate the new Pricing Template with that account …. The System will use the Vehicle Class and Service offering for pricing – using the Account-specific template when available, and the company default pricing (Call-in/​Cash) when account-specific pricing has not been entered
