10. Calendar, Suppliers & Email

Chapter 10 of 15

Calendar

Plan appointments and orders with color coding by type. The calendar view shows daily, weekly and monthly overview.

Optionally, you can synchronize your Outlook calendar. Appointments are synchronized bidirectionally. Events deleted in Outlook are automatically removed from the HIVE calendar at the next sync.

Suppliers

In the Suppliers area, you manage your suppliers and service providers:

  • Master Data: Company, contact person, street, postal code, city, country, phone, email
  • Bank Details: IBAN for payments
  • Categorization: Grouping by supplier type
  • Notes: Free text field for special conditions or agreements

Suppliers can be assigned when recording expenses in accounting.

Use Import Suppliers in the tab header to open the import wizard directly in the supplier context. It accepts CSV, Excel (.xlsx) and vCard/VCF files. Each file is limited to 10 MB, 10,000 data rows, and up to 5 Excel worksheets. Supplier addresses are stored as structured street, postal code, city, and country fields; old single-line addresses are migrated or imported into those fields as well as possible. With Update existing contacts by email enabled, HIVE updates matching suppliers by email address without overwriting existing data with empty import values. In the detail view, you can export the selected supplier as a ".vcf" file via the three-dot menu.

Email Sending Log

The Email area automatically logs all emails sent from within HIVE — such as when sending invoices, quotations or reminders. It is a read-only log (not an email client).

Features:

  • Sending Overview: Tabular view of all sent emails with date, recipient, subject, attachment, linked document and status
  • Year and Status Filter: Filter by year and sending status (Sent/Failed)
  • Full-text Search: Search recipients and subjects
  • View Details: Complete email details including message text and error information via double-click
  • Resend: Resend failed emails with one click
  • View PDF: Open linked invoice or quotation PDF directly from the log
Emails are automatically logged when you send documents by email. Manual entry is not intended.
