Frequently asked questions

Does hivi-x have a calendar with Google Calendar sync?

Yes. Connect Google Calendar in Settings for a two-way sync: Google events appear in hivi-x, events you create in hivi-x are pushed to Google, and deletions sync too.

Can hivi-x remind me about a deadline?

Yes. Add a deadline event to the calendar and give it reminders, such as a week before, a day before and the same day. Each reminder is emailed to you at your chosen time of day, 8 AM by default, and an event can have up to five.

Are client checklist due dates added to my calendar?

Not automatically. Checklist due dates are shown on the client's page with an Overdue badge. Add a deadline event if you want a personal reminder.

Does hivi-x track client birthdays?

Yes. When a client record has a date of birth, hivi-x adds a yearly birthday event to your calendar. The event title doesn't include the client's email address.

• Online client forms: questions, uploads and signatures in one checklisthivi-x checklists work as online client forms. Ask questions, collect documents and get e-signatures through one secure link, with conditional items and no client account.
• Conditional checklist items: show only what applies to each clienthivi-x checklist items can show only when an earlier answer matches, so a self-employed client and a salaried one get different document lists from the same template.
