How Many Accounts Do I Need at Quik!?
This question comes up with partners, integrators, and enterprise-level customers quite often. There's no right or wrong answer, just options.
...
The more common use case for enterprise Quik! App customers are for the enterprise to have a parent account and multiple child or sub-accounts for each of their offices (i.e. an office can be 1 or many people who all share a child account at Quik!). This enables customers to give their sales offices their own forms, settings, and control over users.
See this page for more: Parent / Child Accounts and User Setup
...
Partners = 1 Parent Account, Many Child Accounts
...
First, the partner will have an account at Quik! that we’ll refer to as the Parent account. It’s the top-most account that will be used to create sub-accounts and to roll up any reporting (usage, pricing, etc.). This Parent account can also have settings that are pushed down to all sub-accounts, but that may or may not be applicable (we can discuss these options).
Second, the parent account will be replicated into our UAT environment, which can be used for testing new product features and bug fixes before a rollout. Our UAT environment is generally available but not as reliable as production, given that it is a non-prod environment. Also, we don’t set up different accounts in UAT, rather we refresh UAT with production data (scrubbed and modified) periodically. See this: Testing Quik! Updates in a UAT Environment
...
For the most part, you don’t need to use our UAT environment for development, implementation, or testing. If you generate forms in DRAFT Mode that is sufficient, and by testing against our production environment, you’re testing the customer’s actual settings (any settings performed in UAT will not propagate to PROD, and you’ll have to replicate them in PROD manually).
Thus, we We suggest partners have the following accounts:
1 Parent Account
1 Sales Demo Account (this could also just be your parent account, btw)
1-3 Development Accounts (most partners only need one, but having additional accounts is ok)
1 Sub-Account per client
Since each sub-account at Quik! is a full-fledged customer account that has all the capabilities of any other account (including the parent account), it's easy to separate customers and their forms and settings. This includes choosing which forms are seen on each sub-account, including private forms that only that account will see. In addition, each account can have its own field rules (required fields, formats, masks, etc.), its own form groups (logical bundles of forms), its own logo on the form viewer, etc.
