What are Industries?
When you create a contact in the Address Book in Hiro, you will be asked to specify the industry type for the contact. Industry types are how Hiro enables you analyse your data between different professions, organisation types, private versus public institutions and more.
Analysing Data using Industries
Address Book Analysis
Visit the Analysis section of Hiro part of the Address Book, which will allow you to export your contacts using different says to slice 'n dice your data. The industry type for your contacts will be exported as a column, however you can also specify the industry type as one of the filters when running your report.
Financial Reports
All reports generated from the Financial page within Hiro allow you to specify the industry as a filter. For example, the Invoices Report below is searching all invoices where the billing entity has an industry type of "Agriculture".
Add/change Industry Types
Hiro comes pre-loaded with a broad list of industry types to help you segment your contacts straight out of the box. However, you can add, edit or delete existing industries by visiting the Industries page within the Settings section of Hiro. Note that you will need to be a Hiro Global Admin to be able to visit this page.
