Setting up favourites can be a game changer to manage your daily, weekly and even monthly tasks.
At Uptick, we believe too many emails reduce productivity, so we support less emails and more use of our system internally, so your work is always sitting at the click of a button, literally.
Creating a favourite and adding it to the dashboard |
How to create a favourite:
Adding the favourite to your dashboard:
|
Helpful tip: Favourites are what I like to call 'sticky fields', so they are only visible on your login, and not everyone in the business. Knowing this, make them completely your own and call them whatever you think will help recognise them quicker. Once your favourites are added to your dashboard, the tiles can be colour coded and rearranged to suit you and your workflows. Simply click on the pencil or drag them around.
The list could go on, but it is really up to you what you need to monitor each day so feel empowered to get creative! |
Happy favouriting! Please contact your account manager if you need any assistance on this. |
