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

Screen Shot 2020-11-17 at 12.14.12 pm

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.


Suggested favourites areas to get you started (more scenarios below):

  • Overdue tasks

  • Tasks not assigned to a field tech

  • Tasks not assigned to an office user

  • Tasks not assigned to a round, if you're using these. More info on rounds here if I've got your attention.

  • Tasks without a due date (to catch those ones that'll float around and not flag as overdue)

  • Tasks in performed status to be processed

  • Tasks with access review, vacant or revisit for access issues follow-ups.

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.

Colour coding and organising favourites

Hover your mouse cursor over the upper-right corner of a favourite tile and click on the pencil icon to reveal a selection of colours to choose from. You can also arrange the tiles to your liking by clicking and dragging.
