CRM Basics

Dashboard Settings Options

CRM is designed with the Salesman in mind.  All information viewed is specific to the user that is logged in.  This user, sees only his/her Customers, Cases, Activities, Pipeline, etc. and can plan accordingly.

Settings Options Overview

You can open the Settings frame to access 4 different settings Options:

Show items for subordinates

  • Selecting this option means that only Active customers will display in the selection lists when you are doing a search for a customer or contact.

Hide dashboard panel

  • Selecting this option will hide the Dashboard panel in both the Home page and the Customer Home page, giving more space to view other details in both of those pages.
