Introduction

The Action List displays individual actions that have been done or are still outstanding. This is an important tool for the everyday management of contacts and work within the contact management system. Each user can tailor their actions list to display the information that is required. The Action List can also have saved pre-sets to help manage other users and teams.

Setting the Action List as your home page and default options

The Action List can be set as the home page so that it is displayed when logging in or when you press the home icon, see the General User Details tab in My User Options for further details.

Each user can determine how the Action List displays when logging in. It can be set with defaults with the option of specifying how the defaults are used. To change the defaults of the action list see Action List Settings for further details.

Default Display

The default display of the action list will show fewer options to give more vertical screen space. The view contains the key fields used on a day to day basis by most users. The default view (screenshot below) will display:

  • Action List for Referrals - clicking on this will reveal additional options for displaying actions.
  • Jump to Referral - enter the referral/case number and click the lightning icon to got to the Referral Edit screen.
  • Default Action List - clicking on this will re-set the action list back to its default. This is changed on your User settings.
  • Saved Action List Views - You can create numerous saved action lists. There is also a delete icon next to each one.
  • More Presents - this will list additional options, listed below.
