Smart Views

1. Feature Overview

The Smart Views page lets you access your accounts, leads, opportunities, activities, and tasks in one place. It’s similar to the Advanced Search feature on the Manage Leads page, but has the following advantages –

• Gives sales users a single work area for accessing accounts, leads, opportunities, activities and tasks.
• Provides a better alternative to quick filters – you can view your saved filters as tabs and apply filters and sort orders per tab.
• Shows you the count of leads on each tab.
• Automatically refreshes so your tabs are always updated.

You can also receive daily reports for the views you create. So if you want a daily report for new leads added, pending tasks for the day, sales tasks completed yesterday, activities posted yesterday, etc., all you need to do is set up a view and subscribe to the report (For more details, see the ‘Subscribe to Smart Views Reports’ section of this article).
