Filter the section tabs
The section tabs in SuperOffice CRM can contain large amounts of data, such as contacts, activities, and sales.
A great way to find information quickly is by using filters. Filters reduce the amount of information you are looking at, making it faster to find what you are looking for.
You can filter the content of section tabs by adding criteria to one or more columns.
Filters are personal. The filters you use, are visible only for you and you can add and remove filters at any time.
Multiple filters can be active at the same time. If a section tab does not display the expected records, check your filter settings.
