The Quick Access toolbar in MAXIMIZERCRM gives you access to your frequently used Saved Searches and Favorite Lists with just one click. No need to find the right search, in the right view – just click on the icon and your search is retrieved in the correct module. You can add shortcuts from any Maximizer module, whether that be the Address Book, Opportunities, Customer Service Cases or Campaigns.
You can access the Quick Access toolbar from any page in MAXIMIZERCRM. Even if you are viewing the Calendar page and you select a Quick Access toolbar shortcut for a saved search from the Address Book, the Address Book page opens automatically and all Address Book entries matching the search are displayed. So quick and so simple.
You can use different icons to identify the shortcuts to your Favorite Lists and saved searches so they are easy to identify on the Quick Access toolbar. A pair of binoculars icon for your prospects, perhaps, and a big diamond for your in progress or won opportunities! Easy ways to identify your most used lists, whether static lists or dynamic searches.
