What's New for Practice Management
Filter Views on the Task List
Description: The task list can now be quickly filtered according to your own, customized filter views. Filter views work best when structured according to Status or Service, but can be fully customized to fit seamlessly into your workflow and make your process more efficient. This overhaul of the Task List provides the All Work, Active Work, and My Work filter views by default. For help setting up your task list to best suit your workflow, please refer to the knowledge base articles below.
