Pin Records to the Home Scree
Imagine you have a major lead you are hoping to convert into a customer. You'll probably have frequent contact with the lead and want to check their details often as you work on the deal, and you don't want to spend time finding the same record every time. You can pin records on your home screen as shortcuts to save time spent searching the record list.
This option is available in Android version 8.0 and higher.
To pin records to the home screen as shortcuts
- Go to the module (Leads or Contacts).
