When a user is logged-in, they will be redirected to their dashboard landing page. On the dashboard page, they are welcomed on a first name basis. Here, they will see an overview of icons that require attention.

You can also enable Microsoft or Google Single Sign-On (SSO) to streamline access for both your internal team and your customers—eliminating the need for extra usernames and passwords. Read this article to learn how to manage customer access.

  • Quick quote (Q) – Start a new proposal using default quote settings.

  • New product (P) – Add a new product to your portfolio.
