Follow-Ups

Overview

The Follow-Ups screen provides a centralized, visual view of all follow-up items across the system.
It is designed to help users track, prioritize, and complete follow-ups tied to Projects, Contacts, Companies, Service Tickets, and other records.

Follow-ups are displayed as cards, making it easy to identify what needs attention, what is coming due soon, and what is overdue.


Accessing the Follow-Ups Screen

The Follow-Ups screen can be accessed from the left-hand menu on the main application navigation.

Once opened, it displays all follow-ups the user has access to, organized into cards and filterable by multiple criteria.

The Views panel on the left allows users to quickly switch between common follow-up perspectives.

Typical views include:

  • All Follow-Ups
