Dashboard

Quick Actions

Open the form for a new car, task, deal, customer or partner from the Overview page

The quick actions are a button group at the top of the Overview page. Each action opens the list page of a record type with the form for a new record already open.

Requirements: the permission to create the record type. An action appears only for a team member who holds that permission. The group is absent when the team member holds none of them.
