Key Enhancements
UPDATED: InsideSales Tab Redesigned
The purpose for this enhancement is to improve the user experience as well as prepare the navigational structure for the new Inbound and Outbound Call History reports that are scheduled for release in 2019.
The page style has been improved and navigational links on the page have been updated and categorized. Less frequently used account settings options have been moved to a drop down menu that is accessible from the ‘Settings’ icon located at the top right of the page.
