Each time I go through a demo of Avionté or work with one of our customers I think about how much more productive and fun my desk could have been if only I had some of these tools!
For past Tips click on the hyperlinks.
Basic Search Grid
This is one of my all-time favorites. There is so much information you can gather and so many ways to view raw data. What do I like best? That's a tough one. However I really like the fact I can set up my view to stay the same each time. Do you like to see the Employee Name next to the Branch? Don't need Nickname? Once you set up your preference it will stay as long as you have your Grid Preferences set up in Admin Tools. By default this should be the case, but if not it can easily be changed.
Admin Tools>ConfigOption>Config Option By FKName (this will allow you to change it for multiple branches quickly) Under Property>DeleteGridPreferences = False
Note this will only work for the Basic Search Grid, not AQ's.
Generate Resume
Need a quick way to professionally present a candidate who doesn't have a resume? Under Employee>Actions>Generate Resume you will find an easy way to generate a resume based on the Employee Record. If you haven't used this feature before, you may want to talk to your Account Manager about customizing the resume. Some of our customers have found this to be a great tool to standardize all resumes they present to clients by creating their own template too! If you submit an example of what you want your generated resumes to look like to your Account Manager, they can provide you quote to have it created.
Styles
The red button (preference button) offers a variety of styles for each user to choose from. I'll admit I don't want to look at the same blue screen each day. Some days I'm in the mood for Peach, while others I like RadioFlyer. Remember, this won't affect anyone else's view, just yours. Each time you log in you'll see the style you last choose.
Favorites
Categorize, create and maintain Favorites lists for Employees, Customers and Contacts. Want to keep track of and keep in contact with all the candidates you've interviewed for the month whom you haven't found a job for? Want to create a group of Contacts that will allow you to Mass Mail and log a message each time it's sent out? Think about the files in your desk drawer (yes those still exist in some offices)! What types of lists are you keeping? Could they be created in a Favorites group? Best of all - you can share them.
I hope one of these have sparked an idea how to make your desk a little more productive, or maybe even a feature you didn't know existed!
Happy Staffing
