  • Use module tabs strategically: Each module (Document, Nonconformity, Risk, etc.) shows only relevant tasks
  • Switch quickly between contexts: Click module tabs to focus on specific work types
  • Remember module persistence: Your last selected module is remembered between sessions

Leverage Status Cards for Quick Actions​

  • Click cards for instant filtering: Status cards at the top act as quick filters
  • Use color coding: Each status has a distinct color for visual recognition
  • Monitor real-time counts: Numbers update automatically as tasks change

Master Both View Types​

Filtering Strategies​

  1. Progressive filtering: Start with module → add status filter → use search if needed
  2. Quick status checks: Use pie chart in Statistics tab for instant status overview
  3. Date range analysis: Set specific date ranges for weekly/daily charts to focus on relevant periods

  • Use appropriate work types: Choose correct work type for accurate reporting
  • Add meaningful notes: Include relevant details for future reference
