Utilities: The following options are available through the Utilities pull-down: Daily Planner Loader and Options. The Options menu contains sub menu items.
Daily Planner Loader is a feature which enables a user to add items, en-mass, to their Daily Planner from one of the searches. This feature is available from the Client, Contact and Applicant search screen. For example, from the Client or Contact search results, the user can automatically have the Daily Planner updated with the Client/Contact call information as prospecting calls. From the Applicant search results, a consultant could load the Daily Planner with recruiting calls. Group managers can assign prospecting lists or other calls to a consultant in their group and assign all items to occur on a specific date, or they can specify a date range which will allow the system to allocate the calls among the number of days specified. This in turn makes it possible for a consultant to run all of their call activity from the planner, which makes the Statistics Page a very meaningful measuring device for performance metrics. This feature is only available with proper security access.
