New users to Saleslogix (Infor) CRM can become "Icon blind" to these simple but helpful little images found in the Web client. But once you have used them to navigate the CRM desktop they become second-hand. I find that associating the icon image to the physical action helpful: Lookup, Move forward, Move backward. Add. Save.
Of course there is the ever present big question mark
to lead you to helpful information.
The On-line Help system of Saleslogix CRM is one of the better I have seen in software.
Where do I start to LOOK up something like a business company name?
The Key to Lookup information is the magnifying glass. It will lead you to easily find a name, an address, a phone number or email, plus much more
Once you are in a group list you can use the forward/backward arrow keys for easier navigation.
The big green button is used to add a new record.
Funny but the SAVE icon is the floppy disk
I haven't actually used a floppy to hold data for years.!
