There are many effective ways to manage records by name, grouping or other categorical descriptors. Commence On Demand enables your company to share a range of accounts lists and allows individual users to create and save "saved searches" from any of those lists. The lists can be used for mail merges, email or reporting.

Your company-shared lists are located on the left frame of the accounts module. This list is accessible by all employees. The actual records they see will be a result of their permission settings. Example, if the boss selected utility companies and has permission to see all accounts, and Mike only had permission to see his own accounts, they could both see Utility companies but Mike’s list would be limited to those assigned to him. Use All Lists to display all records.
