The Suggestions tab provides a modern, upgraded interface for viewing, filtering, sorting, and acting on suggestions. This allows users to quickly take the appropriate action, for example, scheduling a call or sending an email, directly from the suggestion. **Who can use this feature?** * End Users — Browser, iPad, * [Viewing the Suggestions Tab](#Viewing_the_Suggestions_Tab) * [Filtering and Sorting Suggestions](#Filtering_and_Sorting_Suggestions) * [Understanding the Suggestions Card](#Understanding_the_Suggestion_Card) * [Viewing Full Suggestion Details](#Viewing_Full_Suggestion_Details) * [Acting on Suggestions](#Acting_on_Suggestions) * Users do not require an additional license ### Configuring the Suggestions Tab for [![Closed](../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)All Users](#) To configure this feature, ensure the following are complete: * [Configuring Suggestions](../Config/SuggestionsConfig.htm) * [Viewing Suggestions via the Home Page Tile](HomePageTile.htm) ### Using the Suggestions Tab as [![Closed](../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)End Users](#) #### Viewing the Suggestions Tab End users can view and interact with their assigned suggestions from the Suggestions tab. ![](../../../Resources/Images/Suggestions/NativeXPages/SuggestionsTab.png) The tab displays all suggestions for accounts the user has access to. The Suggestions tab displays up to 500 suggestions. If this limit is exceeded, a message displays stating that only the first 500 are included. **Suggestion Status** Suggestions have a status of either Open or Closed: * Open - Suggestion has not been executed, dismissed, marked as complete, and is not expired. Open suggestions display first in the Suggestions tab. * Closed - Suggestion was executed, dismissed, marked as complete, or has expired. Closed suggestions display after open suggestions in the Suggestions tab. **Product Specific Suggestions** Suggestions tagged with a specific product only display if the user is aligned to the product in [My Setup](../../Products/MySetupPage.htm). If the product is on the [restricted products](../../Call_Reporting_2/Restrictions/RpAcct.htm) list or [allowed products list](../../Call_Reporting_2/Restrictions/AllowedProd.htm) for the account, the suggestion does not display. #### Filtering and Sorting Suggestions Suggestions are initially sorted by urgency. Users can filter and sort the list of suggestions to focus on the most relevant items. To filter the list of suggestions, select one or more of the following filter options: * Type - Select a suggestion type (for example, Call, Email) to view only suggestions of that type * Tags - Select a Product or Driver tag to view suggestions associated with that tag * Status - View suggestions based on their status. The list defaults to Open. Select Closed to view suggestions acted upon, dismissed, marked complete, or have expired. The list updates in real-time to show only suggestions matching all selected filter criteria. Any selected filters persist as long as the user remains logged into Vault CRM. Users can select the Reset button to clear any applied filters. To sort the list of suggestions, select an option from the Sort By picklist. * Priority (Default) - Sorts by urgent suggestions first, then by account priority score (descending), then by posted date (newest first) * Posted Date - Sorts by posted date (newest first), then by priority score (urgent first), then by account priority score (descending), then by expiration date (soonest first) * Expiration Date - Sorts by expiration date (soonest first), then by priority score (urgent first), then by account priority score (descending), then by posted date (newest first) * Priority Score - Sorts by priority score (descending), then by priority (urgent first), then by posted date (newest first) * Last Modified - Sorts by modified date (most recent first), then by priority (urgent first), then by expiration date (soonest first), then by account priority score (descending) #### Understanding the Suggestion Card Each suggestion displays on a card with key details to help users quickly understand the recommendation.
