Sales Rep Dashboard
The Sales Rep Dashboard is a customized display for the individual salesperson. It can be designated as the startup screen when the sales rep logs on, or it can be called up by selecting Customer Management>Sales Rep Dashboard.
The Sales Rep Dashboard includes pertinent information for the selected owner: a list of business blocks and events with filter options and links to edit the records; the sales rep's activities; and month-to-date production or arrival statistics. Double-clicking on the Activities, Blocks, Events, and Goals window title bar will allow for the creation or modification of information.
Note: OPERA will save certain values by the user when this screen is closed and default to those values the next time the user opens the Sales Rep Dashboard. These values are: Business Block Display, Status 1, Status 2, Status, Goal Type, Plus/Minus and Owner Property.
The modular design of the Dashboard allows OPERA to function as a complete solution. All your guest interactions can be managed from one easy-to-find quick-key screen to ensure relevant and timely information is available to your staff.
The Sales Rep Dashboard is designed for speed so the focus is not on navigating through the program.

See Activity Time Zones for details.
Note: When the application parameter Leads>Notification is set to Y, two additional radio buttons display in the Activities/Tasks Section. These radio buttons (Tasks and Notifications) allow you to toggle between Activity Tasks and Notification Tasks. When the Tasks radio button is selected, activities of classes CALL, CORRESPONDENCE and TO DO, display in the tasks list. When the Notifications radio button is selected, only those activities of the NOTIFICATION class will display.
When the application parameter Activity>Activities First In Sales Rep Dashboard is set to Y, Activities are listed first in the bigger box, and Tasks are listed below in the smaller box. When this parameter is set to N the display is switched so that Tasks are listed first and in the bigger box and Activities with the Time column are listed below.
When the Salesrep Dashboard is opened, the first Task listed is selected by default. When a Task is edited from the dashboard, the cursor will remain on that Task once the Activities screen is closed, unless the Task is marked as 'Complete'. When a Task is edited and marked as 'Complete' from the dashboard, the Task will move to the bottom of the task list, and the cursor will move to the first Task in the list once the Activities screen has been closed.
