What Different Sales Job Roles See in the Navigator and Springboard

To help you configure navigation, here's an overview of what users with common sales job roles see by default in the Navigator and springboard. The different Navigator items are grouped under headings.

The table lists all the headings, but not every item under every heading. If it makes sense to hide the whole heading, there's no need to list each item. For each of the common job roles, you learn if the item or category is displayed in both the Navigator and springboard, in the Navigator only, or in neither.
