The Site Navigation bar along the left side of AdvisorEngine CRM is your primary means of navigating the program. This article will describe the special features of the navigation and where each path leads.
Jump Lists
The first two entries in the Site Navigation bar are the Last 20 Records and Last 20 Actions jump lists. Hovering over either of these will provide you with a pop-out of the last 20 Records you opened or the last 20 Actions you edited, respectively.
