Accounts Homepage
The Accounts Homepage is the starting point for managing accounts. This page contains several sections and displays account information that is relevant to you. If your user role includes the Personalize Homepages privilege, you can add sections to the page and remove sections from the page.
In the standard application, the following sections are shown on your Accounts Homepage:
Account Lists Section
The Account Lists section displays this information:
- Account Lists. The first ten filtered lists. Filtered lists are subsets or groups of accounts that allow you to limit the number of accounts to work with at a time.
The application comes with a set of standard lists. All standard lists are public and visible to everyone. You and your managers can create additional lists based on different criteria. These custom lists appear above the standard set of lists.
If an already-created list does not appear on the Accounts Homepage, click any list. Then, on the Account List page, click the drop-down list to see all the available lists, and make your selection.
