Core - Hot Lists

What are Hot Lists?

Hot lists allow you an opportunity to place employees or customers within given static lists in order to easily access and locate them, without having to run a search. 

Some common ideas for hot lists:

  • Group employees who have be pre-qualified for a specific customer/skill set
  • Track key or target customers
  • New hires that have not yet turned in background checks or I-9s

The hot list section of Enterprise Core can be accessed directly from the navigational tree under all options > hot lists.
