How to Create and Manage Hot Lists

What are Hot Lists?

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

Hot lists may commonly be used to group employees who have been pre-qualified for a specific customer or skill set, or to track your key or target customers.The hot list section of Enterprise can be accessed directly from the navigational tree/all options/hot lists.
