Everyday

The small things that make it quick to use every day.

To-do

Lists for the office, yourself and each job: priority, due day, who is doing it and tags; a list or a board; drag to reorder or onto another list (hold Ctrl to copy); Given to me; done ones kept with who ticked them.

Why it helps: The jobs list and the job’s to-dos in the same place.

In Better Reno: Side menu → To-do · a job → To-do

The bell, and your phone

What needs your eye: a new enquiry, a client who opened or approved a quote, a schedule change to approve, a late order, a thank-you earned, invoices and bills due. Choose what goes in the bell and what goes to your phone, with quiet hours at night.

Why it helps: Know the moment a client says yes.

Your views follow you, on any screen

How you leave a screen (a fold, a filter, a column width, the menu’s order) is kept on your login, so it is the same on the office computer, at home and on your phone. Every screen works on a phone, and lists you can type into to find things.
