Tip 4:  How do I reorder my Jim2 navigation tree to better suit my daily tasks?

Easy! Click and drag the object headings like jobs, quotes, email, etc into an order that suits you. You will notice that the tabs across the Jim2 ribbon will also reorder to match the navigation tree.

We recommend using these at the top of your navigation tree:

  • Service team: Dashboard, Jobs, Scheduling, and Email.
  • Sales team: Quotes, Email, Scheduling, and Stock.
  • Administration: Accounts, CardFiles, Jobs, and Documents.

Lists can also be reordered using the same drag and drop action.
