2. Connection Views: Customizing your engagement reporting

Easily monitor both partnership and circle activity on an ongoing basis and take targeted actions to ensure a high-level of engagement. Custom connection views can be created by applying filters and alerts such has whether or not tasks were completed by specific dates, and/or by other filters based on the user profile entry, a survey response, or whether a mandatory course has been completed. A custom connection view becomes a live dashboard report, enabling easy oversight and the ability to address partnership connections or roles that meet specific filters.
