Default Filters for Users

If your company provides services in multiple industries and different locations at the same time, the default filters are perfect for you. With this feature you can set what your users see on their jobs board, so everyone can handle their tasks better and faster without distractions. Jobs board filters stay selected as long as the user is logged in, and they can be cleared at any time to view all the jobs.

This is very handy, for example if you may want to operate both a garage door business and a locksmith business in one place where you can oversee it all. PowerDispatch default filters enable you to easily manage as many companies as you want all under one account. Simply set the company filter for each user so one user will view and dispatch the jobs for your garage door company and the second user the jobs for your locksmith company, while your own user can see it all.

As you know PowerDispatch is here to make your work life easier every day!
