Why Our Clients Love 'Quick Links'

We caught up with Courtney Tucker (Yes, that is a gnome in her profile!) APlus Plus Payroll’s incredible Customer Support Supervisor to ask about one of her favorite shortcuts within our software, ‘Quick Links’ and why her clients love it:

“All of my clients end up loving Quick Links. This magic little button appears in a lot of places, enabling quick access to frequently sought information. such as Pay Statement History and Current Timesheets (if TLM is enabled). For Operations and employees, having a quick link button helps you organize your most frequently used functions.”

What are Quick Links?

Quick Links are essentially shortcuts or bookmarks within the platform that provide instant access to your most frequently used tools and resources. Think of them as your personal dashboard, tailored to help you navigate the system without the hassle of extensive searching or multiple clicks. Whether it’s a report, a scheduling tool, or a payroll function, Quick Links bring the essentials right to your fingertips.
