Soonr’s Dashboard provides many tools for organizing your mobile lifestyle. Favorites and Recent Changes are two orgaization tools contained in one pane on your Dashboard. Favorites you totally control; whereas, Most Recent is dynamic and has built in intelligence to help you accomplish tasks quicker.
Organize with Favorites and Recetn Changes
Let’s explore each one of these productivity tools.
There are certain things that we go back to time and again because they are what we care about most. Whether it’s a favorite website, restaurant, picture, or video; we take time to put them at the “top of the stack” because we want to return to them at a moments notice.
The same thing happens when you working on your computer(s). Certain projects, pictures, files or folders contain things you use often but perhaps at varied intervals. The Favorites tab allows you to quickly bring those things together in your Dashboard. As you are navigating in your Soonr account, you’ll see a star appear next to files and folders.
If you want the file or folder to appear in your favorites, simply click on the star to toggle it on or off. If you’ve ever used Gmail, you’ll see that it’s pretty similar to Gmail’s favorites feature.
Favorites have a yellow star next to them.
Now let’s contrast this to the “Recent Changes” tab. Whereas Favorites are completely controlled by you, Recent Changes automatically detects updated to your cloud and shows you what’s happening in realtime. If someone left a comment for you or made a change in a shared project, it’ll appear in the Recent Changes tab. The order of the items is chronological, with the most recent things at the top. At a glance you can see what’s going on in your cloud. You can perform actions that will appear on the list, but unlike Favorites you cannot directly mark items to be persistent and included even when no action occurs.
These features are especially useful when you are accessing your account from a mobile phone. The immediacy of the information and the fact that it’s intelligently presenting what is happening in realtime, allows you to quickly respond to requests or project activities when you are mobile. You don’t have to spend a lot of time navigating in the more limited interface of a mobile phone in order to get to what you need. When you area on a device with a smaller screen, fewer clicks equals better mobile productivity.
