AllocPSA_Tips

Firstly, remember that allocPSA is a web-based application. As such, all the normal behaviour that you would expect from a web-browser functions correctly in allocPSA. Therefore,

• When you are viewing a page which is larger than the web-browser window, you can always scroll down (and up) with the scrollbar or Page Up or Page Down on your keyboard.
• You can print a whole (or part) page to any printer your workstation has been configured to use, at any time, just like you would print a web-page. If you see a "Print" link at the top of the screen that indicates that that particular pages have been optimised for printing.
• You can find any piece of text in a page by using your browser's page Find function (often a Ctrl + F keystroke or available from the Edit menu)
• You can save the complete contents of a page to a file, for later review, by using your browser's Save Page As... function (often a Ctrl + S keystroke or available from the Edit menu)
• You can trace your steps back to any specific point that you have been during this session, by using your browser's Back button (or function, often accessed via a Ctrl + Left Keyboard Arrow)
• You can establish specific browser Bookmarks for particular, commonly used Projects, Tasks or function pages in allocPSA
• You can (with some care) send others within your organisation the current web-browser address (i.e. URL) of a particularly interesting page in allocPSA that you want them to see.
• Your organisation can make some parts of allocPSA available to outsiders, via an extranet system, which may help them better understand how their Project with your firm is progressing.
• You can Bookmark pages in your web-browser. For example, if you establish a specific filter, with options, for showing Tasks, bookmark it, and recall the same filter settings on future occasions.
