Preview panel allows you to review the record details, related records, activity timeline, and more without leaving Ascendix Search app. Also, you can add your custom tabs (requires configuration by your Admin), e.g., brokers might want to review stacking plans, blueprints for their properties or you can add your call script.
Combine it with our advanced searching functionality and you'll get a very convenient tool for cold calling and for working with your data. No need to go back and forth between multiple tabs.
Click on the record row to access the preview panel.
Note, that if you click on the hyperlink, e.g., Account name, you'll be forwarded to the Account record in Salesforce, that's why click only on the record row, but not on hyperlinked values.
