Duplicate Your Glances to Keep Preferred Settings

Should you create a new Glance or duplicate an existing one?
The answer depends on how you and your team use Glances and what apps you have connected. Typically, users will choose to duplicate a Glance if they have multiple instances of the same software, different email audiences, and similar situations. Duplicating an existing Glance will keep the same field and view settings, saving you hassle from creating a new Glance, then editing it to re-select those preferences. Keep reading to learn the best use case examples and get how-to instructions.

Use case examples
If your business is set up in a way that requires more than one instance for a CRM like HubSpot or support ticketing platform like Zendesk, you would need to set up a Glance for each instance. Duplicating Glances from one instance to be used for another saves time and keeps the same settings you rely on.
Email marketing is another great case. Let’s say your email marketing provider is set up like Mailchimp, which allows you to deploy emails to different audiences. If you send email campaigns to more than one audience, you would need to set up a Glance related to each audience. Duplication lightens the workload in this situation as well.
