Available actions
Send to SWOT
Start here
Probability × intensity
Describe the factor, pick the PESTEL letter and give the probability (1 to 5) and the intensity (−5 to +5). The score is probability × |intensity|: 15 or more means "act now". "Send to SWOT" creates the item in the right quadrant of the plan.
How to
Save, browse and undo
Save stores without leaving the form (Ctrl+S); Save and close returns to the list; the header arrows move from one record to the next. Delete sends the record to the list’s trash, from where Undo brings it back.
Standard list and form
The screen became the standard list: search, filters, saved views, columns, export and trash with Undo. Click the record (or New) to open the form, with the detail tabs when there are any.
