Daily Q & A Sessions

TRAMS is getting rave reviews for the new ClientBase Plus Daily Q & A sessions, which replace Study Halls. Mindy Schwab hosts a daily hour-long WebEx session open to all ClientBase Plus users. The session is an open forum, giving you the opportunity to ask questions about the product, learn tips from Mindy and your colleagues, or get training in an area that would be helpful to you. The sessions are offered at 1:30 PM PST on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and at 8:30 AM PST Tuesdays and Thursdays. No pre- registration is needed. Any day you would like to attend, select 'Join' from the WebEx Training Center anytime during the hour. Stay for the whole hour or just drop in, ask your question(s), and go. We have received many e-mails from attendees singing praises of this forum.
