I am still using Pampered Partner but have P3 on my computer to play aI am still using Pampered Partner but have P3 on my computer to play a bit and so that when new consultants need help I at least have a clue.

I plan on switching over to P3 once I submit my last August show but keep PP updated because I like some of the director reports that are there.

SOOOOO.... What advice to you have for me? Are there tricks or tricky things about it that I need to watch for? Things you found that make it easier to use? TIA
 
P3 is EasierI find that P3 is much easier to use than Pampered Partner, especially when entering the items for guests. I do wish something could be done to make the calendar more user friendly!;)

I agree, I have been using P3 since about March, I really like it. There are some features that so much easier, like being able to look up a product by name.
 
I was told by my director not to switch yet to P3 because that what tech support told her. So I haven't. I'm with you Beth!

I talked with tech support at conference and they encouraged me to start using it once I got the new disc. They said that they felt the bugs were worked out...
 
Thanks for letting us know Beth. I am never one to jump first onto the technology bandwagon. My guess is that in the not too distant future, P3 or higher will be it.

I love P3. I'm looking forward to the day when we can get our director reports there, too.

Tech support at conference told me that they won't be adding director reports to P3. They will all be on CC. ...But we can continue to update PP to get them in the meantime.
 
I wonder when they are going to stop accepting from PP...anyone hear of a tentative plan?

They implied that it wouldn't be any time soon when I asked at conference. They said I could still get the director reports I like by keeping PP updated...
 
That's good. I mainly haven't switched because I'm chicken!
 
messagesGreg,

I check her often, so I do not need to get an email every time someone posts on a thread I have posted on. How do I change that feature? I tried to figure it out myself, but I am missing something somewhere...maybe in my brain...LOL Thanks for the help.
 
I recently reset everyones options to disable notification. You can enable it again in your usercp options menu.

Ditto - thanks!
 
I'm glad you said something. I *like* instant notification and I would have been :confused: to log in and see replies I didn't receive! I've changed it back for me. :)
 
THANK YOU!!!! It was driving me nuts!!!!!!
