Best Practices
Daily Workflow
Morning routine:
- View “NEW” feedback
- Quickly review and mark as REVIEWED
- Prioritize urgent issues
- Update status as you work
Weekly review:
- Review REVIEWED feedback
- Move completed items to RESOLVED
- Archive or delete spam/duplicates
- Export for team reports
Status Discipline
NEW → REVIEWED:
- Mark REVIEWED when you’ve read and acknowledged
- Don’t leave feedback in NEW for days
- Shows users you’re responsive
REVIEWED → RESOLVED:
- Mark RESOLVED only when truly complete
- Include internal notes if needed
- Maintains accurate metrics
Don’t skip steps:
- NEW → RESOLVED (skipping REVIEWED) loses tracking data
- Hurts analytics accuracy
Organization Tips
Use projects wisely:
- Separate projects for different products
- Separate projects for priority levels
- Example: “Website Feedback”, “App Feedback (Priority)”
Search shortcuts:
- Common searches: “bug”, “feature”, “crash”, “slow”
- Save search terms in notes
Regular cleanup:
- Archive old resolved feedback (export first)
- Delete spam immediately
- Keep NEW tab clean
