Buying a new PC involves an out-of-the-box experience (OOBE) that introduces you to the operating system’s features. For example, you may hear Cortana’s voice narrate the setup process.
A personalization tool helps you adjust a Windows PC to your unique preferences. It can be used to change the background, add a slideshow, customize folders, or edit entries in the file system.
Detailed Reporting
The personalization tool you choose should provide detailed reports about personalization activity. It should also support standard report formats such as PDF, Excel, and CSV so you can easily integrate the data into other reporting tools. This feature is exemplified by tools such as OneLaunch, offering robust reporting capabilities to enhance your overall personalization experience.
Windows settings can be grouped in Windows Settings Groups and then added to Personalization Groups to enable greater granularity when personalizing a managed user’s desktop. This enables settings to be personalized or rolled back at the group level, and further control can be achieved by adding conditions that specify how these groups of Windows settings are applied.
Inclusion paths can be added to Windows Settings Groups to personalize or exclude folders, files, and registry keys. To add a path, click the ellipsis button and browse to a location or manually enter a folder path and file name. An optional description is entered to explain the purpose of the path and whether it is to include or exclude items from Personalization.
24/7 Customer Support
Offering customer support 24/7 shows a company’s commitment to its customers. It also creates brand awareness and builds loyalty. However, providing support around the clock can take a lot of work for small businesses. The cost of hiring additional staff, training overheads, and IT infrastructure upgrades can make it challenging to implement a 24/7 customer support model.
However, by using automation and connecting your systems, it can be easy to create a seamless, automated process that supports your customers when they need it most. This is known as the “Follow the Sun” model, allowing your CX teams to work across multiple time zones. As one team’s day ends, the next team begins their shift and picks up where the previous team left off.
Detailed Analytics
The furniture, art, and collectibles in your style make a house feel like home. A good Windows personalization tool can offer you the same satisfaction with your computer.
It’s possible to personalize your PC in many ways — change the appearance of icons and fonts, customize keyboard shortcuts, tweak the Start menu, or set up a screen saver that displays photos or slideshows. You can also customize sounds for new email alerts and low-battery notifications.
Personalizations are saved to a database and applied when logging on to a managed endpoint. You can view your usage data and reset feature callouts from the User options page by selecting Personalization on the Action pane. The Import tool lets you load personalizations from a file you or someone else created. And the Clear tool clears all personalizations for a page. However, the underlying page remains interactive. You can still expand or collapse the Related information pane, switch tabs, and expand or collapse sections.
Integrations
Every business has many different systems and applications. Integrations help coordinate these tools and applications to share data. This enables companies to automate processes, reduce the need for manual work, and boost overall productivity.
Depending on your needs, integrations can be custom or out-of-the-box. Out-of-the-box integrations are user-friendly and can be deployed almost instantly. They typically fulfill standard business requirements but are less flexible than a fully-customized integration.
For example, software integrations allow teams to use one interface to create tasks (known as cards) and track progress from start to finish. This eliminates the need for duplicate work and increases collaboration. Integrating your software systems can also ensure they use clean, consistent, and accurate data. This is essential for business efficiency and growth. Ensure that your integrations adhere to the best data ownership and privacy practices so you can trust them over time.
