Watch Video: How to Add Personal Connections Glances

Read Full Transcript

Glances empowers members to seamlessly add their personal connections for apps. This groundbreaking feature, aptly named "Personal Connections," brings a whole new level of customization and accessibility to our platform. Today we’re going to briefly explain the difference between a team and personal connection and how to add your own connection.

First, let’s walk through how to find these connections. Log in at glances.com and click on the app you want to connect. If the app doesn’t appear along the left, it can be added by an admin on your team. Admins can add apps by clicking My Apps and then by clicking Connect More Apps. Simply adding the app allows for members to add personal connections. Now let’s navigate to the app we want to connect.

Team connections are best used when you want to use one connection to ensure all team members have access to the data they need. This may be to reduce seat costs, share data more broadly, or to simplify your app ecosystem. By default, new connections added by the admin (such as when starting your trial or by clicking Quick Connect) are team connections.

Personal connections are best used when team members have data unique to them they need to see. For example, a team member who uses Asana to see their assigned tasks or a team member who uses QuickBooks to view upcoming invoices assigned to themselves. Personal connections are perfect for calendars, tasks, projects, and personal work assignments.

To add a connection, simply click the plus sign and walk through the authentication steps. If you no longer need the connection you can remove it by clicking the gear icon on the tile and selecting to delete the connection.

The flexibility of team and personal connections ensure broad data access, while still allowing teams to cater to individual needs and preferences. Ready to begin? Visit us at glances.com and start connecting!
