Article Summary

Folders allow you to organize shortcuts for different jobs or locations, etc. so users can easily find the ones they need.

Folders only display in Mobile Voice.
They do not appear in nVoq Voice or the nVoq Wireless Microphones.

Folders can be especially helpful for users who complete tasks in multiple work queues or job functions and only want to see shortcuts for that work queue or job function at certain times.
