Welcome to SEDNA Important Tab!

In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature, which is available to Pro and Enterprise edition SEDNA customers.

The Important Tab is a dedicated space for you to create a focused view by routing all important emails to a dedicated tab via four triggers.


Refer to this video for an in-depth explanation of Important View: 

Clicking the “Important” button in the Sidebar shows you messages from all Inboxes you have access to that are marked “Important” because they are:

• A message you have followed (indicated by the blue Following notch on the message tile), or
• A message that is tagged with a Contact or Job tag that you have marked as Important

Marking Job Tags Important

1. Locate a message in your inbox that is tagged with the specific job tag
2. Open the Tags panel by clicking the Tags icon in the Context panel

The Important icon will now appear on this Job Tag, and all messages in your feed that have this Job Tag applied will appear in your Important tag.
