+ | This is a full featured interface to the system and is good for bulk management tasks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You probably won't use the web page as much after you implement the browser plugins and mobile apps, but it's very good for performing organizational tasks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Browser Plugins ==== | ||

+ | If you sit in front of a computer, this is what you will probably use most. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can also use the browser plugin on mobile devices. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Mobile Apps ==== | ||
