  You can also pick out your favorite channels and add them to the Favorites main menu, system tray menu and/or Sidebar for quick access.

Tasks Pane

The Tasks Pane brings together Awasu's most commonly used features into one place.

The first page gives quick access to Awasu features, the second page to your favorite channels, reports and workpads.
