Let’s explore the Cadences tab, accessible in your left-hand navigation bar! This will be your go-to space for running and managing your cadences. When applicable, you’ll see a blue dot next to the tab’s name indicating that you have cadence steps due today. Below, we’ll review the functionalities you can expect from this space.

Reviewing Your Cadences Tab Layout

When you click into your Cadences tab, you will find yourself on a landing page with cadences sorted into three different tables: 

1. Your Cadences: This default table includes all cadences that make up the cadence groups to which you are assigned.  
2. Favorite Cadences: This table includes all cadences that you have marked as a favorite. 
3. All Cadences: This table includes all cadences available across your organization, regardless of whether you are assigned to the cadence group or not.

Let’s dive into how these tables are organized!

Step 1. Review Your Cadences Tables

Each Cadences table displays cadence name, steps due for the selected date, constituent count, cadence duration (based on business days), and cadence group. Cadence names are hyperlinked; click on one to open an individual cadence!

Step 1a. Favorite a Cadence 

In your Cadences tab, you can designate which cadences are your favorites, making it easy to focus on the cadences that matter most to you. To do this, head to either the Your Cadences or All Cadences table and click the star to the left of a cadence name. Once marked, the cadence will also appear in your Favorite Cadences table. Click this star again to remove the cadence from your list of favorites.

Step 2. Review Your Cadences Calendar

Below your tables, you will see a calendar button displaying the current date. This date determines the numbers that appear in each table’s Steps Due column. If you want to look ahead at the number of steps due on future dates, click the calendar to change the date.

• Note: Cadence steps are automatically not scheduled to be due on the weekend. If you select a date falling on a Saturday or Sunday, no steps will be due on that day.
• Note: Cadence steps do not account for holidays, but you can change a step’s due date to account for this! 

Step 3. Review Your Cadences Settings Icon

In the upper-right-corner of your Cadences tab, you’ll notice a settings gear icon.

Clicking on this icon will take you to your EverTrue Settings page. Here, you can access the ability to pause cadences within the Cadences and Tasks settings tab (and manage Email and Phone Signal settings!).

Step 4. Review Your Active Cadences Toggle

At the far-right of each table, you will find an Active toggle. Turn this toggle on to show only cadences that have at least one step due on the selected date. Using the Active toggle will help you focus on cadences that require action for the given day.

Reviewing an Individual Cadence

You can dig into an individual cadence by clicking on its name from any of your tables’ Cadence Name columns. Below, we’ll take a look at what you’ll find once you’ve opened a cadence! 

Step 1. Review Your Cadence Calendar

On the top-left of your Cadences tab, you’ll see a calendar button displaying the current date. Cadence steps in need of earliest completion are determined by this date. If you want to look ahead at steps due on future dates, click the calendar to change the date. 

• Note: Cadence steps are automatically not scheduled to be due on the weekend. If you select a date falling on a Saturday or Sunday, no steps will be due on that day.
• Note: Cadence steps do not account for holidays, but you can change a step’s due date to account for this!    

Step 2. Review Your Cadence Step Counter

Beneath the calendar button, you’ll find a cadence step counter and progress bar. This counter tallies steps due for the chosen cadence on the selected calendar date. If you have any steps due for that date that have not yet been completed, they will populate here according to step type. As you complete cadence steps, these numbers and the progress bar will dynamically update.

• Note: In this counter, the cadence steps of Research Donor and LinkedIn Follow and Email or Call will populate beside the list icon. 

Step 3. Review Your Cadence Settings Icon

On the right-hand side of your opened cadence, you’ll notice a settings gear icon.

Clicking on this icon will take you to your EverTrue Settings page. Here, you can access the ability to pause cadences within the Cadences and Tasks settings tab  (and manage Email and Phone Signal settings within their respective tabs!).

Step 4. Review Your Cadence Steps

The majority of the page is dedicated to breaking down individual cadence steps. Remember, cadences are structured outreach plans that prompt you to execute specific steps on specific days. Think of these steps as your automated to-do lists!  

If there are steps that need to be completed within the cadence, you’ll see a progress bar next to the step that updates dynamically as steps are marked as complete. This bar tracks progress for that individual step, while the bar in the cadence’s step counter monitors progress across all of the cadence’s steps.

Reviewing Cadence Step Actions

Step 1. Review a Step’s Dropdown Arrow

When a step is ready to be taken for a constituent within a cadence, a dropdown arrow will appear to the right of its name. Clicking this arrow will reveal all constituents in that step, along with additional buttons that can be used to take further action (which we’ll cover next!). When the constituent data is available, details such as class year, constituency, and time zone will be displayed alongside each constituent. If a step is overdue, this will also be noted.

Step 2. Review a Step’s Three-Dot Button

Each constituent in a cadence step has a three-dot button to the right of their name, which can be used to access different step actions you can take. These actions fall under two categories: 

1. Contact: Access calling and emailing outreach features to connect with the constituent. You can learn more about these step actions in our article, Running a Cadence.
2. Cadence: Access cadence management features that enable you to move the constituent to other cadences or remove them from the existing cadence, edit their step due date, or skip the step. You can learn more about these step actions in our article, Managing Your Cadences.

Step 3. Review a Step’s View Button

Each constituent in a cadence step also has a View button to the right of their name, which can be clicked to preview constituent details without having to navigate to their profile. Here, you’ll find insights like:

• Gift History: Preview a constituent’s most recent giving history.
• Pinned Comments: Review a constituent’s most recent pinned comments, or add a new pinned comment.  
• Interactions: Review a constituent’s most recent interactions, or add a new interaction. 

• Note: When available, you will also have access to the constituent’s LinkedIn profile link and household member information from this preview screen.
