Cues Web parts display a visual representation of your workload and give an overview of your remaining work items, such as sales leads or overdue activities, and other tasks that you need to complete. Cues are saved filtered views of form or list page information. When you click a Cue, the associated form or list page opens with the filtered view displayed.

You can specify which Cues to display and modify the properties of the Cue. You can also create Cues or modify Cue filters.
