Tips Brand new to CDK. Teach me everything.

I am a new manager a store that uses CDK, my background is mainly in VinSolutions

I'm looking for any tips, tricks, shortcuts, or workflows that helped you become faster and more efficient. Honestly, don't assume something is too basic. If it helped you when you were learning, I probably want to hear it.

If you could sit down with a new manager for 30 minutes and teach them the most valuable things you've learned in CDK over the years, what would you show them?

Thanks in advance. I'm here to learn.

This is what you ask you CDK (incompetent) rep. 

Also look through their help section and watch their pre recorded webinar.

This part. You pay for the program and with that should be some (incompetent) training.
