Use TopLeft in a ConnectWise Custom Menu Entry

TopLeft boards can be embedded in ConnectWise Manage as a custom menu entry so managers and technicians don't need to leave ConnectWise to use it. They also don't need to log into TopLeft, as TopLeft uses authentication data provided by ConnectWise.

For more information on custom menu entries, review the ConnectWise documentation.
