About Contact List Plus addon for ACT!

The Contact List Plus addon for ACT! toolbar is integrated into the ACT! native interface, providing easy access to most of the features. A pop-up window activate with a right click exposes all the options. The contact management addon for ACT! is a must have for any power user.

Without leaving the contact list view, you can edit, add color, make calculations, change the order of columns, group contacts and export the list directly to Microsoft Word or Excel or XML or HTML files. You can also export the list to Excel with color—with one click.

Contact List Plus addon for ACT! offers two ways to view your tasks—in the traditional ACT table layout or card style.

Here are some additional feature you get with Contact List Plus for ACT!.

 

Features unique to the contact view in ACT!.  

• Advanced List Management: Contact List Plus adds a variety of powerful features to ACT's native contact list to help you efficiently manage your contacts. When you install Contact List Plus you'll immediately experience a more detailed list that uses powerful list management tools accessible on our toolbar.  
    
• Appearance and Colorization: You can define color conditions that are applied to all of your contacts at all times. Display all "Customers" as green or State="New York" as Blue. You can quickly design your own color rules. These color rules can be easily turned on/off with a click off the mouse.
   
• Saved Queries: Displays your saved lookups and queries for quick access.  These queries are displayed on the screen at all times, you just have to click your mouse once!
    
• Saved subsets:  Allows you to save the contact list exactly like it is displayed on the screen even if you are currently looking at a tagged subset.
   
• Column Sets: Display annual date fields like Birthdays or renewals right on your list. Print it, sort it, and filter it. It’s your data!
    

Tighter Data Coupling with SQL

• Data mining: You can define simple or complex conditions that can be used to filter, format, group, tabulate or find rows which conform to any criteria. All these features together help you analyze data from different perspectives and summarize it into useful information - information that can be used to increase revenue, cut costs, or both.
   
• Math Functions: Sum or count values in a column directly on the screen. No need to run complex reports. All add-ons support math functions built into each column like displaying the group counts "State: NY (11 contacts)" or currency total "Totals for  Sales Team Alpha ($156,000)". These functions can add totals and counts at the bottom of each column of any field using aggregate function including: Count, Sum, Average, Min, Max, StdDeviation, ValueCount.
   
• Deeper data integration: All of our add-ons have deeper data integration then the native ACT! list. For example: we display the actual notes text rather than a simple icon;  all the contact names are listed on an appointment rather than "<Multiple Contacts>" and we can display more than 10 users at one time on the Task List and Calendar View ( a limitation in the current ACT! 10 product).
   
• Expandable Data: Most Durkin add-ons lists support expandable rows to display secondary information like any contact fields when viewing the task list or product names when viewing an opportunity. Viewing this data on screen is not possible in ACT! And can only be obtained by running a complex report.  Our lists not only display this information but also print, export, subtotal, format and sort it.
   

Appearances and Formatting 

• ACT! Interface: All Durkin Add-ons are embedded inside of ACT!'s interface and use windows installer compliant standards. No need to run multiple applications or launch external programs once ACT is launched. All add-ons can be easily installed and uninstalled in seconds. You can even 'toggle' between our add-ons and ACT's native view simply by going to our "About" window and turning off the master switch.
   
• New  Toolbar: The add-on toolbar is displayed at the top of each list or view. This new toolbar handles all of the additional features that are included with the product. You can also right-click on the list or view to expose our popup menu.
   
• Appearance: The add-in offers many advanced formatting features that will give you total control over how data is displayed. Cell, and Row Level conditional formatting can be done effortlessly using "Color Rules" like "IF Id/Status = 'Customer' display as GREEN".
   
• Drag & Drop: You can drag and drop any column off the list to remove it.  You can also drag columns to the left or the right without opening any 'design' windows. These column positions will be automatically saved in your user preference files and you can have multiple column sets/layouts.
   
• Column Formatting: Users can change many properties of each column such as: Caption, Character casing (Upper/Lower), format string and input masks for phone number or Social Security numbers.  Some of the formatting options are independent of the ACT! Database, like the ability to truncate currency. ( $18,200 rather than $18,200.00 )  Users can also display math functions to generate totals and counts on the last row.
   
• Expanded Popup Menus: Our right-click popup menus support all ACT's native features and appends our new features to it. To expose these expanded menu features right-click anywhere on the list or view. 
   

Features unique to Durkin Add-ons

 

• Multiple Layouts: You can design and save multiple column sets/ layouts. You then can quickly switch between these "Column Layouts" by a simple popup list. Create an save your own sets for reporting or exporting.
   
• Color Rules: Add color to your list with simple rules. Color rules are automatically applied to all the rows matching the rule.  Colorize rows like 'Prospects to be called'. Extract hidden information like 'Decision Maker(s)' in ‘New York’.  Cell, and Row Level conditional formatting can be done effortlessly using Color Rules (Format Conditions)
   
• In-line editing: Our in-line editing feature is on ALL of our add-ons including Opportunity List Plus. Our in-line editing support “built-in” editors like: Textbox, CheckBox, Calendar DropDown, Combo* and DropDown Controls. The dropdown are prefilled with user defined list values from ACT!.  Never go back to the details window or double-click to open and edit window to make a simple date change again. Edit any value with one click or toggle edit mode on and off.
   
• Advanced docking: By using our movable filter panel feature, the user can easily auto hide or dock any panel, permitting better use of the application workspace.  Panels can be hidden or stretched to the height of the screen, or moved and docked to the left or right for easier access. In our Task List Plus add-on you can display all users just to the side of your list. Now you have the instant ability to select more then 10 users and see who is selected!
   
• Dual Monitor: Did you ever want to drag your calendar or opportunity list to your second monitor? Now it’s possible with our add-ons. We support dual or multi monitored hardware configurations. 
   

Sorting, Group & Filtering

 

• Sorting Data: Sort your data up to 4 levels deep directly from on your screen, while displaying a grouped condition that is filtered by an unlimited number of fields.  Try running that as a report.  And you can do it in seconds!
   
• Grouping: Group similar rows together using our group feature while sorting and filtering in real-time. This feature gives the ability to organize information and report on that information in an effective manner. Groups support sub-totals and record counts.
   
• Filtering Row: All lists have a simple yet very effective filter row at the top of the list. This row allows you to quickly search on multiple conditions from the top of multiple fields. Filters can be saved and re-applied. Some of our add-ons have additional filtering capabilities like Opportunity List Plus's ability to filter on Product Name or SKU numbers.
   
• Tag Mode: Now that you have selected the perfect subset, you can tag and un-tag  to create a lookup. If you want to select multiple rows to export that do not share common lookup criteria, use the tag mode to create and save your own exported lists.  Contact List Plus has the additional functionality of saving that subset to be recalled at a later time.
   

Document Production
 

• Merging documents: Some Durkin computing Add-ons come with an enhanced word processor called Verb. This word processor allows the users to merge any additional information onto a document. This information can be from the Company, Groups, Opportunities or Activities tables. This is an excellent feature when trying to merge the 'Company Address' onto an invoice or quote .
   
• Additional Templates: In our Opportunity List Plus product Verb allows the users to select from a user-defined list of templates, not just the 'quote.adt' template supplied with ACT!  You can now have "Quotes Internal" versus "Quote" and each template will have its own formatting and merge fields.
   

Printing & Exporting

 

• Print in Color: Print your lists and calendar in color. Our print functions easily achieve WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) printing of the active list or view in ACT!
   
• Export to Excel: One button export to Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, HTML or XML formats. Simple click the 'Export' button and give your export file a name.  The new export file will auto-open in the program of your selected format. (XLS, DOC, HTM or XML).  This a very handy when coupled with our tag feature.
   
• Row Height: If you are displaying a large note field the add-on will automatically increase the rows height to display all the text. User can also change the height of the header caption. (Not available on all add-on yet)
   
• Row or Card View: All of our lists support two styles of viewing: Row Style or Card Style. Row Style is what you expect in a list- a scrollable list of rows. Card Style is more in-tune with the Outlook business card style.  To change the layout style from card view to row or back click on the icon on the toolbar.
