History items JustinB 4/13/2007 6:16:01 PM Is it possible to get the History Items back on the main screen for a business contact? It sucks having to open a business contact, then click on buttons to get the list of things I've done with this contact. I was much happier when it was all on the same screen. While I'm at it, can I remove this business card crap? I don't even want to look at it on the main screen. It seems useless to me.

Re: History items JustinB 4/13/2007 10:50:03 PM Sorry I was referring to the main screen of the business contact. Why do I need to look at the business card there? All the info is already on the screen. What's the point? I'm seriously tempted to go back to Office 2003. This new BCM was a big step backwards.

Re: History items Ed Marmon <unlisted[ at ].com.com> 4/15/2007 2:23:41 PM I'll throw a big "amen" to this one. click-open-wait-click-tab-wait- click-close... In most contact managers, you just pick a tab and histories are shown on the same screen as the front page of the contact, no jumping through hoops. Hostory is like a dashboard, or a trajectory of how the relationship is going with the contact. You need that when you call or email them, for your message to be in context and on-message. Why hide histories on some other screen? The customization of the contact screen is woefully underwhelming for such a great product. I would realy love this to be addressed as soon as possible. Look at any web design handbook on how to design a modern website. Limit clicks. Dont hide things. Then there's the warnings of how if one website makes you do 4 clicks for something another makes you do 2, the traffic of the 1st will drop just because these elemental access logistics. Why wouldn't all this apply to CRM software design? After all, I at least spend a heck of a lot more time clicking my contacts, adjusting them, accessing them, etc., than clicking websites.... =?Utf-8?B?SnVzdGluQg==?= <JustinB[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:A10355AE-85E6-4540-A077-71B3CC689D8F[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > > Sorry I was referring to the main screen of the business contact.

RE: History items sunorain 4/17/2007 9:54:01 AM Sorry, I have no solution for a problem, but can only confirm that this really "sucks", especially because of slow loading tabs including History. In business contact form this newly and "wisely" invented biz card could be kicked out and replaced by some kind of mini-History list. There's enough space on screen at any resolution. In Accounts form it could be easily done as well, though new longer list of business contacts in account form is advantage, I must admit. Unfortunately it's impossible to customize which columns to include it this subform list.
