info@pendoric.co.uk
1 / 1 06 Jan 2009
This is a problem that keeps re-occurring. if anyone could help, it would be great. I have a lot of categories and contacts on BCM and after working with individual contacts for a while the whole list of contacts disappears from the screen and then I have to click back into Business Contacts and find where I was before. Is there a limit on the number of contacts you can have and...

Hi Here is an odd one. I have created a new contact and want to add my email history (both in and out) to that contact. I have isloated the emails. I click on Email Auto-Link.

IMPORTING DATA INTO BCM FROM EXCEL
John Hawker
2 / 2 05 Jan 2009
I had to do something similar. First of all, if you have imported the data already, open the Biz Contact card and click on User-Defined fields on the Ribbon Bar. During the import, it is possible BCM created the missing fields and populated them. They only show up under User-Defined view Otherwise, you need to create the user-defined fields for some of the info you want to capture....

Removing Follow up flag
Steve
1 / 1 05 Jan 2009
I know that there are many complaints about the ability to use follow up flags with BCM. My issue is a variation on the theme. I set a follow up flag on an opportunity, and then complete the follow up. Marking the flag "complete" appears not to remove it (just removes the date due); I can't delete the flag without removig the entire entry for th opportunity. Any thoughts anybody?...
