Welcome to the Ideas Forum
I have an idea! Let's not take out features and functions that users have gotten used to!!!
10-29-2009 03:47 PM
Here's my first feature request for the next ACT!:
Please try not to 'lose' anything that's been in ACT! 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.
For example, please don't 'lose' the Group selection drop-down that was in the upper right corner forever.
Losing features = losing credibility = losingcustomers = losing revenue = losing partners.
Stupid me! I thought that would be self-evident!

Kevin, you might have a look at the list of similar items I posted here: http://unhub.com/Tb-b
Some of these (like 2 and 3) have been fixed in hot fixes
ACT! Product Manager, Katharine Stalcup, has provided some comments on some of these in the thread

I am with Chieff on this one. Some of the suggestions I will be posting here shortly relate to features and capabilities that I had on my very old version of ACT! that I just migrated from. Why go backwards?

I agree. Why change or omit a feature that is in an earlier version. Some of us use these obscure features, then when we upgrade, they are not there. So it causes me to ask myself "Why do I upgrade?"
Stop omitting features, just keep adding and improving on them.

Hi, Kevin: The View Groups/Companies functionality has been added back into ACT! 2010 SP1.

Katherine, that's great news. I think the new UI is just fantastic - lookups have never been so easy - it's so intuitive - people who are upgrading love it, and the Web Info tab is actually generating oohs and aahs - it's been a long time since I've heard oohs and aahs. Getting the History button along the Big Easy buttons is huge - it makes it so obvious.
Getting the Groups/Companies back in will eliminate a big sticking point.
Thanks to Prod Eng'g and Prod Mgmt for making this happen.
Kevin
