Delete the redundant history changed from... to ...

Status:

I really don't care what the old history said when I am entering info into "the Last Results", box but why do we need to reprint the previous last results and the new one.

It takes up too much space and looks sloppy in a report I receive from my sales people.

Just print out / display the "History" information from "Last Results" not from the previous ones.

Sample of history TAB:

7/28/2009 8:45 PM 0 minutes Field Changed Field changed Field Last Results changed from "test 1" to "test 2" (Who Cares) All I want to see is test 2!

7/28/2009 8:45 PM 0 minutes Field Changed Field changed Field Last Results changed from "" to "test 1"

Agreed...less is more. Could be a check box selection alongside the 'Generate History' attribute in Field Definitions so that a 'by field' choice could be made to not record the prior entry information

gleo,

I looked and saw nothing regarding not printing the previous history when adding a new history.

I'd go one stage further and include a filter so that I can filter out all Field Changed Results from History records.

Yet another ACT annoyance. Previous versions did not print our "field changed" from --- to Field changed to. Anyone know how to get thru to Sage and ask that they fix this and other annoyances???

This has been perhaps my biggest complaint other than how painfully slow Act still is. I will never upgrade again unless these issues are fixed! I'm on 2009 now and it really seems no faster than 20007 or 08. If anyone knows of a fix for this, please post it! Thanks.
