Bring Back Macros

Status:

by on - last edited on

I have recently migrated from a very old version of ACT! to the latest 2010 premium version. Over the years I spent a lot of effort automating my ACT usage by building a whole series of macros for common functions and assigning toolbar buttons to them. Imagine my surprise when I find out I couldn't build a macro anymore with ACT 2010!

Please bring back the ability to record macros and allow them to be assigned to custom toolbar buttons and menu items.

Thanks for the feedback, Ralphmack. In ACT! 2011, we've added a feature called Smart Tasks. This will allow you to create a series of activities, emails and ACT! E-Marketing actions that will trigger once the criteria you've defined in your database has been met.

Automating activity entry

For most of my Act! work, I enter an activity, usually a to-do, then clear it and add a follow-up. There is so much repetition that macros would be a great help--we use Act! 2009, v. 11. Also, a macro would help when entering a new contact 'cause the cursor always goes to the address field, and I typically like to start at Contact--small detail, but that's the way things are arranged & a macro correcting cursor placement would help (unless there's an easier way). Thanks!
