New idea on Activities and Histories

[#1]

An ACT! Certified Consultant recently suggested the following feature:

Since a History typically begins as an Activity, why not just display Cleared Activities in the History tab, rather than having to Remove Cleared Activities with the Tools > Database Maintenance?

And you would also be able to see manually created Histories as Cleared Activities on the Calendar.   Print the calendar, and you've got a graphic Weekly Progress Report!

What do you think?

Good idea. We were just discussing this issue today. 

It seems to be un-necessary duplication to keep a cleared activity and then create a history. Just keeping the cleared activity seems like a simpler approach.

The first would require some thought regarding recurring activities.

But manual histories being in the cal would be nice

This idea has been re-thought, re-worked and reposted HERE:
