Ever wanted to find someone by the contact's creation date?
“I know I created them yesterday, what was their name!?!?â€
Here’s how: First go to Lookup | Indexed Fields | Accountno.
Accountno is how GoldMine uniquely identifies each contact record. For our purposes the first 6 characters are important as they denote the creation date in a YYMMDD format. So, for a record created on June 1st of 1999 you'd type in 990601.
Year 2000 posed a challenge and to maintain continuity in the ordering FrontRange decided to use an A0 to represent 2000, A1 to represent 2001, A6 to represent 2006, etc. So for a record created on June 15, 2006 we'd type in A60615.
Cool eh? I don't use this a whole lot but there are those days that this is a life saver!
Happy GoldMining!
