How many records in your filter?
... this is quickie as its been a long long day. Let me assure you, that while I am a big fan of Microsoft CRM, it does have its share of quirks just like GoldMine. Fortunately I left the customer in a happy state after applying a fix roll up and finding a couple of work-arounds. Implementing both GoldMine & Microsoft CRM keeps me grounded. When I get down on GM for this or that I can realize that software, like myself, is never perfect.
Now for our quick tip!
Filters in GoldMine let you segment your database based on any criteria in the top-half of the screen, fields tab, or summary tab, with the exception of e-mail and web site. This feature lets you do targeted marketing via email, letters, calls, etc. as well as global replaces, deletes, etc. against a subset of the database.
Here's a little tip if you want to know how many records are in a filter. Once the filter has been created and you are back at the Filters tab of Filters & Groups... Do a Right-Click | Count on the filter of interest.
After doing a count GoldMine will tell you:
1) How many records are in the filter; and
2) What % of the database the filter represents!
Happy GoldMining,
