BigContacts offers a number of reporting options that allow you to track anything from general activity, tasks, to your sales pipeline.  The most common reporting tool that our subscribers use is the Advanced Search function.

As many of you know, there are essentially two outputs when generating a report using Advanced Search.

1. You can choose to export your list to excel
2. You can simply select the "Find Contacts" button to display the list directly in the system. 
   
   This option can very useful as it not only displays your filtered list of contacts right there in the system, the names listed are all "hyerplinked".  This allows you to select any name on the list to be brought directly to their contact record within the system.
   
   For those of you that are power users, here's a productivity tip ---If you right click on any given name, it allows you to open the contact record in a new window or tab.  You can work the contact, update information, add notes, send an email, etc.  When you're done with this record simply close that tab or window and you are right back to your filtered list.  You can quickly work your way through a list of targeted contacts using this method.

So what's new with this function?

We have just added the ability to sort the list using any column header.  Simply hover over and clcik on any column header in the report that you have created and the system will sort and reverse sort any column that you choose.  Every time you click on the column header it will reverse the sort for you.  

This is yet another small but effective tool that we hope will increase your productivity when using BigContacts.
