The Placeholder

It has happened to all ACT! users, and for some it happens many times a day...

You are cheerfully editing record number 778 out of 1014 in your ACT! lookup, and the phone rings. Being the client-oriented person you are, you quickly look up the caller's record. When the call is complete and your notes are entered, you return to your previous lookup to find yourself on record 1 of 1014. The obvious problem is how to quickly get back to the record you were editing before the call.

One solution involves an object with some weight placed on the page-down key on your keyboard.

Our solution involves a couple of buttons added to your ACT! toolbar, and is substantially more convenient. The buttons look like this:

When the call comes in, click the button on the left to save your place in that lookup. When the call is over, click the button on the right to return to the exact record you left off on. What a timesaver!

Enjoy!
