The GM+View, introduced in GoldMine 6.0, can display relevant information about the contact you are on from just about any web site out there.
Here’s a great one for finding more about any contact in GoldMine. If you were to Google “Chad Smith” you’d likely find a whole lot about the drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers… That’s not me, in case you were wondering. So this GM+View uses email address instead of name to identify a contact.
To set this up go to File | Configure | GM+View or Web | GM+View in GoldMine Premium Edition. Note: You do need Master Rights to do this.
Then click the New button.
Type in the Template name, e.g. Map Quest, then click down into the white space below, then click on the <H> button in the upper right. This allows us to tell the view what we want to display.
Note: If your <H> button is grayed out it indicates you’re using a version of GoldMine below 6.70.70226 with Internet Explorer 7.0 installed. Uninstall Internet Explorer 7.0 or, better yet, it’s time for a GoldMine update.
After clicking <H> you’ll see some HTML code… Highlight all of it and delete it.
In its place copy and paste this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
function redirect()
{
window.location = "http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=<<&emailaddress>>&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f"
}
setTimeout ("redirect();", 0000)
// -->
</SCRIPT><META content="MSHTML 6.00.6001.18203" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY leftMargin=1 topMargin=1 rightMargin=1></BODY></HTML>
Then choose Save & Exit.
Click OK from the GM+View Tab Settings screen.
Now, within the GM+View tab you can quickly find out more about your contact!
