The GM+View tab, introduced in GoldMine 6.0, can display relevant information about the contact you are on from just about any web site out there, including searching LinkedIn to easily find the contact on the social networking site.
To set this up go to File | Configure | GM+View or Web | Setup 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. LinkedIn Search, 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.linkedin.com/commonSearch?type=people&keywords=<<&contact1->contact>> <<&contact1->company>>&search=Search";
}
setTimeout ("redirect();", 0000)
// -->
</SCRIPT><META content="MSHTML 6.00.6001.18203" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY leftMargin=1 topMargin=1 rightMargin=1>One moment please... Accessing Linked
In</BODY></HTML>
Then choose Save & Exit.
Click OK from the GM+View Tab Settings screen.
If you have several GM+Views you can access the different views by right-clicking in the GM+View tab for GoldMine 7.0 and below or using the drop down on the upper-right side for GoldMine Premium.
