MasterMine is one of my favorite GoldMine add-ons… I have about a dozen MasterMine “reports” that tell me everything I need to know about my GoldMine database of prospects and cutomers.

MasterMine has recently re-designed their website and incorporated a lot of great new information on how their reporting, analysis, and data management suite can help your business take advantage of every opportunity hidden
within your GoldMine database.  Check it out http://www.mastermine.net and while you’re there, download http://mastermine.net/form-get-mastermine.php their full-featured 4-day trial version, and have one of their sales team walk you through it!  It’ll  make a big difference in how you use GoldMine!

March 15, 2009  (2009-E for GoldBox-7, GoldBox-SQL, GoldBox-5)

ENHANCED: Dedupe 1 GoldMine Table (GoldBox-7 and GoldBox-SQL only).  When choosing to COPY OUT the Dupes instead of deleting them, you can now select to include the Survivors (checkmarked).  Ideal as a Preview listing to open in GXBrowser.

ENHANCED: Config Screen for GoldBox-7.  You can select the Color and Highlight for all List Boxes in the system, including Global Selector, Query and Expression Builders.  You can also select the Left-Handed Mouse adjustment, which causes selector buttons to appear down the left side of the screen instead of the right side.

ENHANCED: CONTACT2 field type / conversion for Setups.  Logic was added to correctly handle fields added AFTER the RECID (typically RECID is the final Contact2 field), and to include conversion of some of the more exotic MSSQL field types, such as TINYINT, LONGVARCHAR, BIGINT, VARBINARY, SMALLDATETIME.  Please Note: The BDE Administrator is unable to fetch fields of the type NCHAR, NTEXT, NVARCHAR, SQL_VARIANT, UNIQUEIDENTIFIER and XML.

ENHANCED: Import / Update.  For Source table Write-Back at the Mapping screen, you can now choose to Add new fields without having to use a Q-file entry to Modify the Structure.

ENHANCED: Import / Update.  As a Write-Back entry, you can COPY OUT the Source table when the operation ends, without a Q-file entry.  For GoldBox-7 and GoldBox-SQL: Additionally, when auto-converting an ASCII / CSV / SDF file at the Import Setup screen for GoldMine, you can define an option to copy it out.

ENHANCED: Import / Update into GoldMine and Export from GoldMine.  At the Mapping screen, you can define direct SQL Queries into the GoldMine database to populate fields.  Ideal for including linked values in an Import/Update or Export, or for fetching Totals, Counts, Minimum/Maximum values.  A QUERY button will appear at the Expression Builder.  See Help panel {DIRECT-MAP a GoldMine SQL Query}.

February 9, 2009  (2009-C for GoldBox-7, GoldBox-SQL, GoldBox-5)

ADDED: CalQprune() function.  Allows handling of Calendar Q records for blast Emails, by looking into the recipient’s E-mail Address record for pinpoint evaluation of the MergeCodes field.  Can be used in the Filter Expression for Global Delete, Group Builder, Export and Global Replace.

ADDED: E-Mail Address PRIMARY Normalizer.  Found at {Service } {Contact File VERIFIER, option L} and at {Import / Update of E-mail Addresses}.  In the Verifier, GoldBox steps through ALL Main Contact E-mail Addresses and ensures a SINGLE is flagged as Primary.  At the Import / Update, Primary flagging / un-flagging is dynamically handled, based on whether the incoming addresses are to be marked Primary or Non-primary.

ADDED: Opti-Sizer for CONTACT2 Fields (GX7 and GXSQL only).  Checkbox at Service / Config Screen.  May eliminate “Record Too Large” error for some GoldBox operations, when you have a VERY LARGE Contact2 table size (many fields, large widths on Character fields).  The TGT table is dynamically optimized if possible.  REMINDER: Contact File VERIFIER, option C, produces a report of Contact2 field usage for assistance in direct adjustments of the table in SQL.

ENHANCED: Export Utility.  You can globally replace a field in the exported table by using the Replace Field option at the Export Setup screen.  Use  ZMAILOUT->  as the table name and pointer.

CONTACT FILE VERIFIER:
For GoldBox-7 and GoldBox-SQL: You can now choose to evaluate all Character fields in the User-Defined Field Table (CONTACT2). GoldBox will list the fields, the designed width of each, and also the Longest Value found. This is ideal when you wish to trim down a CONTACT2 table with many unused fields to improve the table’s performance and efficiency. Often, a number of fields are initially added to CONTACT2, but then are never used. It also provides the opportunity to reduce widths on some fields, if desired.

Yes, The GoldMine Blog has a new look!  We’re now hosting at http://www.TheGoldMineBlog.com and are using WordPress (WP) rather than MoveableType (MT) as our blogging platform.

I’m not quite done with the new design but I wanted to get the January 2009 promotions out there for everyone, so while I still have some work to do, I hope you enjoy the new site.  Please feel free to post comments or email with any feedback.

Thanks!
