I miss my old contact management ACT by Sage and may have to go back to that or something like it. So surprising to learn they bothered to add custom fields finally so for instance I can log a client's Balance Due, or their kids, my student's names. But why did I bother to enter those custom fields in each and every contact if exporting my list and importing to MailChimp for instance doesn't bring those fields over? I can't even do a simple merged letter utilizing those fields because they aren't exported. What a FAIL! There should be a way to create custom fields that are global to all of my contacts or specific groups, not just the contact you are on. How lame to have to create the custom field for every single contact. But then it's invisible anyway because it exports no where. And where are all those fields that DO export and show up empty in my export file? Let me at them please with a page down for instance on the contact form so I can utilize them. Have been fighting to make gmail work for over 2 years very disappointed in gmail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-65823973980407745732011-05-16T13:19:42.658-07:002011-05-16T13:19:42.658-07:00WE NEED ADDITIONAL LABELS!!!WE NEED ADDITIONAL LABELS!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-15765932645317089922010-12-14T00:23:40.412-08:002010-12-14T00:23:40.412-08:00I support "obsolete" email addresses and...I support "obsolete" email addresses and phone numbers feature.

The one thing I can't stand is the absolutely lousy state of Contacts. As someone else said in one of the forums Palm did this better 10 years ago.<br /><br />1. Another in a long list of request for distinct name fields. Yes there are different cultures with different setups but they can be addressed with multiple fields. <br /><br />2. The ability to SORT based on those distinct fields. That my choice is to find everyone by first name (30 different Steve's) or to "fool" the design by doing Last, First is ludicrous. <br /><br />3. Prioritize the e-mail addresses. If Gmail is going to insist on listing e-mails then it's got to get them up there in the right order. (And why oh why when I delete a thread do they think that means I want my Sent folder touched is a complete mystery as it acts as proof to myself that I sent the damned thing in the first place.)<br /><br />I felt like I jumped from 2000 to 2015 at first (with the phone) and then back to 1990 with these gotchas. It keeps their communications apps from being in the pro level.Rich Heimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104731962650965253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-87951450769432441932009-10-08T14:27:50.093-07:002009-10-08T14:27:50.093-07:00Would be great to see the most recently added cont...Would be great to see the most recently added contacts. If I have 300 contacts last week, and today I have 310, I don't know which is newest, so I haev to go through the full list to see if I need to merge new contact info, so I think a sorting feature would be great. Sort by day added, birthday, alpha...<br /><br />It would also be nice to compare the diffrences between groups, for instance... If I have 310 All Contacts and 300 My Contacts, the 10 that are not accounted for would be useful to see.<br /><br />Otherwise, it is really really great.
