As most of you have come to expect and appreciate, we test every GoldMine release on our own LIVE GoldMine database for a minimum of 30-days prior to posting its release. That said, GoldMine 9.2.1.92 has been working flawlessly for us since mid-December and we are ready to endorse it for all our installs and upgrades.
As we had been waiting until the release of 9.2.1.92 to endorse the 9.2.x series, this post will combine the benefits of both 9.2.1.x and 9.2.0.
WHAT’S NEW IN GOLDMINE PREMIUM EDITION 9.2.1
- GoldMine Premium Edition now supports Microsoft Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise editions.
- GoldMine Premium Edition now supports Microsoft Windows Server 2012.

- Facebook Contact Search shows Facebook profiles matching a contact’s name

An Import feature is now available at Web | Setup GM+View | Import to enable the new GM+View templates to be added to an existing installation. These templates are available through Drivers and Downloads at www.frontrange.com/support. After a template has been imported, it will be available to users through the GM+View tab. If you do not see the GM+View tab under a contact record, go to Tools | Options | Record | Tabs and check “GM+View”. Then open a contact and click the down-arrow button that is on the row of tabs beneath the fields area (see below), and select “GM+View”.
When viewing the GM+View tab, you can select a template using the drop-down list shown in the upper right corner of the tab area.
During the upgrade, the following new fields are added to the GoldMine database: UFACEBOOK, ULINKEDIN, and UTWITTER. These fields track the corresponding identifiers for contacts using each of these services. Administrators can add these fields to a contact fields view by right-clicking and selecting New Field, and then selecting one of these fields from the drop-down list.
- UFACEBOOK contains the Facebook username. To find the Facebook username for a contact, view the contact’s profile page in Facebook and copy the text displayed in the browser’s address bar after “www.facebook.com/”
- ULINKEDIN contains the LinkedIn ID. To find the LinkedIn ID for a contact, view the contact’s profile in LinkedIn & copy the number in the browser address bar after “id=”.
- UTWITTER contains the Twitter username, without the “@” symbol.

[GMShowSyncLogging]ShowLogging=1
ShowLogging=0: logging is off (default)ShowLogging=1: logging is on
