Introducing GoldMine 2015.2

Officially announced last week with lots of fanfare, GoldMine has released 2015.2. Though we have yet to complete our own rigorous testing process, we have been getting far too many inquires about this exciting new release not to create a blog post. That said, this seemed to be a good time to make our own announcement regarding this new and exciting version.

WHAT’S CHANGED IN GOLDMINE 2015.2

Changes made since the GoldMine 2015.1 release; changes made in monthly 2015.1 hotfixes are included.

GoldMine Web

  • Contact Search uses the operator ‘begins with’ instead of ‘contains’.
  • On Contact list, Company field does not link to primary website.

Diagnostic logs for GoldMine Plus for Microsoft Office (Word and Excel) are now user specific. To enable logging:

1.  Open the appropriate location to create folder and file for logging:

a. Enter %appdata% in Windows Explorer address bar
OR
b. browse to user’s appdata folder – typically C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming

2.  Create folder GoldMine
3.  In the GoldMine folder, create new text file and name to OfficeLink.log
4.  Launch GoldMine and Office to gather logs as needed.
5.  Once troubleshooting is complete, delete the GoldMine folder and OfficeLink.log

 

WHAT’S FIXED IN GOLDMINE 2015.2

    NOTE: Following upgrade, one copy of emails displaying this behavior will be retrieved. This copy should not be deleted as it will be seen on further retrieval attempts and will prevent the download of more duplicate copies.
