Q: Can I create custom reports?
A: Custom report templates can be created using the Prophet Reports Wizard and modified using the Reports Designer. The Wizard allows you to start with one of the existing report templates and add, remove or re-order the report fields. The Designer allows you to add graphics, add or modify report text and modify text fonts in custom templates only. The data generated by the standard report templates that ship with Prophet can be fine-tuned by modifying any filters that apply to that report category. The data generated by any report template can then be saved in multiple file formats or printed.
- Use a current report template such as Account Sales and change the filters that drive the information on the report. Save the filters and report as a unique report.
- Use the report designer to start with a current template and alter the template using the report designer. Fields, actions, titles and pictures can all be added or edited in the designer.
Q: How do I get my ACT, Goldmine or other data into Prophet?
A: Several ways exist now to import ACT and GoldMine data into Outlook. You can check the ACT or Goldmine partner site for products that migrate to Outlook. Once the data is imported into Outlook, it is therefore also in Prophet. Won’t it be nice when you don’t have to worry about this?
- Outlook includes an import/export wizard that can bring-in tab separated and comma separated values. Depending on how your ACT! or GoldMine files are configured, you can use this utility to bring in specific data.
