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. 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 and copy the number shown in the browser address bar after “id=”.
UTWITTER contains the Twitter username, without the “@” symbol.
