BigContacts encrypts all data over the Internet using a secure SSL connection (HTTPS).  Our SSL Certificate is provided by the industry's leader in data encryption - VeriSign.  Our entire application operates over the secure (HTTPS) connection - ensuring that your data is properly encrypted and secure when traveling over the Internet.

We do, however use third-party Support Software that does not currently utilize the same HTTPS connection.  So, when you click on the "Support" tab within BigContacts, we are actually displaying an outside support program in an i-frame window. We use this as a convenient way to deliver our email and live chat support to all of our subscribers.

If you use either IE7 or IE8 browsers (Internet Explorer) they may display the following pop-up to you when moving between tabs as this one tab "Support" does not currently operate on an HTTPS connection.  (we are working to bring this software in-house and eliminate this issue all together.)

IE7 Pop-up Message

 

IE8 Pop-up Message

 

So how can you get rid of this annoying pop-up message that appears every time you move to another tab within BigContacts? Here's how it's done:

If you use the IE7 Browser

• Go to the Advanced Settings Section of your IE7 browser
  
• In here you will select the "Security" icon from the list of options.  This is the icon that looks like a lock
  
• Scroll down the list and look for the option labeled "Warn if changing between secure and not-secure mode"
  
• Un-check this option and then apply your changes
  

• Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
• Select the "Security" tab -> Click the "Custom Level" button
• In the "Miscellaneous" section change “Display mixed content” to Enable
• Save you changes and the pop-up is disabled

BigContacts offers a number of reporting options that allow you to track anything from general activity, tasks, to your sales pipeline.  The most common reporting tool that our subscribers use is the Advanced Search function.

As many of you know, there are essentially two outputs when generating a report using Advanced Search.

1. You can choose to export your list to excel
2. You can simply select the "Find Contacts" button to display the list directly in the system. 
   
   This option can very useful as it not only displays your filtered list of contacts right there in the system, the names listed are all "hyerplinked".  This allows you to select any name on the list to be brought directly to their contact record within the system.
   
   For those of you that are power users, here's a productivity tip ---If you right click on any given name, it allows you to open the contact record in a new window or tab.  You can work the contact, update information, add notes, send an email, etc.  When you're done with this record simply close that tab or window and you are right back to your filtered list.  You can quickly work your way through a list of targeted contacts using this method.

So what's new with this function?

We have just added the ability to sort the list using any column header.  Simply hover over and clcik on any column header in the report that you have created and the system will sort and reverse sort any column that you choose.  Every time you click on the column header it will reverse the sort for you.  

This is yet another small but effective tool that we hope will increase your productivity when using BigContacts.
