Keep your life organized: with eDeskOnline's personal contact management
eDeskOnline lets you start building your contact list right away. You can manage your contact list, keep a task list of things you have to do, and have reminders about upcoming events.
- Manage Contacts: Keep detailed records on everyone you know - phone number, address, email, web site, birthdates, anniversaries, children, notes, and more. Using the Groups field, you can group your contacts into your own customized categories: family, neighbor, school, co-worker, etc. If an email or web site has been entered for a contact, with just one click you can send an email or visit their site.
- Plan Parties : eDeskOnline is the perfect tool to help you plan your parties. Simply create a group from your existing contacts.
- Tasks Reminders : Tasks reminders help you create and view your to To Do lists. Tasks can be assigned a Subject which is used to group, or categorize, your tasks. It can be set to go out as an email.
- Holiday Cards : Manage any bulk mailings/cards you send out each year. You can keep track of who you sent cards to last year and who sent you a card. You use the Printing / Envelopes screen to output the labels.
- Printing: Print phone lists, envelopes, and a variety of reports: contacts reports, party reports, task lists, etc.
- Your contacts stay online: view / edit your contacts ACROSS platforms, i.e. both on the computer and the mobile phone.
- Keeping the edeskonline site as your master: you can copy addresses to your mobile phone. So if you get a new phone, copying your address book can happen in a flash.
- Print mailing labels using a neat feature.
- Associate contacts to your projects.
- Alerts. As an administrator, I get an emailed alert the moment my staff edits or adds a contact.
- One step copying of contacts from mobile phones to one's edeskonline account.
- Maintain groups for sending interest-specific newsletters. A client had a list of 20 000 contacts. Now there was a wedding in the family. He wished to invite 1500 out of the universe of contacts. He created a group called invitees, then individually went to each contact form and ticked on group = invitees. Then a mailing label print was taken out of the 1500 invitees. This way no fresh data need to be inputted. During his next event; he will download these 1500 invitees again. In the meantime, his addresses will continue being maintained in the universe of addresses.
- Search contacts on different criteria: e.g. by name, e-mail ID, notes, etc. More focussed search is possible on multiple criteria: e.g. by inserting search strings in multiple fields. All one needs to do is to activate the page by clicking anywhere on the page. Then Press the S key. This opens the search box. The New Search Box will look same like in the Image Below. This will be helpful in case your Address-book is large and you want to search a specific name. The Search option will allow you to do so.
