MasterMine v4.0 Improvements
1. Simpler interface:
Easier to get started
Just select the area of data you want (main contact, pending sales, etc.) and go!
MasterMine makes full use of internal GoldMine logic to present information in the most
user-friendly way. Getting started with basic MasterMine analysis couldn't be easier!
Flexible selection of record types within Pending or History
Isolating on just "sales" or "calls and appointments" or any other combination is easy!
Field Selection is right up front
So you can include or exclude appropriate fields just by checking them on or off.
Custom Tabs & Profiles are automatic
Just select the profile to work with, and create a workbook that's built around it.
And you can define profile fields as Date or Numeric, for easier MasterMine Analysis
Filtering options are easier to access and use in combination
Everything is on 2 tabs: one for content selection, one for filtering. So all options
are available and self-explanatory from the start.
Editing the SQL statement before report creation is easier than ever
So SQL-savvy users can fine-tune queries BEFORE creating the workbook.
All of these advantages even apply automatically to previously-customized toolkits!
2. Use GoldMine Groups AND/OR GoldMine Filters for fast, flexible query pre-qualification
Pre-filtering by GoldMine Group (which you can easily create with MasterMine!)
makes for powerfully recursive analysis and data manipulation.
3. Opportunity Manager and Projects Toolkits
The functionality everyone wants, and no one provides -- until now!
4. Field Sort for Drill-down Screens
Now, you can easily control the order of columns in drill-down "list" reports.
5. Main and Additional Contacts
Combined into a single report for easy address and mailing list creation
6. Build GoldMine Groups using a selection of rows OR the whole drilldown screen
More flexibility in building GoldMine groups, gives you still more control!
7. Better Access to Job-related Toolkits
Like GoldMine Administrator, Sales Manager, Sales Tracking toolkits, etc.
Also, don't forget this v3.0 improvement
you may not have taken advantage of yet:

How can existing MasterMine customers upgrade and what will it cost?
MasterMine end users with Annual Maintenance may upgrade for FREE. Just download the current MasterMine v4.0 from this website, install over the existing software, and call toll-free
(877) 877-7212 for a v4.0 license number.
Users without Annual Maintenance may purchase an upgrade for 20% of the current equivalent-seat retail price of MasterMine in order to take advantage of the enhanced v4.0 features.
How are upgrades for 1-user licenses handled?
MasterMine's lowest-level "starter" pack includes up to three seats for $995. To upgrade MasterMine, you must upgrade seats at the same time to a minimum of 3 users. The cost is $995 minus 80% your previous software purchase. Typically, that's $995 - $399 = $596 for a v4.0 3-user license upgraded from an old 1-user license.
Users with 10 or fewer GoldMine seats should consider upgrading to a MasterMine site license for only $1200 minus 80% of previous software purchase.
What if my clients or I don't want to upgrade to Version 4.0 now?
a) Upgrading to v4.0, while extremely beneficial for the end-user (many of the improvements are in response to user requests), is entirely optional. No client is compelled to upgrade.
b) To keep receive updates most economically, keep your MasterMine annual mainteance current. Note that re-joining MasterMine maintenance costs twice as much as renewal if maintenance is allowed to lapse.
c) WARNING: If you download and install v4.0 over an existing licensed MasterMine, it will cease to function until the license is upgraded. MasterMine does not provide free services to restore ruined MasterMine installations.
