CardScan Executive Features

CardScan makes managing, finding and reaching contacts a snap. Assign contacts to any of the scores of business categories provided, or create custom categories of your own. Find contacts as you type your search criteria with CardScan’s QuickSearch feature. Use the de-duping wizard to eliminate duplicate records. Print labels to any DYMO LabelWriter, to most every other label format – or print directly on envelopes. Just click to call any contact, to send email to single or multiple contacts, or to generate a MapQuest map for any contact location.

Use a PDA or handheld? CardScan’s ability to synchronize with these and other devices makes it the ideal contact management hub.

In addition to all these great features that CardScan has offered for years, there are a number of new features in CardScan version 8 that make managing contacts even easier.

 

NEW! Navigation Bar

Spend less time looking for information – and more time acting on it. Just click to quickly locate any contact or group of contacts, by name or category – or to find recently changed records, verified records, duplicates, and recent search results. You’re never more than a few seconds away from the information you need.


 

NEW! Export to iPod

iPod owners: Take your contacts with you, without investing in a PDA. If you have a new iPod with an address book function, simply export your CardScan address book to our new iPod template, and then load the template to your iPod address book. It takes just a few minutes – and puts your contacts at your fingertips, wherever you go.

  

 

  

NEW! Detect and display
an icon for your DYMO LabelWriter

Just click to start printing labels. If you have a DYMO LabelWriter printer, CardScan will automatically detect it and place an icon for it on the toolbar. Then just click the icon – instead of working through the standard Print dialog box – to print labels directly to the LabelWriter.

 

NEW! Choose your mapping service

Multiply your mapping options. Now you can map contact addresses using your choice of MapQuest.com, Google Maps, Ask.com maps, Expedia.com, and MultiMap.com.

  

 

  

NEW! Start CardScan by scanning a card

Scanning just got one step simpler. Now when you scan a card in your CardScan scanner, your CardScan software launches automatically (if it isn’t launched already) and processes the scanned card, ready for you to approve or edit.

 

NEW! Designate a CardScan File
as an Outlook Address book

Email CardScan contacts transparently from Outlook. Want to email directly to CardScan contacts via Outlook – but not go through the trouble of synchronizing your CardScan and Outlook data? No problem – just follow a simple, Wizard-driven process, and Outlook can “see” your CardScan contact names and email addresses just as it sees your Outlook contacts. So when you start to type any CardScan contact’s name in an email’s “To” field, Outlook will automatically finish entering the contact’s name and email address.

NEW! Improved List View

See as many contacts – or as much contact detail – as you like. Display your contact information in a multi-column list, or in windows showing basic contact information, detailed contact information, or all contact information for each contact. Or just click to show crystal-clear business card images instead.

 

NEW! Share contact files across your network (CardScan Team only)

Maintain a single, central, always accurate team contact store. With CardScan Team you can store contacts on a server, where multiple team members can access the contacts simultaneously – and where your sales team manager can control which team members can view or change contact information. This is an ideal solution for any sales team that wants to control access to contacts, and make sure everyone works with the same contact information.

NEW! Auto-detect Duplicates

Always know when you have dupes. CardScan now automatically detects duplicate contact records. Just click Duplicates in the new Navigation bar to see which contacts have duplicates; then click any contact to view both records, side by side, and correct or delete duplicates as necessary. Of course, you can still run the Duplicates Wizard to have CardScan sort duplicates into exact, compatible and conflicting duplicates.

 

NEW! Scan a new card
into an existing record.

Update any record by simply scanning the new card. Scan any contact’s new business card into the contact’s existing record, and CardScan automatically enters new data in the appropriate fields – and replaces the old business card image with the new one. No more creating a new record and merging with or deduping against the old one. It has never been easier to keep your contact information up to date.
