On the heels of our update on Friday we’ve released another new feature—this one enables you to move top-level activities to a different page.

For example, you can now drag a tasklist, opportunity, note etc. from a contact to a company, from a company to a project blog, from one project blog to a different project blog…

Hover your mouse over the activity, click-and-hold on the Move icon, move your mouse pointer over a row in the results list or a tab at the top of the screen, release the mouse button.  You can target the current window or a different window.

Awesome awesome awesome.

This makes workflow templates that much better.

Now we can handle the entire sales cycle and then the actual workflow of the service. This update is huge for us.

Awesome!

I would also suggest a follow-up feature:  hold a key to copy rather than move the item.  Would be handy for occasions when you want to duplicate less than all the events on an ad hoc basis.

This looks fantastic, but I couldn’t work out how to go from a contact to a project blog. I’m running a mac.  I tried opening another window with a project blog, but the file did not drop into place in the new window.I also tried dragging it up to the main bar at the top and hovering over the project blogs tab, but it not open up the project blog area.  I fear I am being quite stupid.  Any clues?

Sweet feature!  I was just about to put in a feature request for exactly this. Nice work and thanks for the screencast as well.

Excellent!  Solves a major need for me (especially until I get more disciplined with my processes!).  Thank you!
