Some of your best leads can come from your partner's neighbor's brother, for instance, or your assistant’s best friend’s boss. How do you keep track of complex relationships that involve multiple contacts and don't fit neat categories? (Was the president of Hot Big Company Joan’s son-in-law’s sister or Joan’s son’s sister-in-law?)

The Associator addon for ACT! allows you to add an unlimited number of free-form associations between contacts by adding a new tab to the contact details window. This addon is embedded inside ACT!'s easy-to-use interface, so there’s no need to run multiple applications or launch external programs. Once installed it seamlessly updates the contact details view by adding a new tab. This contact management addon for ACT! is a must have for any power user.

The Associator addon for ACT! allows you design your own custom social networks by using tracking two way associations that you can customize. It also enables you to track other details, such as which contact is the parent, and which one is the child or which ACT! contact is the client and which one is the customer. You can also customize networks that apply specifically to your profession or business, such as caregivers in a geriatric practice or regional distributors in retail.

Here are some additional feature you get with The Associator for ACT!.

Featutres unique to The Associator 

• Social Networking: Use The Associator you can create social networks for each of your contacts.  Instantly know their Wife, daughter and sons names. 
   
• Free Form Links: The Associator is a free form linking system. You can link any contacts together regardless of the state of each contact.
    
• Interface: The Associator adds a new tab to the Contact Details window allowing you to create associations between contacts. It displays the contact in any order and with any number of columns. You can even set the sorting order independent of the group. i.e. Group by association type like Teacher/Students and sort the list on the students name.  
   
• Ease of Use: The Associator builds on ACT's internal 'Select Contacts' window by adding the 'Select Association Type' section. If you have used this window in ACT then you can use our product. We maintain the strict adherence to ACT's interface
    
• Networking:  The Associator allows you to design your own association / network types.  Simple click on the [Edit Types] button to create ‘student/teacher’, ‘mortgagor/mortgagee’ or any type of association you desire.
    
• Remote Databases: The Associator tracks all the associations in a memo field in the contact table. This field is added the first time you launch ACT! with The Associator installed.  If you are running a 'remote database' your local ACT! does not have the privileges to add fields in the contact table.

Appearances and Formatting 

• Row or Card View: All of our lists support two styles of viewing: Row Style or Card Style. Row Style is what you expect in a list- a scrollable list of rows. Card Style is more in-tune with the Outlook business card style.  To change the layout style from card view to row or back click on the icon on the toolbar.
   
• ACT! Interface: All Durkin Add-ons are embedded inside of ACT!'s interface and use windows installer compliant standards. No need to run multiple applications or launch external programs once ACT is launched. All add-ons can be easily installed and uninstalled in seconds. You can even 'toggle' between our add-ons and ACT's native view simply by going to our "About" window and turning off the master switch.
   
• New Toolbar: The add-on toolbar is displayed at the top of each list or view. This new toolbar handles all of the additional features that are included with the product. You can also right-click on the list or view to expose our popup menu.
   
• Drag & Drop: You can drag and drop any column off the list to remove it.  You can also drag columns to the left or the right without opening any 'design' windows. These column positions will be automatically saved in your user preference files and you can have multiple column sets/layouts.
   
• Column Formatting: Users can change many properties of each column such as: Caption, Character casing (Upper/Lower), format string and input masks for phone number or Social Security numbers.  Some of the formatting options are independent of the ACT! Database, like the ability to truncate currency. ( $18,200 rather than $18,200.00 )  Users can also display math functions to generate totals and counts on the last row.
   
• Expanded Popup Menus: Our right-click popup menus support all ACT's native features and appends our new features to it. To expose these expanded menu features right-click anywhere on the list or view.
