| VMI Web Import |
| |
|
| The objective
of VMI Web Import is to allow direct data input from
an HTML web form into GoldMine via an Active Server
Page (ASP) script written in Visual Basic (VB Script).
The standard GoldMine approach uses a CGI script that
creates a MAILTO item that sends an e-mail message with
the data. When the message is read via the GoldMine
e-mail reader, GoldMine recognizes the message and imports
the data. If a computer is not constantly monitoring
for these e-mail items, then there will be a delay in
having the data available within GoldMine. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| The primary advantage of VMI Web Import
is that the data are entered directly into the GoldMine database
from the web form via the script; this makes the data immediately
available from within GoldMine. An additional advantage of
VMI Web Import is the use of VB Script as the processing tool.
The VB Script uses the GoldMine Application Program Interface
(API) functions specifically those developed using the Component
Object Model (COM) technique. These procedures use and enforce
the GoldMine "business rules" governing how data are entered
into GoldMine which provides a very rich and powerful tool
for processing the data before, during and after they are
entered into GoldMine. |

|
| Pricing |
| |
| Basic: The cost of VMI Web Import is $495
which includes the software, documentation and up-to two hours
of telephone / e-mail / instant messenger / facsimile support
to be used for installation and configuration issues within
the first 30 days of purchase. |
| |
| Expanded:
For a price of $1,995, your organization will receive the
same base forms, script and documentation as above along with
the following services: |
| |
 |
Up to
eight hours of consulting services to review your GoldMine
build (Fields, Views, Lookup table, Lookup.INI, Automated
Processes and other relevant GoldMine procedures) to
identify those components and processes that can be
captured by the form and processed by the script. |
| |
|
|
To
re-work the HTML form to capture the additional fields
using additional text boxes, check boxes and/or radio
buttons. The revised form will typically include your
company logo, custom messages, desired background color,
etc. |
| |
|
|
The
installation, configuration, testing / verification and
briefing on the management of the form and script data. |
| |
|
|
These
eight hours will tech support via of telephone/ e-mail /
instant messenger / facsimile support to be used for
installation and configuration issues within the first 30
days of installation.
Any
thing over 8 hours will be charged at our standard hourly
rate.
|
|
| |
|
The
objective of these services is to deliver a single customized
form and script that is similar in scope and performance to the
one Vertical Marketing customized for itself. The expected
number of components that can be added to the base form and
script are: |
| |
|
Any
remaining fields on the Main Contact screen (including the
5 Key Fields) and up to 20 User Defined Fields |
| |
|
|
Up to 3 Additional
Contacts |
| |
|
|
One
"SELECT" statement that, based upon such values as State,
Zip Code or another value entered onto the form, updates
one or more Key or User Defined Fields (e.g., when State =
"NY" then update Key1 with the code for the assigned sales
rep for that state); these are the same kind of updates
that are available via the GoldMine "Lookup.INI" file |
| |
|
|
Up to
15 GoldMine component additions (Scheduled Activities,
Completed Activities, Referrals, Additional Contacts or
Detail Records) |
| |
|
|
| |
Note: the form does not "read" the GoldMine
Lookup tables values due to fact that the form does not interact
with the GoldMine database until the Submit button is clicked.
However, the Lookup table values can be included for the text
box fields on the form with the understanding that additions
or subtractions to the values of a given field in GoldMine
must be manually changed on the form as well. As part of the
installation, configuration and management service, we will
show you how to add and subtract these values on the form. |
| |
Additional customization work for the form
and script beyond this threshold or for work on the development
of additional forms and scripts is available from Vertical
Marketing on a time and materials basis. |
