Description
InFocus provides what many Microsoft Outlook users are missing: good tracking capabilities. All company-related information is stored in the contact form and can easily be accessed. Most Outlook items can be tracked: calendar, tasks, e-mail, and notes. Share this information with all network users. Directly merge contact information in your company Word templates and keep track of them. From now on, you will be able to keep track of all your activities and documents related to your customers.
Review
This Outlook add-in keeps you focused by tracking documents related to your projects. You use it by clicking the Track button when composing or reading a letter in Outlook, and the add-on creates a copy of all tracked items in a special folder. InFocus comes with a Word template that can import contact information from Outlook and that stores file information in the InFocus tracking database upon saving. You can create your own templates by changing this document, and you can view all letters, documents, notes, contacts, and tasks associated with a company or project. However, severe stability problems kept us from fully evaluating this program. The add-on disappeared after we relaunched Outlook, and the Help and Track buttons stopped working. We also noticed a large discrepancy between the advice in the help files and the functionality of the program. We advise testing InFocus with caution.
