Okay, I've been forcing myself to use P3 since I'm working on recruiting, and I want to be able to answer questions. But ARGH. I've never been so frustrated with PP. I especially dislike the Tasks screen.

The old one, I could click on "First Call" in my task list, and it would pull up the contact information of the person I needed to call. It also showed the NAME of my contact in the list... i.e. "Suzie Host - First Call." This new one just shows a list of all the things I need to do... "First Call, Second Call, Followup, etc," but doesn't show the name unless I hover my mouse over it for a second. Then, when I click on it, and bring up the "Associated Contacts" screen, I CAN'T CLICK ON THE CONTACT TO BRING UP THEIR INFORMATION! Ohhh no, I have to close that window, then scroll down through my contacts list to find the person.

Add to that the fact that P3 seems to be a resource-hog, and bogs down my poor little laptop. (Runs okay on my PC, but I use my laptop more for business.) And it doesn't have as many reports features as PP, not even printing labels for contacts! I've added contacts since switching to P3, so I can't even switch back.
 
I do agree that they should have thought about adding more reports, or at least equivalent to PP before they launched it.....hopefully they will come, soon!
 
I'm running both - P3 is testing and PP is where my real stuff is. I'm hoping that I'll be able to do a full uninstall of P3 when they make changes that would encourage me to change and be able to re-install & import. Otherwise I'm going to be one unhappy camper.

Tasha,
Me too! I'm not switching over until everything is there! I've asked this question before but never got an answer....how long do we have before we have to use P3? There are so many features missing - I really don't care how NICE it looks - I want it to work for me, not against me!
 
I think there is probably a year or so....
 
I'm not asking when we will have to switch over. I don't want them to decide to come up with that date... the longer it takes for them to get all the bugs out of P3 the happier I'll be.
