Karbon's Contact Lists Got Faster and More Flexible

Karbon's contact lists now have adjustable columns, sticky headers, jump-to-page, and in-line search. A few controls moved, too.

What changed

My Contacts, People, Organizations, and Client Groups now have:

  • Columns you can reorder, hide, and resize (look for the slider icon next to the record count)
  • Sticky headers, so the paging controls stay in view at the bottom of a long list
  • Jump-to-page: click the page count and type a page number
  • In-line search that keeps your place
  • Faster loading

The Karbon contacts table with its column settings menu open and highlighted by a box. Email Address, Phone, Contact Type, Planned, In Progress, and Waiting are all checked.

A few controls moved, too. You download the bulk contact update file from the three-dot menu, but you upload it from the drop-down next to Add contact.

The Karbon contacts table with the menu beside Add Contact open and highlighted by a box. It lists Import from Office 365, Import Client List, and Upload Bulk Contact Update File.

The Karbon contacts table with the three-dot menu open and highlighted by a box. Under Export it lists All Contacts, All People, All Organizations, and All Client Groups. Under Update it lists Download Bulk Contact Update File.

Checkboxes next to contact names now show without hovering, which makes bulk actions (such as creating engagements for several clients at once) easier to find.
