Since the Search Tool within My Business is identical to the Advanced Search Tool found in the CRM section you can drill down to very specific types of information. You have the ability to customize your icons and bring the searches you perform most often to the main area of your toolbar, show more or less icons within your search filter.

Please note that your screen resolution will allow you to show more or less icons on your search Filter. If you are having trouble seeing more icons try increasing your monitors resolution to be able to view more search options in your search filter.

Below is an example screen view of the structure of the Search filter and the flexibility of the iconography. Simply click on the icons that you search with the most to bring them to the main search bar.

When you have specified the necessary details of your Search then click the Search icon. Your results will be displayed on the right side of the screen. Search results will be displayed with the graphic analysis at the top of the page and then detailed contact information displayed by Category and related field just below the graphic analysis.

You do have the ability to structure the format of your results within My Business in the same way that you can structure which heading information is shown in the Flyout Panel. Dragging and dropping the choices above the fields as well as right clicking for options within each field gives you the ability to structure the format of your Search Analyses.

You will also have options to Print and Export to Excel the results of your Search.

Sales - Sales analytics within My Business gives you the ability to create specific Searches based on your User Access Settings. If you are a CEO you will have the ability to view all sales activity within your organization.

Below is the view of Search options for Sales within My Business.

The structure of the Search results can be modified based on the information you need to see. Below is a screen view of the Heading information displayed in Sales. The topics or controls you see in the lighter and darker blue areas can be dragged and dropped to either side of the menu.

In addition each topic control can be right or left clicked for more options. The left click option will reveal options specific to that control.

An example of what you will find when you right click any of the controls is shown just below.
