I've been working with Slx for a few years now, and it would be great if there was a way to clone accounts and contacts. For example, there are often separate divisions of a company at the same location, some with separate opportunities relevant to the divisions. It would be great if a user could just clone an existing account (just the mainview info) and change any particulars as required.
Also, I do a LOT of testing before a Slx modification can be implemented, and it is pretty tedious to create dummy contacts and accounts just for testing purposes.
Thanks,

This is typical customization that many of us BP's do for our clients. It's that way because nobody'd Account/Contact/etc.. entities (parent/child tables/fields) are ever the same.. nor are the business rules (for cloneing) ever the same.
One thing we do quite often is build out a clone Opportunity.
SalesLogix (nor ANY other crm package) will ever have all you want OOTB - impossible. I come from a former CIO's point of view (w/SalesLogix and other systems) as well as a Partner. As long as it's customizable, that's really what counts at the end of the day
