We just need a list with a button that goes, “Next contact” → user experience workflow should be fairly obvious. We all want a button that doesn’t require us to park, back up, and then drive forward every single time. That doesn’t make sense. That’s a lot of clicks. Reduce the amount of clicks to get to the next action item. An ML feature that can predict a users behaviour would eventually be an awesome premium feature. If you need an ML team on a contract basis, let me know!

Definitely want this idea to be a feature! Our last CRM, which was so outdated and not user-friendly, even had this.

I would be happy with a simple keyboard shortcut to move to the next record.  
This should apply to all objects (contact, company, deal, task, etc..) and lists.

related to this “next button” post, there was this post which hubspot seem to have archived:

[https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CRM/Where-s-the-Next-Button/m-p/391730](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CRM/Where-s-the-Next-Button/m-p/391730)

Moses from Hubspot live chat tells me it might be because they are working on it:

Over 3 months has gone by and still nothing. Hubspot according to your team member it is probably because you are implementing it. If it isn’t being implemented, why have you hidden the post? @NWeiksner @egogz @shaneshown92 @dsavage @jlnovotny @PZ4

Hi there,

The post has been unarchived. In an effort to keep our content up to date and easy to find, archiving outdated content is part of our ongoing moderation efforts - because of the huge amount of threads, some that are actually relevant may have been mistakenly archived, which was the case here and I’m sorry for the frustration caused.

In the future, if there is a post you believe shouldn’t have been archived, please feel free to submit [this form](https://form.asana.com/?k=gE8n2NxdpWMjmReDYLIf2g&d=8587152060687). Thank you.

However, this post lives in the Ideas Forum, which is the one the Product Team monitors, instead of the other post I unarchived which is a forum post. To consolidate this, I am going to merge the forum post to this Ideas post for more clarity.

Thank you

Best

Tiphaine

I want a Next Contact or Next Company button really badly. Is there such a thing on Hubspot? I go through my companies and contacts personally and need to go through them in an organized fashion. In my last CRM, I’d click Next to get to the next contact or preferably the next company. In Hubspot, I either need to open multiple tabs and flip between them, or click back to my company list and pick the next company down, etc.

It’s a list. I want to go to the Next Company or the Next Contact on the list. Is there such a button?

HI. @georgealistair _Next_ buttons do not exist in the CRM. Great suggestion though. Can you add this as a [post to our ideas forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/ideaslandingpage) for further comment?

Thank you,

This seems like such a basic feature. Having this next button would definitely help so much!

I genuinelyl don’t know how this isn’t a feature yet…it’s been a request for 3 years, but hasn’t been made? This is extremely expensive and a time suck for my sales reps. They’re non-stop complaining about it. They’re resorting to building google spreadsheets to make their life “faster” which is counterintuative.

Hi Hubspot team,

Seeing as this enhancement was requested three years ago, do you listen or care about customer feedback? A simple “Next button” would be a simple and valuable enhancement.

I’m just bringing our organization onto Hubspot, but seeing this is discouraging.

@georgealistair while there is no next button, you can get that functionality by putting all of the records you’re working with in a task queue. You would have to create tasks for each record, but the task queue does give the “next” functionality.

Hope that helps!

I think hubspot is really incredible so far but this is one of those things that can make this software very very limiting. Ive got to be honest here for someone paying as much as i am now for a new software you would think makeing a simple next button would be easy enough and for my business this is a huge problem. Make a next button and have it as an option please.
