Tool for managing Groups... or at least add a "Last access date"

[#1]

This idea comes from Brian Jonas' post in another forum: 

Group Last Accessed Date
Many customers have upwards of 5,00 to 10,000 account/contact/opportunity groups. I just did a count and found that we (The Seattle Times Co) have 2,200 groups, with 1,470 of them being account groups. Group creation gets out of control due to users creating lists but seldom taking the time to delete old groups. The administrators can purge some lists but for most groups we don’t know what can be safely deleted other than unshared lists created by retired users, and the ones the Administrators created.

In our implementation (v7.0.1), one serious impact of having so many groups is demonstrated whenever I log into the client as the Administrator. Since that login sees all the groups, it can take up to 5 minutes to open up to the list view.  I can’t imagine how long it takes other customers their groups!

In the CAB meeting I suggested that a field be added to the Architect that is a time stamp of the last date the group was accessed. That would really help us purge out the dead groups! There was a lot of vocal support to that suggestion – I hope it is possible for Sage  to create.

Great idea Brian!

That's an interesting idea.

What would really help is to add the same (group) level filtering to the Windows/LAN product that the web has. This would significantly cut down on the number of groups in a system
