We are excited to announce that the newly improved ForceManager Add-in is now available for Outlook! This new Add-in allows you to have your CRM information within your inbox, so you can save time and be more productive.

The ForceManager Add-in for Outlook provides you with integrated information and context. When writing an email, you will be able to check and refer to any details you need without leaving the email's tab, such as an opportunity's status or related documents.

You will also be able to create new contacts and accounts as soon as the Add-in identifies an email address not included in your ForceManager's contacts list, as well as edit any that already exist.

If you're using Outlook, we recommend that you download and install the ForceManager Add-in so you can take advantage of all the features it has to offer!

Install it now!

The brand new Validation Rules are already available, and they're going to be your best allies to maintain a clean and homogeneous data base.

These Validation Rules verify that the data introduced in a specific field are compliant with a series of prerequisites. Some examples of Validation Rules are texts that cannot contain spaces or capital letters, a number that must belong within a specific range, or even a credit card number, which must be valid and real.

This is why Validation Rules are especially useful for fields such as Email, Web,  Credit Card or even Passport Number, among many others.

All Validation Rules can be configured and applied to the corresponding fields in ForceManager Admin. Once activated, a user won't be able to save information that doesn't satisfy the criteria stated by the admin, and a warning message will be shown.

Are you an Admin and you want to know how you can start using Validation Rules?

We have radically improved our accounts filtering experience offering better customization options. You can completely adapt them to your needs, making sure that the most valuable information is always at your fingertips.

Until now, the experience using Quick Filters was fast and intuitive, but not all fields were available. From now on you can:

• Add any filter you need: you will be able to completely customize which filters appear on the section, no matter the amount of them (no limits) or if they are standard or custom fields.
• Order them the way you want: by reordering the filters on the Quick Filters section you decide how you want them to appear on the screen.
• Use the same filters the next time you log in: you will be able to find active the filter status you set the last time you were connected, so when you log in again you don't have to redo your previous filtering.

To optimize your day-to-day, now you can edit your opportunities without accessing the detals! You can modify or add data from the opportunity card itself.

• We have added the "creation date" field and the Probability in your opportunities details.

We have also added new features and other improvements in Android version 3.47:

• Now, you can view your opportunities according to your personalized views in Pipeline format.
• We have added entity type filters (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities) to the application filters.
• We have improved how the text fields are displayed. Multiline fields are shown on a new screen, so they are easier to read.

As June comes to an end, we want to share a brief summary of our latest improvements that will continue to add more value to your company. These updates are made with one clear objective: for you to maximize and get the most out of ForceManager CRM:

• New view for opportunities. Visualize your opportunities in pipeline format to have a 360 view of the status of your accounts. Read more.
• WhatsApp Integration. Now, you can communicate faster and easier with prospects and clients. With this new ForceManager and Whatsapp integration, you are a click away from your clients! Read more.
• New filter in the tasks section. Now, you can filter tasks by completion date. Plan your daily and upcoming tasks in a matter of seconds. Don’t lose track of any of your clients, and effectively monitor and follow up on each stage of your sales cycle.
