We are excited to announce a new improvement to the recently released ForceManager's Outlook Add-in: the ability to report emails in ForceManager without having email synchronization activated.

This new feature enables users to report emails in just one click without leaving their inbox. The Add-in will detect the related records in ForceManager, such as the Account or Contacts, and will create the email as a new Activity.

This makes it especially useful for those who don't have email synchronization active, as reporting emails via the ForceManager Outlook Add-in is much faster and efficient.

With this improvement, users can now have emails reported in real-time and have all the necessary information at hand. This will help users save time, stay organized, and ensure that all emails are reported accurately and properly.

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.
