As Apple's Technological Official Partners, at ForceManager we are committed to Apple's yearly improvements that come along with each new version of iOS and iPad OS.

In line with our philosophy, which consists in simplifying how sales representatives report information and how fast they can access it, we have developed 3 major improvements for iOS 15:

1. Live text, which you can use to identify text fragments with your iPhone's or iPad's camera and enter the text on any ForceManager field. You can now copy and paste hand-written notes and contact details from a contact card.

2. XL-Widgets, so you can visualize all the relevant information at any moment without having to get inside the app, such as your goals or your calendar. Plus, when the time of a meeting is arriving, you'll be able to use the same Widget to check-in, see the route or access a Zoom or Teams call.

3. Performance, for which we have reduced ForceManager's app battery consumption by 30%. Now more than ever, ForceManager keeps up with you, so you never have to stop.

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?
