Updates about our social CRM product and market

New Features. More Cowbell.

If our customers ask for more cowbell, we should probably give them more cowbell! Login to your team's account and really explore the workspace.

New in the Dashboard

  • Linking in the Publishing Zone of the Dashboard: By popular demand you can now "link to" and associate Tasks, Files, and Events to your Contacts, Projects, and Deals - right from the front-and-center publishing zone in the Dashboard as you input updates.

 

New in Social CRM

  • Google Buzz imports: This is just a little taste of what's to come with our Social CRM functionality. You can now enter a contact's Google username in a contact record and view his or her public updates within that contact's page within Bantam Live.
  • Tag List Export: To create special mailing lists or other purposes, this new feature allows you to do an export of your contacts (people and/or companies) based on a tag or multiple tag search that generate the list.

New in Task & Project Management

  • Colored Task Types: Now you can group "types" of tasks, and affix an associated color for a given type of task to easily view them in the Dashboard and task section.
  • Categories for Projects: To more easily collaborate and sort all your projects, you can now create and assign your project into various categories. Easy editing of category names, too.
  • Filtering Tasks: Who's doing what? In the task section, you can now filter all tasks by co-workers to view in numerous ways with a simple drop-down.
  • Filtering Projects: View your Projects alphabetically, by category, or by most recently viewed.
  • Icons for Notes and Comments: In the Task Widget in the Dashboard and in the Tasks section, you'll now see if co-workers have written a note or commented on a task.
  • Show/Hide Tasks in Calendar section: View (or hide) a right-side Task panel in your Calendar for a better view.
  • Linking Tasks to a Contact, Project or Deal: Now you're able to link tasks from either the publishing zone in the Dashboard, or in a Task Widget, or via the Task section.
  • Email Alert for Task Completion: Get an email alert when co-workers complete tasks you've assigned them.

New in File Sharing

  • Categories for Files: You're now able to create and assign "categories" for the Files you share and store in Bantam Live.
  • Linking Files to a Contact, Project, or Deal: Now you're able to link Files to any object like a Contact (person or company) Deal, or Project from the Files section or upon uploading a new file into Bantam Live.
  • Filtering Files: With this enhancement you can sort and view Files alphabetically, by category, by size, or most recently viewed.
  • Widgets for Files: Documents associated with Contacts, Companies, Projects and Deals can now be displayed in a widget on each of these object's pages.
