Outlook Customer Manager
Outlook Customer Manager, a new Office 365 service, helps small businesses track and grow their customer relationships right within Outlook. It gives a complete view of interactions with each business contact, helps track tasks and deals in progress, and surfaces timely reminders—all next to your inbox. Outlook Customer Manager will be available at no extra cost to Office 365 Business Premium subscribers – beginning with those in First Release program and continuing worldwide in the coming months. It is turned on by default allowing users to access it in one-click from the home tab in Outlook 2016 for Windows, and includes a mobile app. Learn more at – https://blogs.office.com/2016/11/14/introducing-outlook-customer-manager-relationships-made-easy-for-small-businesses/

Column Filtering and drop-down menus
As a database it is useful to be able to filter the data you input. It is currently possible to filter for the pre-determined columns, but not for user created columns. In addition for user created columns it would be useful (similar to some of the pre-defined columns) to be able to select a drop-down menu and pre-define the choices of text entry.
17 votesWe have introduced the ability to filter by user created columns. We are working on more types of custom columns.

Share contacts with Microsoft Bookings
I've recently started using Microsoft Bookings for my business. It would be great if there could be syncing of contacts/companies between the two.

Make it more reliable.
Many times it fails, or pops up that it is not available yet to me (even though I was using it earlier in the day). Also, make things autosave so you don't accidentially navigate away.
14 votesWe are investigating this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Can I delete a column such as "Shared with" under the Business Contacts tab? Also, can I add a column such as "Phone Number"?
Adding and Deleting Columns
5 votesYou cannot delete default columns. You can add new columns (see add new columns in each list). We will look into adding phone numbers to the default columns. Also you can move columns with drag and drop, so you can move Shared with to the end, if you want to.

Would you ever add support for ProPlus?
Would you ever add support for ProPlus? While we're a larger organization, I could see internal uses for this product.
6 votesWe are working on enabling larger organizations, that have E3 or E5 licenses. This will also enable internal scenarios.
We are not planning to support Pro Plus, as we are building on top of many Office365 Services such as Email, which are not included in these licenses. -

Could there be a global per tenant option to disable OCM?
It would be really nice if OCM could be disabled per tenant instead of having to powershell it away similar to the snippet below I just did:
# create temporary AccountSkuId to apply to all O365 BP users
$x = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId "domain:O365_BUSINESS_PREMIUM" -DisabledPlans "PROJECTWORKMANAGEMENT", "O365_SB_Relationship_Management"
# find all licensed users that have O365 BP and apply the new profile
Get-MsolUser -all | Where-Object {$_.isLicensed -eq "True" -and $_.Licenses.AccountSKUid -eq "domain:O365_BUSINESS_PREMIUM" } | Set-MsolUserLicense -LicenseOptions $x
# verify
(Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName someone@somewhere).Licenses.ServiceStatus1 voteWe currently have a bug. You can remove/ disable the OCM license from the admin center, which currently doesnt remove the add-ins from the users. We are working on fixing this. In the meantime you can work with support by disabling the license and then send us the list of users you disabled it for, so we can make sure the app is disabled. hope that helps.
