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/

Add troubelshooting ways
When it works, there is critical data. Contacts, Deals, but there is no clear indication of the Customer Manager's with Groups in the cloud, where the data is backed up or how to access CM data in the cloud. When it breaks there is not indication of the service being up, down, or how to retrieve the data.

How to change GUI language?
Simple question, how can I change the language of the GUI?
4 votesOutlook Customer Manager shows you the language of your Outlook. If you change the language of Outlook or Office in general. Outlook Customer Manager will change. We support a wide range of languages, but when we don’t we will fall back to English. What is the language you are looking for?

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.
30 votesWe have introduced the ability to filter by user created columns. We are working on more types of custom columns.

Make User Added Fields searchable.
It is a great to be able to add User Defined Fields to the Database, but without the ability to search on those fields, the feature is only half cooked.
3 votesWe have updated our service – custom fields are not filterable.

Provide an Import Funtion for Journal Items
I'm working to get a client to upgrade to Office 2016 and to subscribe to Office 365. They've been using the Journal feature of previous versions of Outlook to track client activities and have created a number of custom columns to suit their business. It would be a deal clincher to be able to import that data.

Mobile apps for Windows Phone
You state the mobile app is available on ios only. Maybe you could see if you could create an app for Windows phones! Some people (I know only a few) use Windows phones and it may come in handy for people who actually commit to the windows platform.

Bring this to Office365 Home and/ or Outlook 2016 for individuals
I use Office 365 as I have no need or use for a Business version as I am a 1 man operation. For years I had used Business Contact Manager and like many others was upset it wasn't kept going for Office 365. I have been waiting for something like this to come out but then to only find out it was only for Office Business Premium. I have no need for all the extra stuff thus my reason for the version I choose. Please tell me there is something in the works for 1 person small businesses.

Link Multiple Contacts to Same Recurring Calendar Event Without Invite
Please provide the ability to link multiple contacts to same recurring calendar event without having to send an invite to each contact. Also, please add the ability to do this from within the Outlook Calendar window without having to go into OCM to create the link.
In general, linkage should be allowed to be made from within Outlook and not just within OCM.
Thanks! This program rocks.
