Please add the option to change the date format to DD/MM/YY.
In Australia we use the date format DD/MM/YY as standard.
It is very confusing to be using Outlook in the email or calendar module with our standard date format and then to switch to OCM and have to deal with the dates in a MM/DD/YY format.
It is essential that the date formats match across these modules.
Thank you.92 votes -

Develop Printable VIEWS that allow Paper files of "COMPANY" and "CONTACT" details section and the "notes" section from current interfaces!
Develop a 1 page PRINTABLE view including all "Details" data and all "Notes" so that a paper file can be created for individual records - "CUSTOMER" or "CONTACT"! IE: A "snapshot page" similar to what could be printed from individual files in BCM!

Make Outlook Customer Manager available in Outlook Online (Outlook Web Acess)
With Office 365 Online apps and Dynamics 365 etc. It would make sense to make Outlook Customer Manager also available for Outlook Online. For example like a slide in form the right like Skype or Delve info.

Add iPhone X support - various functions don’t work
The start-up process is painfully slow and various functions don’t work. For example, there is no list of actions when you use the ‘+’ option under deals and the camera screen doesn’t activate when you use the ‘scan business card’ option under contacts.

CRM tools need to include company name.
When I import contacts to Customer Manager from the Outlook contacts list, "company" is not included. The field is blank in Customer Manager, even for contacts where company was input in the outlook contacts list or inbox. Company name is a key piece of info for a CRM tool to track, and Customer Manager should include it when provided. It should also update dynamically back and forth as changes are made in the Outlook customer list and/or Customer Manager.

Duplicate contacts
We are getting duplicates of all contacts in OCM.
The extra contact seems to lack information regarding company or deals, but it is a hassle and creates confusion for the users.

Add sub-tasks
Tasks linked to customer contacts are good, but the ability to have tasks AND subtasks would be great.
Our manufacturing company frequently works with customers on multiple projects that run in parallel. Each project has one to two dozen discreet tasks associated with it. Each task would represent a project overall. Linked sub-tasks would represent what needed to be accomplished on each project.
We don't need the complexity of MS Project but we need more than one level task lists (or the one level task list with check boxes in the Office 365 Planner).
I discussed this issue 20 years…

Changes to contacts and companies should save automatically
When you are making changes to contacts, companies, deal, etc the values should save automatically. As a user, we are getting to where we expect the values to be saved whenever we type something. Too often in OCM does creation or saving fail and if things saved automatically that would add to our piece of mind.
