New Features and Small Enhancements

Scheduled Reports

Report Scheduling allows you to automate the sending of reports via email based on a schedule. For each report, you first choose the schedule from the available options. For each report, you first choose the schedule from the available options and then set up the email that the report dataData Data is a set of quantitative and qualitative facts that can be used as reference or inputs for computations, analyses, descriptions, predictions, reasoning and planning. should be attached to. You can base the email on a templateTemplate Template is a generic file with a framework showing the standard sections or features of a specific kind of document, used to create a new document of the same type faster and easier. and/or use personalization options.

You have a range of choices for the format that you wish the report to be sent in and can even enable password protection for sensitive data. Finally, if your report is being sent to Pipeliner users, you can schedule a follow-up task for them directly from the Reports Scheduler!

Automatizer Improvements

We’ve taken some of the Automatizer processes we use ourselves every day as well as scenarios that customers ask about and have turned them into an incredibly useful set of Automatizer process templates. These are going to be invaluable to help you get started with using Automatizer as you can review the templates and choose those where the business case works for you.

Click on a template and then the “Create” button to create the process for your space and you can then modify the suggested flow in the Process Editor or simply Publish “as is” and start using.

Click on the Templates tab to see All or choose from one of the Categories to see all the associated templates.

In our standard processes, we’ve added the ability to update only primary related records rather than all records — you’d use this option to update just the Primary AccountAccount Account refers to a record of primary and background information about an individual or corporate customer, including contact data, preferred services, and transactions with your company. for an Opportunity, not all linked Accounts, for example. You can now clearly see if a manual process has been applied to a record as we’ve added the Last Run Date into the Automatizer widget.

Report Improvements

For most of our customers, reporting is a critical feature in Pipeliner and so, in this release, we’ve focussed on some significant enhancements to the way that you can structure your reports to give you a 360° view of your data.

There are two main options that you can choose between when adding additional relationships to your core reports:

• Reporting on Aggregated Data for the related record type (entity) — Aggregation gives you totals of numeric/currency fields only
• Reporting on All Data for the related record type (entity) — All gives you all data you select for the related records

Let’s use a simple example of an Accounts-based report to which we want to add information about Opportunities linked to each Account. We would add Aggregation of Opportunities to our report in order to see the total value of Opportunities linked to that Account (we could filter just Won Opportunities if we wanted to).

We would change the Aggregation of Opportunities to All Opportunities in order to see a row for each Opportunity itself and can pick which fields to be included. If there are multiple Opportunities linked to one of our Accounts, we’d see one row for each Opportunity with the Account details repeated. You can group your data and display charts based on the related records you include in your report.

Here are some more cool new report ideas!

• “All Products sold this month” sorted by Account and Opportunity
• How about “This Month’s Meetings with Account details”

NOTE: You will need to create brand new reports (not copy an existing report) in order to access these new relationships.

Products Improvements

We have created a variety of different improvements to our Products & Pricing functionality. Now you can add photos directly into your Products. Insert images already saved to your computer, or by using an image URL.

Additionally, you can add images using the Products Import and mapping in a Photo URL for each of your Products:

• Sort the order of Products within an Opportunity ProductProduct Product refers to anything (an idea, item, service, process or information) that meets a need or a desire and is offered to a market, usually but not always at a price. Table by using a simple drag & drop. This feature might be useful when using Document Templates and you want to explicitly have it sorted in the order of your Quote.
• The new “Automatic Opportunity Value Update” allows you to create Opportunity Value as read-only so it automatically updates according to the Total Amount of your Products. This way you are not rewriting values between Opportunity Value & Product Amount.
• The Excel / Google Sheets Add-In now comes with a Product Table option, allowing you to pick from all Product / Product Line Item Fields. This means you have a lot more capability when building quotes and proposals using the Excel / Google Sheets Add-In.

Various Improvements

• Additional Custom Date formats when importing data — You no longer have to prepare your data to meet a specific ISO date format but can select the date format used in your file from the most common standard date options when choosing your CSV file settings. The new choices are:
