Incremental Updates of Stockists & Products
This version of the software supports incremental updates to any
stockist and product data in the CRM platforms. Please note that
stockist is just a type of account in CRM terms and products in
this context are not the traditional product catalogs in CRM
platforms. They can be any custom objects repurposed for a
specific need.
Stockist visibility to Management
With this version, management hierarchy (such as Area Business
Managers who have reportees) can see stockists of his/her area
irrespective of sales lines.
Tags
Administrators can define tags and classify assessments using the
StoryPulse admin interface. User can now create, modify and
assign tags to various assessments. This simplifies the ability to
search for assessments.
6. Activity Creation Flag
Administrators can specify if an activity has to be created in the
CRM platform whenever an assessment is synchronized. This
gives flexibility to customers based on their business process.
Enhancements to Web Based Assessments
With this version, surveys can be pushed over the web to
recipients. Responses captured will be synchronized with back end
CRM platforms. As of this version, there is no ability to target web
based assessments to specific customers.
