Filtering List Views and Automation criteria made easier with updated drop-down format

When you’re filtering a custom list view or adding criteria to a workflow automation in Insightly CRM or Insightly Service automation, the dropdown containing field options is now organized into a Standard Fields section and a Custom Fields section.

Address details now auto populate and auto update when creating a quote for an organization

When creating a new quote, the Organization Name field will auto populate to the organization associated with the opportunity.

Manage files stored to Insightly CRM with a new file list view

Users can upload files to Insightly CRM using their Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive accounts or by uploading the file directly from their computer. Files stored to the CRM are linked to a record under the related tab and can also now be managed from a file list view where they can edit, delete, download, or replace a file. This list view is also where users can now bulk delete files. This enhancement is available to all users within Insightly CRM.

Quote Name is now auto populated when creating new quotes

When creating a new quote from an opportunity, the Quote Name field will auto populate as the opportunities name and the quote number for the opportunity. For example, if the quote being created is the second quote for an opportunity named My Opportunity, it will automatically be named as My Opportunity 2.

Save time creating and sending quotes with clone functionality

When multiple quotes with similar details are needed, a quote record can be cloned rather than manually creating similar quotes. When a quote is cloned, the new quote displays all data from the original quote including custom field values. Once the cloned quote has been saved, the quote products from the original quote are copied over to the cloned quote and the cloned quote will be associated with the original quotes opportunity although any PDFs from the original quote will not be copied over to the cloned quote. This enhancement is available to all users on an Enterprise CRM plan level with Products, Price Books, and Quotes enabled.

Administrators can now choose which page users will be directed to upon opening a custom app, which dashboard will appear on the home screen, and which list views will load by default for all objects within the custom app. This update is available to Enterprise-level CRM customers using Custom Apps.
