Salesforce.com Offline PDA Edition New Release

one comment

What better topic can I find for my inaugural blog post than annoucing a project that I have been working hard on in the past six months: we released a new version of Salesforce.com Offline PDA Edition (v2.5) to the world!

In this latest release, we added localization support and other features:

  • Language support for German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Brazilian Portuguese
  • Initiate and track e-mails and phone calls from within Offline PDA Edition (requires upgrade to 5.7 client)
    • If you have a converged PDA/Phone device tapping on a phone number in Offline PDA Edition will automatically launch the phone dialer and create a Task associated with the phone call
    • Tapping on an e-mail address will launch the e-mail client on your device and create a task associated with the e-mail
  • Renamed Tab support
  • User configurable list pages – users can select the number of columns on each list page and the information which appears in each column
  • Multi-value Picklist support
  • Enhanced support for Long Text Area fields
  • Support for editing Record Type

If you are a user of Salesforce.com’s CRM system, you would definitely appreciate the value of On-Demand computing. With Salesforce.com Offline PDA Edition, you get a Mobile CRM system in an on-demand fashion effortlessly. To get a 30 day free trial, just log into your salesforce.com accout, go to Setup, click Mobile Users, select Offline PDA Edition, then click Setup & Install. You can then follow the simple instructions to install a piece of client code on your PocketPC or Treo650 etc.

Enjoy!
