5.2.0

Easier GDPR

We have prepared a set of functions which make GDPR implementation within your company, and the obligations fulfilment, more efficient.

In order to activate the new features, use the new parameter within the Administration Settings. After activation, the following functions will be enabled:

GDPR Relevant

A new check box which helps to identify records that are relevant for GDPR. The system can automatically mark some of the interactions as relevant (e.g. creating deals or contacts from emails, bulk emails unsubscribe requests, etc.).

You can mark all the emails containing client change requests, both incoming and outgoing, manually. E.g. Client has requested for a change of personal data.

Now you can easily identify GDPR relevant interactions from within the record.

Improved Item Deleting

Deleting important items, (Contacts, Companies, Deals and Projects) is now protected with a new tool – Captcha. Whether you have, (or have not), activated GDPR within eWay-CRM, you will have to copy a code to confirm your action when deleting data within these modules.

If the GDPR functionality is switched ON, deleting a Contact, Company, Deal or Project will delete the entire record, including all associated data (Journals, Documents, Emails, Tasks and Calendar Entries). There is no possibility to recover the deleted data. Just as GDPR requests.

How to make sure that the contact has been deleted and provide the subject evidence that the request has been fulfilled? Read more in GDPR eWay-Book.

Read More

Unsubscribe Management

There is an Email Opt-out button on the card of each Contact, Company and Deal. This field is automatically checked if you are sending a campaign to a contact that has unsubscribed.

On the Marketing campaign card, when creating a marketing list, there is a new button next to Use New Checkbox called Remove Opt-outs. If you leave it checked, people who have unsubscribed from a campaign will be automatically excluded from the Marketing list.

History Tracking

A brand-new function which is able to monitor all changes made to the items within a selected module. For example, when editing the email of a contact or the price of a deal, eWay-CRM records all changes automatically.

On the item card, administrators can find a new change history button in the toolbar. By clicking it, all changes will be displayed relating to the item.

The function can be configured within the Administration Settings. It is also possible to define which modules should have the change history tracked.

How to

All fields where the WebService URL is displayed, (e.g. logging into eWay-CRM, eWay-CRM Settings, Administration Settings & eWay-CRM Mobile, etc.), now clearly display whether your connection to the eWay-CRM server is secured by the SSL certificate.

Therefore, you can see immediately whether there is a potential security risk to your data.
