Last week we launched order triggers and actions to our [Zapier](https://zapier.com) integration. Now you can both retrieve and create Outfield orders via Zapier to integrate with the other apps in your company tech stack. When creating Outfield orders in Zapier, you may want to take a look at this [Zapier tutorial](https://zapier.com/help/doc/how-use-line-items-formatterv2#transform-skus-from-an-online-sales-application-to-an-invoicing-application) on how to handle line items. Contact us if you would like access to our private Zapier app. We will be launching it to their public marketplace later this year.

We also launched a number of other enhancements. Here are the highlights:

-   **User level permissions now also apply to mobile.** When you edit a team member in the Outfield web app, you'll see a section called Permissions. This section allows you to set permitted features for that team member across all Outfield platforms (web, iOS, Android), such as allowing them access to deals or team activity.
-   **iOS account prospecting has been improved.** Now when you prospect for new leads or accounts on iOS, you do not need to repeat your search each time you add a new one. Instead, it will add it to your places, show a success popup, and then you can continue adding more.
-   **Android date filtering for deals.** You can now filter your deals on the Outfield Android app by created on, date added to stage, and order date. This enhancement will also go live on iOS later this week.
-   Bug fix for weekly dashboard pdf reports when you have multiple teams and a large number of KPIs.

Last week we launched order triggers and actions to our Zapier integration.

Outfield Orders To Zapier - Apr 19 Feature Updates

As we approach launching a large add-on we have been working on behind the scenes for a number of months now, we have still been releasing various smaller fixes and improvements. Here's a few recent ones:

-   We fixed an issue on some newer Android devices where navigating to an account from the route scene was not working properly
-   We fixed an edge case on iOS where the account zip code could end up being saved in the region field
-   On the web app, we fixed a caching issue on the activity map where all the map pins would not show in a certain case
-   Although the phone number field country code helper on accounts in the web app was helpful in many cases, it turns out there were too many edge cases to account for. Thus we have reverted that field to a conventional text field so you can use whatever format you'd like.

Stay tuned for the next launch announcement...

Outfield is Coming to Android

You have likely been hearing about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) recently and we know you probably have a few questions. Here are some details including how it affects your experience with Outfield.

## What Is GDPR?

The GDPR is a big change in data protection laws in Europe since the European Union (EU) Data Protection Directive introduced in 1995, also known as Directive 95/46/EC or the Directive. The main goal of the GDPR is to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU and effectively replace the Directive and all local laws relating to it. It's key principles involve improving fairness, transparency, purpose for data collection, data minimization, data accuracy & deletion, security, and accountability. Further, it applies to all US based companies, including Outfield, that do business in the EU.

## Outfield's GDPR Commitment

We are big fans of GDPR here at Outfield because it gives our users valuable rights over their personal data. It also helps our team provide an even better level of trust with our users regarding how their data is processed and stored over the internet. Furthermore, we believe GDPR is the new global standard for data protection and we continuously work to maintain GDPR compliance. The Outfield team is committed to always operating in the best interests of our customers and that includes GDPR compliance.

## Your Rights Under GDPR

The GDPR grants our users a number of rights for how to handle your personal data. Here is an overview:

### Data Access

You have the right to confirm with Outfield whether we are processing your personal data.

### Right to Object

You can object at any time to the processing of your personal data.

### Data Rectification

You can send us a request to correct or complete your personal data if the data is inaccurate.

### Restriction of Processing

You can request that Outfield discontinues access to and modification of your personal data.

### Data Portability

You are able to export your data for your team members, accounts, and activity in CSV format so that you can transmit your personal data to another company.

### Right to Erasure

This is also known as “the right to be forgotten.” Outfield now allows you to delete your personal data in the settings section of the Outfield web app.

## Outfield Security

Another key principle of the GDPR is data security. Here at Outfield, we are committed to inspiring trust and protecting the privacy of our customer’s data. As such, we use industry leading security practices and manage application security so our customers can concentrate on their business. It is this commitment that motivates our decision making every day and our team holds this responsibility in the highest regard.

We are heavily invested in using top tier data centers, 2048 bit Industry Standard SSL, encrypted passwords, token based authentication, and more to provide our users with peace-of-mind regarding their data. For more details on Outfield security, visit our [security page](https://www.outfieldapp.com/security).

## Additional Information

We have updated our [User Agreement](https://www.outfieldapp.com/agreement) and [Privacy Policy](https://www.outfieldapp.com/privacy) to reflect these new user rights and we suggest you have a look for the complete details. We have also created a dedicated [GDPR page](https://www.outfieldapp.com/gdpr) to help explain how the GDPR impacts your Outfield experience. As always, drop us a line any time if you have questions or feedback: [support@outfieldapp.com](mailto:support@outfieldapp.com)

Outfield & EU Data Protection (GDPR)

What's the point of an app if you can't determine its influence on your bottom line? If you can't see the impact that a piece of software makes, then why use it at all? At Outfield, we understand data is the key to analyzing success. That's why starting today we're launching a new data export tool for sales managers.

![activity-export](https://f.hubspotusercontent20.net/hubfs/9307172/Imported_Blog_Media/activity-export.jpg)

Run all the analysis you want to with all the data you need: compare outside sales reps' checkin duration, frequency, location, etc. We'd personally suggest putting some of these figures next to sales data (in Excel) to see how personal interaction and face-to-face conversations increase overall sales.

Keep in mind, this beta release of the export tool means a few things: A) there may be a couple of bugs, so [email us](mailto:%20support@outfieldapp.com) if you have ANY issues B) this is the tip of the iceberg, we've got a number of data analysis features coming down the pipe.

Find this new feature on the "Import/Export" page. Link in the main navigation section once logged in.

More Data, More Sales

We have been hard at work to provide features designed to make you more effective in the field. Every addition we make has our users top of mind to deliver the best user experience on the market. We have a deep lineup of features primed and ready to boost your field activity! Here are the highlights:

-   Improved Route Planning
-   Generate Reports
-   New Android App
-   Live Traffic Conditions

## Improved Route Planning![](https://f.hubspotusercontent20.net/hubfs/9307172/Imported_Blog_Media/1YtZDwhCVtYauuXHVyoJyaibkPoqB0-gW7gQ1xNlr9m6LP-uEBUEpj6icAH0vEtWo8dz2UhjjOx9c2DnFTrbhZ8LWtf2dzfb8D8uTp8UOJ1IzFlGn8sQPOTJFL0cmzNqUAOWR9uRuJPoyhUbiDpU83_Wtf4DAeLmIT5GW4k=s0-d-e1-ft.jpeg)

Instead of mapping routes on your own, let us do it for you! Now, when you plan events in your calendar, those places automatically show up in routes ready for you to seize the day. With Outfield, [planning your calendar](http://outfieldapp.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=55299fa36cbc6a48319e79ccd&id=aa524b3bcd&e=67808e646f) not only helps you organize your schedule, it also organizes your travel. The new live traffic view lets you know which areas could be backed-up so you can avoid them and save valuable time.

###  Generate Reports

Outfield’s goal is to help you with your job by automating some of those tasks you just don’t have time to do. That’s why we created the ability to Generate Reports. You can now set the team activity filters to whatever you need, and send a PDF report to your email. Inside the report, you’ll find everything from time and date stamps to the form answers users have filled out while at the visit. This feature is perfect for relaying information to various stakeholders outside of Outfield and [increasing visibility within your organization.](http://outfieldapp.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=55299fa36cbc6a48319e79ccd&id=d4764f8d44&e=67808e646f)

### New Android App

We heard your feedback and delivered a brand new Android app loaded with game changing features previously only available on iOS. Route Optimization is finally here for all of our field reps wanting to cut back on windshield time. Outfield takes historical data and traffic conditions to deliver the fastest route and reduce the time you spend on the road. In addition to routing capabilities, we also added an auto save feature that keeps your data safe, even if your phone dies!

### Live Traffic Conditions

The days of being stuck in traffic are behind us. With Outfield’s new Live Traffic Conditions, you can see what you’re getting into before you hit the road. If you’re already out making visits, easily adjust your route to avoid those dreaded bumper-to-bumper situations. [Stop wasting time behind the wheel](http://outfieldapp.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=55299fa36cbc6a48319e79ccd&id=add22ec5cc&e=67808e646f); spend more time with your customers and build more relationships.

July's Feature Lineup

We have two updates to report this week. First is that we have been working hard behind the scenes on improving and expanding our integration with [Zapier](https://zapier.com). Zapier is an integration tool that allows you to connect 2000+ apps including Outfield. It's one of the easiest and most powerful ways to integrate Outfield into your other business tools, no coding required. Currently, Outfield is in invite-only mode on Zapier as we continue to refine it. If you need an invite or have any other questions about integrations, just drop us a line at [support@outfieldapp.com](mailto:support@outfieldapp.com).

Second, we have been expanding our integration with [Closers](https://closersapp.com). Closers is the premier global sales league where you can take your competitive spirit to the next level. You can already sign in to Closers with your Outfield login credentials, but now you can go into your Team Settings in Outfield to add your entire team in one go.
