Hide completed tasks at project opening

Hi there!

Today we're going to introduce a minor tweak, that kept being requested by our users very often. So we obliged. Hope most of you will appreciate!

As a default option, the task list page of an Apollo project has always shown the last 3 completed tasks in each list. This can be useful, in a multi user environment, to let people have a wider outlook of the latest accomplishments.

A new panel for contacts filtering

Hello eveybody,

one of the requests we kept receiving very often, lately, came from users who spend more time in the CRM side of Apollo.

As you know, you can already search for your contacts in many ways in Apollo: let's see them, also as a benefit for new users: there's the free search, which will do a realtime substring match in the Name, Surname and Company fields; there's the search by tags, where you can also drill down and filter on a combination of more than one tag; there's the search by field, where you can search by the value of any combination of the various fields available on contacts; and finally, there is (I should say "there was"!) the View select box.

Hide the tasks mess from your Apollo calendar

Hello friends,

for those of you that really love to put deadlines on all tasks, we added a show/hide switch on the calendar list menu.

This is especially useful in the cases where the account owner set Apollo’s general task visibilty rule so that users see, in their My Tasks and Calendar sections, also the tasks assigned to the company and/or to anybody.

Apollo now has Google Drive integration!

A while back, we mentioned that "Integrations" would be the keyword for Apollo's development. We rolled out Freshbooks and Harvest integration a while ago, and noticed that a many users started using them. Well, if you looked closely enough at our changelog, you would have noticed that we have been working on Google Drive integration. Guess what? It's ready to go: Apollo now supports 100% Google Drive integration.

How does it work?

Apollo is now tightly integrated with Google Drive.
