A Trip down the Memory Lane of Zoho Invoice's 2018
2018 has been a productive year for Zoho Invoice. We rolled out new product updates, enhancements, various integrations and we hope that these made your invoicing experience better. As we inch towards the final moments of this year, here are the highlights of some of the major product updates.
Transaction Approval:
Getting your transactions approved and then sending them to your customers is one way of error free invoicing. Using the Transaction Approval feature, transactions can be submitted for approval and once the approver approves it, the very same can be sent to your clients. You can assign your users as Submitters and Approvers based on their roles in your organization. A well validated transaction can never go wrong. So, if you're yet to try this feature, you can read through our help document and set it up.
GDPR
Being a cloud based software, safeguarding our customer's data is one of our prime responsibilities. To comply with GDPR, we made the following enhancements in Zoho Invoice.
Sensitive information will be stored as Personally Identifiable Information(PII) in Zoho Invoice. We have brought in an option to restrict/grant access to the sensitive information of your customers within the user level. You can select which of your users can have access to this while creating user roles link.
Users with this access can perform the following actions,
Encrypt and save a newly created custom field.
Export PII while exporting data pertaining to an entity.
To know more in detail, you can check out our help document.
Also, while deleting an organization in Zoho Invoice, we'll be listing out the integrations enabled in that organization. This is to let you know the third-party sites to which your data has been pushed from this organization.By deleting your organization, data which was stored as a result of that integration will not be deleted.
