New Tab (Dashboard) with External Feeds like Twitter, Fbook, LInkedIn, News, etc.
Right now the "Home" tab is effectively various views of the "Activity Stream" of the business. Let's not lose this, but let's get Zoho to give us another tab, one that is highly configurable by the users or admins and can accept feeds from several sources. Some of this could be done via a Web tab, and I get that, but it is not the same.
Here is my wish list for this dashboard view:
-Continuously refreshing activity stream from the business: basically everything that is happening in reverse chronological order within the business as it touches Zoho. This includes integration feeds/updates (quickbooks), and all user activity.
-Weather & Time for up to 10 cities: Pull the information from any one of several sources, but this is invaluable. One row per city to include a small graphic of the weather right now (like sun or cloud pics you see on weather sites), current temp, anticipated high/low, and current time. Anyone who has seen Info at Hand (a sugar distribution) CRM has a great example of this. Make sure you enable frequent updates and a reliable weather source.
-Post to my Social Accounts: An ultra simple component allowing me to add any or all of the most common social services (Fbook, twitter, linkedin), with each having their own row showing my current status, and a box to post a new status.
-View Customer Activity Streams: For any customer/lead/account for which I have set up their feed information from the three big services, show it in a stream that I can scroll through. [This assumes that Zoho enables the ability to add the feed information for each of these by adding to the lead/contact/account records, with a toggle for on/off]
-RSS News Feeds: Even if you restrict the number, give us the ability to have a few different news feeds come into our dashboard so that we can see industry/global news.
I hope this will be well received by others and that we can get some of this moving ASAP.
