In the past couple of weeks some new customers reported that their times are not shown in the proper timezone.
There are two ways to change timezone in OfficeClip:
- Organization Timezone: This is set by the administrator when the organization is created. The timezone of every new user will be set to this value. To change this go to Settings > Organization Settings > Timezone and Custom Fields (under Organization)
- Personal Timezone: This will override the default timezone that is set by your group administrator. To change this go to Settings > My Profile > Personal Preferences
The video below shows this in action:

OfficeClip Campaigns module can be used to send campaigns and newsletters for free as long as you have a
SMTP account to send emails. If you are not sending huge number of emails, you can use your company smtp account (or even a free account like Gmail).
Bulk email providers like
Elastic Email or
Amazon SES are very cost effective for sending large number of emails. Make sure that when sending bulk emails, you should setup
DKIM or other mechanism to authenticate yourself.
OfficeClip
Campaigns module provides features for creating good looking html emails from templates. It can also track when the user received or open emails. Currently its feature set is not as extensive as other commercial providers where you pay anything between ten to hundreds of dollars.
Here is a video on how to create and send campaigns with OfficeClip, which I created while helping a customer on this issue.

Today most Fortune 500 companies have offices in other countries like China and India.
Small businesses can compete by using virtual teams to complete development projects.
The challenge is how to manage projects where all team members are not in the same geographical location.
According to i4cp’s productivity blog, even though the use of geographically dispersed teams doing complex work has increased, they require proper structures and knowledge sharing to make them work effectively. Show the infographics on the above web page here.

OfficeClip
Contact Manager has ability to set privileges and access permission using rules.
To run your business effectively you may require different permissions for different users types. For example, one company may require everybody in their organization to be able to modify all contacts but not be able to delete them. While another organization may require contacts cannot be seen until it is assigned to the user. OfficeClip's rule based permission takes care of many of these scenarios.
Recently we have received a few requests to explain the details of the access permission of OfficeClip Contact Manager. I have created a video which attempts to explain some of it.
Note: For clarity watch in full-screen mode

In most CRM you can relate Contacts with other entities like Accounts or Opportunities. What if you wanted to relate a contact with another instance of contact? Why this is important?
These kinds of relationships can come handy in many business situations where you need to keep track of relationships. Suppose you are a real estate agent and you want to track a buyer (Contact), his agent(Contact), the broker(An Account) and the sale(an opportunity).

Today a customer called and he wanted to link up contacts with opportunities. Although in the traditional sense opportunities are linked with accounts, in OfficeClip, there are a few ways you can create opportunities for contacts.
First let us see how the term opportunities is used in different contexts. Opportunities are usually tracked for customers in terms of their probablity of closure, who is closing them etc.

To organize contacts, accounts, opportunities etc. in OfficeClip Contact Manager you can use user-defined fields. This can be used when you are setting a single property to a field, say, you want to specify that an Account has a yearly Contract. However, it is not easy to represent something whenever there is a one to many relationship exists. for example, say we want to say that an Account is a reseller and a partner, whereas another account is an end user and a reseller.
Tags can help in this situation as it allows you to put as many tags you need for any entity you like. For example, in OfficeClip Contact Manager, you can create a tag called Customer Type, and set three values under it.
