New Features in December 2020
Microsoft Partner Center Integration for Partner-to-Partner (P2P) Collaboration
We are excited to announce the integration with Microsoft Partner Center, the platform for partners to manage their relationship with Microsoft. Partners in Microsoft ecosystem can now leverage the advanced planning and collaboration capabilities in WorkSpan, assured that the deal data is automatically shared with Microsoft at the right time.
Bi-directional integrations ensure that referrals in Partner Center are synced with opportunities in WorkSpan and eliminate dual data entry across the platforms.
- Receive a referral from Microsoft in Partner Center, referral is imported into WorkSpan, invite additional partners on WorkSpan to run a collaborative deal cycle and send updates back to Microsoft as the deal progresses.
- Start a pre-pipeline deal in WorkSpan, qualify and collaborate with partners. When the deal matures and you are ready to share the deal with Microsoft, submit the referral to Microsoft Partner Center from within WorkSpan.
Host a Microsoft P2P Program on WorkSpan, learn more about the offering on Microsoft Appsource Marketplace.

High Priority Notifications
You can now configure field-specific alerts for user-initiated changes or updates by integrations such as an update from CRM. These notifications appear in your WorkCenter, in your object tables, and can be accessed from the object's Activity Log at any time.
When partners or your sales teams update key fields such as Close Date or Deal Amount, you are instantly notified. Use these insights to stay up-to date on the deal progress, ensure all teams are informed and aligned, accelerate the deal lifecycle. No more cumbersome spreadsheet comparisons to keep track of these updates.

Improved Tasks User Experience
Tasks in WorkSpan are getting a makeover! We’ve made Tasks faster, easier to use, and more powerful. Here are some of the upgrades you’ll see:
- Performance and UX improvements for your My Tasks page: Lightning fast loading times and a sleek new Table View to help you manage as many Tasks as you can handle.
- Task Statuses and Priorities have been simplified to 3 options each. Goodbye, decision fatigue!
- We’ve streamlined the Add/Edit Task form, making the essential fields easier to access and laying to rest a few things that just got in the way.
- New “Watchers” capabilities: Keep everyone on the same page by adding yourself or other users as Watchers to a task. Add and remove Watchers in bulk from the table view or from the task summary panel.
- Bulk Actions: Task table views now allow you to Mark Done, Archive or change the Due Date, Assignee, Status, Priority, and Watchers on many tasks at once.
- Improved Comments interface.... and so much more!
This feature will be available to all users in the product shortly. Look out for an in-product notification that will alert you when it is rolled out.
