What we shipped: Q4 2019 in review
Sara Goepel
Chief Product Officer, Karbon
2019 finished with several updates to Karbon, bringing new features, functionality and improvements to some of the most-used areas of the app.
Below, you'll find a brief summary of every #KarbonUpdate between October-December 2019.
Search for Notes in Global Search
Global Search gives you the ability to your entire Karbon account, across all Work, Clients, and Email that you have access to. Now, you can search across internal Notes too.
Timeline Filters
New filters at the top of Work and Contact Timelines make it easier to cut through the noise and find the items that you're looking for. Now, you can choose whether Emails, Notes, Activity Items and Client Task Emails will appear.
Search a Timeline
You can also search for across these Timelines to quickly find an Email or Note. The search rules are the same as Global Search—meaning your query will search across text, subject, titles, senders and recipients.
Restricted user permission
To give you greater control over which staff members have access to what, we've added a new user permission setting: Restricted.
A restricted user has limited access to information within Karbon, making this user permission ideal for temporary contracted staff members, or outsourced teams. Here's a quick summary of what they can see and do.
Access their own To-do list
Access Contacts they are on the client team for
Access Work they are on the work team for
Global Search only shows their own emails, emails on timelines they have access to, and work and contacts they have access to

Other changes:

To help keep your data clean and easier to manage, we've removed the ability to create duplicate Contact Types and Job Roles.
A new company setting has been added to automatically log out any users if they are inactive for a chosen period of time.
Everything in Settings is now on a white background. Cleaner, nicer-to-read, and easier on the eye.
We have lots planned for the year ahead, kicking off with a big new feature release in just a few weeks. Stay tuned!
