• Salesforce Mobile for Windows Mobile client v9.1.4 is available for download!

  Pierpaolo Bergamo Nov 13, 2008

  What bug fixes are included in Windows Mobile v9.1.4?

  • Activity History and Open Activities - Completed Activities were not being shown in 'Activity History'.  Instead the 'Open Activity' list showed all open and closed Activities. The latest build provides the expected behavior.
  • Products and Opportunities - In specific conditions, adding a Product to an Opportunity may have failed. The latest build fixes the issue.
  • Custom Views and Task Date Fields - The Date of a Task was not displayed properly in custom views. Version 9.1.4 displays the views properly.
  • Dates, Times, and Device Settings - Dates and times did not respect the display format of the mobile device. Now the application obeys the device display settings configured by the user.
