Article
On daily basis, companies run into situations, where they expend resources to provide services/products to their customers.

November 30, 2018
Article
Quotes, Invoices, Sale Orders, and Purchase Orders are extensively used modules in VTiger. Every company deploys them according to their own requirements as well as the laws of their area/country. But most of companies create Projects on the basis of the payments, processed by these modules. Why shouldn’t we directly convert a quote, invoice, sales order, or purchase order to a project?

Search Popup Filter For VTiger – New Release
November 27, 2018
Article
There’s no doubt about searching related records in VTiger via popup search is not as they are supposed to be. Once you try to create a new record, and select one related record, going through a list of even more related records for a secondary module does not make any sense. To cope with the problem, we came up with this idea to add Search Popup Filters, and we did. Search Popup Filter extension for VTiger 7 allows to apply filters (or condition) that will strain the results the user will get when selecting any record from a lookup/select/search popup in VTiger. For example, if you are creating a new ticket – you select an organization and then search for the contact to be associated with the ticket, by default – you will see all contacts in the system. However with this extension, you can configure contact lookup popup to only
Email Conversation/Preview Extension For VTiger 7 – New Release
November 12, 2018
Article
The standard view of emails in VTiger is quite uneasy to use. Every single email gets showed up in the related emails section. Information regarding emails is displayed in columns.

What’s new in the market is the Email Preview/Conversation extension for VTiger 7 open source, which transforms “simple” email list into conversation view. The view is very easy to read and includes email message on the list, meaning that you don’t need to open email to see the response.
