Dynamic Blocks

The VTiger extension ‘Dynamic Blocksserves the purpose of making things easier and faster for you. The extension gives you the control to Show or Hide blocks on any record view. It’s extremely helpful to separate out different types of records, such as “Corporate” and “Personal” Contacts, “New Install” or “Repair” Tickets. The blocks are shown or hidden based on the Picklist field that is configured in the settings area.
