VTiger comes with customer portal (which you need to install separately – instructions here). It has most of the functionality a robust portal would need – access to contact details, invoices, quotes, tickets, documents and much more. In order to enable customer portal for the customer, you currently need to go into contact record, scroll down to “Customer Portal Details” block and check the “Portal User” field. This will trigger an email to be sent out to the customer with link, username and password. We had a request to manually create password instead of having the system generate one, so we added a “Portal Password” field, which is masked by ********** and the actual password is only shown when switch (on/off) is clicked. It also only allows certain users to view the password. This is also used to reset the password, all the user has to do is go to the contact record and input the new password.
That’s just one of the VTiger customizations we’ve done – please give us a call if you need such solution or anything else related to VTiger.
