Version 6
From Accelerator for SageCRM
This page contains details of the updates for Version 6 (Jan 2025)
New search items
- Phone No Search
- Email Search
- Address Search/Summary - search for an address and see entities linked to it
- Library/Document Search/Summary
- Communication Search/Summary/
Note: For existing clients these must be added to the "Search Menu" via the config area. We recommend you review SQL indexing also.
Screens
- Company images supported. So in Sage CRM if you have a libr_type='CompanyImage' and a record with this value this image will be used and overlayed on the top area. If there is no image but there is a website the system tries to use the "favicon.ico" from the website.
- Person images supported. So in Sage CRM if you have a libr_type='Image' and a record with this value this image will be used and overlayed on the top area. If there is no person image but there is a company one this will be used.
- Opportuntities and cases will show the company image if there is one.
- Lead uses Lead_CompanyWebSite url and favicon.ico only
- Person Summary now has a vCard download button
- In File Email dialog "All matches" will also show recently updated oppos/cases etc
Smart Tagging
- This is being introduced to bring a level of tagging to Office 365. This is OFF by default. It can be enabled from the config area.
- New entities are linked to the selected email. This is set in a new table 'ctEntityLinks' (metadata installer must be run to install this).
- The system will also try find item the email might be linked to. For example it will use the email subject and FROM and TO fields to see what entities it is filed against.
- Previously filed emails will show a message saying so in the taskpane and file email dialogs. This is the replacement for the custom fields that are available on Classic Outlook.
Workflow Progress
- You can now add in a workflow progress (Tracking) list to entities.
Page Links
- External Page Links - These are the links that open in a new tab. You can turn these on/off now from the config area.
- Inline Page Links - These are the new method which allows you open the link in the existing session (the same tab you are on) and not open multiple tabs. You can turn these on/off from the config area.
Demo of Inline Page Links: https://vimeo.com/1031571625/67195c28d6?ts=0&share=copy
Note: Inline Page Links must be turned on. External Page Links is the default as this was origionally how links work.
