SugarCRM Version 5.5.1 Now AvailablePosted by: Justin Kuehlthau in MyBlog |
This update contains a few bug fixes and a slew of improvements to the email functionality. "The Emails module has been redesigned to improve usability and performance. New features have been added and existing features have been enhanced or removed."
The following features have been added or enhanced:
- A new Quick Compose form provides the ability to quickly compose emails from other records, such as accounts, without leaving a List View or a Detail View. You can access this form outside of the email client by clicking on any email address or by clicking the "Compose Email" button in the Activities sub-panel of a record's detail view.
- The Address Book has been redesigned to make selecting recipients for emails easier. You can easily identify and select email recipients from related records.
- The Search form for finding imported emails has been expanded, and now includes the following fields: Subject, From, To, Date From, Date Until, Relate To, Assigned To, Attachment.
- The Settings window in the email client has been redesigned for ease of use.
- The Mail Account tab in the Settings window has been redesigned and simplified for ease of use.
- The Folders tab has been removed and a Folder management section has been added to the General tab.
- Inbound Email setup has been redesigned to make it easier for administrators to create group mail accounts.
- Administrators can configure outgoing mail accounts for users.
- A "Send Test Email" button has been added to test outgoing email settings.
- Error messaging has been improved for invalid and incomplete mail account settings.
- The user interface has been enhanced so that viewing, importing and sending emails can be done within the email client, without accessing additional views in the Emails module shortcuts menu.
- Users can assign the email record to another user during and after import.
