The 3 new navigation modes in SpiceCRM

Modern web applications like SpiceCRM are based on the “one page application” schema. This means that the application runs in a single web page on the browser and mainly is handled by the browser. This brings many enhanced capabilities and increases speed and usability. However the downside is that typically only one record at a time can be shown. With the latest release of SpiceCRM we added a set of new navigation modes focusing on the typical power user in CRM who wants to open and manage multiple records ate the same time. With the change […]

Next to some technical changes that mean support for PHP 7.3 and an upgrade to angular 8.0.1 this also adds some functional enhancements mainly in Opportunity Management and Service Management.

With the changes last year in SpiceCRM we already move this to the FTS so elastic support this and we added a load of flexibility. From a flow the Duplicate check was carried out before a record was saved. While this is of course OK this had the potential to add […]
