VTiger 7 Features Summary
Here is a nice summary of the new features in Vtiger 7. There are some really good improvements! It should be noted that this is Vtiger On Demand not Vtiger Open Source and while Vtiger promised to release some of these features to Open Source, which ones are not known. I am hopeful that a lot […]
Vtiger 7 Coming Soon? Lot of new features in Vtiger 7 On Demand
Vtiger on demand has released a new UI with a lot of new features. It is being referred to as Vtiger 7 in their documentation. I have not had much time to study it in detail, but IMHO there are some really nice new features. I would of course be curious to know what will […]
Email Opt Out in Vtiger
Everyone knows there is an opt out field in Vtiger, but not many people know what it does. When you send an email in Vtiger 6.x, whether from the detail record, the list view or a workflow — if the opt out field is checked, the email address from that record will not populate to […]
Little Noticed but Mighty Vtiger Advanced Search
The Vtiger global search and list view search functions get all the attention, but the little noticed Vtiger Advanced Search can be pretty handy especially if you like to transition some of your searches into Filters/Views.

Vtiger 6.4 Alpha Released Today
Vtiger put up a version of 6.4 that I would describe as an Alpha. We loaded it up on one of our servers if you want to take a look at it. I have not had much time to look at changes in the GUI nor have our developers reviewed the code changes. Over the upcoming […]
