In the ever-evolving world of CRM systems, Boru has taken a significant step forward by enhancing the Vtiger Open Source platform with custom breadcrumbs functionality. As explained by Matthew Kruze, this feature not only simplifies navigation but also adds a layer of efficiency and user-friendliness to the Vtiger experience.
Understanding Breadcrumbs in Vtiger
Breadcrumbs are a navigational aid used widely across the internet, providing a trail for users to follow back through the pages they have visited. Vtiger’s standard breadcrumb functionality already offers basic navigation, allowing users to move back to previous pages or list views easily. For instance, when accessing an opportunity, breadcrumbs can guide users back to the main list of opportunities or to a specific list view they came from.
Customizing Breadcrumbs for Enhanced Navigation
Recognizing the potential of this feature, Boru has worked with clients to develop custom breadcrumb functionalities that cater to more complex navigation needs. For example, in a real estate client’s Vtiger system, breadcrumbs were expanded to include several layers, such as the company, opportunity type, scope of work, and project address. This multi-layered approach allows users to navigate through custom modules with ease, enhancing the overall user experience.
Dynamic Breadcrumb Functionality
An innovative aspect of these customized breadcrumbs is their dynamic nature. In the real estate example, scopes of work involving multiple construction projects at the same location are handled with a drop-down list in the breadcrumbs. This allows users to switch easily between different project types within the same location, demonstrating the flexibility and depth of customization possible with Vtiger.
The Benefits of Custom Breadcrumbs
- Improved Navigation: Custom breadcrumbs allow users to move through the system more intuitively, especially when dealing with complex data structures or multiple related modules.
- Enhanced User Experience: By providing a clear and concise navigational path, users can save time and reduce the complexity of finding specific records or returning to previous pages.
- Customizable to Specific Needs: The ability to tailor breadcrumbs to the unique requirements of a business ensures that the navigation aligns with the specific workflows and data organization of the company.
Boru’s Expertise in Customization
Boru’s team of skilled programmers and project managers stands ready to assist with any customization needs in Vtiger Open Source. The breadcrumbs functionality is just one example of how Boru can tailor Vtiger to meet the specific requirements of different businesses, improving navigation and user efficiency.

The introduction of customized breadcrumbs in Vtiger is a testament to Boru’s commitment to enhancing CRM systems. This functionality not only simplifies the user journey within the Vtiger platform but also opens up possibilities for more intuitive and efficient navigation in complex data environments. For businesses looking to optimize their Vtiger experience, embracing custom breadcrumbs is a step in the right direction.
