New VTiger Extension: List Export to XLS (Excel)

September 26, 2017
Article
We are excited to introduce new extension to our VTiger Extension Pack! The extension was designed to export lists/filters into excel. As you probably know, standard Support for VTigers exports to .csv, however .csv files can be messy, hard to manipulate and the formatting does not always save. Our List Export to XLS VTiger extension, not only exports data to XLS files, but also only includes columns that are selected in the list, unlike .csv – it exports all the columns and kind of defeats the purpose of export. It supports all custom and standard VTiger modules and is now available for anyone with extension pack subscription!.

Reports In VTiger

Article
With the change in the business environment, the process of developing and presenting reports is also advancing at a rapid speed.
