Guide to Upgrade from VTiger 7.1 to 7.2
July 15, 2020
Article
Upgrading VTiger CRM from version 7.1 to 7.2 is quite similar to the earlier versions. Firstly, you must download the patch file, extract it, make a backup for your files/database and then finally run the migration wizard. Through this article you will be able to migrate your VTiger CRM 7.1 to 7.2. Note: You cannot upgrade VTiger CRM directly from version 7.0.1 to 7.2. You have to follow the upgradation path 7.0.1 > 7.1.0> 7.2 Migrating to newer version of VTiger CRM all by yourself is not an easy but doable task. If you have good enough knowledge regarding how migration works, then you will be able to do it by yourself.

VTiger Integration with UPS
August 24, 2016
Article
Out of the box VTiger has a great system to handle sales orders which allows the user to convert the sales order into invoice, purchase order, as well as to create recurring invoices. If your business requires shipping and handling products – you might be able to take advantage of the VTiger customization we did, which allows users to generate tracking numbers and print labels using UPS API. The customization allows the user to generate tracking number from within the sales order screen, by simply clicking the button. It is integrated with UPS API, which sends the package weight, dimensions, location and retrieves valid tracking number stored in VTiger. The user can then click on the tracking number and it will open the UPS tracking website. In addition, we added the ability to process 100s of orders at a time. The customer who we built this for – is shipping 300-500
Customized VTiger Duplicate Merge Tool
July 27, 2016
Article
VTiger has a built in ‘Find Duplicates‘ tool which works with all the standard & custom modules., The tool can be accessed from “Actions” –> “Find Duplicates”. It’s sophisticated enough where the user can select multiple fields to check for duplicates as well as exclude the empty values. In addition, the fields selected are displayed as columns and “Merge” button allows to compare records side by side, and of course, merge. Merging duplicates is a tedious process and requires a lot of patience, effort and most importantly, time. We’ve come up with a way to speed up the duplicate merging by enhancing current VTiger Duplicate Merge Tool. First – we added additional columns to allow users to see more information about the records to be merged, even though those fields/columns are not parts of duplicate check. Standard functionality only allows to show fields as columns which you are ‘checking as duplicates’,
VTiger & Sage 50 Integration – Sales/Purchase Order Import
July 26, 2016
Article
VTiger & Sage 50 Integration Sales/Purchase Order Import Sage is an accounting system used by many businesses around the globe and having it integrated with the CRM is crucial. There’s currently no extension that would enable seamless sync between Sage 50 and VTiger. We’ve worked with many accounting systems, such as, Xero, QuickBooks, Peachtree (Sage 50) and are very familiar what is involved in developing the integration between the two. VTiger CRM has exceptional quoting & invoicing capabilities as well as generating sales & purchase orders. However, it’s not ideal for accounting purposes and that’s why we created a custom export/import that gives the ability to transfer data from VTiger to Sage 50. The customization consists of 2 parts: Export Exporting VTiger Sales Orders Exporting VTiger Purchase Order Import Importing VTiger Sales Orders Importing VTiger Purchase Orders We added a button to each record “Export to Sage 50”. The button creates a file
View Record Address On Google Earth within VTiger
July 20, 2016
Article
VTiger CRM comes with pre-designed Google Maps widget which enables to view the addresses while looking for lead or contact records. The feature is great! However, its practical application has not much been observed since the zoom is not adjustable and you can’t see much more than a pin and surrounding area. We took the integration with Google Maps a step further and added functionality for users to view addresses on Google Earth. What we coded was basically a simple button “View on Google Earth” (at least it looks simple enough) next to each address block, which opens a modal popup (without leaving VTiger) and shows the zoomed picture of the house and the area. The tool is very helpful for businesses dealing with Solar Systems, Fences or any other exterior work that requires a glance of the property to do the quote or evaluate the conditions.

Receiving Purchase Order & Creating Assets in VTiger
July 19, 2016
Article
Out of the box VTiger has a built-in Purchase Order handling tool that allows users to create Purchase Orders, print or email them to the Vendor as well as link them back to Sales Order or an Invoice. In addition, there’s logic behind each Status, e.g when the Purchase Order status is changed to “Received”, it will ‘receive’ the items and update the “Qty. On Hand” for each item/product. All of the functionality is great. However, it is missing one of the most important features – keeping track of received items/assets. We came up with a solution that not only allows users to update the “Qty. On Hand”, but also enables to enter the serial number for each item and create it as an asset. It also supports a bar code scanner, all the user has to do is to put the cursor on the first item box and start scanning – the serial numbers will be
VTiger Rich Text/HTML Comments
July 18, 2016
Article
One of the productive features of VTiger includes the running comments/notes tab for each record. It’s mostly used to post notes, record details from calls/meetings, or any information related to the record which does not belong in fields. We were asked to customize the VTiger comments section to make it even more useful! First, we added a date & time fields, meaning that before posting each comment, you can backdate or post it in the future data. It is very useful for the businesses who want to keep their notes intact and who can’t necessarily post the notes at the time the action is being taken place. Our customization allows the user to change the comment date/time as needed. Secondly, we added the ability to format the text, meaning that the comments posted are in “Rich Text” format, which allows users to add bullet points, images, underline, highlight the text and much more! We used CLKEditor which
VTiger Filters: “Assigned To” Equals To “Current/Logged In User”
July 15, 2016
Article
Filters in VTiger is one of the most commonly used feature and often system admins are required to create filters that require condition “Assigned To”, which can cause a potential problem when there are too many users. The way VTiger works now is, if you were to create filters for each user in the system (with the Assigned To condition), you would have to create as many filters as there are users., and sometimes more (if multiple filters are needed). We came up with the special “Assigned To” condition “Is Current User”. It means: you can create one filter, set it as public and select the condition to be “Assigned To is Current User” instead of using the “Assigned To equals UserXXX”. This eliminates the need of creating duplicate filters – the condition will filter only the records that are assigned to “the Logged In user”. This is just one of the many customizations
New Widget in VTiger Calendar View (Additional Filters)
July 14, 2016
Article
VTiger Calendar is great, but not perfect. As every software, there’s always room for improvement. One of the customers requested to add a special widget on the calendar view, so their managers could easily filter only the activities they need to see. If you look at the screenshot, you will see that the widget is embedded in the calendar view and allows a detailed search of events. Search fields are as follows: Organization Name (it’s an ajax/type ahead field, once you start typing – it will show possible matches) Status (activity status) Activity Type Assigned To (group/user assigned to activity) Such detailed search allows the customer to exclude the unnecessary activities/events/tasks from the calendar view and prioritize the day. This is one of the many customizations that we did – if you have an idea for implementation or need assistance with VTiger – please shoot as an email or give us
