Custom Views/Layouts & Forms

VTiger Custom Views & Forms is designed for system administrators. You can configure different views/layouts for any module with the help of this extension. It is capable of configuring multiple views for trouble tickets, e.g “Repair Ticket” & “Support Ticket” and for both views; you can specify different sets of fields and only display the fields that apply to each type of ticket. (Supports all modules)

It converts the “+Add Module” button into a picklist type button which enhances the flexibility and options for you in the CRM. So you just have to select the forms to be configured e.g. “+Add Repair Ticket” or “+Add Support Ticket”.
