[Vtigercrm-developers] Update on vtigercrm-5.0.0 release

[Brian Devendorf]

I agree... I also had mentioned cleaning up the sub-categories in a  
mail I sent shortly before the system went down. There should be some  
thought into which sub categories go under which parent categories.  
It is confusing for end-users to have options available in too many  
places. I have updated the layout based on the latest trunk:

Current Layout						
My Home Page	Marketing	Sales	Support	Analytics	Inventory	Tools	Settings
Home	Campaigns	Leads	Trouble Tickets	Dashboard	Products	RSS	Settings
Calendar	Accounts	Accounts	FAQ	Reports	Vendors	My Sites	
Emails	Contacts	Contacts	Accounts		PriceBooks	Notes	
Emails	Potentials	Contacts		Purchase Orders	
Leads	Quotes	Products		Sales Orders		
Calendar	Sales Orders	Notes		Quotes		
Notes	Invoices	Emails		Invoices		
Products	Calendar				
PriceBooks					
Notes					
Calendar					


What does everyone else think? Anyone else show this to existing  
clients and get questions about why the same module appears in many  
places? That's what got me started thinking of improvements. Any  
better ideas? Note the change from My Home Page to My Home and from  
Trouble Tickets to Tickets. To me, the updated layout of categories  
makes finding the right module easier.

Proposed Layout					
My Home	Marketing	Sales	Support	Inventory	Analytics	Tools
Home	Campaigns	Accounts	Tickets	Products	Dashboard	Settings
Emails	Leads	Potentials	FAQ	Vendors	Reports	My Sites
Calendar		Quotes		PriceBooks		RSS
Contacts		Sales Orders		Purchase Orders		
Notes		Invoices
