[Vtigercrm-developers] Update on vtigercrm-5.0.0 release

[Gopal]

Hi Brian,

Your grouping of tabs is really a good one. 

With the new drop-down menu option (we have introduced few days back) for primary tabs, users can very well access the sub-tabs under other primary tab also.

We are in favor of taking out duplicate sub-tabs, except retain Settings as a separate primary tab. 

Hope there is no disagreement in this approach. 

Team: Please let me know if you have any different views.

Cheers,
Gopal

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.

Dear team,
Usability opinion,
In calendar there is too much "tab"/"sub tab" : why not put all tabs on 
same level ?


To go from a module to another, we have 3 methods
The new dropdown layer menu (cool i think is the best)
Parent tab and sub tabs (too much click)
And the "Open all menu" button
Why not supress the sub menu ?


On quotes.... The new layers for discount.... are missplaced, too on 
top, we must scroll up to see them.
The pop up chat is too small
Best regards,
Aïssa

 Hello!


We are planning to have the RC this week. I would request the community to have a go at the demo 
to see if there be any issues.


Those who are using the src code, do take the latest and have a look. 
We are currently developing a new theme and hope to have it into the RC.


We are also merging the PostGres fixes given by Jens into the 5.0.0.


Jeff, do have a look at the svn src structure and let me know if any naming conventions have been flouted.


Thanks,
Richie
