[Vtigercrm-developers] A note on Role based picklists in vtiger6

[salim]

Hi,
    I think that was a nice feature, If someone using branch concept in
vtiger , then that feature is very help full,  since they setting
up branch based on role. So they can display pick list values based
on branch's.


Thanks
