[Vtigercrm-developers] Vtiger 6 Usability Observation

[Alan Lord]

Hi Guys,

further to the recent update there's one more thing I've seen in vtiger 
6 that I think needs to be addressed...

Almost all of our customers today enable single pane view.

With the new Summary view and Details view there is no way to get a 
single page showing everything. The tabs on the right hand side linking 
to the various related entities *really* need to indicate to the user 
there are related entities or not.

I think that ideally there should be a number next to those items that 
have related records, e.g.

Comments (2)
Emails (6)
Documents
Products (1)

Alternatively, if taking a count is going to be excessive on db traffic, 
perhaps the tab name simply gets highlighted in some way to indicate 
there are records and not if there are none.

As it stands now, as a user we have no way of knowing if there are 
related records without having to manually click and go into the various 
tabs which is going to be a PITA.

Cheers

Al
