[Vtigercrm-developers] how and where to add a custom setting?

[Conrado Maggi]

Hello Alex,

It's not as easy as you mentioned.

You need to add the link in the DB to make the setting show up in the menu
(vtiger_settings_fields table) but the views and CRUD process of your
settings view need to be manually coded.

The best thing you could do is reserve engineer one view similar to what
you need. Maybe company information?
