Dear Prasad and Rishab,<br>
<br>
I am curious to know your opinions about the letter below and this.<br>
The issue is partly resolved in the new Workflow engine that can use
the related module data to create and do a Task.<br>
But Workflow engine cannot create lists for example in the Campaign
module to use different marketing purpose.<br>
<br>
I know and used some time a SugarCRM 4.5 fork called
MarketingEngineer (it was developed by a Hungarian marketing man and
a programmer in 2008 - 2009).<br>
This MarketingEngineer was very very good on list creation using
related module data and other custom parameters, using GUI similar
to the todays vtiger 6.x Customview creation GUI.<br>
And the List membership could be change by hand or by automated
action using Workflow engine.<br>
It means, for example, <b>sales state</b> or other field was
changed and the Contacts was removed from the List1 (= Campaign 1)
and added to the List2 (= Campaign 2) by workflow.<br>
And this change also could trigger other workflows to run.<br>
Or the Contact purchased the Service X and this Contact (after
relating Service X to the Contact) was automatically removed from
Campaign to sale Service X and was added to the Campaign to sale the
next level of services by workflow.<br>
<br>
vtiger now is not too far from this possibility.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards:<br>
Istvan<br>

Dear vtiger Team,<br>
<br>
It is<b> one of the most important</b> missing feature of vtiger
CRM since 5.x version.<br>
<br>
The screen shoots were recorded in a fresh install of latest
vtiger CRM 6.1 beta SVN 14212.<br>
Link:
index.php?module=Campaigns&relatedModule=Contacts&view=Detail&record=70&mode=showRelatedList&tab_label=Contacts<br>
<br>
If you will really use a CRM, then you will collect enough data in
Product and Services modules also.<br>
You can store the basic data: Contact1 purchased the Product1 and
signed for the Service1. <br>
In the Contact related list you will see the fact, e.g that
contact related to the Product1. And other side in the Product1
related list you will see the Contact1.<br>
<br>
But: if you want to do a campaign for the marketing segment
"Buyers of Product1" <b>there is no possibility to create list of
Contacts who purchased Product1</b> (only manual clicking one by
one).<br>
<br>
This missing important feature can be workaround by creating a
custom field e.g. in Contacts module for every <b>Products </b>and
<b>Service </b>and filtering Contacts by this custom field data
(it was used by several clients of mine, who works with CRM on a
daily basis), but I think it is unnecessary and is not a nice
approach. <br>
<br>
The only missing feature is a possibility to generate a query
using related module data, e.g. Contacts -> Products or
Contacts -> Service, or other such relation.<br>
The query command in pseudo programming language will be: <b>Please
select Contacts who are related to the Products1</b> or <b>Select
Organizations who are related to the Opportunity4</b> or <b>Select
Contacts who are not related any of the Products</b> etc.<br>
The right place of this possibility/feature is the <b>Creating
new View</b> of the module. If the view is created using the
related module data, then the Campaign can it use by Select to
Load List.<br>
<br>
<img alt="" src="cid:part1.07030001.09040503@gmail.com"
height="528" width="1910"><br>
<br>
<br>
Please consider this missing very, very important feature and
include it to the vtiger 6.1 stable release.<br>
<br>
If the vtiger user will able to create such type of lists
described above, then the real marketing segmentation can work and
usability of a CRM increased to the highest level.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
