Sugar Developer Guide Version 5.1

What’s New in 5.1

With each revision of the Sugar software, significant advances are made in both the feature set and usability of the software.

Enhanced Emails Functionality

With the IMAP protocol, you can limit access to specific folders on your external account.

Enhanced Import Functionality

You can now import data for the Bug Tracker. Also, you can enable the import functionality for any custom module that you build in Module Builder. You can save field mappings between the import file and the Sugar database for future use.

Creating Relationships Between Modules

You can create relationships between modules in Module Builder as well as Studio. In Module Builder, you can create relationships between two undeployed modules, and between one undeployed module and one deployed module. In Studio, you can create relationships only between deployed modules.

Embedding Links and IFrames in a Layout

A Link field allows you to store a URL in a record such as a customer's Website or a link to a related internal or external system. You can also embed a view of the Website itself in the layout rather than as a link by using the IFrame field.

Locking Down the Upgrade Wizard

If you are managing multiple instances of the Sugar application and you want to maintain complete control over the instances, you can lock down the Upgrade Wizard to ensure that no user with administrative privileges can upgrade any of them.

Locking Down the Module Loader

In order to ensure that users with administrative privileges do not load sub-standard modules into your Sugar application, you can lock down the Module Loader and direct them to load modules from a location of your choice.
