Feature Enhancements When Upgrading From 13.0.x (Q2 2023)

The following feature enhancements are new in Sugar Enterprise On-Site 14.0.0 (Q2 2024) when upgrading from the 13.0.x (Q2 2023) release:

Tile View
  • Tile view redesign: Easily view, sort, update, and navigate your way through records with the thoughtfully redesigned tile view, which has been updated with modern colors and styles, matching other areas of Sugar.
  • Individual column scrolling: Scroll up and down within a tile view column while the column headers and other columns remain in place.
  • Column count and total: Each column displays the number of tiles and a total value of a select currency, float, or integer field (e.g., account revenue), making it easier to summarize the data you see.
  • Focus drawers in tile view: Focus drawers are now accessible within tile view to view record data while staying in the same view.
  • Stickiness: Navigate away and return to a module's tile view without needing to click the Tile View button again.
  • Sort order: Sort your tiles by select fields in tile view, so you can choose how you wish to view the presented data.
  • Additional modules: When configured by an admin, tile view is available in almost all Sidecar modules, including custom modules.
Users
  • Users module user experience redesign: The Users module has been converted to a Sidecar interface to provide a cleaner and more intuitive user experience, usability feature enhancements, and a modern look and feel. This change applies to both administrators configuring users and all users viewing their profile.
    • Additional Action menu options: The Users module menus (e.g., List View Mass Actions menu, Record View Actions menu) have been expanded to include additional feature options such as viewing historical summaries, Doc Merge, and geo mapping.
    • Improved layout options: The Select Modules for Navigation Bar field in the Users record view is redesigned for a better user experience:
      • Quickly drag and drop modules or click the "X" to set the availability and order of the modules that appear in the navigation bar.
      • A bold line dividing the list of available modules provides a visual indicator of which modules are pinned when the navigation bar is collapsed.
    • Access table headers: The Access table in the Users record view now has headers that remain in place when scrolling down, making it easier to quickly determine a user's permissions across Sugar modules.
    • Users module default list view dashboard: When administrators are viewing the Users list view, they will see a default dashboard with two List View dashlets, one for active users and another for group users.
  • Reset User Password: For instances without SugarIdentity, administrators can now prompt a password reset email to be sent to users from the Users record view.
Timeline Dashlet
  • Improved timeline data refreshing: When related records are added to the record you are viewing, the Timeline dashlet automatically refreshes to show the relationship changes.
  • Refresh button: All users can click the refresh button, available directly in the dashlet header, to update the timeline manually.
  • Record creation shown in the timeline: When a record is created, a card is placed at the beginning of its timeline to show a complete picture of the record's history.
  • Timeline in more modules: The Timeline dashlet can now be added to nearly all Sidecar modules, including custom modules, and is displayed in the record view dashboard by default for most out-of-the-box modules.
  • More modules available to be displayed in the timeline: Any module with a many-to-one or many-to-many relationship with the target module can be displayed in the Timeline dashlet; admins can use Studio to choose up to ten module relationships, including custom modules, to show for each target module.
  • Track more field updates: Changes to more fields in each module are tracked in the timeline, allowing users to quickly be informed of important updates to the record.
  • Search the timeline: A search bar has been added to the Timeline dashlet, allowing users to search the timeline of activities across all displayed modules to find relevant information much more quickly.
Dashboards and Dashlets
  • Dashboard filters that control multiple Report dashlets: Dashboard filters allow you to group run-time filters from Report dashlets on a Home dashboard and control them with a single filter.
    • Create and name dashboard filters: Create dashboard filters that control run-time filters on multiple Report dashlets and give them a name that makes sense for your use case.
    • Create filter groups based on data types: Build filter groups based on data types to control similar run-time filters with a single filter.
    • Set default filter values: Dashboard filters are saved with your chosen default value.
    • Save filter values for each dashboard user: Share a dashboard and allow each user to pick up where they left off with applied dashboard filters saved per user dashboard.
    • Use remaining run-time filters for further filtering: Run-time filters that are not used in dashboard filters are available for use in individual dashlets, allowing you to further dig into your data.
  • Report and Home dashboard templates: New role-specific report and Home dashboard templates give you a jumpstart on using Sugar to its full potential by providing relevant information for your role (e.g., as a sales rep).
    • Template integrity preserved: Report and dashboard templates can be viewed as is or duplicated and then configured to your specific needs, but to preserve the initial state of the templates for future use, they cannot be edited or deleted.
    • Filter templates: Find the list of all templates that can be used as a starting point for your own reports and Home dashboards by filtering the Reports or Dashboards module on the new Template checkbox.
  • New Pipeline Metrics dashlet: The In Forecast dashlet has been replaced with the new and improved Pipeline Metrics dashlet, which displays important metrics (e.g., Included Pipeline) for the selected time period.
  • Improvements to the Case Record View dashlet layout: Several layout and visual enhancements have been made to fields on the Case Record View dashlet to ensure helpful information is displayed by default and key data points are highly visible. 
    • The Primary Contact field has been added to the default layout.
    • The Follow Up Date field displays the amount of calendar time until or since the follow-up date as a color-coded badge.
    • The Status field displays the status value (e.g., Assigned) as a color-coded badge.
Reports
  • Focus drawer when drilling into reports: Clicking on a report chart in the Report result view or a Report dashlet now opens a focus drawer where you can view the underlying records and interact with them in focus dashboards.
  • "Is Anything" report filter operand: The new "Is Anything" operand for report run-time filters matches field values that are either empty or populated (i.e., all records), which lets you filter on the field when needed and use "Is Anything" to omit the field from the filter criteria when not needed.
  • Report legend improvements: Report charts now place extra legend information in a menu, allowing more space for the chart data.
Integrations
  • Microsoft SharePoint integration: You can now interact with your SharePoint files via the Cloud Drive dashlet from any dashboard in Sugar if an admin has configured the Microsoft connector in your Sugar instance.
  • Apply DocuSign templates in Sugar: You can now apply a DocuSign template to the Sugar document you are sending to DocuSign so that everything defined in the saved template (e.g., roles, fields) is applied to the new envelope, saving you time when sending similar envelopes.
  • Name DocuSign envelopes: When sending a document to DocuSign, you can now choose a unique name for the DocuSign envelope to distinguish it from other envelopes.
Sales and Service Consoles

  • New font to render Chinese characters in PDF exports: To export reports with Chinese characters, users can configure the PDF settings in their user preferences to select "cid0ct" as the font for the header, body, and footer of PDF documents. 
  • Updated views after closing the focus drawer: After a record is edited in a focus drawer and then closed, the view behind it (e.g., list view, record view) refreshes to ensure you always see the most up-to-date information.
Administration
  • Conditionally required fields supported for SugarBPM actions: Conditionally required fields can now be used when adding a “Change Field” or “Add Related Record” SugarBPM action to a process definition.
