Other Functionalities

Some additional functionalities which may not be listed under major category. But it has some important role in the CRM to use.

Email Templates

There are some email Templates which are defined to link and send emails when a status change or updated it. We can update the system and notify the respective person to check the status or update. We have some email templates as of the module based. you can rewrite to add your wordings into the mail content for each template.

Import and Export

We need to transform the data from one place to another. And we need to keep the data's same to use it. So let's make a function to transfer the data into CSV and take the file out and import it on some other server. May be it requires to transfer data from one location another.

Settings 

The kvcodes CRM setting is so simple and easy to update and configure. Very basic things are there to use.

Users and Roles

When it comes to role and access management I had big struggle to bring it. Anyhow I tried to provide a respective functionality to provide role based access and I allowed customers and suppliers to login into the system and check their stock and transaction details.

SMTP

As we are using the Custom SMTP class to handle the mail delivery. Which will improve the system to send emails on time as well as you can track the failures. Just configure the  SMTP clearly to send emails from CRM. And we have email templates, you can add some templates to users and send emails to them. 

Custom Fields

There is always a situation that, we need to add some custom fields to our modules like the leads, opportunities, customers, suppliers, tasks and also projects. There is a way to add your desired and needed custom fields into the system. with that you can change the way what you needed. hope this feature gives you extra functionality to make it to customize the system more friend-lier to you. 

New Feature

Now it will send an email to the customers when you create sales invoice, 

To acheive this, you need to setup the smtp and permission to send email automatically,

FAQ 

Error :Creation of dynamic property current_user::$user_type is deprecated or Creation of dynamic property current_user::$contact is deprecated or Creation of dynamic property current_user::$person is deprecated? 

These two errors are coming with php 8.2 onwards. due to the restrictions of dynamic property we have to add these two variables $contact and $user_type to the current_users.inc  Like the below one 

include_once($path_to_root . "/includes/prefs/userprefs.inc");
if (!defined('TB_PREF')) {
	define('TB_PREF', '&TB_PREF&');
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

class current_user
{
	var $contact = -1;
	var $user_type = 99;
        var $person = 0;
	var $user = 0;
	var $loginname;
	var $username;
