Problem statement:

  • By default, CRM does not have the facility to upload multiple documents or images. Only one file type data type exists which allows uploading single file.
  • Difficult to rename documents/images etc but they should be human and SEO friendly.
  • No preview facility. By default, CRM does not have the facility to preview the documents uploaded.
  • Hence Ideadunes team came up with the facility to upload multiple documents and images with preview facility.

We created a special data type for SuiteCRM/Sugar CRM that supports uploading multiple files to any record with compatibility to previous and latest version 6.5.25 & 7.10.5

The files that you upload will be clearly visible in the various views such as Edit View, Detail View, Sub Panel (Quick Create), List View, Dashboard.

With this add-on it makes it simple to both upload and manages your various file uploads.

Functionality

  1. Upload multiple images or documents at a time
  2. Supports uploading different file types to the same upload field.

  2. It's easy to remove a file that is not needed anymore by simply clicking on the cross button which you can see corresponding to each image.
