Add the ability to not only upload multiple files, but also the ability to preview different file types right from inside SuiteCRM. Supports many file types such as PDF, Word Docs, TXT, PNG, JPG, and more.
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
- Upload multiple images or documents at a time
- Supports uploading different file types to the same upload field.
Document Preview

Works great with multiple documents. Each document will have its own controls for scrolling, etc. The user can see and work with different documents such as a pdf, images, a text document, or a drawing space by simply moving the cursor from one space to another.
