How to add new modules?

💬 General Discussion

On the home page I can see a tab ‘All’ under which there are multiple modules like ‘Contacts, Accounts’ and etc.
What are the steps to add a new custom module with custom defined pages??
Is there any UI to add it?
If I have to code how should I integrate it with SuiteCRM roles and other management?

There are lots of videos on YouTube about how to create a custom module.

Basically, you create the module, select a module type, add the fields you want. Do the layouts (where you want the fields to appear in which views), and then add it to the menu. It’s pretty simple and there is GUI interface to do it. Just follow a Video on YouTube it’s pretty easy. The only problem I’ve found and can’t solve is I can never get emails to work to contacts in the custom modules I create. Can’t find a solution to that anywhere.
