In suiteCRM, I have created custom module name ‘Patient’. I am using the same UI of it. In the list view I want name of my all patients to be displayed which should be fetched from external service(REST API). I am new to suitecrm. Could anyone help me from which file I can fetch my external REST api and how to render that received data on list view as well as detail view. I have gone through documentation.

Please provide actual code or snippet to that. Developers guide isnt seem to be helpful for me. SuiteCRM Version-7.10.7 Sugar Version-6.5.25 (Build 344)

I am thinking this would be very complicated. List View is based on records in the database table for the given module. You would be better off creating code / using an API that created a record in the Patient Module for each patient. Thus you would get your list view.

You could create the module and the needed fields. Create a program to pull the records using the REST API of the source and have it enter it directly into suiteCRM’s database / module table.

You have to Override your include/ListView/ListView.php at module level . and manage everything their including your listview layout too.
