SuiteCRM Update - April 2023

Hey everyone,

As we are now at the end of April, we thought it would good time to give you all a quick update.

We released the SuiteCRM 8.3 Beta at the end of March and are currently in the process of preparing the production release, which will be available in a few weeks time.

In addition to the features included in the beta release (Subpanel Filters, Load More and Notifications), we will also be including a change to the design of the Admin Panel, which we hope will make it easier for admin users to find the settings they are looking for:

We have also updated the Administrator menu, which will make it easier to navigate between settings:

More information on these changes will be available in the release notes and user guide, once we reach the production release of 8.3.

There are more exciting design improvements planned for future releases including a streamlined Navigation Bar, Record View Useful Bar (to simplify access to common actions e.g. save/edit ) and the ability to view hidden fields on Listview, to name but a few.

We will of course be putting a big focus on PHP compatibility over the next few months and will be looking for your support to help us test, find and resolve PHP version released issues.

We will be keeping you updated when these changes become available, but in the meantime, please feel free to check out the Roadmap here to find out more.

Thanks
Gillian

Any plans to include sub-panel filters in version 7?

Hi @pstevens,

We are anticipating that SuiteCRM 7.14 will be the final release in the 7 series and as such, we will not be including sub-panel filters.

We are hoping that all clients will transition to SuiteCRM 8 over the next 12 months, so that they can benefit from all the new features, which I hope you can understand.

Thanks,
Gillian

Subpanel filters is already an option in SuiteCRM 7, enabled on the HIstory subpanel by default, but would need some code edits for it to work for other subpanels and this is the same edit that would be required for Suite 8 when this version released
