ModuleSurfer 1.1, in a word: surprising

[kenshiro]

The ModuleSurfer release 1.1 has been just published with new astonishing features.


Surfing Data

ModuleSurfer keeps all the SugarCRM functionalities, plus adding new ones.

The main advantage is that such functionalities have been rebuilt in AJAX: this allows to save the time and bandwidth that would be wasted in reloading the entire HTML page each time an action is performed.

ModuleSurfer allows to group by a column, explode and implode any group, and makes it easy to sort and filter by a field.


Inline Editing

Changing data on-the fly has never been so easy with the inline editing feature.

Users can edit the fields on which they have the proper permissions directly on the ModuleSurfer grid.

Grid cells are converted into type-specific input elements in a click, as in a spreadsheet.


Safe Editing

Data can be protected against unwanted changes:

* Read-Only property set according to SugarCRM ACL permissions for each field
* Form Editing deactivable for each field from ModuleSurfer Options
* Form Editing "Ask Before Save" global option
* Inline Editing "Ask Before Save" option available for each field


CRUD Interface

A practical alternative to SugarCRM EditView is the ModuleSurfer Easy Form: the advantages of Easy Forms are the ease of use and the time/bandwidth saving.

Records can be quickly added, viewed, edited and deleted thanks to the inline buttons and the Easy Forms.


Customize View

Grid Layout can be changed at will by re-ordering, hiding and resizing columns.

Also, some switches are available to hide/show Filter Bar, choose between paged and all-in-one view, and enable/disable the auto-width for the columns or for all the grid.

This settings can be saved to be restored each time the module is accessed to.
