SugarCRM has released version Winter ’18 (7.11) for all commercial editions. The Winter ’18 (7.11) release is available for download to On-Site customers and is being automatically applied to On-Demand instances running an earlier version of Sugar.
Winter ’18 will significantly benefit customers running in the Cloud environment. SugarCRM Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder, Clint Oram, highlights three of this releases most exciting features (brand new user interface, actionable drill through on reports, and the new Product Catalog dashlet), in the following video. More details on all of the exciting Winter ’18 updates are explained further after the video.
Feature Enhancements
The following feature enhancements are included in this release:
- New look and feel : Updated colors and shapes appear throughout Sugar’s Sidecar user interface.
- Preview user interface : Record previews in the intelligence pane have a more usable layout and updated look and feel.
- Advanced Workflow field changes to/from functionality : Receive Message events can detect that a particular field has changed and, optionally, react according to the value it changes to or from. This functionality was previously exclusive to Start events.

- Unlink emails : Explicitly related emails can be unlinked from the Emails subpanel of related records.
- Product Catalog dashlet for building quotes : Easily find and add products directly from the Product Catalog dashlet as you create and edit quote records.
- Actionable drill-through report charts : The following operations are now available when drilling through a report chart: Record Actions menu, Mass Actions menu, Favorite designation, Checkbox selection, and Refresh option.
- Saved Reports Chart dashlet enhancement : The View Report option has been added to the Saved Reports Chart dashlet allowing users to access the originating report’s detail view.
