SugarCRM useful links

By admin, February 20, 2018

When working for a Canadian IT company, mostly focused on CRM integration with other systems such as ERPs and dashboard tools, I’ve selected a huge amount of links, some really useful and some tips and tricks.

Having them here is specially interesting once some companies I have been sent to have very restrict network access depending on the system or network you are.

I will start with a familiar example: a link for the tutorial of building a custom dashlet for the Brazilian World Cup. It is quite old but already built over the SugarCRM 7.x framework
