Sugar Labs Contact Preference

Sugar Labs Contact Preference provides a new data type that helps users know how a contact prefers to be contacted, and if they are available to be contacted. An icon is show representing the desired contact preference type. Based on a Do Not Call/Contact flag teh icon can also show a red/green coloring. Red for do not call, green for ok to call. A text area is included to record notes for a do not call reason. If maintained and the contact is marked as Do Not Call, the reason will be shown upon mouse-over of the contact preference icon.

Installation & Use

• Download the latest .tgz package here: https://github.com/sugarcrmlabs/ContactPreference/releases/latest
• Load the package in your target instance using Module Loader
• Log in as an admin user
• Go to Studio and view the Fields for the Contacts module
• You will see two new custom fields that have been added automatically. 'Contact Status' and 'Contact Preference'. 'Contact Status' is a field of type 'do_not_call_image' that shows an icon representing what is selected in the field 'Contact Preference'. 'Contact Preference' is a DDLB (drop down list box) field, utilizing a new list definition 'contact_methods_list', representing possible contact options. For example, methods like Mobile, Office, Fax, Skype, etc.
• To use these fields you will have to add them to the desired layouts.
• The Red/Green coloring for Do Not Contact status utilizes the OOTB field do_not_call

Adding to modules other than Contacts

• Go to Studio and view the Fields for the desired module
• Add a field of data type 'Do Not Call Image'
• Add a second field of type DDLB, using the list type 'contact_methods_list'
• If you want to use the Red/Green coloring for Do Not Contact status, you will need to add a field of type checkbox and name it do_not_call (Sugar will automatically add a '_c '. This is ok.)
• Then add fields to the needed layouts
