On July 3rd, we held our monthly office hours session on Sugar UI Modernization!
Our guest experts Brett Christenson , Charles Thompson & Eric Wahlquist shared details about some very exciting and well-researched user experience upgrades to Sugar's user interface.
Session Highlights
This new iteration of Sugar UX, driven by customer and user feedback, focuses on achieving consistency across the SugarCRM product suite by implementing consistent UI patterns with a modernized flair. This includes enhancing usability with larger clickable targets in the left navigation, incorporating color modules for visual clarity and contrast, and improving the UI through features like flyover menus and an enhanced dark mode. The updates will mainly involve HTML template and CSS styling adjustments, ensuring minimal disruption to any existing features or customizations.
However, users who have customized HTML templates (ex. Handlebars) need to pay attention to changes in template files. A full list of files is in progress, so stay tuned for the release of that list!
These changes enhance the UI consistency and continuity across all Sugar products and clients include Mobile.
