I am trying to change the width of each column in the lead list view but it doesn't change even if its already updated and deployed in the Studio > Leads > Layouts > List View. What seems to be the problem about this?
It is frustrating and we're still having the problem with the On Demand version. This feature previously worked, as did many others, but as the developers work to add new "prettier" features, they introduce LOTS of new bugs. I've given up reporting them because they stopped responding in a timely fashion and I have my own job. We've decided to just move to a different CRM.
Hi Alex, even though I'm frustrated enough with Sugar to leave it, I still consider it the least worse of all the others. We began using Sugar because it had the features we needed (e.g., bugs, support, opportunities, accounts, etc.) and didn't want to build our own. We hoped to use the automated features in Sugar (e.g., email campaigns) but those turned out to be somewhat underwhelming, usually didn't work at all, and were very difficult to just make work. Our response to that situation (and others like it) was to create our own emailing software solution, which is no where as pretty as Sugar but works perfectly and exactly as needed. But I think we would have this opinion of any popular CRM. All that said, I think we just demand too much of our CRM software. We expect it to work perfectly (or get fixed quickly) with features only limited by our business needs and imaginations.
Alex - I agree with the theme of what you've written but in this instance, on this narrow issue, it was a feature that was already in place and it was useful and beneficial and it was taken away. Myself and others are just asking for it back because it was useful, we're not asking for something new...
So I checked out bug mentioned above, https://web.sugarcrm.com/support/issues/ec02a946-f21d-971a-8156-526046f70e22 and it appears the issue has been "closed", yet there is no resolve. Last updated on bug says 6-5-15. Is this going to be fixed so sugar respects the percentage values set in Studio? Is this resolved in 7.6?
I am happy to announce that column widths in list views and subpanels are now able to be configured from both admins (via Studio) and users with the release of 7.6! Thank you for your patience as we re-enabled this feature for 7.x and I hope you all enjoy it!
