Sugar Winter '19 is now live and available for all customers hosted in the Sugar Cloud environment. Winter '19 is the next step in our core Sugar Cloud updates (New Sugar Release Process), providing accelerated delivery of new innovations for Cloud customers, as well as heightened levels of predictability for Sugar updates. Sugar Winter '19 will significantly benefit customers running in the Sugar Cloud environment through the major features introduced in this release, detailed below. |
Comment LogThe Comment Log field, a shared log of messages, comments, or other text, has been added to the Bugs and Cases modules and is available to be added by administrators to other modules. This new feature enables users to foster collaboration and provide a time-stamped record within Sugar so that everyone is on the same page. With the comments log, important customer information doesn’t get lost in email or side conversation, but rather right in the context of the Sugar record. |
