Newport Theme – Adding or Removing

My CRM Manager publishes an alternative UI for Sage CRM called ‘Newport’. The 2-minute video below covers the highlights. Below we have provided (1) an overview, (2) instructions on how to apply it, (3) key changes, and (4) answers to FAQs.  

1. Overview of the Newport Theme

2. Adding or Removing the Newport Theme

For the Newport theme, the icons are all coming from a CDN, so the only thing you need to do is to apply a JS file to the the CRM folders.

The Java Script file can be downloaded from this https://project-newport.b-cdn.net/install-files/projectNewport-loader.js and should be pasted into folder
\WWWRoot\js\custom

After loading this js file, please reset IIS

If you want a custom logo to appear on your login screen, you will need to provide us with a png file. 

3. Changes with this theme

– Swap in legacy icons where applicable
– Created 50+ new icons to match the legacy icon style
– Added blue as a default color platform wide instead of black
– Reduced the usage of grey
– Removed borders and drop shadows to make better use of the screen real estate
– Standardized buttons on right sidebar

 

– New login screen- Table headers and table rows reformatted
– Table hover events to show selected row and column
– Platform wide change of typography to only use a single typeface instead of four typefaces for more cohesive design
– Reformatted page headers and menus for better readability and structure

There is no cost to use the Newport Theme

No - it is a global thing. Once applied, all users see this theme.

Just remove the css and js files from the folders mentioned above and reset IIS. That will remove the theme. 

Yes. The Newport Theme supports the GUMU integrations.

Sage CRM Fields, Screens, and Lists

Modifying the Fields, Screens, and Lists within your Sage CRM instance is something we want you to understand. It is easy once you get the hang of it AND hugely important since we need to profile information in a way that makes sense for your organization – and then easily see or filter for that information later on.

CustomIDs

Our ID Generator utility ensures a consistent naming convention for data created in Sage CRM.  For example your opportunity descriptions. So, instead of having multiple opportunities with the same name ‘Big Deal’, it can have something more meaningful such as 23-0998 /My CRM Manager / 10.26.2023.

IDs can be applied to anything within Sage CRM, Cases, Leads, Opportunities, Equipment or whatever you are trying to track. 

In this video example we are using a schema of YY + Number for the opportunity + Company + Creation date of the opportunity, but keep in mind that this is just an example – the naming convention you pick should make sense for your organization.

My CRM Update September 2023

This message is for Sage ERP partners (100, Intacct, 300, etc.). The biggest things going on at My CRM Manager include:

Connecting 1 CRM company to multiple customer records

By default, integrated CRMs typically connect a single CRM account to a single customer (or vendor) record. Many companies would prefer a single CRM account be mapped to multiple customers and/or vendors. Our 1:Many component for Sage CRM handles this for both Sage 100 and Sage 300.
