You must also specify a currency conversion rate before saving the new currency settings.
Backups
The SuiteCRM application files can be backed up using this tool. Please note that you should also perform regular backups of your database - see the vendor’s documentation for details on how to do this.
Languages
Download language packs for SuiteCRM here.
Repair
Selecting Repair from the System Settings panel displays a wide range of repair options for SuiteCRM which will run automatically when the link is clicked. SuiteCRM may direct you to run particular Repair commands, for example following an upgrade using the Upgrade Wizard.
Quick Repair and Rebuild is the most often used command here, and will be required after installing a new module via Module Loader for example, or to display changes to code during development when Developer Mode is not set.
When running a Quick Repair and Rebuild, be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to view any new SQL code which may need to be executed to ensure that your database tables are correctly synced with any changes that have been made.
Global Search
The Global Search functionality is used to search for records using the search bar on the main navigation menu. Add or remove modules from the Global Search here.
See the User Interface guide to the global search for more information.
Diagnostic Tool
The diagnostic tool allows you to gather system configuration information which can be downloaded via a .zip file for analysis.

Themes
From 7.9 onwards, only the SuiteP theme is available. For earlier versions, you can set the default theme and which other themes are available for users to select here.
From 7.10 onwards, there is a choice of theme colours for SuiteP which can be set from the User profile.
Scheduler
SuiteCRM uses a number of Scheduler jobs running at scheduled times, supporting functionality such as search indexing, workflows, email notifications, database maintenance and sending campaign emails.
Setting up the Scheduler
Scheduler jobs need to be manually enabled. This is done by running a script called cron.php every minute. This, in turn, manages all SuiteCRM jobs according to their proper schedules.
In Windows this is setup using Task Scheduler, and in Linux and iOS, it is setup in crontab. Detailed instructions for your system will be displayed during installation and can also be found on the Schedulers page, under the list of scheduled jobs.
See Scheduler Jobs in SuiteCRM in Linux - the Definitive Guide for an in-depth guide to setting up and managing scheduled jobs in Linux.
Configuring Scheduled Jobs
Click on a scheduled job to view settings
In edit mode, you can set the job status (only Active jobs will run) and configure the interval at which the job runs as well as the start time. Unckecking the the 'Advanced Options' box will show a more user-friendly way to set the job interval if you are not familiar with the crontab notation. Re-checking Advanced Options will let you set the initial start time.
Activity Streams
By default the Activity Stream dashlet displays recent updates for the Opportunities, Contacts, Leads and Cases modules.
The Activity Stream admin panel allows you to configure what is displayed on the activity feed and which features are available to users.
Enable MyActivity Stream Dashlet: |
Enables/disables the Activity Stream dashlet for all users |
Activate Feeds For: |
Select the modules to display activity for |
Activate User Feed: |
Allows users to enter messages in the status update field for broadcast to all users |
Please see the user interface guide for further information on how to use the Activity Stream.
