Reporting Module
Highlights of the Fall Release are updates on the Reporting Module. We ported the views for the Pivot Table, the grouped and grouped with summary view and also the TreeView to the SpiceUI. This is an ongoing effort where we are bringing the best in class reporting functionality to the lightning experience with SpiceCRM. As we believe that integrated analytics is a key necessity this is an important step on our roadmap.
We continued to develop additional functionality for Marketing adding a basic event management. This allows planning and tracking of events. Add partners that play specific roles in the event. Track invitations and registration. Add a self service registration to your website.
Close&New Button
Also the good old “close&new” button in activities made it back to the new UI. For some time we did think there would be a life without it. We accept we have been wrong. So back it is. Allowing an easy way to close one activity and add a new one. But it would not be SpiceCRM if we did not make it better. So we added flexibility to customize it and to also let the user choose which activity to add next. Allowing an easy closing of for example a call and scheduling a meeting.
Besides that, there are further features worth mentioning like an easy way to change the users time zone, enhancements in the Calendar and also with the FTS engine. We also added a bulk indexer that will allow fast indexing with the elastic search. And many more…

Add Componentset to spicebeanguidestages
Added a componentset as configuration option to the spicebeanguides. This allows to render a componentset instead of the description in the beanguide with the path. e.g. fields relevant for the sales stage can be rendered there or other components that might deliver valuable information

Added adminonly flag to tabcontainer item components
Added a config option “adminonly” to the tab container items (regular and vertical). If you set the tab it will only be rendered if the user is an admin user. Mainly used for the user tabs to only show some tabs to the admin but not to the regular user.
Added new Reporter Views
Added Reporter Views for Summary, Grouped, Tree and Pivot View
All Character Analyzers in FTS
Added two new analyzers spice_standard_all and spice_ngram_all that can be set and will include all characters (including, whitespace, punctuation and symbols) in the tokens and the search. This makes sense for e.g. name fields where a company name or a release name or version name includes those characters and they should not be stripped when tokenizing and searching using elastic search.

Incorrect checkbox value interpretation
The checkbox values in the Administration Configurator components were being interpreted incorrectly. The values stored in the DB as both 0 and 1 were interpreted as true (checkbox checked). The only value interpreted as false was NULL. The correct interpretation was already implemented before. However, the value was converted only for “boolean” types whereas the field type used was “bool”. This was corrected in the bug fix
