Sugar Open Source Release Notes Version 4.5.1j

New and Enhanced Features

New and enhanced features for 4.5.1 are listed below.

Campaign Management

Sugar now offers the following features for campaigns:

•	You can now create Newsletter campaigns. A Newsletter campaign is an email campaign that you can send out on a regular basis.

•	The new Campaign Wizard allows you to create an email campaign, a newsletter campaign, or other types such as mail and telesales campaigns.

•

The new email campaign diagnostic tool allows you to ensure that all the campaign requirements have been met such as email setup, bounce-handling mailbox, and a scheduled job to send out the campaign emails. The diagnostic tool allows users to have a quick understanding of the pending administrative tasks before scheduling the campaign.

•	Sugar now provides an embedded ROI report that allows you to view the Return on Investment (ROI) for a campaign based on opportunities generated from the campaign.

•	You can create a Web-to-Lead form within Sugar. Users can drag and drop fields from the leads table, including custom fields, and create a ready to use Web-to-Lead form.

•	You can now link to campaigns from Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities modules.

•	You can now embed images in campaign emails to avoid them from getting reported as spam.

•

To enhance performance, you now have the option of storing only one campaign email in the Sugar database. You can map this email to all the campaign targets instead of storing duplicate copies for each target. However, when you select this option, you will lose some information such as the timestamp.
