3. Auto updates.
4. Google reCaptcha

The mentioned features you won’t even need when using Pixdue CRM in offline mode but it’s worth mentioning it

The contacts email are unique because of the email piping/auto importing tickets feature and because the email is used for login.

To hide the help menu item navigate to Setup->Settings->Misc and set Show help menu item on setup menu to No

The export from the table works like this way only the current view so if a lot data is found in the database to prevent crash thats how the datatables export work.

You will need to export by page.

Additionaly you can select All from the top left dropdown above the table headings and wait to load all the data from database.

The reminders feature in Perfex CRM is designed for staff members, the member will be notified about some action they need to take (eq. Call customer, Schedule meeting), this option allows you to never forget anything about your customers.

When you setup reminder for staff member in a specific date the staff member will get notification built-in and email if the field to send an email to this staff member is checked.

Currently available reminders:

• Customers
• Leads
• Expenses
• Estimate
• Invoices
• Proposals
• Credit Notes
• Tasks

In some countries customer details is required to be on the left side. With Perfex CRM you can achieve this very easy by navigating to Setup->Settings->PDF and set Swap Company/Customer Details to YES

Save the settings.

Now on all PDF documents your company details will be shown on the right side of the PDF document and your customer details will be on the left.

Perfex CRM does not support 3 decimals places for a number.

If you dont want transactions/payments to be shown on the invoice pdf document you can turn off by navigatin to Setup->Settings->PDF and set to NO Show invoice payments (transactions) on PDF

There is protection implemented to keep the numbers without gaps, by default delete is only allowed on the last created estimate/invoice.

If you don’t need this protection navigate to Setup->Settings->Finance and find:

• Delete estimate allowed only on last estimate – Set to NO
• Decrement estimate number on delete – Set to NO

These settings can be applied too in case you want to delete only 1 invoice/estimate and after you delete reset the settings to YES again.

Repeat the same steps for invoices if needed.

There is multiple ways to check your version:

1. Navigate to application/config/migration.php and find $config[‘migration_version’]
2. If you are using version above 4.2.9 you can check in Setup->Settings->System Update
3. If you are using version below 4.2.9 you can check in Setup->Settings->General

It’s recommended to consult with your hosting provider if the recommended solution below is not working, Perfex CRM is just reading the values from the php.ini file.

You must change 2 php.ini directives, the post_max_size directive, and upload_max_filesize directive to be equal to the post_max_size directive.

Example to increase max upload size to 64MB, add the below code to your php.ini file.

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M

Keep in mind that in most cases restart to Apache will be required in order to changes to take effect, if you are using shared hosting and your hosting provider allows you to change the php.ini directives from cPanel UI, the restart is already handled by your hosting provider.

A non staff member is a feature in Perfex which allow you to have a member like a contract worker to work on projects, means that the staff is not actually an employee in your company but it’s a freelancer/contractor.

Some area of the CRM is disabled for not staff members.

Here is a list of the disabled features for non staff member.

1. Announcements
2. Newsfeed wall
3. Leads
4. Support – Default is NO you can adjust this for your needs at Setup->Settings->Tickets
5. Public Calendar Events
6. Google Calendar Events
7. Goals.

You can add if you want other Permissions to this staff member like Invoice [VIEW] permission and this staff member will be able to access.

If you need to set a user as non staff member navigate to Setup->Staff open the user and check the checkbox field Not Staff Member
