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.

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.

AdminThemes

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.

AdminScheduler

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

AdminScheduledTask

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. Unchecking 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.

AdminEditScheduledTask

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.
