The “Studio” administrator module in Sugar CRM has most of the features you will need to customize the way your information is shown in the Sugar CRM interface.  At first it can seem somewhat confusing, however once you gain some practice and experience navigating around the various modules you will find it very helpful and practical for modifying or adding fields to items such as dropdown lists, table layouts, etc.



Once you are in the Sugar CRM Studio module, you will see both a drop down menu on the left hand side of your screen as well as visual navigation options.



After you have spent some time modifying or adding to your Sugar CRM studio, it’s not a bad idea to export your customizations so that you have a backup in case you need to do a fresh sugar installation or transfer those settings over to another sugar CRM installation.

The customization options in Sugar CRM are very thorough – you can change label names, field names, add help text, set items such as whether or not a field is importable, set the maximum field size, etc.
