Sage CRM serves as comprehensive solution for Customer Management needs. With each upgrade and iteration, Sage consistently introduces new features and refines user functionality. These continuous enhancements aim to streamline Customer Relationship Management, making it more accessible and user-friendly. The ultimate goal is to enhance adoption rates, improve data accuracy and completeness, gain deeper customer insights, and reduce errors through customization—all of which significantly boost overall business productivity.

In today’s highly competitive business landscape, maintaining a strong corporate identity is crucial.

In this blog, we will guide you through the steps to customize your Sage CRM application themes to meet your company’s guidelines. Sage CRM is already providing the inbuild standard CSS file while installing the Sage CRM2023 R1. i.e. RedefinedStyles.css, where we can add the CSS code to override current existing themes. Sage CRM offers a range of customization options to modify current themes of screens or specific elements like list, buttons etc. Here, we have explained how to change the color of the display grid or list, button and hyperlinks on the screen.

Below is the screenshot of the current Sage CRM theme for list or grids, filter buttons and hyperlinks.
