Template nameRequired by the browser script; the form limits input to 100 characters while the database column allows up to 200.

Rules the system enforces

  • The submitted filter parameters are serialised and stored with the current staff ID.
  • Use names that identify purpose and period rather than personal data.

How to confirm it worked

  • Saving the template completes without a validation or permission error.
  • The refreshed report, menu or saved-template page shows the expected state.
  • A second authorised user sees only the records and navigation allowed by their core CRM permissions.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Test changes with a non-production record or a controlled administrator account before wider rollout.
  • Do not use navigation visibility as a substitute for core CRM record permissions.
  • Do not include secrets or sensitive customer details in the template name.
