Customer Relationship Management
The CRM menu covers the whole life of a customer relationship on paper: chasing a lead, logging the calls and visits that warm it up, running campaigns and surveys, answering complaints and support tickets, selling service contracts — and, on the other side of the menu, maintaining the equipment you installed, from the contract through the work order to the invoice.
It helps to know one thing before you start. These are four separate products sharing a menu root, not one system. The support desk and the maintenance register are separate worlds — you cannot even raise a trouble ticket against a maintained machine — and each half keeps its own warranties, its own fault catalogues and its own customer history. Read the overview first; it explains the split, the four licences, and which nine screens look like documents but are really master files.
The second thing worth knowing early: this module has no reports, no dashboards and no scheduler. One printed form ships with it. Everything that looks scheduled — expanding a maintenance contract into visits, turning those into work orders — happens when somebody presses a button. Plan your reporting and your reminders accordingly.

Complaints, trouble tickets, the work done against them, and the contracts that cover them.
Machine Maintenance
Equipment records, contracts, planned visits, work orders and invoicing.
Service Maintenance
The parallel suite for businesses that service sites rather than machines.
Reference
The files everything else points at, the term settings behind the buttons, and one register that belongs to nothing.
