On his site Nick Basile has a new post sharing some of the ways you can improve an installation of Laravel Nova (the administration dashboard) for a CRM. This latest tutorial is the second part in his series (part one is here).

In my last post, we started building a simple CRM using Laravel Nova. It was pretty complete when we left it, but I think we can add a few more features and explore the rest of what Nova has to offer. In this walkthrough, we'll take a look at how to use Nova's Actions and authorization.

He walks through the additions and improvements he's added to his Nova dashboard:

• an Action that automates the updating of a lead's status
• additional authorization checks using policies for model delation

Code is included for each of these along with a summary that walks you through the creation and integration process.
