Recently, I worked on an import where I spent a considerable amount of time working out how to effectively parse data from a SQL table, for insertion into another table.

On the last Sage CRM project I worked on, I ran across a little issue with the CRM interface which was causing me a bit of a headache. I was working with a couple of screens I had defined for a custom entity. These screens were similar, so I was doing a lot of comparing one screen to another. Every once and a while, I would notice that the screen contents would disappear from the screen I was reviewing, and I would end up having to rebuild the screen.

In my last blog post, I outlined how to display data from external database in Sage CRM 200. This week, I'm going to do the same thing, but instead of connecting to an external datasource through SageCRM, I'm going to display the data using a custom ASP page.

Back in January, I posted about the SalesLogix picklist data structure, and outlined how to use the data found in the picklist table to populate other controls such as comboboxes and listboxes. You can find that article here.) If you are performing customizations to version 7.2 or later of SalesLogx, this processes can be greatly simplified by using Application.Picklist instead of directly querying the database.

Did you know that you can include SQL views in SalesLogix? This can be a very handy method to include data that is not normally part of SalesLogix. It is important to note, that these changes are not sync-aware. However if you are running SalesLogix LAN in a network only environment, this can be a helpful way to include data from external sources.

Prior to version 7, there was limited access to those activity and history areas in SalesLogix. In a recent project, I had to perform a series of tasks upon completing an activity with a particular Type/Category/Result combination. This had to be done in an 6.2.1 system. In order to do this, I had to modify the OnCompletedActivity active script. I wanted to briefly wanted to outline the modifications I made to this area, just for anyone who is running an older version of SalesLogix.

I recently had a project which required me to populate the strings collection in an AutoComplete control from data contained in the database. I wanted to take a second to outline how I populate the control's strings, as well as create a reusable script to simplify the process in the future

When performing lengthly updates in the SalesLogix client, it's a good idea to provide the user with some degree of feedback so that it doesn't appear as though SalesLogix has locked up. The Progress Bar control, can be used for this purpose:

The opportunity snapshot on the Opportunity Detail view is a handy place to display summary information, but customizing it can be a bit confusing.

In my last Main Views article, I created the detail view as well as the mainview. For this next part, I'll go through creating an insert view, as well as toolbar and menu items for the new SLXProject entity.

While field level security can be used to limit read\write access to fields by using security profiles, another option is to use team membership to determine how to configure controls on the view itself. In this example, I'll outline how to show different configurations of the Account Detail view based on a users team membership.
