I posted a while back about creating missing client functionality in the SalesLogix Web Client. In that post, I shared a screenshot of a custom “Account Hierarchy” screen I built for the SalesLogix Web Client. I’ll be sharing that screen in the Customer FX Labs in the future. For now, I’ll cover how to add the lookup for “Parent Account” on the Account Details form.

To add the Account Parent Lookup to the AccountDetails form, add the Lookup and then set the following properties:

1. Caption = “Parent:”
2. Allow Clearing Result = True
3. DataBindings = Map ParentId to LookupResultValue
4. Lookup Entity Name = Account
5. Lookup Binding Mode = String
6. Return Primary Key = True
7. Enable Hyperlinking = True
8. LookupProperties = Select the columns you want available in the Lookup

The result will look like this (after building the web platform and redeploying):

For these steps I am linking it as a string instead of using a relationship for an object property. I wanted to avoid the circular relationship from account back to account. Stay tuned for my Account Hierarchy Form to be available soon in the Customer FX Labs.
