Many years ago I wrote an article titled Making Required Fields More Visible for SalesLogix 7.2 Web where I outlined how to display a message to the user when required fields are missing. Things have changed in CRM since then. In version 7.2, controls used ASP.NET validation with RequiredFieldValidators so you could accomplish showing a […]
There’s an annoyance in Infor CRM Web (Saleslogix) that most people have when viewing long notes or emails in the Notes/History tab. There’s a “View More” link, but clicking that only reveals a bit more. You click it again and it reveals a little more, and you repeat that several times until the entire note […]
I had never noticed before until a client brought it up, but in the Infor CRM Mobile client, if you navigate to an account, then do a SpeedSearch search and select a different account, the top title of the detail view will show the previously selected account, not the one you just selected from the […]
The Editable Grid, or SData Grid in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) web client is a dojo-based grid based on dgrid. This means that, for the most part, you can do just about anything with the editable grid that you can do with dgrid. In Infor CRM, there’s a few layers to the grid that you […]
Along the same lines as my previous article covering referencing entities using the IDynamicEntity interface to set and get properties by a string name instead of as a strongly-typed object, you can also use the IComponentReference interface as a generic entity type since all entities implement this interface. This interface is found in the Sage.Platform.ComponentModel […]
I recently had a request to customize the Lookup dialog in Infor CRM (Saleslogix) to add a hyperlink column that would launch a dialog to show related data to the row in the lookup search results.

Groups can be a useful way to allow the user to build conditions to limit the records to perform some action on. Recently, we designed a job that would work on a set of records and we allow the users to define the list of records by adding conditions to a group. The job would […]
Something that is nice about the Application Architect is that it is customizable in a similar way to how you customize the Infor CRM web client itself. An example of this is in my Git Extensions for Application Architect project. One useful place that you can extend with your own code is the deployment process. […]
If you are making client-side Javascript request to SData from a domain that is different than where your SData portal is deployed, you’ll like be seeing the requests blocked with errors showing in the console that say “Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource”. What this means is that the […]

When a user runs a report in Infor CRM, it starts a report job on the server. While this is happening, the user will see a progress dialog. When it is complete, the progress dialog changes to display the text “The job has completed successfully” and presents a link for the user to download the […]
If you’re using SData to create Opportunity records, you’ll likely need to also start sales processes for those opportunities as well. Sales processes in Infor CRM (SalesLogix) is a mess with all the XML etc. Luckily, there’s an out of the box business rule we can use that does all the messy stuff for us. […]
If you’re using a build server for continuous integration & deployment, you’ll be happy to know you can automate the build & deployment process for Infor CRM using command-line tools.

By default, the columns in the grid on the lookup dialog are not resizable. You get static width columns and the user cannot drag to increase the width of columns. This behavior can be changed with some simple Javascript. The following code will allow the columns in all lookup dialogs to be resizable. This code […]
When a user runs a report in Infor CRM (Saleslogix), they are given choices to export the report to certain formats. This can easily be changed if you’d like to limit the choices to only certain types. Normally, the user will see the following choices: Let’s say you only want to have the PDF and […]

Out of the box in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client, when you click an address control to view it on a map it opens Mapquest. I have no idea who actually uses Mapquest, so this isn’t ideal and opening the address in Google Maps would be a far better option. This is changing in […]

It is also possible to programmatically set the default sort for an Editable DataGrid as well if needed. First of all, to set the sort for […]
An annoyance I’ve always had when using the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client is that in lookup dialogs the textbox where you type in a search value is not focused. You can’t just open a lookup and start typing. You have to first click into the textbox, then type in your search value. In my […]
