Packages in bpm’online are how you separate what you’re creating/customizing from the rest of the application. It’s a layer that exists in the application. It’s also how you deliver a set of functionality to another bpm’online system. If you’re coming from Infor CRM, it’s like a bundle, but a whole lot more. It’s more like […]
Over the past year or so, most of my time has been spent working with bpm’online. It’s been my primary focus and an amazing journey – it’s made me excited about CRM all over again. I’ve been working with Infor CRM (Saleslogix) since it’s very first public release (I think that was 1997). It’s been […]
In the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) web client, the Lookup dialogs will default the search field to the first field in the lookup results layout. The operator will default to a default for the data type of the search field. However, this behavior can be changed with some Javascript on a lookup-by-lookup basis. Let’s say we […]
The phone control in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web Client format’s a phone number, when possible, and that’s really about all it does. What if you wanted to also make it so you could click the number to dial it. Other similar controls, such as the web address control, provides a button that you can […]
There are times that you might want to prompt a user in Infor CRM (Saleslogix) to make sure a click was intentional. I recently built an integration for a customer that allowed them to add or remove products from their WordPress/WooCommerce website by simply checking or unchecking a box in Infor CRM. I didn’t want […]
In the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client, users can go to the Reports section to see the full list of reports that are available. However, some reports, you might not want to have available there. For example, at times, you might build reports that serve a certain purpose, that you run via code from somewhere […]
This month marks the 15 year anniversary of Saleslogix (now Infor CRM) related blogging from Customer FX!! In 2003, I started the first Saleslogix related blog (that I knew of at that time) on the domain SalesLogixBlog.com and migrated that blog to customerfx.com in 2008. Here’s a sample post from that blog in 2004 on […]
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. For this particular request, the customer wanted to add this custom column to any product lookup that would show […]
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 […]
QR codes can be useful and you might find a need for generating them inside of Infor CRM (Saleslogix). A QR code can represent a lot of different things, but in this article we will be creating QR codes that contain the URL to a record in the CRM web client (the value stored in […]
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. Even if you’re not using a build server and would like to create some automated way to build & deploy, you’ll find these tools useful. […]
