How can you stop a SalesLogix activity from prompting for Contact, Regarding and Category during a Contact Process?

Question:

In 7.52 the Activity Detail screen can now automatically pop the Contact, Regarding, and Category selectors on new records.

The problem is that if the activity is being scheduled by a contact process, it does the same thing.

Can this be fixed??

Answer:

To fix this – you have to go into Sub AXFormShow

look for this line:

    If Activity.Key = “” And Activity.BasedOn = “” Then

       ‘Prompt Contact/Lead
       If objOptions.PromptForContact Then
         …..

Change that line to this:

    If (Activity.Key = “” And Activity.BasedOn = “”) and Not(Activity.Category = “PROC”) Then

So now if the activity is because of a Contact Process, it will bypass this
