In the Notification Center in Creatio (located in the right sidebar), you’ll see notifications for tasks you have been assigned. One of the options there is to postpone the task for a period of time, however, the choices might not suit the way your company works. Luckily, you can easily add more options to this […]
The new skin applied to the Infor CRM 8.4.03 web client is a bit, shall we say, garish. I have come up with a more subdued color scheme to avoid your eyes from bleeding too much while you work in the client. This is what the standard client looks like: And this is the updated […]
There are times when you might not want a user to be able to edit content on a page. While Creatio does allow you to easily modify access permissions on the fly from a process, that might not provide the flexibility you need to do it conditionally, without modifying the record access permissions. You can […]
There’s a few different ways to show and hide elements on a page at runtime in bpm’online. First and foremost, if you’re just hiding fields on the screen, whether that is based on a value or not, your first stop should be to add this using the business rules on the page. In the page […]
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 […]
As of mobile 3.4, each entity has a model which describes the data to retrieve for it’s different views (detail, edit, list). The models can be customized in the same way as you register customizations for a view. In mobile versions previous to 3.4, you would use methods, such as querySelect to add a new […]
The Infor CRM implementation of a checkbox does not use a standard ASP.Net CheckBox control. Instead it uses its own control implementation that inherits from the CheckBox control. One of the things that I struggled with recently was how to both change the text showing with the CheckBox as well as change the color of […]
I’ve posted a few times before about customizing the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Activity Editor Dialog. It’s a form made up of 100% Javascript so customizing it isn’t like your typical Infor CRM Web customizations. In this article, we’ll be looking at how to customize the lookup to add contact attendees (participants) to the activity. Specifically, […]
Customizing the Activity Dialog in Infor CRM Web is not like customizing other forms. This form is not a QuickForm/SmartPart or ASP.NET form. Instead, it is made entirely of Javascript. However, once you’ve learned the basics of how to work with it, you actually have every bit as much flexibility, or more, than working with a […]
Checking to see if the current user is on the same team as an account’s account manager is an easy task. Luckily, the User entity has a built-in business rule called GetUserTeamMembers which returns a list of OwnerJoin entities. For these OwnerJoin entries, the Child property will contain the Owner entity for each team member […]
The Account Associations tab in Infor CRM is made of a custom SmartPart that contains an SData DataGrid. Usually, when working with an SData Grid in Application Architect, you have editors that help you set up the columns and elements of the grid. However, since this is a custom SmartPart, you’ll need to edit the […]
In the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Mobile client, dates in group lists are displayed as relative dates. You’ll see dates in the group list like “10 days ago”, “3 months ago”, or “a year ago”, and so on. This applies to future dates as well, seeing values like “in a month”. Example: Notice the relative dates […]
There is a small change needed for mobile customizations in Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Mobile version 3.3 and higher. It's a small change, but one that will prevent your customizations from loading if you don't make it.
When customizing the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Mobile client, it's common for the ApplicationModule to grow very large as more and more customizations get added into it. This makes the code difficult to work with and very poorly organized. There are some better solutions to keep your code nicely organized and easy to maintain.
There is an issue with the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Mobile client where, if you have a large list of Area, Category, & Issue values, not all of them will show in the lookup. This is caused by the fact that the out of the box AreaCategoryIssue lookup will retrieve only 200 rows, and, then filter the distinct list of these 200 rows to show the available area, category, or issue values. The problem comes into play when you have more than 200 rows ...
The blogs on customerfx.com go all the way back to 2003. There's years and years worth of information that we've accumulated and shared. Since the beginning of the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) web client, we've been posting and sharing what we've learned ever since. However, if you're just starting with developing & customizing the web client, it might be hard to know what to start reading. This post will contain an index of pos...
Showing and hiding tabs in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) client should be an easy thing. It should be something you can do on demand, and any time, no matter where things are in the page life-cycle. You should be able to show or hide tabs based on changes in other controls on the detail form. The help in Application Architect describes creating a module, an external assembly that you can wire up for the portal to show and hide tabs and runtime. That...
In my last post I wrote about using the OnClientClick property of a control (or button) to run JavaScript prior to running the actual server-side click action in order to prompt a confirmation message. To piggy-back on that post, there are a lot of useful things you can do with javascript that will run before your form submits back to the server to so some action. In this post, we'll look at that same idea to clear the dirty-flag with client-...
I'm not a huge fan of bugging end users. I figure, if an end user clicked something, he or she meant to click it. However, that's not always the case. It's especially a good idea for destructive actions or for things that will make a lot of changes and you want to make sure before you pass the point of no return. If a user clicks something and you need to confirm the action with some sort of "Are you sure?" prompt, then it m...
In most places in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) web client, it's pretty easy to use security roles. You simply add the role string to an "Applied Security" property and the rest is magic. But what if you need to get more granular than that? What if you need to access the roles at runtime and apply security to something that doesn't have an Applied Security property? What if you need to apply role security to individual controls on ...
