Hiding tabs in the web client using Roles

If you had a tab you wanted to hide in the LAN client, all you have to do is remove the current release. Once that was done, the Admin user will continue to see the tab, but no other users will have access to it. This is something that you can do in the Web client fairly easily as well, although you have to go about it slightly differently.

Building a query-based lookup in SalesLogix Lan / Using SLX_Common to build query strings

I've previously posed about a number of useful functions available to you within the SLX_Common script in the LAN version of SalesLogix. I'd like to go a little further in-depth about a couple of functions which are helpful for creating new SQL Query strings.

SageCRM Tip – Editing screen definitions – Screen contents missing from screens

On the last Sage CRM project I worked on, I ran across a little issue with the CRM interface which was causing me a bit of a headache. I was working with a couple of screens I had defined for a custom entity. These screens were similar, so I was doing a lot of comparing one screen to another. Every once and a while, I would notice that the screen contents would disappear from the screen I was reviewing, and I would end up having to rebuild the...

Using Picklist data revisited

Back in January, I posted about the SalesLogix picklist data structure, and outlined how to use the data found in the picklist table to populate other controls such as comboboxes and listboxes. You can find that article here.) If you are performing customizations to version 7.2 or later of SalesLogx, this processes can be greatly simplified by using Application.Picklist instead of directly querying the database.

Events based on history in version 6.x SalesLogix

In a recent project, I had to perform a series of tasks upon completing an activity with a particular Type/Category/Result combination. This had to be done in an 6.2.1 system. In order to do this, I had to modify the OnCompletedActivity active script. I wanted to briefly wanted to outline the modifications I made to this area, just for anyone who i...
