by Kris Halsrud | Jun 14, 2021 | Infor CRM

I recently ran into an issue creating a job in the Infor CRM Job Service portal that had a step to create an activity. When I ran the job I was receiving event log errors similar to the following: Sage.Platform.DynamicMethod.DynamicMethodException: An exception occurred executing the dynamic method Activity.OnCreate. —> Sage.Platform.Application.ServiceMissingException: Service Sage.SalesLogix.PickLists.IPickListService is not available ...

by Kris Halsrud | May 20, 2021 | Infor CRM

In a previous post I discussed how to extend the Email control in the Infor CRM web client to change the validation regex string that is used.

by Kris Halsrud | Mar 28, 2018 | Infor CRM

In the Infor CRM 8.3.09 web client timeless activities in the sdata grid display their dates as one day off due to UTC offset incorrectly being applied to these records. The sdata grids all inherit from the Sage.UI.Controls.GridParts.Columns.DateTime widget. Because of this we can fix the base widget function returning the incorrect date value and […]

Confirming Actions With an "Are you sure?" Prompt in Infor CRM (Saleslogix)

by Ryan Farley | Nov 18, 2014 | Infor CRM

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...

Creating a Saleslogix Ticket Pretty Prefix and Suffix in External Applications

by Ryan Farley | Feb 28, 2014 | Infor CRM

Some entities in SalesLogix, such as Tickets, use a "pretty key" as an easier to use value to reference the record. These pretty keys take a SalesLogix table ID value and then create a value like 000-00-1234. If you are creating an external application with this functionality, you'll need to be able to create these pretty keys there as well.

Evaluating strings in C# Code snippets

by Jason Buss | Dec 13, 2013 | Infor CRM

When checking for two (or more) different values for a property in a code snippet, you can't simply look at the string values without an error being thrown. For example: Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAccount acc this.BindingSource.Current as Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAccount; if (acc.type != "Customer" || acc.type != "Prospect")

When integrating another system, application, or website with SalesLogix there are many options.

by Jason Buss | Oct 27, 2011 | Infor CRM

On a recent project, I worked on emulating functionality similar to what is found in the LAN client where a user is presented a dialog asking them to choose between different activity types then launching into the Schedule Activity functionality. I found this was fairly easy to duplicate in the web client, and in this post, I'll quickly go through the steps for creating that type of functionality.

Announcing the Open-Source SalesLogix .NET Extensions Helper Library

by Ryan Farley | Oct 13, 2011 | Infor CRM

If you're working in the SalesLogix Windows (LAN) client, why not make as most use as possible of a modern development environment, language, and tools? The SalesLogix .NET Extensions feature in the SalesLogix Windows client is one of the best, and likely least used, features in the SalesLogix Windows client development story. A choice bewteen using an out-dated development environment and VBScript, with no possibility of using source control...
