The Infor CRM web client in at least versions 8.3.09 and 8.3.10 there is inconsistency in when, or if, the “Unsaved Data” dirty flag appears at the top of the web client to let users know that there are unsaved changes on the page. Sometimes this flag does not show until a post back occurs. […]
How to edit the Infor CRM Web Client's name control edit dialog which is a tasty dojo widget.
In an earlier post from last week I talked about how to fix pre-8.3 systems. In Infor’s never ending quest to make a never ending quest, they decided to change where this stuff exists in Infor CRM v8.3.0 and up. This Chrome bug only exists pre (I think 8.3.04) so this only affects early versions […]
In the Infor CRM client for all levels of 8.3 and 8.4 if you have an email control that contains an email like “phil.d’angelo@gmail.com’ the email address is not correctly used to open a new email dialog. Instead the email that gets passed is “pil.d”. This is because the launching of the email window uses […]
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 […]
In my last blog I talked about how to fix timeless activities to show the correct date in sdata grids. A different fix needs to be put in place in order to have these same dates show correctly if they are added to a column in a group layout for the Infor CRM 8.3.09 web […]
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 […]
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 […]
One thing that irks me about the dojo based Activity and History lookup widgets is that they don’t allow hyperlinking. While I get you don’t want users leaving the current page in the middle of creating a new record, it is awfully nice to be able to navigate to a record via a link. I […]
The Infor CRM web client offers a time picker component to its date time control to allow a user to pick from a list of available times. THis control is based on the client side dijit TimeTextBox widget. The unfortunate downside to this widget is it streches from 12AM to 12pm in 15 minute increments […]
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 […]
By default, the columns in the grid on the lookup dialog are not resizable. You get static width columns and the user cannot drag to increase the width of columns. This behavior can be changed with some simple Javascript. The following code will allow the columns in all lookup dialogs to be resizable. This code […]
When a user runs a report in Infor CRM (Saleslogix), they are given choices to export the report to certain formats. This can easily be changed if you’d like to limit the choices to only certain types. Normally, the user will see the following choices: Let’s say you only want to have the PDF and […]
In this article we’ll taking a look at how to use conditional styling for rows in the Editable (SData) DataGrid. We’ll change the look (colors, etc) of the row based on conditions in the data. For the example we will be using, we will modify the TicketActivities grid so that punched-in timed activities that were […]
Out of the box in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client, when you click an address control to view it on a map it opens Mapquest. I have no idea who actually uses Mapquest, so this isn’t ideal and opening the address in Google Maps would be a far better option. This is changing in […]
When using the Editable (SData) DataGrid on forms in Application Architect, you have options for specifying the sort for the grid by setting the sort properties for a column. It is also possible to programmatically set the default sort for an Editable DataGrid as well if needed. First of all, to set the sort for […]
An annoyance I’ve always had when using the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client is that in lookup dialogs the textbox where you type in a search value is not focused. You can’t just open a lookup and start typing. You have to first click into the textbox, then type in your search value. In my […]
In the Infor CRM web client the lookup control’s popup dialog defaults to being something like 750px wide. Sometimes this may not be wide enough to incorporate a lookup whose grid contains a lot of columns. You can modify this behavior by extending the base SDataLookup widget. In a previous post I talked about how […]
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 […]
There are a few different formatting functions available in the web client. These are available in the Sage.Format module, located in jscript/Sage/Format.js. Let’s take a look at a few of them. Keep in mind, these are Javascript functions to be used client-side, not from server-side C# code. Formatting a Phone Number Formatting an E-mail Address […]
