One of my favorite features of bpm’online is how you can create your own custom web services that you can consume from the client-side code in the UI. This allows you to offload heavy operations to the server that you can easily call from your code in the UI. These web services are referred to […]
Bpm’online has a powerful backend due to the ability to create processes. You can do just about anything at all in these processes. However, there are times that you’ll want to let the front-end javascript know that something happened on the backend, so it can respond as needed, for example to refresh the screen and […]
In the 8.4 Infor CRM web client, if you add a phone number column to an SData grid it does not handle formatting phones that contain extensions. Phones that are just 10 digits format fine as (nnn) nnn-nnnn but if you add a phone value like “6515554444×123” that value does not show formatted but instead […]
In the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) web client, the Lookup dialogs will default the search field to the first field in the lookup results layout. The operator will default to a default for the data type of the search field. However, this behavior can be changed with some Javascript on a lookup-by-lookup basis. Let’s say we […]
The phone control in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web Client format’s a phone number, when possible, and that’s really about all it does. What if you wanted to also make it so you could click the number to dial it. Other similar controls, such as the web address control, provides a button that you can […]
There are times that you might want to prompt a user in Infor CRM (Saleslogix) to make sure a click was intentional. I recently built an integration for a customer that allowed them to add or remove products from their WordPress/WooCommerce website by simply checking or unchecking a box in Infor CRM. I didn’t want […]
In the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client, users can go to the Reports section to see the full list of reports that are available. However, some reports, you might not want to have available there. For example, at times, you might build reports that serve a certain purpose, that you run via code from somewhere […]
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 […]
