Discussion of issues with include script attributes on quick forms in the Infor CRM web client.

Kris wrote previously about a change you can make to allow using QuickForms in Web Browser controls. That change is a necessary one to make, however, there is one more change you must make if you'll be using QuickForms in the Web Browser control that you will be showing as a dialog. When the form is shown in the...

The "Performs Update" Property in the Button Click Actions Validation of required fields in Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web is something that is built in.

I just came across some new info that has been added to SalesLogix 7.5.2 (currently in beta). The ability to add custom controls to Application Architect for use on QuickForms.

There might be times when you need to do some custom formatting in SalesLogix DataGrids that goes way beyond just simple formatting. A perfect example of this is taking a simple value, such as an indentifier from another external system where you want the value in the DataGrid to be a part of a hyperlink to this other system. In this scenario, you might have a value like "12345", which identifies a matching record in another system and you want this to become <a href="http://theothersystem.com/something?id=12345">12345</a> in the grid. This is where the CustomFormatColumn column type comes in. The problem is that this column type can be a little confusing and not well documented.

I last posted about creating a business rule to return a list of objects. Today, I will take that a step further and bind the List to a DataGrid using the built-in GetByMethod for binding the list.

A common thing that any developer will do when creating a form for an application is to create sections for controls to group similar controls in a panel or other container, making it easy for the user to see that the values are related. There isn't exactly support for creating these "sections" in the SalesLogix Web QuickForms. With a quick bit of tweaks we can easily accomplish this result.
