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 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 […]
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 […]
If you’re using SData to create Opportunity records, you’ll likely need to also start sales processes for those opportunities as well. Sales processes in Infor CRM (SalesLogix) is a mess with all the XML etc. Luckily, there’s an out of the box business rule we can use that does all the messy stuff for us. […]
It’s a good practice when customizing the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client to always be aware of how your customizations will impact performance. A good way to make sure that the client performs quickly is to offset work to the client, instead of always using server-side code. Using the SData API in the web client […]
I’ve posted a few times before about customizing the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Activity Editor Dialog. It’s a form made up of 100% Javascript so customizing it isn’t like your typical Infor CRM Web customizations. In this article, we’ll be looking at how to customize the lookup to add contact attendees (participants) to the activity. Specifically, […]
Customizing the Activity Dialog in Infor CRM Web is not like customizing other forms. This form is not a QuickForm/SmartPart or ASP.NET form. Instead, it is made entirely of Javascript. However, once you’ve learned the basics of how to work with it, you actually have every bit as much flexibility, or more, than working with a […]
When working with the Infor CRM SData REST API from a .NET application or website, there are a few different choices for libraries you can use to make the SData code easier. The original library was called the SDataCSharpClientLib, which I have written about previously. However, the SDataCSharpClientLib was replaced with the newer DotNetSDataClient library. […]
When you hit the test link it should test with the "The feed tested successfully" message. However, if it does not and does not change the Saleslogix Feed and instead returns Error 500 then you will need to modify the ENDPOINTURL in SQL Management Studio.
I had the need to call a business rule in Infor CRM from a stored procedure in SQL. This turned out to be a relatively easy task, although you want to make sure you think through what you’re doing for this to not introduce performance problems in SQL. Keep in mind, sometimes SData requests can […]
If this is a constant issue in the Event viewer "ERROR Sage.SalesLogix.Web.SLXMembershipProvider - No error message available, result code: E_FAIL(0x80004005)." It may be due
Accessing system level data, such as picklists, groups, etc, is an easy task with the SData system endpoint. In this post we will look at how to retrieve picklists and picklist items using SData, C#, and the DotNetSDataClient library. The DotNetSDataClient Library As I mentioned in an earlier post outlining SData resources, the DotNetSDataClient Library […]
The Infor CRM SData REST API is a web API that allows you to access the entire Infor CRM entity model, complete with business rules & events defined in the Application Architect along with other system data such as users, picklists, etc. The SData API allows you to interact with Infor CRM data over the […]
If you started with an earlier version of SalesLogix Mobile, let's say version 7.5.4, and customized the mobile platform at level 1.2 you may find the mobile client no longer runs and the existing custom screens don't allow you to upgrade to version 3.0.4. You have two options here - have someone recreate the custom screens for version 3.0.4 or remove the customized screens and start over with a basic mobile v3.0.4.
Saleslogix is very light on how to use client side processes to do things in the Saleslogix web client. I have decided to start to try to document snippets of things I find useful and make a repository of them. The first one I am showing here is how to retrieve a list of picklist […]
When installing the new XBar application I found the instructions a little vague so I thought I would pass on a clarification.
Often times a web implementation will have an application server that is used to deploy the web portals to a web host server. When the Saleslogix web client and SData portals are deployed and then tested an Internal Server Error is encountered on the URL, similar to the following: Http://Webserver:3333/slxclient/slxdata.ashx/$app/scheduling/-/executions?
I recently ran into an issue with a client’s system who was using SQL views as entities. This is a powerful capability of Saleslogix but there is one caveat. Make sure that the Saleslogix view is in all caps. When you add the view as an entity, one of the attributes that gets generated is […]
