question about customization of crm
Posted by xdespont@gmail.com on May 15th, 2008


Hello

I would like to know if it's possible to add a count field (field of
counting ??) on customizable entity. When I go to personnalization /
contact / attribute / New, i can choose some types (nvarchar,
picklist, money, ....) with format for some of them. But i would like
that field was the result of content of another field (by instance)
*12 or result of content of database * 12. ...


Is a way to do this ?

moreover, when i upload a xml word document to mailshot, i can choose
maximum of 62 data fields (among of customizable fields). Can we
increase this maximum ?

Thanks

Best regards

Hi,

I understand you need a calculated field, based on other field(s) values.

Personnally, the only solution I see is this one:

1. define your field as integer or float or money, whatever is suitable to
hold the result of the calculation;
2. compute the value on the OnChange event of the field(s) involved in the
formula.

I work this way and I have no problems.

Regards,

Some other options:

1. Using workflow (only in MS CRM 4.0 possible, as in 3.0 no onchange-based
workflow exists)

2. Server-side calculation (PlugIn in MS CRM 4.0 or CallOut in MS CRM 3.0)

Both solutions show the actual values a little bit delayed, not instantly on
the form.

Regards,

Robert

You could also create a report that does it, display the report in the
form under its own area, hide the fact its a report. I am doing
something for this for Account Lifetime Opportunity figures. Managers
love it. See.
