Dynamic Layouts on Custom Object

Is there a way to set up a dynamic layout on a custom object?

I dont think the functionality is there today

Dynamic Layout on Edit Customer page

Hi, I need to customize Edit Customer page so that when the value of Line Of Business is "A", some fields should hide and some others should show, and when the value of Line Of Business is "B", those hidden fields should appear and some fields should hide.
I've seen some documentation about customization, but I couldn't do what I need so far. The documents always say to use the Oracle Composer (Administration > Customize Customers Page), then click on "Select" on the left-upper corner, then click on the desired component and "Edit Component". There, I should be able to write some groovy expression on Expression Builder to indicate whether to hide or show the component, based on another field's value.
My problem is that the options in the menu is always inaccessible! I have a print, but I don't know if I can attach it here neiter how to attach it....
Does anybody have any idea of how to accomplish this? Is there any other way to do this type of customization?
Any help would be appreciated...

In Rel8, app composer introduces dynamic layout. This feature allows an object to have many create and detail layouts.
These layouts can be dynamically shown based on role, record type, or advanced expressions. Record type and Advanced Expression run against the record.
Think of it as the state of the record i.e. Record Type = 'Hot' Show Layout 1, Record Type = 'Cold' Show Layout

Dynamic Configuration of custom Context Objects: is it possible?

Guys,
is it possible to use Dynamic Configuration for custom Context Objects as we normally do to technical context objects?
Also, is it possible to use a context object in receiver determination, even if it is not assigned to a message interface?
My case: I need to use condition at receiver determination but I dont want to read a field from payload. Instead, I want to write that context object with dynamic configuration and use it at receiver determination runtime.
I want to do this in order to avoid having to extend the payload's message type because of this extra field for condition (actually, its not that I dont want to, its that I cant. The message type is defined by 3rd party and cant be changed). If it is possible to keep that information at header instead of payload, it'd be great.
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Henrique.

Hi,
>>>>>Just a last comment: do you need to deploy any code for the adapter on SDM or just the "fake adapter metadata file" is enough?
no SDM
just the metadata file as per my blog
glad this is what you wanted

Using a Custom Object to allow an Entity to link to itself

Hey folks,
Have a feeling the answer to this is No, but have to ask anyway.
Is there any way that anyone is aware of to use a Custom Object to link an Entity to itself? For example... We have a CO (Custom Object) which is linked to Service Request. I want to link this CO to Service Request again, allowing one Service Request to be linked to another Service Request via the CO. I can obviously link Service Request to the CO, but the second link doesn't seem likely.
Cheers,
Mark

You can link multiple Service Requests to a single Custom Object (1-3) very easliy. Just expose SRs under related items on the Custom Object and adjust Access Profiles appropriately. Alternately, you can add Custom Objects to related items on the Service Request page layout so SRs can be linked to multiple COs.
In the end, you can end up with one CO linked to multiple SRs. This should give you what you are looking for - there may be more elaborate solutions involving multiple advanced custom objects.
The key, of course, is how you need this data to be viewed or reported on. You'll need to assess this solution to see if the output is what you require.

Many to Many with Custom Objects 4 and up

Hello,
Pls. I need to define a new CO4 that will have a many to many relationship with Contact.
From OD help pg.775 I understand that I should use another CO (f.ex. CO5) to be the intersection. Help file indicates how to rename the objects...and put them in the related info. section... but I don´t know what FIELDS (if any) I should define in the intersection CO5.
Pls. Anyone could help ?
Txs. a lot.
Antonio

Yes. You have to define them in CO5 Layout.
You should see Name, Contact and Custom Object 04 (you may have renamed it). Not the Id field.
Then when you add THE CO5 layout to Contact Related section, you can add new association between Contact and CO4.
Don't forgot to enable the Access Profiles in Contact, CO4 and CO5.

Auto-populate fields in Custom Object Based on Another Record

Hello,
I am hoping to auto-populate a few default values in a new Custom Object record based on an associated Lead record. The layout is this:
I use the Lead record to take care of most of the information in the sales stages until the product is sold. The Lead record has fields to record information for a one product sale. The sales person can then use the Custom Object (called 'GX Additional Product') (which shows up in the Related Information section of the Lead record) to add additional items to a sales order request. Many of the fields in the GX Additional Product (custom object) record are identical to fields already filled out in the Lead record.
What I would like to do, is when a new GX Additional Product (custom object) is added to the Lead record, those identical fields already filled out in the Lead record, by default, populate the corresponding fields in the new GX Additional Product (custom object) record.
Is this possible? Is this something that can be done with JoinFieldValues? If so, I've had a bit of confusion trying to set up a JoinFieldValues expression.
If you have any information to share that would be helpful, that would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Hi,
You can use JoinFieldValue to Custom Objects from other entities, cause you will have other objects' ID recorded inside the CO's, when you open a new detail record associated with the parent. Make sure your custom object is showing as a detail section (N:1) into lead´s main page. Try with one field first, using the exact syntax provided at samples listed at product documentation.

Dynamic Layouts For Call

Hi
Call Functionality (Account Call/ Contact Call) uses Activity object.We have dynamic layouts for Appointment and task ? Can we create dynamic layouts for Call ( For new Call / Auto Call)

Dynamic layouts are supported for Tasks and Appointments.

Export Custom Object search results

I've selected my search criteria in one of my customer objects. The result is a set of records containing specific data items that I need. This data is not available in the contact record. I need to export just this set of records and not my entire Customer Object universe. Is that functionality available? Any help is appreciated.

Method 1:
Custom object > Reporting (drop-down from the top-right) > Custom Object Record Field Values (or percentages)
Select your field, click "Select"
Click into any field values that interest you
Observe an exportable list of records
(Limitation = cannot use wildcards)
Method 2:
Insight. This requires the analyzer license. Custom Object Record values are not subject to the normal 24 hour delay that almost all other data is. At most there is a ~30 second delay between CDOs and Insight.
Ensure that the Custom Object Record and the fields from it you want are available in Insight. You want to include your unique field because the values are deduplicated in Insight otherwise. Build a report that includes the unique field and the field your value of interest is in. Filter on the column of interest and run the report. Export as desired.
Method 3:
API. From any open Eloqua window where you've already logged in, go to this URL: https://secure.eloqua.com/api/docs/dynamic/rest/1.0/reference.aspx
(This is not for the tame and feint of heart.)

Inventory Management using Custom Object 07

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to use custom object 07 as Inventory.
I have renamed custom object 07 as Inventory. I have verified that already a relationship exists between this custom object and Products. So, I modified the Inventory Page Layout to make the products related information section visible. I have created access profiles and role appropriately. I was able to see the products related information section in the Inventory detail page but I didn't see any means of associating records with the inventory like buttons.
Did I miss any step? Also could you point me to documentation related to custom objects?
Thanks and Regards
Naren B

Hi Bobb. Thanks for the reply.
My requirement doesn't require any reports to be developed. So, I didn't think about it. I tried to use custom object 7 for as Inventory. So, i just renamed Custom object 7 as Inventory. Already there is a relationship existing between custom object 7 and products. So, I went to the related information layout of Inventory(CO-7) and used the standard information layout provided for products. But, I didn't find any buttons to associate a product in the related information section under inventory. My main requirement is to manage inventory transactions. When a shipment is receiving the available quantity and the quality of the product have to be changed accordingly and so on. Currently I am using custom objects 1,2 and 3 for this purpose and i was able to achieve the requirement. Don't know what was wrong. May be the button was disabled purposefully. I will check it out and i will let you know. Can you explain in brief in two to three steps the procedure you followed ?
Thanks and Regards

Custom Object Reporting

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a report on Custom Object4 and Custom Object5 (CO5 is a child object of CO4).The report is getting generated perfectly . Now my aim is to pass the report in a web applet under Custom Object4 so that report gets filtered accordingly. I have added the report in web applet but the problem that i m facing is that the same report gets generated Under all the records of CO4 even if it has got or not any child items in CO5.
Any help is welcomed
Thanks and Regards
Sablok

Hi Sablok,
Mere prompting is insuffucient. Presently you would be using the link https://secure-ausomxapa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2fusers%2fcrmit-demo%23crmit%2fPaulSwarnapandian%2fCo2+Applet&Options=rfd&Action=Prompt+ in the report.
However you need to use the link https://secure-ausomxapa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2fusers%2fcrmit-demo%23crmit%2fPaulSwarnapandian%2fCo2+Applet&Options=rfd&Action=navigate&p0=1&p1=eq&p2=CustomObject4.ROW_ID&p3=%%%Id%%%+ in the web applet.
Following is the explanation
Action=Prompt should become Action=Navigate; the reason is navigation is used when we use the report in the detail page.
&p0=1; p0 refers to the number of filters used. We are using only one filter "RowId is prompted" and hence it is one.
&p1=eq; this refers to equal
&p2=CustomObject4.ROW_ID ; this refers to the Report field that is being prompted; in your case it is the Custom Object 4's RowId
&p3=%%%Id%%%; this also refers to the row id that is to be passed like XXXX-AAAAA. This will pass dynamically for each and every CO4.
My email id is [email protected] and contact number is 8197839902. Please mail/call me in case of any issue.
Regards
Paul

How to make a custom object function the same as the Competitor and Partner

Would like to use a custom object to function the same way the Competitor and Partner objects work in CRM. I have not be able to accomplish this. Do you know if it is possible? Can the specialized functionality of the account relationships fields and layouts be leverage with a custom object?

Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply.
I assumed that if I used the project style sheet during the export, Word would convert the style so that it looked the same as in the HTML. Is that a bad assumption? I'm currently not mapping to any template equivalent for these message box styles. I did try it as one of my attempts, but I couldn't figure it out. It never seemed to take the style in the .dot.
Anyway, if I use just 1 style, such as just the MsgBox, I obviously don't get the white paragraph between the title and message. That white paragraph comes from the first <p> tag in the MsgBox style. But I need to have the <p> tags in there because they're better for our localization process than line breaks.
I did do some tweaks that made it look better. Basically I structured it so that the MsgBoxTitle div is now inside the MsgBox div. Something like this:
<div class="MsgBox">
    <div class="MsgBoxTitle">PC-DMIS MESSAGE: </div>
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated.</p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
And then I adjusted my styles borders, padding, and thickness. That helped it look more connected, but still doesn't look quite right:
Would love to get rid of that white space after the title.
If you have time, I would be interested in a more detailed example of how you did it.

JoinFieldValue - Workflow Custom Object 4

Hello,
How can I retrieve data from a field on Custom Object 4 to Service Request.
I used Custom Object 4 to load our Machines. And On service request, I exposed the custom object 4 field on Service Request Page Layout to let the users pick a Machine. So when the users pick a machine, I would like to bring over some additional Machine details and populate it on the service request page
I am trying to do this with a workflow by using Joinfieldvalue on Custom Object4 but running in to issues.
JoinFieldValue('<CustomObject4>',<CustomObject4Id>,'<IndexedPick0>') . Its giving syntax error saying invalid field customobject4.
Thanks,
SKJ

Hello,
You cannot get data from Custom Object 4 to Service request.
You can get data only from the following objects:
Account
Asset
Contact
CustomObject1
CustomObject2
CustomObject3
Dealer
Product
User

Custom object not seen

Hi,
When I am selecting any object from record type setup(example:custom object1) I am not being able to see it in the homepage tab section(like accounts,contacts etc).It is also not shown in Personal Tab Layout.Is it possible to see it anyway?
Arpita

You will need to grant access within the role profile for this Custom Object. Also under Access Profile on all object the custom object should appear as a related item. If you want to add it as a tab then this can also be performed through the role management and personal mayout under My setup.
Once you have completed all this log out and back in the you should be able to view the new record
