Report on Contacts Interests (related information section)

I have activated the "Contact Interests" feature (related info section for a Contact) and "Contact Relationship". I'm not planning on using the "Contact Relationship" feature at the time but I will be using the "Contact Interests" If and only IF I can report on it.
I'd like to create a report that shows a list of contacts and their interests but i can't seem to find the "Contact Interests" to add to my report.
Also, I tried to do an advance search to see if I could get a list of contacts with a specific interest (golf, funds,etc...) but couldn't find how to search by that field.
FYI- don't get confused thinking that this is a custom object because it isn't. I say this because when I called customer support they had no idea what I was talking about. Thanks God for 2nd Tier.
Prompt suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

On R15 you cannot report off Contact Interests, but in R16 you can - at least that's oracle's word. You may want to ask your customers to wait till June. If your need is urgent then build some web services which will populate this data into an external database and report off that.

Related Information Section Settings

Hello everyone,
I have Accounts (renamed-Schools) with Contacts & Service Requests as the related information sections on the detail page. I added a custom applet - Google Maps to the Account Detail Page.
My question is that by default the sections are expanded and display the information it holds. Is there any setting or other way such that they are by default minimized and only expand when you click on the [+] sign so that it takes up less space and reduces scrolling?
Thank You.
P.S. - I am new to the forums - any advice on posting to the correct place or in the correct format is appreciated. Thanks

gmshah, you can close any of the related sections and then logout and log back in and those sections will be closed (it remembers what you want open or closed).

Opportunity Product-Revenue related information section

Hi,
We are going to use the 'Product Revenue' related information section on the Opportunity for Products & Services. Hence, we want to rename this section to 'Products & Services' instead of 'Product Revenue'. I tried to change the name of the Object Type Revenue, but that is not possible using the 'Rename Object Type' function. Does anyone know whether it is possible to change the name and how to do it.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Niels Rekers

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
Is it known when it will be possible? Is that with R16 and when will that Release be released?
Kind regards,

Error in Account related information sections Access denied.(SBL-DAT-00553)

Hi,
I have 2 users, 1 from Spain and the other from Italy.
The spanish user is the owner of an account and adds the user from italy to the account team section with full access to the account.
The italian user is able to view the account. However the italian user is not able to view any of the custom objects in the related information sections below the account information.
The error is as follows:
Access denied.(SBL-DAT-00553)
Both users have the same role. However, if he/she is not the owner of the account but only a 'Team' member, he's able to view the account but not the CO's below the account. I've checked the access profiles and roles and it all seems fine. Oracle support confirmed this as well as both users were able to search and view the CO records without any issues. It's just that it hits the error if it's in the related information section.
I was just wondering if I'm missing any settings for customer team.
Currently, I'm not even sure if Customer team functionality was built for use with custom objects in related information sections.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, What i meant is, if you are using C04 - C015 objects, then ensure under related sections of Accounts in "Full" access profile, you set it as "View" or "Read-Only" instead of "No Access". "No Access" is what being set by OnDemand by default even though the access profile is named as "Full"

Territories Related Information Section

Hi All
In the Automotive edition, on the Dealer detail page, there is a Territories related information section that does not appear to be linked to the Territories that I have set up in my Territory Management. Are these not the same? Am not sure if I have misunderstood something or is this an error?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Gail

You will need to replicate your territories again via "Record Type Setup" -> "Dealer Territory Field Setup" -> Edit Picklist of field "Name".

Report on Contact and related Accounts

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to create a report to display information on All Contacts and Related Accounts. There can be multiple Accounts or none associated with Contact.
I tried using AccountContact History Object and it gives me list of contacts only if it has one Account associated. It skips one which does not have any Account.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

Access to Related Information Section

Hi,
I am not able to edit the Opportunity Accounts related information in the Opportunity details page when I am not the owner of the Opportunity Accounts record.
But if I'm the owner of the Opportunity Accounts record, then I'm able to edit the record. I want to change the setup to allow anyone to edit the record if they can see it.
I couldn't find out what I'm missing and I'm quite new to this application. Thanks !

I could not reproduce your case. I tried this... (I am User B)
User A has owner access profile
read only for opportunity
read only for custom object 2
view for opportunity---customobject 2
User B has owner and default access profile
read/edit/delete for opportunity
read/edit/delete for custom object 2
view for opportunity---customobject 2
Now...
opportunity owner = User A
custom object 2 owner = User A
In this case I (User B) could edit it from opportunity related section as well as drilling into custom object 2 and editing from there
Also
opportunity owner = User A
custom object 2 owner = User B
In this case I (User B) could edit it from opportunity related section as well as drilling into custom object 2 and editing from there
If your case setup is different, could you provide a detailed repro steps?

Related Information Section Details to Main SR Page

Hi All,
We have new requirement where we need to send an email when an SR is modified to the SR contact. When sending the email, the body of the email should have the details of activities (both open & closed) with the SR details.
Do we have any option in Siebel on demand where we can populate information from (open & close activities) to any field in SR. By doing this we can then use that SR field which will have activities to send email.
Please let us know if we have a solution.
Thanks
Natraj

Hi Natraj,
The possibility could be trigerring a workflow when a activity is closed / open for a associated SR , and creating a long text field (which holds 255 characters) in SR and populating the values of activity in it

Customising Related Information Layouts

Hello,
For the Accounts Related List under Contact I want to add the Status field.
Unfortunately Status is not one of the availalbe fields to be customised on the Accounts Related Information Section.
Does anyone know if we can change which fields are available within 'Step 2: field set-up' for customising Related Lists.
Regards
Minesh Patel

The Related Information list for both accounts (under contacts) and contacts (under accounts) works with the Account Contact Table. You cannot create new fields to this table. You also cannot bring any fields from either Account or contact objects. This is an intersection table that needs major enhancement

Contact Related Information layout (on Opportunity page)

Hi!
I would like to customize the Contact Related Information layout from the Opportunity page. I would like to be able to add the Contact Phone Number within that section, but, as you can see in the attached screenshot, the only fields available in Contact Related Information layout are: First Name, Last Name, Name, Primary, Buying Role, Owner + other Opportunity specific fields like (Close Date, Forecast, Sales Stage etc.) How come I find Opportunity fields in Contact Related Information layout instead of finding Contact specific fields (like Phone Number, Contact Type etc.)?
Thank you,
Delora

Delora, I would recommend that you submit a enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care for the additional contact fields.

Creating a calendar format on contact related information

Hi All,
We need to be able to detect appointments made by different sales reps during the same timeframe in the contact related information.
Has anybody done anything before to achieve a Calendar visualization from within the Contact related information ? If so, do you have any instructions concerning how to set this up?
Cheers
Bhas.

Hi, You can try out surfacing a report (plain / pivot) but the look and feel may not match to standard calendar. If the requirement is specific about the look, then a customer webservices based solution surfaced as an applet is an option

Cascating Related information

Can i create a cascating related information like cascating picklist?
for example: i have one "account" with many "contacts". i a custom object, i have to select first "account" and then "contact".
when i have a "account" selected and click in lookup for "contacts", the new window show me only the "contacts" related with the selected "account".
i want to use the selected "account" like a filter for "contact" search.
it's possible?
thanks!

May be you can look at creating a WebApplet that contains a Report or Dahsboard to acheive your result.
Then use a narrative view to
a) construct a url that will create a record that you want. It is like using a weblink but using html in a narrative view
or
b) use a webservices code to create a record that you want.

Customizing Related Information Layout

Hi,
Need to add the "Last Activity" field in "Contact" Related Information Layout for "Accounts" record type.
The Problem is, can't find the "Last Activity" field in the Available Section of the Related Information layout for Contacts in Accounts record type.
How can I add a field in the Available section to get it to the selected section.
Thanks

The last activity field is not available in the contact related information layout for the account record type at this time. Fields will be added in a future release.

How can you modify the displayed columns on a Related Information List?

How can you modify the displayed columns on a Related Information List? For example, how could you add the "Type" column to the List of columns displayed for Service Requests when you are viewing the Contacts Detail page?
Thanks

I'd have to say I think this is one of the biggest flaws in the OnDemand system currently. The solution I have come up with is to create reports and put them in webapplets showing the data I want to show. I have then removed the standard Related Info List Objects and added weblinks to create new records as the button on the List object is also gone.
Keep in mind that doing this does slow things down a little, so it may not work if you have a big user base.
