Configuring the Dialog Box for the Effective Date Button

After you create and update the business components for the effective dating fields, you configure the dialog box that appears when users click the effective date button for the base business component.

To configure the dialog box for the effective date button

1. Copy the Contact Field ED Popup Applet, rename the copied applet with the name of the base business component for which you want to set up effective dating fields, and change the business component for the applet to the history business component for the history table.

   In this example, the name of the copied applet is Account Field ED Popup Applet.

   Note: In the List Columns for the applet, make sure that the Field Value field, Effective Start Date field, and Effective End Date field appear in the user interface. Also, in the Edit List mode for the applet layout, make sure that the following controls are mapped in the web layout: NewRecord, DeletedRecord, NewQuery, EDRefreshBusComp, PopupQueryComboBox, SetFieldContext, and CloseApplet.

2. Deliver the changes to the Integration Branch.
