Configuring the Link History Button and Inactive Field in the User Interface for Many-to-Many Records

After you configure the dialog box for the Link History button, you configure the Link History button and the Inactive field in the appropriate applet in the user interface. The Inactive field indicates whether the record is active or inactive.

In this procedure, you configure the Link History button and the Inactive field in the Contacts view of the Accounts screen, but, if necessary, you can also configure the Link History button and the Inactive field in the Accounts view of the Contacts screen.

To configure the Link History button and the Inactive field in the user interface

  1. Determine the applet that will display the Link History button and the Inactive field.

    In this example, the Account Contact List Applet will display the Link History button and the Inactive field.

  2. For the applet, add the LinkHistory control.

    The following table includes the values in the columns for the LinkHistory control.

    Caption - String Reference HTML Only HTML Type Method Invoked Runtime

    Select the string reference for the Link History current string value.

    True

    MiniButtonEdit

    ShowPopup

    True
    Note: To select a different button name, you must first create a string reference for the button name in the Symbolic Strings project and then deliver the changes to the Integration Branch.

  3. Right-click the applet, select Edit Web Layout, move the Link History button to the Edit List mode of the applet.

    Note: If the Edit List mode is not available for the applet, then move the Link History button to the mode of the applet in the view that contains the applet. To determine this mode, navigate to View Web Template Item for the view that contains the applet in Object Explorer. This mode appears in the Applet Mode column for the applet.

  4. For the applet, add user properties to the LinkHistory control.

    The following table includes the values in the columns for the user property names in the LinkHistory control.

    Name Value
