Changes in Opportunity View

[enjyshahin]

Dear All

In "New Opportunity" screen can I change its lay out, add new fields and new buttons and delete other through SDK, if so can any one tell me how or direct me, if not so provide me with suitable solution to make these changes.

Thanks in advance

It can be done although I only know one or two people that can do it.  If all else fails take a look at Jim Durkins Opportunity List Plus whatever you are trying to do his product almost certainly does.

Thanks sir for your reply Do these people do it via ACT SDK or something else, also can these people help me?I want to know how to change “New opportunity” view, add new fields to opportunity table, add these fields to “New opportunity” view, and delete other existing fields.

Thanks in advance

1) I don't change the opportunity view using OLP. In that product I actually recreate the entire form.

    BTW- I can change the forms layout using The Durkin Toolkit but that still in beta.

2) You can not add new fields to the opportunity table. It would break the sudo opp entity.

  BTW2- Also using The Durkin Toolkit end-users will be able to create additional fields

on any view like 'Edit Opportunity" and/or 'Edit Activity.

To all;

some people may be wondering were is the Toolkit? Well, last month I decided to create the Durkin SDK for the Toolkit.

Yes, other developers will be able to create add-ons for The Durkin Toolkit add-on.  I am already using one such plugin

for managing my email campaigns. I plan to release the Durkin SDK and email campaign plugin project for example code.

More on the Durkin SDK in the near future.

You can download the 10.0.2 update from help.act.com .  If you are updating a live system you will need to update all machines that will be accessing the database.
