Coming Soon:
On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.
Fields that mimic HQ Contacts, plus two checkboxes: "ForCustomer" and "ForSite", and SEQ and SMCO and CALL fields (to link it to one call in SM Call Handler)
Tab in Call Handler named "Contacts", which shows the table mentioned above.
Button in Call Handler named "Load Contacts" which copies the linked contacts from SM Customer and SM Service Site into SM Call Handler Contact.
UPDATE trigger on SM Call Handler Contact that adds/removes the links to SM Customer Contact and SM Service Site Contact, based on the checkbox values "ForCustomer" and "ForSite".
INSERT trigger on SM Call Handler Contact that first adds the new data to HQ Contact, then adds the proper links in SM Customer Contact and SM Service Site Contact.
(If you are doing this, be sure to put protection in place to keep the INSERT trigger from firing when the 'LOAD CONTACTS' button is used)
No DELETE triggers, as the data is only needed while the CSR is actively using the call, and we can clean out the table periodically without issues.
What this accomplishes
While the Client Service Rep (CSR) is on the phone with a client, they can review all the contacts on file and make changes without opening multiple forms. This is a HUGE time saver, and honestly I think something like it should be part of the standard SM Call Handler.
We at Viewpoint sincerely thank you for your contribution to Suggestion Box on how we can improve Viewpoint products. While we can’t do everything at once, we rely upon your feedback to help guide the prioritization of our product improvements, and Suggestion Box is a critical tool for us to understand and prioritize our customers’ needs.
Viewpoint reviews Suggestion Box regularly for all of our products and updates statuses, adds comments, and performs various house-keeping (including deleting) as needed to ensure that Suggestion Box is maintained as a productive environment for product enhancements requests.
Nathan! That is correct! I put in a feature request last year for this. To open multiple forms is completely insane.
My workaround ( ~8 hours of programming )
