Scenario Overview

In this scenario we are required to make a simple CSV list of all Product Line items associated with an Opportunitywhenever the Topic field is changed or whenever a Quick Button is clicked. We will save this list into the Description field for simplicity in this example.

North52 Decision Suite Solution

The North52 Decision Suite solution works like this,

  • A formula of type 'Save - Perform Action' is created which triggers off both changes to a field Topic and clicking a Quick Button 
  • This formula creates a CSV list of all the Opportunity Products as a string variable
  • The formula then saves this variable to the Opportunity entity's Description field 

North52 Decision Suite Steps

Setup - Formula SetVarConcat

  • Create a new formula of type Save - Perform Action
  • Set the Event to 'Create and Update'
  • Set Source Entity as 'Opportunity '
  • Set Source Property as 'Topic'
  • Click into the Formula Editor canvas
  • Copy and paste the formula below into the Formula Editor
  • Click Save

Now when you change the Topic in a Opportunity, the description will fill with a list of the Product Description (you may need to add a few  Product  Description  to see this ) 

Formula

 

SmartFlow(

  ForEachRecord(

    FindRecords('opportunityproduct',
                'opportunityid',
                [opportunity.opportunityid],
                SetFindSelect('productdescription') ,
                '50',
                'true'), 

    SetVarConcat('CSV List', 
                CurrentRecord('productdescription') + ',')
  ),

  UpdateRecord('opportunity',
          [opportunity.opportunityid],
          SetAttribute('description',Trim(GetVar('CSV List'),',') )
  ) 
) 

 

Setup - Quick Button

  • Create the Quick Button for this formula
  • Open the form designer of the Opportunity entity
  • Click on the Insert tab and click on Web Resource 
  • In the Web Resource field that appears, seach for "north52_quick_"
  • Select north52_quick_button_advanced_htm
