Hi,
I want to make contact documents from a CRM like db available to end-users through Addresss lookup or LDAP with creating a sync process to a separate Addressbook.
This probably involves adding specific views to the db and fields to the contact documents.
Does anyone have info they are willing to share on this subject?
Thanks,
Fred
Subject: Try this…
First, copy the following views from names.nsf into your application: ($Users), ($PeopleGroupsFlat),($PeopleGroupsHier)and optionally, ($NamesFieldLookup).
Make sure your CRM form has the following fields: FirstName (Type: Text)
LastName (Type: Text)
FullName (Type: Names)
MailAdress (Type: Text)
Type (Type: Text) value = “Person”
The fields can be computed from existing fields on the form just make sure that they are the proper type and contain the correct values, e.g. fullname should be canonicalized. You can use a person doc from the Domino directory to make sure you’re got it right.
Next, set up directory assistance on the server and add just your CRM database as one of the directories. Make sure the LDAP task is running on the server and your CRM app should be an available LDAP directory.
