    Infor CRM SLX v8.5.0 Update 01 has been Released
    March 23rd, 2022 by

    The long awaited v8.5.0.01 release is now available!   This release has many updates that include new Application Architect 64 bit application, Mail Merge functionality added back to the browser for emailing, calculated field handling, and many others.

    For a full list of all the updates and fixes click below:

    Whats New: What’s New PDF

    Resolved Issues:  Resolved Issues PDF

    In general, the update for v8.5.0 carries the improvements we needed to see for the base version of 8.5.0 released in 2021.

    WEB CLIENT UPDATES

    Downloading and installing the Word and mail merge integration is available in the Tools> Options menu in the web client.

    Mail merge – in any browser (Email only).  The Word add-in is still required for letter or print mail merge.  The process for creating the new browser templates directly mirrors the CRM Workflow email template formatting and creation.  (Start by typing @ for mentions…)

    • All common browsers are now mail merge compatible for emails, which includes Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.  (The requirement for Internet Explorer has been removed.)
    • You will be able to utilize mapped fields throughout the CRM system and incorporate them into the template as needed for both types of templates.
    • You can now perform a mail merge with contacts associated with sales orders, quotes, contracts, returns, and tickets in addition to accounts and opportunities.
    • All supported browsers allow the completion of mail merge steps within a sales process.

    DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

    They did update development features further to support the Upgrade Safe Customization road map.   Application Architect now includes a Manage Customizations view to allow development to review a list of files that have changed or are out of sync with recent Infor CRM SLX updates.

    Application Architect is now a 64 bit application to allow for better volume handling for development.  What exactly does this mean?  Well for one, the general build and deploy time to complete is SUBSTANTIALLY reduced!  This also includes a fix for the SLX Client portal deployment error that displayed an Out of Memory error. For that one we are grateful, it was not a show stopper but very annoying for the developer.

    Here are some of the development highlights that developers would be interested in:

    Local file system versus Virtual file systems: Managing your changes in a Local File System still carries some workarounds that you must stay aware of.  See the full documentation for the steps to utilize this method.
    Project backups: Currently, you can only restore the Infor project backups from v8.4.0 and v8.5.0.  So be sure to keep your customization bundles versioned off and clean.  That will be the only way you can restore any failed (or corrupted) changes if you need to rollback.  Infor has discussed bringing back the project backup capabilities but as of this release, that is not the case.
    Project Difference Manifest deprecated
    Importing from another project deprecated

    Overall the User interface is unchanged except for a slight re-branding on the naming that was changed to Infor CRM SLX and bringing the email for mail merge back to the browser.  But the difference is more substantial on the development and management of the development.  This new update has solidified the upgrade-safe development into a cohesive software that allows a layered approach to the development where you can choose to release the new forms or keep your customized ones in front of the user.

    Infor CRM Mail Merge – No Longer Tied to Internet Explorer
    August 19th, 2021 by

    That’s right! Mail merge is now available in a way that eliminates the browser restriction

    Infor has released an answer to the mail merge issue that has plagued the software since Microsoft announced the retiring of Internet Explorer.  Previously if you needed to use the web mail merge function in the CRM you were restricted to Internet Explorer and 32 bit Office.   NOW with this new release, not only is 64 bit Office compatible but it is no longer browser isolated!

    Compatibility is listed with Office 2016 and 2019 (Office 365), but we also tested on Office 2013 and it worked as expected.  This new functionality is appropriate for Infor CRM Web Client version 8.3.0.0 and later.

    This new mail merge function is installed as an add-in to Microsoft Word and it adds additional settings to the Mailing ribbon in the Word application.  Configuration is remarkably similar to the XBar and merely requires the SData portal and a user log in.

    Templates created from an earlier version will need to be converted and if you are adding a table to display multiple items we recommend re-creating the template in the new function rather than adding a table to the converted template.  We have had some issues with adding tables but the adding fields works fine in a converted template. A new template created in the new function works great when adding a merge table.

    Converting…

    You can still map fields from the CRM, associate specific user information for a signature, and generate the layout that you have used in the past.

    Send the information to a single person based on a specific record, or merge to a whole group.  Regular dynamic groups and Ad-hoc groups are available.

    Want to send it out as email or print a letter or create a document, no problem!  It also still creates a history record and an activity follow-up in CRM if you wish.

     

     

    Some configuration items to consider to allow the CRM and Office Outlook to work together for mail merge:
    When the two programs wish to work together you may get a window asking you to allow or deny access to the Office program when you run the mail merge.  This form will pop-up for EACH email that you are trying to send!  There is a way to allow the two programs to work together in the Office Trust Center permanently.

    To do this, in Outlook open File > Options > Trust Center> Trust Center Settings button, Then programmatic Access > Mark the ‘Never Warn me about suspicious activity’ radio button.
    *There may be caveats to this permission depending on your company policy.

    If you are interested in this add-in to Word or have questions please let us know and we will be glad to help.

    -ICBOE is now part of the Mobile Client. It is no longer necessary to install a separate bundle. ICBOE for the Mobile Client enables the Mobile user to drill through account-related information available in back office integration.

    Infor CRM update 8.4.0.02 now available!
    October 28th, 2019 by

    It’s been a while since a new release Infor CRM and we’re happy to announce update 02 is available. Here is what you can expect from the update.

    Features added in this update include:

    Application Feature
    Web client Marketo Partitioning Marketo Partitions is an optional feature within a Marketo integration. When enabled, Marketo Partitions enables a contact or lead (defined by email address) to be listed as many times as there are partitions. This allows different marketing teams to market to the same person while tracking results independently.
    For Back Office implementations: New Custom Setting for “Contact Account Management Enabled”. When enabled, this custom setting instructs the inbound processor to cascade changes to the account’s account manager to the account’s related contacts.
    New Custom Setting for “Publish All Addresses”. When enabled, this custom setting allows the outbound processor to publish multiple addresses. To publish only the primary address this custom setting must be cleared.
    New Custom Setting for “Integrated Primary Contact indicator”. The Primary contact indicator is no longer displayed on the Contact details page if your administrator has enabled “Integrated Primary Contact Indicator” in the Back Office Extension, Options tab. The new primary contact flag may be observed in the Contact, Account Associations tab or in the Account, Contact Associations tab. Changes to the primary contact must be made in the Account, Contacts Associations tab grid.
    For Sync for Exchange implementations: (Sync for Exchange only) New Sync for Exchange integration custom setting “Complete Exchange Appointments”, is disabled by default, but when enabled synchronizes all completed appointment between Infor CRM and Exchange.
    Updated the Sync for Exchange integration custom setting “Notify Members of Completion” to be disabled by default. When enabled, activity members are notified when an activity is completed
