    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.

    October 28th, 2019 by

    Hello everyone! Infor CRM Mobile 4.0.0 for v8.3.0 and later is now available for download on the Infor Xtreme website. Watch a quick demo now!

    What’s New in this Release?

    This release contains the following enhancements:

    The following new enhancements were added in Mobile v3.6 and will be in v4.0:
    -Two new files: configuration/development.default.js and configuration/production.default.js, will enable preserving modifications to default settings (such as to enable Multi-currency) in future upgrades.
    -Field level security: Settings made in Infor CRM Web Administrator for the Web Client will now cascade into the Mobile Client. This is only available if your version of Infor CRM is 8.3.0.5 or later.
    -Mobile can now use the 24 hour clock. Settings enables the user to manually change between the 12 and 24 hour
    clocks. The default setting is specified by regional settings.
    -Settings contains two new offline options: users can clear their Briefcase and clear Recently Viewed records as well as clearing all records and showing record usage.
    -Integrations with ERP LX support “Availability to Promise” in Mobile: New Click to check warehouse availability enables users to verify if the warehouse selected has the requested volume of inventory on hand.

    The following new enhancements were added in Mobile v4.0 (includes updates from 3.6.1):
    -Users can look up Contacts based on the Accounts to which they are associated.
    -The Infor CRM Mobile Client supports single sign-on when Infor CRM is integrated with Infor Ming.le. For more
    information, see “Enabling single sign-on using Infor Ming.le” on page 12.
    -The new Contour feature enables searching the Infor CRM database for other accounts that are in a specific

    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.

    Infor Contour for Infor CRM v8.3.0.04 and Higher
    August 17th, 2017 by

    What is Infor Contour?

    As Teri said in her blog titled, “Infor v8.3.0 Update 05 – This one packs a Wallop“, Contour integration provides the ability to map contact and account addresses in order to vastly improve vicinity-related scheduling.   You also have the ability to add places that are not contacts or accounts, such as a hotel or airport.

    • Contour is only available in Infor 8.3.0 update 04 or later and it is a free feature.
    • It geo-codes all the addresses of your accounts in Infor CRM.
    • Once implemented, you navigate to “Places” in your left-hand side sales navigation of the web client. This is where the ‘FROM’ directions can be stored, such as your home or office address, this will be useful when you plan visits to accounts and need directions to get there. It is also possible to use a temporary position as needed.

    • If you open the detail view for a specific “account“, notice you now have an option towards the bottom right-hand corner that says “Show on map“. This will allow you to see exactly where that account’s address is on a map and from there you can get generate directions.


    (Click on image to view larger)

    • Also, if you click on the “Tools” tab in the top toolbar pane, you can select “Contour distance search“.  In this section you will be able to define an area and map all accounts that are within that area. For example, say you are traveling from your office to Dayton OH and you want to plan visits to all the companies in that city, this tool will show you where they are and even create a logical path for you to take to visit them all.

    (Click on image to view larger)

    • This functionality is also available in the mobile client.

    Contour for Infor CRM is a mapping tool built right into the application.  Sales and support visits can now be scheduled with vicinity-related accuracy to better utilize your business resources and increase coverage availability.  Contour does rely on Bing and Google API accounts for the trip mapping and some cost can be accrued for the ‘calls’ to the API, but there is a free level of API from both providers that will allow you to test the system functionality.  Additional plans for increased usage can be purchased directly from each provider and they are based on transaction rates.  Google API information HERE and Bing API information HERE

    Here is a step by step guide to implement in Infor CRM  :  Infor Contour

    If you would like to have a demo or get more information on the Contour feature, please let us know and we will be glad to help.

    Infor CRM Job Service Troubleshooting and Updates
    June 21st, 2016 by

      Unger_Teri With the advent of new job handling procedures starting in v8.0.0, Infor introduced the Job Services.  The Infor CRM Job Server is used for a number of purposes in the CRM environment, including generating Crystal reports, automating the rollover of past-due activities, performing bulk deletions and record updates, and synchronization of information between CRM and other applications such as Outlook.

         Infor has published an article on troubleshooting this service and as critical a piece of the puzzle that this function is becoming, we felt it prudent to make sure that everyone had access  to this information.  View KB 1579625 – Troubleshooting the Infor CRM Job Services below.

    Defects:

    There are several defects that have been earmarked as job services functions.  Please review the release information below to see if you are affected by these defects.

    Infor CRM v8.1.0 Update 08

    (Updates include but not limited to)

    INFORCRM-5726-An access violation in the Crystal Reports crdb_ado.dll library may cause a crash in the JobService or the SlxClient portal.

    INFORCRM-5729-An OutOfMemoryException may occur when large reports are run frequently in either the JobService or the SlxClient portal.

    A newly updated SLXJobServer Configuration file

    New versions of executables and library files:
    SLXJobServer.exe 8.1.0.1287
    SLXJobServer.exe.config
    JobManagerActions.js
    JobManagerGroupContextService.js
    JobNotificationButton.js
    JobNotificationPopup.js
    Jobs.js
    JobSchedulingWidget.js

    JobManagerGroupContextService.js
    JobNotificationButton.js

    Saleslogix.ReportingJobs.dll 8.2.0.1259

    Fixes for the newest version Infor CRM v8.3.0…

    Infor CRM v8.3.0

    Update 01 has been released but it does not contain the fix for the job services as listed in the prior versions.  We estimate it will be contained in the next update for v8.3.0.

    If you would like to discuss upgrading your system, or to see a free demonstration, please contact Simplesoft Solutions.

    KB 1579625  Troubleshooting the Infor CRM Job Service   https://www.inforxtreme.comSolution1579625  (login required)

    General Job Server configuration settings

    1. Ensure that the actual executable (SLXJobServer.exe) has been upgraded to 8.1.
    2. Port 1895 must be open for inbound and outbound traffic on the server hosting the Job Server executable as well as the web servers.
    3. SData must be deployed, configured, and functional in order for the Job Service (and thereby the Web Client) to operate properly.
    4. Map the WebDLL user to the Saleslogix Admin user in Administrator. Double-check that the WebDLL user is properly configured on the web servers and the job server itself – proper permissions and local server rights, etc.
    5. Ensure that the Use Windows Authentication box is checked in Admin > Tools > Options > Passwords
    6. Ensure that in IIS under Authentication for both SLXClient and SData that Anonymous is configured as the same user for the Application Pool (default is WebDLL)
    7. Set the SalesLogix Job Service to log on as WebDLL.
    8. Deploy the SLXJobService portal from within Application Architect. Note that if this is an upgrade they will have to manually add the portal to the Core Portals deployment; this is a mandatory step, as the SLXJobService is no longer an optional component for web environments. Also note the path to which the portal is deployed.
    9. On the server hosting the SalesLogix Job Service, locate the SLXJobServer.exe.config file. Verify that the sage.scheduling.server.tenantRoot value matches the path to which the portal was deployed in step 6.
    10. On each web server, locate the web.config file for the SData portal. In the Sage.Integration.WebAdapters section of the file, ensure that there is an entry for Sage.Platform.Scheduling.SData.Adapter.
    11. On each web server, locate the appSettings.config file for the SData portal. In the Sage.Scheduling.Client.serverURL section, edit the URL from ‘localhost’ to the server name of the server hosting the actual job service.
    12. On each web server, locate the appSettings.config file for the SlxClient portal. Repeat step 9 for this file.
    13. If the Job Server service is installed on a separate server from the SData portal, you will need to run the standard SetSPN steps (as though enabling Windows authentication) on the server hosting the Job Server service.
      • Setspn –A http/SERVER.DOMAIN DOMAIN\SERVICEUSER
      • Setspn –A http/SERVER DOMAIN\SERVICEUSER
    14. If you keep getting an error with an invalid http request, go to the tenant.config file found under ..\Sage\Scheduling\Tenants\SlxJobService make sure the address under <servers> is set as follows:      <add address=”localhost” port=”11211″ />     (the local loopback to 127.0.0.1 may be blocked)
    15. Perform an IISRESET
    16. Attempt to start the SalesLogix Job Service.

    Executing the Job Service via command console

    The SalesLogix Job Server can be run via command line, which outputs a great deal more information than is visible within the Web Client. This can be useful for gathering data for troubleshooting.

    1. In Windows Services, stop the SalesLogix Job Service.
    2. In Task Manager, end the exeprocess if necessary.
    3. Open a command prompt as administrator.
    4. At the command prompt, change directory to the SLXJobServer.exe location.
      Example: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\SalesLogix\
    5. Type the following command:
      SLXJobServer.exe
    6. The Job Service will begin to output information related to any running jobs. At this point, log into the Web Client and execute the failing job.

    This can result in a large output of data. To make this easier to capture, output the console information to a file. To to this in step 6, use the following command instead:

    SLXJobServer.exe >> c:\SLXJobServer.txt

    The text of the command console will be output to this file. Using the >> argument will cause new additions to append to the existing SLXJobServer.txt file.

    Enabling Debug-level logging for the Job Server

    The Job Server can be set to capture debug-level logging. To enable debug logging:

    1. In Windows Services, stop the SalesLogix Job Service.
    2. In Task Manager, end the exeprocess if necessary.
    3. Navigate to the install location for the Job Server.
      Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\SalesLogix\
    4. Locate and open exe.config.
    5. In the <log4net> section of the config file, locate the following line:<threshold value=”WARN” />
    6. Edit the value here to DEBUG:<threshold value=”DEBUG” />
    7. Save the changes to the config file.
    8. Restart the Job Service.
    9. Attempt to execute the failing job. Debug-level information will be output to the Event Viewer.

    Note: This can cause the generation of a large volume of data; debug logging should not be enabled for long periods of time.
