Customer MDAV dynamic navigation

• The standard account MDAV is used for both accounts and individual customers . Prior to 1702 the dynamic navigation from the reports to the details view for individual customer was not correct


• In 1702 we have enhanced the dynamic navigation from customer MDAV to the correct details view for an account/individual customer .


• The system will dynamically determine if selected entity is a corporate account/individual customer and navigate the corresponding TI

Business User and License Management



Use Case :- As a system administrator , I would like to know how many business users in the system are counted/active users .

Additionally I would also like to map the business users to a valid user subscription type so that I can track which users are intended to consume which user subscription license.

 



Solution :-

• We have now introduced a new action called ‘User Subscriptions’ in the business user details view .


• In the new ‘User Subscriptions’ view a system administration can assign user type and user subscription to a business user .

User Type determines the values of user subscriptions which can be assigned to a business user

• We have also introduced a new attribute called ‘Counted user’ on the business user overview facet.


• A counted user is defined as a business user which is

- Valid as on date (considering valid from/ valid to date)

- User Locked indicator

In summary a business user which is valid (considering validity dates) and is unlocked ( overall lock indicator and not password locked) is considered as a counted user.

• Counted user is a derived attribute and cannot be edited on the UI.

Note : the counted user determination is done :-

-When a business user is edited

-Daily as a background job ( we also show the date/time alongside this attribute to clearly indicate when was the auto determination done )

• We have enhanced the business user find form with these three new attribute


• A system administrator can search for all counted users who are assigned to a user type and user subscription type.

 

Field visibility in Editable and read only modes for accounts/contacts

• We have a few attributes on the account / contact / individual customer / partner / partner contact / employees details view which are only visible in edit mode.


• These attributes are not visible as separate attributes on details views in read only mode.


• With 1702 , Key user tool has been enhanced to also provide an option to change the visibility property of these select few attributes .


• Key user can change the property from editable mode to ‘visible in Read and Edit Mode’ . Once the property is changed these edit only fields will also be available in the read only mode.

 

Extension fields in form templates for Individual Customer

 

• Prior to 1702 release it was not possible to add extension fields to individual customer header to form template/summary .


• With 1702 it is now possible to add individual customer header extension fields to form templates.

A Key user can now select the form template for individual customer summary during extension field creation and use it in form template

 

Business Partner Number range Edit Enabled: Business Configuration

• In 1702 we have enabled another internal number range for edit.


• The marked number range was opened in BC for edit (begin/end number) to help integration customers keep their numbers in sync between their legacy system and C4C

Other Enhancements

If a new Contact is created in offline with Contact Person Workplace Address data, the workplace address snapshot is also derived in consuming application as well
