Activity Entity - make Subject field invisible

hi all

On the phone call activity entity there is a field called subject which is
locked and set to business required. CRM allows the updating of this field
from business required to not required but does not allow the user to remove
this field from the form.

any ideas how i can make it invisible as this is not used in out business.

thanks in advance

regards

Hey Umar
could you also advice me how to set focus on another field but subject in
the phone call entity for example - call date
by default when a new form loads the focus is set to the subject field


cheers

Yes you can. User following lines of code in your onLoad event of Phone
activity. Remember to enable the event and than save and publish the entity.

crmForm.all.subject_c.style.visibility = 'hidden';
crmForm.all.subject_d.style.visibility = 'hidden';

Following code in onLoad event of an entity will move focus to desired entity.
////////////////
crmForm.all.SOME_FIELD_ID.SetFocus();

hi Umar

i have a field called call date in the phone call entity and basically the
line of code i used is as below (in the form on load event)


crmForm.all.new_calldate.SetFocus();

However by default the focus is set on the subject field in the phone call
entity and when i write this script, publish the customization and view it
below is the error i get:
"cant move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled or of a
type that does not accept focus"
i can confirm the call date field is visible on the form and it is a date
time field.
also when i click ok to this error message the cursor is on the call date
field.

can you please advice

regards
Ridhima
