Custom fields per contact/lead | Individual key value maps for contacts

[marty.m]

Hey,

I was wandering around the internet searching for a specific info about suiteCRM.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find it, so I am trying to pick you guys mind (-:

Is it possible to have a key value map individual for each contact/lead?

I want to manage a lot of contacts in suite crm that are somewhat unrealated.

Example:

Group A (electricians) get survey regarding their needs. The info gathered in the survey should be stored in an individual value map unique to that group of electricians.

Group B ( social workers) get a survey regarding their needs too.

Now I dont want to create all this as custom fields that are displayed on every contact.

Is this possible in SuiteCRM?

Hi, @marty.m!
Welcome to community!

Yes, it’s possible.
You can make different view form for each of categories.

1. It’s code for load detailview form

Custom View depending field value

@peted I recommend don’t change function ‘preDisplay’. Make function ‘getMetaDataFile’ in file …/view.detail.php /* add */ public function getMetaDataFile() { if ($this->bean->order_type == "Repair" || $this->bean->order_type == "Other" || $this->bean->order_type == "Stock") { $oldType = $this->type; $this->type = $oldType . 'ros'; } $metadataFile = parent::getMetaDataFile(); if ($this->bean->order_type == "Repair" || $this->bea…

You can make form for editview too.

2 . It’s code for select correct form from cache.

Custom View depending field value

@peted Without problems. Add new form to the function ‘display’ to file …/view.detail.php: public function display(){ if ($this->bean->order_type == "Repair" || $this->bean->order_type == "Other" || $this->bean->order_type == "Stock") { $this->dv->formName='DetailView_ros'; } parent::display(); }

Hey! Thanks for the warm welcome!

I don’t quite get where there is a value map involved in your solution.

Let me try to explain more:

I don’t want to change the view on the data.
I want to create individual value maps for individual contacts or groups.

It’s another way. You can make custom module - “individual value maps” and make relationship it to Contacts module. You should use Studio in admin panel for it.
