Back in GoldMine 2015 you could display a custom value in the graphical calendar which would display the notes of the scheduled activity.
[Tools/Options/Calendar/More Options] - Show results of a xBase expression:
I used to use a custom expression that displayed the length of the note. Such as this...
trim(Contact1->Company) + " - "+trim(Cal->Company) + ": "+trim(CAL->REF) + " + "+ltrim(str(len(alltrim(cal->notes))))+" bytes of notes"
In GoldMine 2015 that would display the length of the notes. I also have a client who displayed the notes themselves with this expression:
iif(empty(CONTACT1->COMPANY)," ",left(Contact1->Company,15)) + " ("+ iif(empty(CONTACT1->KEY5)," ",trim(contact1->KEY5))+") "+":"+iif(empty(CAL->REF)," ",trim(CAL->REF))+" (" + iif(empty(CAL->NOTES)," ",trim(CAL->NOTES)) + ")"
But at some point between versions 2015 and 2017 the notes stopped being available. The length always reports as zero and the notes always show up empty on the graphic calendar. Even just displaying:
CAL->NOTES
...shows blank. Now we've got a client who we upgraded and they're upset that they've lost something they've been using for many years, and they want it back. Which obviously puts us in an uncomfortable position.
Can anyone from Ivanti shed light on this? Is it something that has a hope of being fixed? Albert is opening a ticket on it now, and asked if I'd post here to the community.
Thanks,
