Selectively Hide Contact from Contact View

[Robert685]

Is there a way to selectively hide a contact from view when viewing an account?

For example.
IBM is my account.

I have 172 Contacts for this account.

About 5 of these contacts I need on a regular basis.
Thus, 167 of these contacts are “stale” as it pertains to my daily activities.

I do not want to delete or remove the “stale” contacts, as that information does have value to me (just not daily value).

Is there a way I can turn off / “hide from view” those contacts so that I don't have to scroll through pages of contacts to find the contacts I want to work with.


Thanks!

Hi, Robert.

You can create an extended layoutdefs for Accounts
custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php

At this file (perhaps you need to create it) you type this piece of code:

 $layout_defs['Accounts']['subpanel_setup']['contacts']['subpanel_name'] = 'NewSubpanelName' 
  

Replace the 'NewSubpanelName' to a better name for your needs.

Save the file modules/Contacts/metadata/subpanels/ForAccounts.php with the name choosen for 'NewSubpanelName' and modify the line:

     'where' => '', 
  

To

     'where' => 'where clause for your needs', 
  

This will select only the contacts which satisfy the query.

Cheers
