Hi,

How can I make the calendar display the contacts name rather than the subject of the new activity. I'm trying to use the file from the point of view of a patient appointment booking system.

Thanks to the creator/s for the great work. Fantastic.

Hello Alexransome,

To make the calender display the contact name rather than the subject of the activity, you need to make some changes to the field. Here are some simple instructions on how to do that.


When you have FMSP running, 

Go to File > Manage > Database... 

Bring up the table "TDL_To_Dos"

Look for the field "Item". Select "Item" and choose the "Options" button in the bottom right hand corner.

In options, check the box "Look-up Value"

Your Starting with table should be: "T19_TODOLIST". And your Lookup from related table should be: "T19b_todolist_CONTACT||id_contact|"

Copy value from field: "::Name_Full" , press OK.

This will set the subject of the new activity as your patients name and you can enter your more detailed appointment information into "Notes".
