How can we activate the list of contact for a "fake" entity "Candidate" which are subsettings of contacts ?

Dear All,

One of our custom asked to activate the list of contacts in Efficy when clicking on the entity button in the Efficy Entity menu.

We did it by :

creating the SYS_QUERY : K_MASTER = 11, K_DETAIL = 0
creating the ShowContList function in Custom.js
Adding the command "Cont" to the entitiesCmd.js customized
Create the corresponding Macros in MacroList.txt : ListGrid.Cont

This is working perfectly, but now we have to create a fake entity "Candidate", we have created the button in the Efficy Entities menu and we have created the Macros and commands to show the list.

The "candidate" fake entity is pointing to the contact entity, which means that the SYS_QUERIES used by this entity should also be the K_MASTER = 11, K_DETAIL = 0 ... but here it is not correct because we would like to create a subset of the contact, so we think to duplicate this SYS_QUERIES and create a new one K_MASTER = 11, K_DETAIL = 99 for instance... but then we are block, because we don't know how to make the GetEntityListGrid Efficy function pointing to this fake entity in order to be able to use the standard List button and Grids functionnalities such as Custom grid views.

<%GetEntityListGrid(columndefs="GridColumns", entity="$ENTITY$", columns="$COLUMNS$", sum="$SUM$")%>

We know it is possible to do it, because the fake standard entity "Galery" in the tabs of a consult company can use the Custom Grid Views.

If I look at the fake entity configuration "Glry", it seems it is configured in the database, in SYS_ENTITIES ... is it the only place where we should had the configuration of our fake entity "Cand" to make the standard list work or is there any other way to do it ?
