How to migrate correctly the new field ACTIONS.KIND replace ACTIONS.MODE and ACTIONS.NATURE?

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:04:53 +0000

Since Efficy 2021 (12.0) the new field ACTIONS.KIND appears and is replacing the ACTIONS.MODE and ACTIONS.NATURE fields.

For some customers this can be an issue when they use the ACTIONS.MODE and ACTIONS.NATURE extensively. In this case it is possible to display the old fields in the edit forms of TASKS and AGENDAS but this is not enough. You also need to override the following macros :

MacroConsultCustom.txt :

DetailGridColumns..Acti {[MENU,DONE,USERS,DBEGIN{EDIT},SUBJECT{EDIT},CONTACT,DURATION,MODE,NATURE,TAGS,PRIORITY{ABSENTHF},MEMODD]}
DetailGridColumns.Cont.Acti {[MENU,DONE,USERS,DBEGIN{EDIT},SUBJECT{EDIT},PROJECT,DURATION,MODE,NATURE,TAGS,PRIORITY{ABSENTHF},MEMODD]}
MacroSearchCustom.txt :

SearchResultColumns.Acti {[MENU,SUBJECT{NAMESEARCH},D_BEGIN{NAMESEARCH},MODE,NATURE,TAGS]}
MacroListCustom.txt :

ListGrid.Task {[<%GetTodoGrid(columndefs="GridColumns", entity="Acti", savekeylist="true", columns="MENU,DONE,USERS,R_PRIORITY{CENTER},D_BEGIN{ABSENT},SUBJECT{EDIT},CONTACT,COMPANY,PROJECT,MODE,NATURE,TAGS,D_DUE,MEMODD")%>
<%Macro("ListMenu")%>]}

Question1: If we want to keep the new KIND field, is there an easy way to update it from the old MODE/NATURE fields?

Question2: If we use the old MODE/NATURE fields, is there any impact with the Efficy Exchange Synchronization or when generating the iCal files, because in the previous version those fields where synchronized with Exchange (they were added in the subject of the action/agenda), today we don't know if it is the KIND field that is synchronized or the old MODE/NATURE fields?
