Highlighting Duplicate Names in Generic Inquiry

​@esimonyan41 This feature is not currently available in Generic Inquiries (GI). As far as I know, there isn't an option to achieve this within a GI.

As an alternative, you could consider using a Power BI dashboard to present the data in the desired format.

Additionally, please upvote the existing submitted product idea to help increase its visibility and priority for future consideration.

​@ranjithduraisamy72 Thanks for info. I’ll try the alternative method.

Hi @esimonyan41,

I found a possible solution using only Generic Inquiries (without customization) to highlight duplicate descriptions based on FSAppointment.DocDesc.

The idea is to create a small pre-aggregated GI that counts how many times each description appears, then join this GI back to the main GI and use the count in the Style formula to highlight duplicate descriptions. 

The attached XML file (FS-Appointment-Pre.xml) contains the pre-aggregated GI (Appointments - Description Duplicate Count) used in this example.
Step 1 – Create a pre-aggregated GI (Appointments - Description Duplicate Count)

Data Sources tab: PX.Objects.FS.FSAppointment

Conditions tab: Add the following condition to exclude empty or null descriptions from the duplicate count: FSAppointment.DocDesc → Is Not Empty

Grouping tab:  Group by: FSAppointment.DocDesc

Results Grid tab: 

Add: 

FSAppointment.DocDesc; 

FSAppointment.NoteID → Aggregate Function = COUNT

Result of the pre-aggregated GI:

Step 2 – Add the pre-aggregated GI to the main GI

Data Sources tab: Add the pre-aggregated GI as an additional data source

Relations tab:  Create a LEFT JOIN using: FSAppointment.DocDesc = FSAppointmentPre.FSAppointment_docDesc

I used a LEFT JOIN so that all appointment records remain in the main GI

Step 3 – Add the Style formula

Results Grid tab → Row Style, use:

=IIf([FSAppointmentPre.FSAppointment_Countc101ff51972149dfb7937859e536e678] > 1, 'yellow20', 'default') 

The COUNT field can be selected from the Fields & Parameters section in the Style editor.

Any description with a count greater than 1 will be highlighted.

Result:
