Adding a new Field with Pick List/Selector

J

I want to add a new field that will allow me to pick a list of employees or users. Or that will allow me to link to an attribute that I already have with employee names. 

I have added the field already thru customization, but am stuck trying to figure out the pick list. 

Am I doing it correctly? 

My main goal is to put a pick list of employee on my project quote screen, so that I can then view it on the inquiry screen as a column and create reports. 

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks

Hi ​@jpaulin ,

Here’s one approach you can take to add an Employee lookup on your screen:

 


[PXDBInt()]
[PXDimensionSelector("BIZACCT", 
    typeof(EPEmployee.bAccountID), 
    typeof(EPEmployee.acctCD), 
    DescriptionField = typeof(EPEmployee.acctName))]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Employee")]
public virtual int? EmployeeID { get; set; }
public abstract class employeeID : PX.Data.BQL.BqlInt.Field<employeeID> { }

With this, you’ll be able to select and store an Employee, display it in inquiries, and include it in any reports you build. Good luck!

HI ​@jpaulin 

 

Another way you can add a selector is using the [PX.TM.Owner]

You can also use PXEPEmployeeSelectorAttribute to define a Selector for Employees.

#region Employee
public abstract class employee : BqlInt.Field<employee> { }
[PXDBInt]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Employee")]
[PXEPEmployeeSelector]
public virtual int? Employee { get; set; }
#endregion


Good Luck.
