  • Use a related list to establish the connection between the Customer Account table that holds the Salesforce Account Id and the Salesforce Opportunity remote table that holds the same Salesforce Account Id.

    In this example, create a relationship called Opportunities. Choose the Account table in the Applies to table field and the remote opportunity table in the Queries from table field. For more information, see Create defined related lists.

    Related list to create Opportunities relationship between the Account table and the Salesforce Opportunity table.

    Add the following code in the Query with field:

    (function refineQuery(current, parent) {
    
      var sf_account_id = new String(parent.u_salesforce_account_id);
    
      if (sf_account_id.length == 0)
        sf_account_id = "undefined";
    
      current.addQuery("u_sf_account_id", sf_account_id);
    
    })(current, parent);
    

    This code checks for the presence of the Salesforce Account Id in the Account table and, if it is missing in the record, sets it to undefined. The code also includes a query for the Opportunity table column that holds the Salesforce Account Id for the value of this Id from the Account table. This query is invoked when the user opens the list of opportunities associated with the customer account. To see how it is used in the remote table script, see Selecting a spoke action and preparing the inputs.
