For one of our customer, we have installed Sage CRM 2019 R1 and integrate it with Self Service portal. As per the Customer’s requirement, we modified standard new case screen and added few additional fields as per mention in below screenshot.

As you all know, Close By field is a date field in Sage CRM. But, in Self Service Portal, it is showing as text field and you need to convert the same into date field manually in order to view calendar control. Follow below steps to do the same.

  • Copy “jquery-ui.min.js” file from “<CRM Directory>\<CRMName>\WWWRoot\js\lib\” folder to “<CRMSelfservice Directory>\script\client\” folder.
  • Copy “jquery-ui.css” from “<CRM Directory>\<CRMName>\WWWRoot\Themes\jquery\” folder to “<CRMSelfservice Directory>\css\” folder.
  • Copy “calCalendar.gif” image from “<CRM Directory>\<CRMName>\WWWRoot\Themes\Img\Ergonomic\Buttons\” folder to “<CRMSelfservice Directory>\gif\” folder.
  • Open “mc_client.js” page from “<CRMSelfservice Directory>\script\client\” folder. Add below code in “MC_setpage()” function.
