Getting the list of contractor's contacts using a script

This article contains a script for displaying the list of contacts of a selected contractor in a block.

Script without PublicAPI

The script includes the following context variables:

context.Customer - Contractor-type variable, contains the selected contractor (e.g. in a user task before the script).

context.Contacts - Block-type variable (contains the ContactName property). When creating a new block element, its class name P_ContractorContactsDisplay_Contacts is used.

For the script to work correctly, add the following assembly:

EleWise.ELMA.CRM

Namespaces:

using EleWise.ELMA.CRM.Models;
using EleWise.ELMA.Model.Common;
using EleWise.ELMA.Model.Entities.ProcessContext;
using EleWise.ELMA.Model.Managers;

Script:

var contractors = EntityManager<Contractor>.Instance.Find(FetchOptions.All); //get the list of all contractors
  contractors.ForEach(k => {
    if (k == context.Customer) //if the contractor matches the searched one
      {
        k.Contacts.ForEach(cont => { //then get the list of contacts of this contractor
         var item_b = new P_ContractorContactsDisplay_Contacts(); //for each contact in the list, create a block element
         item_b.ContactName = cont;   //and write the contact to the created element
         context.Contacts.Add(item_b); //add the created element to the block
         });        
      }
     });

Creating a similar script using PublicAPI

Documentation on PublicAPI is available here

Context variables:

context.Customer - Contractor-type variable
context.Contacts - Block-type variable (contains the ContactName property - Contact-type variable)
When creating a new block element, its class name P_GetContactList_Contacts is used.

Namespace:

using EleWise.ELMA.API;
using Elewise.ELMA.Extensions;

Script:

var contractor = PublicAPI.CRM.Contractor.Find(FetchOptions.All);
contractor.ForEach(k => {
        if (k == context.Customer){
       k.Contacts.ForEach(cont => { //then get the list of contacts of this contractor
       var item_b = new P_GetContactList_Contacts(); //for each contact in the list, create a block element
    item_b.ContactName = cont;   //and write the contact to the created element
    context.Contacts.Add(item_b); //add the created element to the block
                        });   
            }
        });
