RE: Lookup for Product Family not all the Products

Hi, this is possible through the following:

Approach 1:

1. Create a new view in CRM which shows only Product Families.

2. On your form, open up the lookup field properties by double-clicking on the form, then scroll down in the Display Tab.

Set the Default View to the newly created system view, and turn off other views.

Approach 2:

If this does not seem to satisfy the criteria, then you may have to implement a lookup filter on form load using addFilter.

What it does is puts a filter on the lookup field to show only select set of records.

See the link here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334266.aspx#BKMK_lookupControlMethods

But this approach requires some knowledge of form scripting using JavaScript.

Cheers!

Hi,

You will need to create a new view to look at Product Families only.
