How to use Connections in UUI?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 21

When trying to create a new connection in UUI for contact there are two buttons, "+ new connection" and "connect":

When doing the same in classic UI there is only one button "connect":

Also when creating a new connection record in UUI both lookups are prefilled, which makes no sense to me:

Is there a reason for why the behaviour changed from classic UI to UUI?

    Hi partner,

    It’s so strange, there is no ”+ new connection" button in the view by default.

    Have you customized the connection sub-grid view?

    Maybe you can try to use Ribbon Workbench to hide the button if necessary.

    This is the download page for Ribbon Workbench:

    This is the basic tutorial of Ribbon Workbench:

    But additionally I've this "+ new connection" button which opens a new record and prefills both lookups with the same contact value.

    Hi partner,

    What version of the dyanmics are you using?
