Activities Tab in Salesforce

August 3, 2008 by David Schach 4 Comments

To display a tab of Activities, just like you can with Accounts, Opportunities, etc., use the following URLs in the Web Tab configuration screen:

/home/actlist.jsp?isdtp=mn

  • Displays a full-page list of Activities (Tasks and Events)
  • The list is non-enhanced, even when viewed in an “enhanced lists” org.

/home/actlist.jsp

  • Displays Activities with the Sidebar and Tabs

these are especially useful if you have Enhanced Lists enabled – it looks amazing. Create additional views for Tasks or Events, and then save the URL for each as its own Web Tab as desired.
(For example, in my org, My Open Tasks is https://na1.salesforce.com/007?fcf=00B30000005UoEi – I made a Web Tab and in the URL put “/007?fcf=00B30000005UoEi.” Worked perfectly.

Enjoy!

Addendum: To prevent multiple rows of tabs at the top of the page, you can launch the tab from a link. The best way to do this is to put a custom link in your sidebar and to view the tab that way.

Addendum 2: Kudos to Andres G for noting that the ?idtsp=mn version looks like the Salesforce Console–it absolutely does! There was a discussion on the developer boards.

Also, Scott Hemmeter blogged about this a while back and included some javascript to get around the double-tabs problem.

My next Visualforce coding project will be to create this using VF, likely based on Ron Hess’ code example.

    I really like this idea and tried it already. The second option is by far my favorite, since I am big fan of Enhanced Lists. Only one glitch that I have encountered, when the webtab opens up it displays the top line with all the tabs twice. Is there a way to have a “clean” webtab with the tabs only listed once.

    Thanks for the great post!

    Great question, Bas! I used the “Full page width” option when creating the tab, and it worked fine. Counterintuitive, I know.

    This is cool, thanks!! Is there any place this kind of stuff is documented? How do you “stumble across” something like this?

    ?idtsp=vw also works to get that checkbox and buttons.
