Separate Contacts and Company Tables

I am using the Quick Integration method to link the SeedCodeCalendar (5.4.4) to my own solution. Contacts and Companies are in two different tables. Can the calendar be linked to both tables so that a company or a contact can have an event on the calendar?

Will I need to link two Events tables (one associated with Contacts and one with Company)? Will this also require an additional fields on the Detail layout in the calendar to show either the Contact or Company associated with the event?

Thanks.

I don't think you want to do two events tables. Rather, I'd add a CompanyID to the event record along side the Contact ID already there. You can also create a version of the script "Jump to Related Contact's Layout ( Contact ID )" that goes to your company layout instead of the contact.

I think you'll have BOTH company and contact fields on the event detail layout, so yes, you'll need to add some related fields there.

Hope that helps,

John
