ALookup:sObjectType:iconIcon name for the displayALookup:Opportunity:icon = standard:opportunity (default)


For "restrict", you can also use variables

  • {!resourceId} = the user's recorce id
  • {!contactId} = the user's resource contact or user contact id (e.g. community users)
  • {!userId} = the user's resource user id

SQL Where restriction examples

  • MyContactId__c={!contactId}
    • select options restrictcted where the custom object field MyContact__c matches the users's resource contact
    • key: ALookup:MyCustomObject__c:restrict
    • value: MyContactId__c={!contactId}
  • OwnerId={!userId}
    • show only records owned by the user - example: only own cases
    • key: ALookup:Case:restrict
    • value: OwnerId={!userId}



Here is an example to show a custom field in the Case lookup


Here an example, where the lookup values of the custom object Applicants__c is restricted by the selected project:


Project Status info

You can show additional project information in the Project Status popup in the Timesheet, Timer, etc.


The Key has the format:

  • PjStatus:x:Project
  • PjStatus:x:Line

depending on where to get the information from. You could create a formula field if the information is not directly on the Project or Project Line.


The Value String contains the name of the field in either Project or Project Line, e.g. MyCustomField__c 



Timesheet Confirmation Checkbox

In the lightning Timesheet, you can show a checkbox with a confirmation text.  The user needs to click the checkbox to be able to submit the time.


To set up, go to > Setup > Custom Settings and click on Manage for Accorto Parameters.

Create one or more records with a name starting with "SubmitConfirm"

The text per entry is restricted to 255 characters. You can create multiple entries, e.g. "SubmitConfirm 2"
