Orchestrate

Advanced Setup

Customizing the Process Object Lookup Field (Tasks)

By default, Conga Orchestrate uses the Related To’(WhatId) field on a task by default. The field relates the task to a business process or other process object. Alternatively, Conga Orchestrate can use a custom lookup field instead. Use this function to relate Conga Orchestrate-generated tasks to another standard or custom object using the "Related To" field.

Salesforce allows custom lookup fields on activities so you can relate Conga Orchestrate-generated tasks to accounts or any other standard or custom object via the Related To field, Contacts (via the Name field), and the process object through a new lookup field you create using the setup instructions below).

Note: If you use multiple process objects, you must repeat steps 1–9 for every process object you use.

Configuring Custom Lookup Fields for Activities in Conga Orchestrate

To custom lookup fields on activities so you can relate Conga Orchestrate-generated tasks to accounts or any other standard or custom object via the Related To field:

  1. In Setup, use the Quick Find and enter Activity Custom Fields.

  2. Select the New button.

  3. Select Lookup Relationship.

  4. Select the Process Object (Business Process, Case, Lead, etc).

  5. Enter the Label and Name for the lookup field.

Configuring Field and Object API Names for Business Process Lookups

The Field Name and Object API Name for use in the next step. If using a Business Process object lookup, set this field's API Name differently from the Business Process object's API name. For example, use 'BP' for the API name (something other than 'business_process'). The label can be anything you'd like.
  1. Navigate to the Conga Orchestrate Setup tab.
  2. Click Custom Activity Lookup on the left.
  3. Click the Task Steps: Custom Process Object Lookup field and select the new lookup fields.
  4. OPTIONAL: Once a custom lookup field is specified, Conga Orchestrate populates the task's Related To field with the process object's related account. To specify a different field to pass through from the process object, specify that field's API name in the Task Steps: Related To Passthrough field.
  5. Click Save at the top of the Custom Activity Lookup page.
  6. Navigate to Salesforce Setup and remove the Open Activities and Activity History related lists from the Process Object's page layouts.
  7. Add the new Activities related list to the process object's page layouts.
