Account Hierarchy

[Colin D]

Does anyone know if i can place an overview of the hierachy of an account on the account homepage, rather than by clicking the view hierarchy link. i would like all child accounts to be viewed as soon as someone goes into an account

In general, you can use s-controls to pull data from one table onto the page layout for another, so I suspect that is the route you'll want to follow.

Hell, sorry, i am not that much up to speed with s-controls. i tried doing it as a link (https://emea.salesforce.com/acc/account_hierarchy.jsp?id={!Account.Id}) but this pulled up the whole page. does anyone know of another way to only pull up the child accounts?

Have you made any headway on this since the last post?

I'd tackle this with VisualForce, rather than an S-control.

I have found this on the AppExchange http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/detail_overview.jsp?id=a0330000006m4OYAAY which will do the trick.

Unfortunately it embeds itself on the page layout as with a fixed height. Does anyone know how to tweak this in VisualForce so that you can add an iframe (scrollers)?

Here's how to display scrollbars ...

Go to Setup and select the page layout and click Edit.

Find the section with the s-control or VF page and double-click on it.

A popup with configuration options will display with one of the options (off by default) to display scrollbars.  Select it and save your changes.
