BAM – Related Activities

by Dan Rosanova 21. December 2009 04:32

Over the last two years I have really pushed the envelope with BAM. I use it in every solution I implement, even if just for providing support information. One of the best features I've found with BAM is related activities. Unfortunately this feature is not very well documented and it took me several weeks of playing with it to understand how to make it work correctly.

Ultimately what must be done is that you create two Activities then create one View that spans the data in the activities (it's OK to grab everything into this view if you want to) then you deploy the definition. Next you create two Tracking Profiles in the Tracking Profile Editor (one for each Activity). The profiles use the Related Activity menu option to relate to each other. The really cool thing is that you can easily make bidirectional relationships that allow tracking from / to parent child structures (something BAM "can't do" out of the box). These let you click back and forth between the activities to see the details.

I'll try to post up some images and more info about this later because it is a little hard to explain, but it does work and it works great.
