Customize the Dimension Context Menu

GoMeddo calendars come with a customizable context menu, that users can access by clicking on the triple dots while hovering over a dimension row header:

This article explains what the default items are and how they can be customized.

Default Menu Items

By default, the context menu consists of the following items:

Name	Type	Description	Additional conditions

Name	Type	Description	Additional conditions
ViewInSalesforce	Url	Opens the dimension record in the standard Salesforce UI	None
ViewInBooker25	Url	Opens the dimension record in the GoMeddo Resources & Types tab	Dimension B25__Resource__c and booker25AdminsOnly¹
ExpandReservationGroups	Action	Expands any reservation groups in the selected dimension record.	Only visible if there are collapsed groups in the dimension record row²
CollapseReservationGroups	Action	Collapses any reservation groups in the selected dimension record.	Only visible if there are expanded groups in the dimension record row²
PinRowToTop	Action	Pin the dimension record row to the top of the calendar.	Only visible if the dimension record row is not pinned
UnpinRowFromTop	Action	Unpin the dimension record row from the top of the calendar.	Only visible if the dimension record row is pinned

Customizing the Menu

To customize the menu, two steps need to be taken:

Create your Apex class
Configure GoMeddo to use your class

Create your Apex class

First, create your Apex class. This class must be global and implement the Salesforce Callable Interface. Also see the Example Class below.

When a user opens the context menu on the calendar, your implementation of the call method will be called with the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Value

Parameter	Type	Value
action	String	This value will always be “contextMenu”, unless you are reusing this class for other implementations (not recommended)
args	Map<String, Object>	This map will contain one entry “defaultContextMenu”, and its value will be a list of menu items `List<Map<String, Object>>`(explained below)

When called, your implementation of the call method is expected to return a list of menu items, which is a List<Map<String, Object>>.

Menu Items

A single menu item is a Map<String, Object> with the following keys:

Key	Value	Description

Key	Value	Description
uniqueId	String	Unique id. Not required but allows you to identify the default items.
label	String	The label shown in the context menu.
urlTemplate	String	The url that should be opened if the user clicks this item. This template can include a merge field {dimensionRecordId}. This will be replaced with the id of the dimension record the user selected.
hideIfNotReservable	Boolean	If true the entry will not be shown on non reservable dimension objects.
booker25AdminsOnly	Boolean	If true the entry will only be visible if the user has the B25_Admin permission set.
availableForDimensions	List<String>	The names of the dimensions where this entry should be shown. If left empty it will be shown on all dimensions.
isBooker25CustomAction	Boolean	Some GoMeddo actions are not just opening urls for these this property will be set to true and GoMeddoCustomAction will be set to specify the custom action. You can not add additional custom actions but any context entries with this property set to true and an existing custom action selected will work.
booker25CustomAction	String	The custom action this item should run. Currently four different actions are available: expandReservationGroups will expand any groups of reservations that are collapsed and will only be visible if there are any collapsed groups. collapseReservationGroups will collapse any expanded reservation groups and will only be visible if there are any expanded groups. pinRowToTop will pin the row at the top of the calendar and will only be visible if the row is not pinned. unpinRowFromTop will unpin the row from the top of the calendar and will only be visible if the row is pinned.

Configure GoMeddo to use your class

After you’ve created your class, configure GoMeddo to use it.

Go to Setup > Custom Settings
Find the entry named ‘System Settings’ contained in the B25 package.
Click Manage to the left of the ‘System Settings’ entry.
Create a new Setting named ‘Calendar Context Menu Class’.
Set the String Value to the name of the class you created.
Save the setting.

Example Class

This example updates the ‘View Calendar’ link to go to a specific calendar implementation with uniqueName customSingleCalendar.

It also removes the ‘View in Salesforce’ and ‘View in GoMeddo’ links.

global with sharing class CustomContextMenu implements System.Callable {

    global Object call(String action, Map<String, Object> parameters) {
    
        if (action != 'contextMenu') {
            return null;
        }
        
        List<Map<String, Object>> defaultMenu = (List<Map<String, Object>>) parameters.get('defaultContextMenu');
        
        // Update the single resource calendar link
        for (Map<String, Object> menuItem : defaultMenu) {
            if (menuItem.get('uniqueId') == 'SingleCalendarLink') {
                String calendarName = 'customSingleCalendar'; // this must be the uniqueName of an existing calendar record
                String urlTemplate = Page.B25__SingleResourceCalendarWrapper.getUrl() + '?recordId={dimensionRecordId}&calendar=' + calendarName;
                menuItem.put('urlTemplate', urlTemplate);
            }
        }
        
        // remove the 'View in Salesforce' and 'View in GoMeddo' links
        Integer i = 0;
        while (i < defaultMenu.size()) {
            String uniqueId = (String) defaultMenu[i].get('uniqueId');
            if (uniqueId == 'ViewInSalesforce' || uniqueId == 'ViewInBooker25') {
                defaultMenu.remove(i);
            } else {
                i += 1;
            }
        }
        
        return defaultMenu;
    }
}
