Bottom panel customisation

[Tziere]

Hi!

I cannot figure out how to create custom bottom panels. In the out-of-the-box installation there exists a bottom panel within "Accounts" that shows affiliated contacts.

Lets say I want to create this also the other way around: have a bottom panel in the "Contacts" layout, that shows the Accounts. Is this possible and how would I do this?

Hello,
the bottom panels are creating automatically by adding a new relationship between entities. For the bottom panel available only the link-multiple fields.
https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...#relationships
https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...#link-multiple

By default in the system exists the relationship between Account and Contact entities of the Many-to-Many type. Also, by default, the Accounts panel is disabled for the Contact Layout. To enable it you need to do this:
1. Create or open the file /custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Contact.json
2. Add the code into the link scope:

{
....
    "links": {
        "accounts": {
            "layoutRelationshipsDisabled": false
        },
        .....
    }
}

3. Administration -> Clear Cache
4. Refresh a web page
5. Open Administration -> Layout Manager -> Contacts -> Bottom Panels -> drag and drom the Accounts pannel

EDIT: worked like a charm, thanks!
