We have an on premise installation of CRM and need to integrate it into our current system. We have a custom built app that allows users to select different criteria to use in searching for contacts. I need this ability in CRM.
I need to add a dropdown list to show options that a user can use to select what to search on when searching for a contact.
We have created a plugin that is called when retrieving multiple contacts. The customer can search on things like username, first name, Last name, Phone, email, Order id, etc.. We have customized the system so that when the customer is searching for a contact we search our company's system for this contact and then adds it into our crm system. I need the ability in the plugin to know what the user is searching for so that I can do the corresponding search on our company's system. There are many options that the user can search on that are not contained in the contact entity.
Is there a way to add this dropdown list and have the search send this information into the retrieve multiple plugin?
