ENABLE EVENT CREATION ON ONE ON ONE PAGE

If you cannot create an event in the one on one record page like in the below image, follow the instructions to re-use or create a new Global Action.

As part of a managed package, we cannot select your record types. To configure them, you have 3 options:

Create an Object-Specific Quick Action

  1. Go to the Setup page, click on the “Object Manager” tab and search for “One on One”.
  2. Select the “Buttons, Links, and Actions” option.
  3. Click on the “New Action” button using this information:
    • Action Type: Create a Record
    • Target Object: Event
    • Record Type: [The one you want to use] *OKR users should have access to the record type in their profiles
    • Standard Label Type or Label: [Select or create a label]
    • Name: the unique name for the global action
    • Description: write a brief description
    • Create Feed Item: If enabled, it creates a feed item when the action is performed. The feed item’s fields are defined by the target object’s compact layout.
    • Success Message: the success message you want to show when the event is created
  4. Click on the “Save” button.
  5. Select the fields to show on the component layout.
  6. Select the “Page Layouts” menu item and click on the “One on One Layout” link.
