Forum Post: RE: Account form subgrid and related contact activity records

Hi William,

Thanks for the very insightful post.  I want to reiterate the disclaimer of modifying the customizations.xml file as mentioned in the blog article.  

With that disclaimer, I would recommend using a tool like the Stunnware Tools to help you build FetchXML.  You can find that tool here:

You're going to need to add the link entity for Contact to Account.  Essentially you want to retrieve Activities for an Account and the related Contacts.  It would look something like:

<entity name="activitypointer">

<link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="regardingobjectid">

<link-entity name="contact" from="parentcustomerid" to="accountid" />

</link-entity>

</entity>

However, I would use the tool which will allow you to return real results while your building your FetchXML.

Hope this helps!
