In this blog, we will discuss how to hide the follow up check boxes on new Appointment or new Task screens. As you know, while creating New Appointment, 2 checkboxes “Create Follow-up Task” and “Create Follow-up Appointment” comes by default and we can select any one of them at a time. If we click any of the checkbox and saves the appointment then new follow-up screen opens up by default to capture the follow-up details.

For e.g. if we select the “Create Follow-up Appointment” checkbox then the new Appointment screen will open. Or if we select the “Create Follow-up Task” checkbox then new Task screen will open. Then, we can enter the follow-up details and save the appointment.
Suppose, while creating new appointment you don’t want to show the “Create Follow-up Task” checkbox. Then to hide the checkbox, add below code into the custom content of the new appointment screen.
<script>
crm.ready(function()
{
var arrayDoFollowUpTask = document.getElementsByName(“DoFollowUpTask”);
arrayDoFollowUpTask[0].style.visibility = hidden;
var arrayDiv = document.getElementsByTagName(“div”);
for(i=0;i<arrayDiv.length;i++)
{
if(arrayDiv[i].onclick)
{
sOnclick = new String(arrayDiv[i].onclick);
if(sOnclick.search(/DoFollowUpTask/i)>-1)
{
arrayDiv[i].style.visibility = hidden;
}
}
}
});
</script>
After following above steps, you can see that “Create Follow-up Task” checkbox is removed from the screen.
