Read/Unread Opportunity

Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to develop a VF page that lists all the unread opportunities. Once the Opportunity is read, remove it from the list. Is there any way to do with that?

 

Thanks.

Like I said you will have a VF page that will be added as inline VF to standard layout. 

 

<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity" extenstions="OppEXT" action="{!updateOpp}">

 

 

So whenever this VF page is opened "updateOpp" will be automatically called and you can do the update from the same.

Well what you can do is

  • create a new field say "isRead__c" in opportunity.
  • Create a visualforce page, when this page is opened it will just update this field to true
  • include this page in the standard page layout of opportunity
  • Create a list views "Read", add a filter isRead__c == true
  • Another list view "New" , add a filter isRead__c == false

Thanks for the solution. But how do I update a field while an opportunity is open?
