CRM Tips and Tricks from Recent Denver CRMUG
Posted by Kristie Reid on May 26, 2010 |Our project management and quality assurance teams meet on a weekly basis to showcase what we have built for customers and share any insights that we have learned. I was recently given the opportunity to share some of these "tips and tricks" with the Denver CRMUG. I've received a lot of good feedback from these items at the meeting so I thought I would share them with a broader audience. Hopefully you all will find them useful as well.
Issue #1:
You receive errors on security permissions which don’t seem logical
Tips/Tricks:
- ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS create new security roles by copying an out of the box role and then remove permissions from there.
- Check the Privileges by Message documentation on MSDN to make sure everything is covered (Mike previously blogged about this issue back in CRM 3.0, but I included the CRM 4.0 link and I figured a gentle reminder wouldn't hurt)
Issue #2:
Want to make changes to the site map
Tips/Tricks:
- Review theSite Map explanation from Dynamics CRM Resource Center
- Review the Entity Custoimzation: Relationships, Custom Entities and Site Map chapter from our book Working with Micrsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (shameless plug)
- Check out Patrick Verbeeten's CRM XML Editor for easy editing of the SiteMap file.
Issue #3:
You need to include date fields on mail merges but don’t want to include time stamps
Resolution:
1. Add date field added to the xml document (for example, «Created_On»)
2. Highlight the field, right click and select Toggle Field Codes:
Formatting will display in the mail merge document:
4. For a list of all formatting options: http://support.softartisans.com/docs/OfficeWriter-Java/docs/WordWriter/WebHelp/topic_files/format.htm
