New tool : Home page updater

This tool is a pretty small one and was created as I was looking how it was possible to bulk update user options.

So, the tool just allows you to select users and define which pane and tab will be used as the user home page.

Hi,

I created an image of my production enviorment and attempted to modify the registry and server configuration to create a dev enviroment for dynamics. In running your tool, it seems to be picking up my production enviroment even though I specify the dev parameters.

Can you tell me, how does your program populate the and xml data in mscrmtools.config? I must have missed a reference somewhere in my conversion and would very much like to find where that value is coming from!!

Hi,
When making your production environment image, you have to update the MSCRM_CONFIG database (deploymentproperties table) which contains web services url. The discoveryservice used by my tools read these values.

So, just look at the datatable for your production environment and update them with your new environment values

Thank you!!! I couldn't seem to find these entries in the database. I changed registry keys, SQL settings, Dynamics settings, but for the life of me I couldn't find these last two. Cheers!

New XrmToolBox plugin : Import/Export NN relationships

Image
Two plugins in one day! wow! This one was, in fact, developed a couple of months ago. One of my colleague was using a solution from my fellow MVP Andrii Butenko which allows to import/export NN relationships in a silverlight web resource. This was nice but my colleague was using other attributes than primary key to do the mapping and Andrii’s solution does not support this. So he asked me to develop a XrmToolBox’s plugin that could do this. And, here it is! You can select entities and relationships and moreover, choose mapping attributes on both enitities. I only let text and number attributes selectable as other does not really make sense for mapping purposes. Then you can import or export NN relationships! Here is a preview As usual, this plugin, among other, is available with XrmToolBox on CodePlex

Hi, The previous post was not the last one... :) You can find in this post the first tool that will make your life easier: Just remember when you customer asked you to remove all these unused attributes form the attribute list of the advanced find form... You navigated through all attrbutes form to modify the Searchable property of each attributes for hours... (maybe am I exaggerating a bit...) The program I give you allows you to update all attributes in a single winform application! Yes it can be! Do not hesitate to give me your comments about this program if you think improvements can be done... Download:

Full featured CRM grid in HTML/JS

Image
In last December, I was asked to write a web resource to display a grid with CRM records. I was quite frustrated because I didn’t succeed to manage some grid features easily like fixed header with horizontal scrolling among others. I delivered a fixed table which was not so bad but absolutely not something that look like the application grid views. So I decided to work harder to find a way to do this CRM style grid view. After some works (almost two full days), I have succeeded to create a full featured CRM grid view by using only JavaScript. Here is a screenshot: And this is how I can create a grid view from only a div in a HTML page < html > < head > < title > Page de test </ title > < script src ="json2.js"></ script > < script src ="jquery.js"></ script > < script src ="XrmServiceToolKit.js"></ script > < script src ="sdk.metadata.js"></ script > ...
