Change the default dashboard in Dynamics CRM 2013 with XrmToolBox SiteMap Editor plugin

I updated the SiteMapEditor to allows you to change the default dashboard that is displayed when navigating to a Dashboard SubArea in Dynamics CRM 2013.

SiteMapDashboardCapability

To do so, follow this procedure:

  1. Connect the XrmToolBox to your organization
  2. Open SiteMapEditor plugin
  3. Load the SiteMap
  4. Navigate to an area that is a dashboard page
  5. Click on the “Browse” (…) button in the details panel (Default Dashboard Id)
  6. Select the dashboard that should be displayed when navigating to this SubArea
  7. Save the SubArea item
  8. Update the SiteMap

Please note that this feature is only available in Dynamics CRM 2013 and Dynamics CRM Online Fall '13 Service Update. If you try to use this feature in CRM 2011, you will get the following error:

Tanguy, your tools are always great!

With 2011 Fall release and 2013, you can change the dashboard directly from CRM. Shown here in option 2: http://paul-way.com/crm-2013-start-users-dashboard/

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...)

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 > ...
