Dynamics CRM Tools

Hi all, Just a big thank you to be so many to visit my blog! You were a little more that 20.000 in a little less that 2 years… I hope I will be able to make still more people visiting this blog, even if I don’t have lot of time these days to write here. See you on this blog, Dynamics CRM forums or anywhere else !

Just a small update regarding the attribute AvailableOffline that used incorrect value and makes the forms crash. The tool has been updated and can be downloaded in the same place as before.

Today, a small update on this tool. Scott Sewell told me that some characters were not escaped correctly when exporting scripts from the CRM server. It is true but as you might know I’m French so I work mainly with French environments and this problem was not showing on French CRM servers… Anyway, the bug is corrected and you can download the latest version, as usual, on the right pane of this blog.

Here is the result of the survey: I’m not so surprised by the result… The top 3 represents the tool that help me the most during my customizations.

Here is an update again… Well, that should be the last one as the tool should manage every aspect of a view layout from now. So, the problem was the following: When views were replicated, some attributes that are not used in the layout were remaining in the fetchXml part of the view (the part that defines which records will be displayed). This avoids to delete these attributes from the entity as they were still used in a published view, even if you were not able to remove this reference (Unless you export the customization, remove the attribute from the fetchXml and import back the updated customization). This new version takes care of the layoutXml (which columns are displayed) AND the fetchXml (which attributes are retrieved under which conditions). I hope nobody was affected by this problem. As usual, you can download the latest version on the right pane of this blog.

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. Download:

Hi all, After a week of holidays in a charming French island in the Atlantic ocean, I’m back with full battery! Just before my holidays, I updated the view layout replicator since I encountered some difficulties replicating views with related entity attributes. In fact, the tool wasn’t able to manage these attributes correctly. So here is the update: You can now replicate views with related entity attributes For associated view (that doesn’t support these related entity attributes) that is chosen as target view, the entity related attributes are not replicated and a message warns you about this particular treatment. In previous version, the view was not replicated at all. As usual, you can download the latest version on the right panel of this blog.
