CrmTraceReader updated!

Image
I just updated the Trace Reader to ease loading files and searching You can now drag and drop file(s) directly on the reader (in fact, the drag and drop works only on the list of trace items but that is cool anyway ) You can also clear all filters to get back to all trace items and when you reload file(s), the filters are kept if relevant.

The name speaks for itself: This plugin will allow you to manage the entities and attributes that should be activated for the audit feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Instead of opening each entity to activate or deactivate audit, then repeating for each attributes, you will be able to performs all these tasks in a single place.

When using this tool, please backup your organization before importing translations. I made some test but can’t assure there is no risk even if I’m only using supported methods Here's what the interface looks like As usual, to download it, go to CodePlex
