Hi
I am working on CRM 3.0 I want to display one entity ( custom entity like country) values into a dropdownlist list of country field in account entity form. Please let me know the procedure if it is possible.
Thanks
Shaik Nazeer Basha
Hi Shaik,
If you want to create a static list of countries then simply add and attribute to account entity of the type picklist and add static values to picklist. then simply add that attribute to Account form.
Now, if you want to create a dynamic list of countries then create a new entity names country and create a referential relationship bet. Country and Account entity. It will automatically create an attribute in account entity. Simply place that attribute at account form. Now all country entities created by you will come in.
Hope this helps,
Ayaz
Hi Shaik,
There is no supported way of doing this change in New Activity Web Dialog. although you can make some direct changes in ASPX file for that web dialog and hide some options at form load event.
Hope this helps,
Ayaz

I have a project which includes three groups:
1- Customer
2- Middle Man
3- Supplier
The requirement is to make a order flow system, where each party will be having the ability to view (and modify) the order transactions. I was looking into MS CRM for implementing this, but am stuck on the question that even if I host the CRM at the middle man premisis how could i give the customers and suppliers visibility (Interface) to the order transactions??…your comments will be highly appreciated
Hi Faisal,
Microsoft provides some accelerators to present CRM data to web (ASPX). YOu can use one of the accelerator (Portal Integration) or you can even develop your custom interface in ASPX and fetch data from CRM through IFD or CRMService webservice. Its pretty natural to CRM applications.
Portal Integration Accelerator:
http://crmaccelerators.codeplex.com/releases/view/29992
I have to use a custom web interface or this accelerator in most of my implementations and its pretty much same as native web application development. One thing to consider is licencing. Since you are exposing CRM data to non CRM users you need to buy external connector licence but it depends on your solution.
Hope this helps.
Do let me know in case you need any further assistance on this.
Regards,
Ayaz Ahmad
Hope this helps
Thanks for the prompt reply, will let you know

Hi,
I work for magicCRM Software. I noticed your blog post on customer surveys within CRM and how the data is saved outside CRM.
My company developed a new product called magicQuestionnaire. Our program is fully integrated with MS CRM Dynamics sharing the same database and interface.
If you have interest in knowing more about it, I can send you our brochure in PDF. We are still working on improving our website, but you can try our product online.
Please send me an email in case you would like me to send you the information.
Thank you

Hi Ayaz,
Iam using crm 2011. On form load of an entity ” object doesnot support this property” error is coming.
I haven’t written any javascripst and nor attached websresoures.
Need help.
Thank you
Quick question re: CRM 4.0 Online. Is there any way to hide a system button (not on a form), such as the “New” menu item when looking at a list of contacts, when the solution is deployed as an online version? (i.e. microsoft hosted site)? Seems like you would have to put the jcript function on the window.onload which works for on premise instances but how can that be done if MS is hosting files?
Hi Janice,
I am afraid its not possible in CRM 4 online. Also it requires an unsupported change to hide that new button in CRM 4 on premise.
Hi, thank you for your blog :
I’m looking for a way to restrict users view (ldap search) to their own OU on CRM 2011, is it possible ?
On CRM 4.0, it was possible -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959549
I have tried to deploy this tools (Deploymentconfigtool.exe) on my CRM 2011 infrastructure but the command not working (assembly error) so how can we do the same thing on CRM 2011 ?
Thanks
Hi Ayaz, I have a question. Can we convert a managed 2011 CRM solution to an unmanaged one?
Thanks designed for sharing such a good thought, piece of writing
is nice, thats why i have read it completely
