CRM 2013: Adding Attachment to Posts

Hello,
I am cresting a new entity will serve the following purpose
a) Save the internal conversations (with attachment)
b) Save conversation between the agent and customer (with attachment)
Now for "a" - I can use the "Notes".
for "b" - I would like use the posts - but there are 2 problems
I) I can not add an attachment
II) The character limitation of 1000
Could anyone kindly advise of ways (configuration or code) to resolve the 2 problems?
Thanks,
Hasib

Hello Andrii,
I am not sure if your reply got chopped off. But as I mentioned I am already creating a custom entity - that is not my problem. My problem is for posts
I) I can not add an attachment
II) The character limitation of 1000
Could anyone kindly advise of ways (configuration or code) to resolve the 2 problems?
Thanks,
Hasib

Duplicate posts on personal wall in MS CRM 2013

Hi,
We are currently facing a strange issue on a recent MS CRM 2013 deployment. Every post gets repeated on the user's personal wall. i.e. if a user enters a phone call, the wall displays 2 identical posts regarding the activity.What could be the reason and
how can it be resolved?
Thanks
Rinish R

Hello rinish,
if i understand your problem well, i'd say Rocky answered the question here:

Go into Default solution, click on SDK Message Processing Steps (in the left column) and disable duplicate steps.
Worked for my organization.

Hi Ravi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error "Object required" when you try to add attachment to list in SharePoint 2013.
For your issue, you can refer to the blog:

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

Dynamically Populated Option Sets in CRM 2013

Hello,
In my solution, I have an entity with an option set attribute that has no option values by default. A script in the entity form handles the population of the option set dropdown via .addOption. The displayed value of the attribute shows blank or "--"
(for CRM 2013). The expected behavior is that when the user selects an item in the dropdown, the field value changes and then displays the selected value. Another attribute (single line of text) then gets that value for later use. This works just fine in CRM
2011.
However, in CRM 2013, selecting a value in the dropdown does not change the displayed value of the field. Putting focus again on the dropdown shows that the default value (blank) is selected (or nothing is selected).
I tried to modify the field value using Xrm.Page/Entity and even JQuery directly on elements to at least to display the selected text, change some attributes, etc. None of this works. It should be noted that when attaching a "change" handler in
JQuery to the dropdown, it fires. When specifying a change handler for the field in the form properties, it does not fire.
I have another idea involving creating a workflow that runs periodically or another server process/plugin to dynamically populate a global option set, and then point my entity's option set attribute to that option set. If you're wondering why a workflow,
the attribute is supposed to be a list of all existing entity names in the current default solution. If for some reason entities are added/removed from the solution, my option set needs to be brought up-to-date.
Before going down this road, I'm wondering if any of you have encountered this and how you got around it.
Thanks!

Hello Mahender
As Rod mentioned in his query, the option set attribute is supposed to be a list of all existing entity names in the current CRM organization . If for some reason entities are added/removed from the organization, the option set needs to be updated.
Hence we created a blank option set attribute. Now, OnLoad of the form, we populate the option set using .addOption() method. This populates the option set, but on selection change, attribute's OnChange() is not getting triggered and also, the selected value
is not visible on form.
Below is an example of what we are trying to achieve
http://www.powerobjects.com/blog/2012/01/25/microsoft-dynamics-crm-and-dynamic-option-sets/
I hope I am able to explain my query in detail here.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Dynamics CRM 2013 : Offline capability with Outlook Plugin

Dear all,
I have a scenario where I have to use the Offline Capability feature of Dynamics CRM 2013 with CRM Client for Outlook plugins.
Can I use the offline capability mode if all my users are using gmail as their email?
If so, can someone guide me please.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks & regards
Vinay

You need to change page size in order to see the on button. try Ctrl+0
Regards Faisal
Thanks Faisal for your reply. I tried Ctrl+0 (zero) but no difference. I think Ctrl+0 is for clearing the zoom in/out effect in web pages. While this tool is a windows (desktop) application.
Please note that I have taken the snap (attached in original post) after maximizing the
Update Assembly dialog (by double clicking the title bar area.
The version of the Plugin Registration Tool is 6.1.1.1143 64bit. If you can check your Plugin Registration Tool version and post the snapshot as well?

CRM 2013 - Quote product inline edit view - No editable unit price?

In CRM 2011, my customer was able to add products to a quote and still edit the price per unit for the selected product.
Doing this, the default price per unit was NOT affected on the product card itself.
This was a good functionality since their prices change every day, so their default price per unit on a product is € 1.
When creating a quote, they'd just enter the price per unit, per product, real time.
The good thing about CRM 2013 is that they can add products easy with the new grid.
First problem is, when adding a product and clicking on the find button, CRM shows only 10 products??
There are over 100 products in CRM, so they have to scroll down and then click on 'search more records'..
Too much clicking!
But the main problem is that they can't edit the price per unit anymore, on the quote itself, for the selected product:
The product grid is awesome: quick & easy to add products, but we need to be able to change the price per unit.
Even when we use the form 'products', we can't edit the price per unit anymore.
Is there a way to fix this?
I went looking in the field list of quoteproducts, there's a field names price per unit.
The description says it's meant to edit the price per unit, but we can't edit it anywhere but on the product card itself..
What am I overlooking?
*edit*
I found this this thread:
https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/p/123743/264373.aspx
Where they post a link to this:
http://www.magnetismsolutions.com/blog/colinmaitland/2012/10/08/pricing_products_part_11_override_pricing_privileges
That was, fyi, how it worked in CRM 2011, they could override the price...
Now, I can't find a form where I can change the price per unit :/
Not on the new grid, and not on the quote products form.

Hi,
Doesn't anyone have a solution for the above? This is a real problem for several customers of ours. We know how to "fix" this by putting a price of 1 EUR and then changing the quantity, but that is stupid to say the least.

Error while installing the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Report Authoring Extension set up

HI Experts,
I am trying to install Report Authoring extension tool to work with MS CRM 2015 online reports but unable to install, getting below error even though I am having VS 2013, SQL Server 2014 and Data tools for VS 2013 installed on my machine.
Please help me to fix this issue.
When I double click the error getting below error.
Error : Business Intelligence Development Studio is not installed for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.
When I click the details , getting below error.
Thanks
Baji Rahaman

The Report Authoring Extensions (any version) don't support VS 2013. Currently the Crm 2015 Report Authoring Extensions support VS 2012 and VS 2010, and the Crm 2013 Report Authoring Extensions supports only VS 2010.
By the way, the error you posted suggests you're trying to install the Crm 2011 Report Authoring Extensions

The Report Authoring Extensions (any version) don't support VS 2013. Currently the Crm 2015 Report Authoring Extensions support VS 2012 and VS 2010, and the Crm 2013 Report Authoring Extensions supports only VS 2010.
By the way, the error you posted suggests you're trying to install the Crm 2011 Report Authoring Extensions

Best practice for developing with CRM 2013 (On Premises)

Hello all. I'm just starting to work with CRM, and I have some questions that hopefully will be simple for the seasoned developers. It's mostly just some best practice or general how-to questions for the group.
- When creating a new Visual Studio CRM Project I can connect to my CRM Instance and create new WebResources which deploy to the CRM instance just fine, but how can I pull all the existing items that are in the CRM Solution into the Visual Studio CRM project?
Or do I need to export the solution to a ZIP, expand it with SolutionPackager.exe, then copy these into my Visual Studio project to get it into sync?
- When multiple developers are working on changes is it best to keep everything in a Visual Studio project as I mentioned above, or is it better for everyone to have their own instance of CRM to code with so they can Export/Import solutions as needed then
these solutions be manually merged before moving into a common Test/QA environment?
- When modifying the submenu on a CRM form is it suggested to use Ribbon Workbench or is it better/easier to just export the solution, expand it with SolutionPackager.exe, modify ribbondiff and anything else required for the change, package it
back up, then reimport to CRM? I've heard from some that Ribbon Workbench has some limitations, but being green I wasn't sure what those limitations might be or if it'd be best to just manually make these changes. Or is thre any way to have a copy
of ribbondiff in Visual Studio and deploy this without having to repackage the Solution and Import in the ZIP?
I think that's it for now :) Thanks for any advise or suggestions. I really want to start learning the in's and out's of CRM and how all the pieces fit together. Also can someone direct me to some documentation or books that might give
more insight on developing for CRM 2013 or 2015 (moving to this soon)?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Sam
Also interested in best practice around this area - especially recommended development routes, unit testing, continuous integration etc - it would be great if you posted here if you find any good articles etc. At the moment we tend to just push changes
onto a live system as and when appropriate and I'd prefer to move away from that...
Thanks
Stuart

CRM 2013 Opening salesorder record results in blank page

I am using CRM 2013 on-premise and I'm having an issue viewing Order records. I can see the list of Active Orders, but when I click an Order record to open it, I get a blank page.
I have tried the following to fix this:
Cleared my cookies and cache
Navigated to another Org under the same URL
IIS reset on the web site
Full server reboot
I have found several posts saying this is a known bug in CRM 2013 and the "fixes" were the items listed above. Has anyone else run into this issue and not been able to resolve using the aforementioned work-arounds?
I also get an additional error when I try to navigate away from the blank page:

Open a PDF from where:
saved locally on the computer?
from an online link?
If from an online link, I have seen the same before. This usually occurs if the server where the document is located is very slow. Retrying (F5) usually resolves the problem.
P.S. the latest secure version of Reader 7x is 7.1.4!

Error in "APPROVE EMAIL" of Users in CRM 2013.

Hi,
I have created users in my OOTB On-premise organization of MS CRM 2013. Getting below error while approving email of Users:
There are encrypted fields in the organization database, but the data encryption feature isn't activated. Contact your Microsoft Dynamics CRM system administrator to activate data encryption. To activate, go to Systems Settings > Data Management > Data
Encryption. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=316366
I tried to activate Data Encryption from Data Management(as mentioned in this error), then getting below error:
Error
The HTTPS protocol is required for this type of request. Enable the HTTPS protocol and try again. For more information, see the Post-Installation and Configuration instructions.
Please help.
Thanks.
Regards, Devendra V.

Please refer to this post from Magnetism,

It definitely resolves the issue.
