It's not present schema manager however there is a ProductPriceLevelBase table in the <org>_MSCRM database.

    - MSCRM Web: E-mail signature How can you get MSCRM Web version to stamp each e-mail with "signature" containing name, address & phone. It appears that you can's attach a text file "signature" without resorting to an e-mail template. This is bad - even for a 1.0 product from MS. While we are talking about e-mail probems on the e-mail client version... 2 more questions 1. Is there a "fix" for e-mails (in & out) to have the normal word wrap - instead of one continuous line? 2. The enter key returns 2 lines instead of one. Why? A shift-enter provides a single line. Any work around? Tag: Activities Tab: History Date Tag: 5040

    - Email a KB article to person as part of a Case action? *Email a KB article to person as part of a Case action?* In CRM, we would like our Customer Service and Tech Support teams to use KB articles as the source for canned knowledge that can be related to cases and shipped to that cases's contact via email--and then of course have that action tracked in the case history -- ie. Sent Email: KB article #3494. What options do we have here? (Can we have something as simple as a "send as email" button click on the KB article where we can attach it to the case and then off it goes? ) Our concern at this point is manual copy/paste/make-a-note processes. We thought about creating the canned responses in an email templates but this doesn't make sense given the number of canned responses we have. KB articles seem more appropriate.

    - Wireless I need clairification on a wireless issue and I appologize if I post this in the wrong area. If you can find the proper area to post this please let me know because I search for 1 hour already. If 2 seperate LAN systen are running. The first LAN is NOT connected to the Internet for security reasons. The second LAN is using the Wireless Microsoft MN-500 Wireless router and does have an Internet connection through High Spead cable. The IT Security team says that signal emmisions emmitted from the unshielded CAT5 wireing on LAN(1) are broadcasting inside of the wireless bubble. They also say that if a hacker (with a wireless reciever NIC) gets in into the wireless LAN (which is no doubt possible) they could then grab the packets floating around from system (1). I'm wondering if this is actually true, because if the hacker connected to the Wireless LAN , which has it's own DNS, DHCP, Gateway and Subnet can they sniff packets that might be floating around that are from an entirely different DNS, DHCP, Gateway and Subnet? Or if they have a wireless reciever NIC can they just scan within the bubble for any packets of information without needing to make a connection to a Network? I hope I explained it properly, but if you would like to help with this situation and need further details, just ask. Thanks Tag: Activities Tab: History Date Tag: 5021

If this is indeed the case, how is it possible to run a report on an indivual record?

    - CRM Product Kits? I've been looking into the whole Product and Price list area and I can't quite figure out the Kitting functionality. For example, I'm playing with the sample database and I created a new "bike", but I would like this bike to be a "Kit" of various components. So I create the "bike" product, save it, then under Actions, I click Convert to Kit. Ok, now I have "Kit Products" on the left side of my bike product and I can add various components. Great. Now my main question is, how does pricing get involved in all this? Its obviously not automatic as the price hasn't changed for my new bike that I have created. I essentially want the bike to be calculated solely on the components. Whats really sad is that in this entire sample database there is not a single kitted product. And its not documented anywhere (only how to click the kit button, big deal). How does kitting work? tia, Gary Tag: Activities Tab: History Date Tag: 4966

    - Question regarding CRM Activity I'm trying to create a new Activity in CRM Sales for Outlook, specifically an Appointment. I am trying to include another CRM user in the appointment, and would hope that CRM would notify said user via email. What happens is CRM addresses the user by his domain login, and Outlook does not properly associate any email address with this user (even though his email is set properly within Active Directory). Am I expecting too much out of CRM and Outlook? Is there some blatantly obvious configuration that I'm missing? This seems like it should be core functionality, but I'm stumped. Any input definitely appreciated. Thanks. -David Tag: Activities Tab: History Date Tag: 4923

    - Running WF Rule from Jscript Has anyone figured out how to run a WF rule from a script? I want to run a WF rule depending on the pick list value selected. I can make this work in WF using a Create rule that waits for the pick list to be a certain value. However, this will not work after the target pick list value is selected and the Rule is run. Therefore, I'd like to initiate the WF rule from script since there is not OnSave event for WF to check the pick list. Of course, the inherent danger here is user error (if the incorrect pick list value is selected, saved, and then corrected). The possibility of having 2 WFs running can bog the system. But I'll work about this after I prove its an issue. Tag: Activities Tab: History Date Tag: 4922
