    - CRM should not display Tracking tokens, hide them! When emails are sent from an acitvity in CRM, the system appends a TRACKING TOKEN to the suject line of the email. This tracking token should not be visible to the user. You should allow a CRM administrator to turn off "System generated" messages, but leave CRM tracking of emails on. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Registration screen We installed CRM 3.0 trial on SBS2003 and purchased and installed licenses before the 90 days expired. Today, when we tried to open the CRM screen, we get the screen "The registration period for CRM has expired!" Using deployment manager, I can see my server and CAL licenses very clearly. How do I pass that screen so I can get my users back in? Thanks Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 67101

    - Problem with resolution of CRM contact emails Hi, Our system seems to have a problem with contact email addresses. When Outlook autofills CRM contact emails it sometimes does not resolve the email, only the contact name. I'm finding it difficult to replicate this problem, but some of te CRM users have definitely experienced it. Has anyone met this scenario before? (and does anyone know what to do about it???) Thanks!

    - NEWBIE: Adding New Fields to the Case Form I searched the forum but I cannot find anything answering this question? I have aded a new Attribute to the "CASE ENTITY" called "SUBSCRIPTION TYPE". "SUBSCRIPTION TYPE" is a picklist value I creaed that I wish to be able to display on the standard CASE FORM. "SUBSCRIPTION TYPE" should be a 1-To-1 field to a CASE. When I attempt to customize my standard CASE FORM by using "Add fields" I dont see my new "SUBSCRIPTION TYPE" Attribute in the list of available fields. I want to add this new field to a Tab I created on the default case form? Thanks. Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 67096

    - Customising Views I have a problem with the ability to customise views in CRM....why do they not let you set a 'before x days/weeks/months' filter, so that you can chase up companies and contacts that havent been contacted in the past? Their system view, 'Companies Not contacted in the past 6 months' is inadequate, as it doesn't filter based upon whether the contacts related to that company have been contacted. This is such a simple error, but it makes such a dfference! If anyone has any suggestions - or can point out that I'm wrong and you can easily fix this - then they'll be gladly received.

    - Can CRM do this.? Hi we are just at the point of committing to CRM 3.0 but we have a few questions which some of you may be able to answer. 1] We have various other in house sales systems. Ideally we would like visibility of this data within CRM. How easy is it to do this.? Can CRM view external SQL database data.? Biztalk has been mentioned and also the 'build in' CRM web services. If this is possible, can 'matching' (i.e. John Smith at Microsoft in CRM / J Smith at Microsoft in another system) be done to group these records.? 2] We'd also like to report on this external data. We will be using SRS. How possible / easy is this. 3] Deduplication.! Can the data in CRM be deduped both at runtime (record entry) or in batch. Is manipulating data directly in the tables possible / supported by Microsoft. 4] We need to transfer data into CRM from our existing SQL based system. Are there utilities within CRM to do this. If not, how is it done? many thanks Chubbly Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 67065

    - Add contact lookup to custom attribute Hi, I have added a custom attribute of nvarchar(100) and placed it on the the opportunity entity. I want to store a contact fullname in this field using a lookup to the contact records. After a bit of reading I got the impression I could do this with a relationship mapping but it won't let me map the fullname attribute from contacts to my new attribute. It says it must be the same type and the target must be equal or longer and not mapped anywhere else. Here is the problem. fullname is 160 characters long and the limit on my new attribute is 100. Am I on the right track here or is there something I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers, Rob Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 67060

    - Rearranging fields after hidding them With simple Javascript we are able to hide fields from a form. However, the fields which are still shown on the form are not realligned. For example we might have the following scenario: Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 2 should not be shown on certain conditions. So, in the onLoad() event of the form we hide this field. This will result in the following: Field 1 Field 3 With an empty space between Field 1 and Field 3. Is there a way to bypass this issue ?

    - CRM should let you change a product's unit group It is impossible to change a product's unit group once a product has been created.As a result, if you don't get this aspect of your system configured correctly at the start, it is very very hard to correct it down the road. I realize that the unit group permeates the entire database schema, but it should still be possible to change it without deleting the product altogether. Deleting the product and re-adding it is not usually an acceptable option for a mission critical system that has been in use for a few years. Hopefully you can find a way to let us change the unit group in future versions!!

    - Having account inherit child entity of lead upon conversion Hi All, I am new to this group so forgive me if this is an easy one. I am creating a custom entity on the lead and when we convert the lead to the account, I want the newly created account to inherit that entity and its contents where it was related to that specific lead. Example: Lead: John Smith has the custom entity 'services' related to him. There are 3 records of services related to Johm, i.e. Phone, DSL, Satellite. When I convert John to an account, i want John's account to have the three services in their exact form related to the account. I also need to come up with some way to 'remove' the services entity from John Smith the lead, or disable them, so that there are no confusing duplications. THANKS!

    - How to disallow creating Sales Order from Opportunity? In CRM, you can create a new sales order directly from an opportunity record or even from scratch. Since both the opportunity field and the quote field are mandatory, user will be required to specify them. However, it leaves too much room for potential data integrity error since a quote is already associated with an opportunity, but user could possibly pick a quote and an opportunity simply not related to each other. How do you address this problem? Thanks. Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 67002

    - Queues and Owners Hi All, I have perhaps a basic question about queues that I hope someone could answer. We are an accounting firm, and we are hoping that CRM 3 can help us track our various activities better and more efficiently. I have customized the Sales Activity Entity for this purpose. The goal is to track our work by user (e.g., tax returns, bookkeeping, payroll processing, etc.) However, I would also like to be able to track it by queue. In other words, I would like to be able to track the status of work by user (or client by selecting them and their active work). But I would also like to see the status of work activities by queues. I have setup the following queues: 1) Tax Returns Queue 2) Accounting Queue 3) Payroll Queue 4) Fax Queue (note: will be used down the line, but not at the moment) When entering a Sales Activity entry, I would like to allow the data inputer to select which queue it should be assigned. The Resources field is used to determine who will be working on the activity. It seems like the Sales Activity has to be saved first, then re-opened to assign to a queue. I would rather to limit the steps and assign a queue at time of data input. Is this possible? Thanks in adavance, Larry Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 66992

    - Specifying allotments in a contract line I have a problem being able to specify the allotments for a service (based on hours as the base unit) in a contract line. The field for specifying the number of hours for a contract line is greyed out, and is automatically allocated 1 hour on save. I think this is because I have set-up the product incorrectly, but have been unable to find enough info on how this should be done. What I have done is the following: 1. Set up a product called service. 2. Given the service a base unit of hours. 3. Used a service template called Service for the contract. What I am trying to do is the following: A contract for a client consists of X hours of service per annum, purchased on anniversary. I want to be able to track the number of hours each customer has remaining after dealing with their queries (using a 'case' in CRM). Unfortunately CRM does not let me specify how many hours to allot to a contract line. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 66964

    - Should I switch from ACT to Microsoft CRM? We are currently using ACT professional for our crm. The Windows version is great but our sales team have to use the web version which they access via our VPN. This is incredibly slow so we are looking at switching to Dynamics CRM. The reason for this is that we all use and like Outlook and we are hoping that by using Outlook web access, the performance will be significantly faster for our sales teams at various locations. Does anyone have any experience on the speed and performance of using Dynamics CRM with Outlook web access? Also, has anyone migrated from ACT to CRM and do they have any advice or problems that we should look out for? Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 66962

    - Tracking Emails from Public Folders I would like to use "Track in CRM" on emails in Public Folders just as I do on emails in my own mailbox. Does anyone how that can be done? Tag: CRM Address Book in Outlook-Missing Contacts Tag: 66961

If I open my Address Book while in Word or Outlook and choose CRM Accounts
from "Show Names From" dialog box quite a few Accounts are missing even
though I sync, go online or offline and close the web client. What controls
the population of this address book?

Thanks, Lloyd

Two things: access to the instance data and an email address on that
instance. Items in the address book must have an email address or Outlook
won't show them (so the AB doesn't download them). Plus, CRM security kicks
in as you would expect.
