ISV Customizations -- Add Item to Navigation Pane in Sales Area

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Is there a way for me to use the ISV.Config.XML file (or by other means) to
create a new item in the left Navigation Pane of the Sales Area?

Or possibly create a New area with its own custom Navigation Pane items?

The new Navigation Pane item would load an externally hosted web page right
into the Microsoft CRM environment. Is that possible?

Thanks so much for your consideration,

Robyn

You should use the sitemap for this.

1. Export the sitemap, by using the Export Customization option.
2. Modify the sitemap
3. Import the modified sitemap.

Check the SDK for more details...

If you mean the Sales area in the left pane on the main crm screen you can
add items to this using the sitemap in the CRM 3.0 SDK there is a section
with information on how to modify the sitemap (Client Programming Guide >
Navigation Configuration: SiteMap)

Ah, the sitemap. I guess I'm still stuck in the 2.0 ISV.config. Thank you!
