    - RE: Lead Status and Status Reason Hey there, Can't display the status/status reason records in Views AND hence Reports for Leads/Opportunities. (Column is present although no records display) Have checked the database tables and there is relevant 'Values' in the tables. Is this something inherent in version 1.0 or have I screwed something up? Also when converting a lead, if I choose to Disqualify (for which there are 3 further status options), the list automatically displays a -1 and I do not see any other options either. Can anyone help?

    - error when trying to install CRM for Outlook We got the server installed and can connect to it via the browser. When I try to install the Sales for Outlook on my workstation, I get an error "Microsoft CRM Sales for Outlook cannot find an instance of the Microsoft CRM Server components at http://<<crm-server-url>>" I can hit that same url from my browser and the CRM app comes right up. Also, when trying to import contacts from Outlook it says "Microsoft Outlook cannot be started. Verify that Outlook is installed on this computer." Searched everywhere and can't find any procedure to fix this. Any help would be appreciated. -Eric Tag: Escalation using workflow Tag: 9329

    - Great PLains the easy way We have created a POS and are trying to transfer the sales over to the Great Plains to allow our client to do things like A/R, A/P and other accounting functions. I am not going to use integration manager or econnect. I was just going to populate the sales tables myself using stored procedures. All I am going to transfer over is the sale amount, commission amount, the cost, and the sale Id and customers name and address. If I just populate a few fields in the SOP10100 and SOP10200 table is that enough. All my clients want is a way to track who owes them how much. And who they owe money to. And to accept payment and make payment. Will creating a sales record (sop10100) result in something showing up in A/R and A/P Do I have to create invoice and receivable record in addition to creating sop10100 record. What table would those be. Do I have to create any gl transactions. I notices when I tried to make a sale in great plains it ask (distribution) me which accounts should be debited and which credited) I have 10 days to do this and I don't know anything about great plains. I am trying to do the bare minimum. Can you give me some direction. Are there some stored procedure that I can just pass the sale Id and the amounts and it does all the work for me. Or at least some examples of your own stored procedures I can copy and modify. I want to pass a few sale figures over and have it create a complete A/R and A/P system. Is this unrealistic. By the way the reason I want to pass it sale id that is in my own pos is that I might need to update the sale information in great plains with changes user might have made in our pos since it was first transferred to great plains.

    - CRM with Non-AD Domain I have three servers in my company, and am looking to run CRM. Server 1 - Windows NT 4 PDC w Exchange 5.5 Server 2 - Windows 2000 Server with SQL Server 2000 and Great Plains E-Enterprise (Non-AD) Server 3 - Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services (Non-AD) I want to be able to install CRM on one of these boxes and use it with the Great Plains system. I am under the impression that I can't really use the Outlook integration unless I upgrade my Exchange to 2000. I really don't want to mess with the current layout because everything works great and I have't had any downtime in over a year. (Why mess with something that's working OK) Anyhow, what recommendations would you folks have for getting CRM into my network? Tag: Escalation using workflow Tag: 9300

    - Email router - failed to move a message Hi, We have a couple of queues that receive inbound email to support and service addresses. Yesterday, one email from a client failed to make it, but there were other messages that did, both before and after. After testing, I concluded that it was something bout that specific email. The only thing different, of substance, between ones that were forwarded and the one that failed was that the failed message had a "read receipt" request attached to it . Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Thanks, Steve Chambers Tag: Escalation using workflow Tag: 9288

    - A few customization questions Hello, I'm new to CRM and am trying to do some customizations to make it better fit our needs. I was hoping someone could provide some insight as to how possible/feasible the following changes are: 1. When a Lead is "qualified" as an Account, I'd like to automatically set some of the properties of that new Account (like the relationship type). I haven't seen a way to get at the created Account in Workflow Manager, though. How can I go about this? 2. I need to associate an Activity with a Contract Line but it doesn't look like the Activity form is available in the form customization admin section. Is there any way to customize this form? 3. Instead of creating an Order from a Quote, I'd like to create a Contract. How can I integrate a new button to the form (like the Create Order... button) and have it trigger the Contract creation? Thanks in advance for any help. Best Regards, Guenther Tag: Escalation using workflow Tag: 9263

    - Changing MSCRM "System Administrator" to another account... I have just completed the CRM 1.0 installation (after much difficulty) and everything appears to be working fine. That said, while adding users to the system, I found that my domain account has been assigned the CRM role of "System Administrator". Apparently CRM assigns this automatically based on the account used when the system was installed. Oops... Question: How (assuming it's possible) can I change the account associated with the "System Administrator" role? The reason I want to change this is that, while the CRM "System Administrator" has the omnipotent power to configure the system at will, it cannot function as a user in the conventional sense (or so it appears when I enter the system using my domain account). When in CRM logged on using my domain account, I cannot see the same functionality available to others that I have explicitly assigned CRM roles to using the Deployment Manager. Thanks in advance for any-and-all assistance. Lloyd Charlier SpatiaX Infosystems LCharlier@SpatiaX.com Tag: Escalation using workflow Tag: 9261

    - report timeout in CRM 1.2 on virtual pc (notebook) Hi, I prepared images of mscrm 1.2 for virtual pc. On two desktop machines with 1 gig of memory, everything works fine. On a -besides this very performant- notebook with same memory specs, I get timeouts in crystal report viewer (nothing is shown and after a long while, an error message shows in the "html page" where the report should be). I increased timeout value on the "microsoft crm" II server app virtual directory to ..1800 or more: No chance. Did anyone see this happen? Any hint to resolve this? It seems to me like the disk access spped, which is much slower than on desktop machines could be the culprit. BTW: The same notebook runs fine with an 1.0 image of crm! Thanks a lot!

Hi

Has anyone managed to get escalation to work in workflow?
If so how?

In particular, I am trying to write a workflow rule which
creates an Activity (phone call) to be completed and if
the owner does NOT complete it within the designated
timeframe, a follow up should be assigned to the original
person's manager.

The initial activities are fine. However, it seems that I
can wait until the activity is complete, but this is not
what I want. I need to check for failure to complete.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gill

It appears you can put a time on an object such as an account that has just
been created but not on a task within it.
