    - Case-management (gathering of e-mails) Tracking of emails in MS-CRM can quite fast be a badly arranged sum of mails. Is it in any way possible to make some kind of case-management? What we want is to be able to gather e-mails concerning the same case / matter in some kind of folder. Hope someone can give us a good hint to solve this. -- Charlotte Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71909

    - CRM Router will not install. Hello everyone, I am having a very strange issue. The first part of the issue is that I am unable to install the CRM Exchange Router. I am getting a "401: Unauthorized" error every time I try. The second part of the issue is that from the exchange server, I am unable to log into CRM. I get practically the same error as I get trying to install the CRM router. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark A. Bolokofsky Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71901

    - Rounding/truncating values in Reports I am building a custom report which gives a summary of the number of accounts, leads and opportunities each manager has, and a break down of the opportunities and leads (like the Account Overview report). In the opportunity and lead summary sections, I want to display the top 5 by price, and display the total estimated value, total weighted value and average estimated probability (just like the Account Overview). I have created all this and it's fine, except for the fact that it displays the monetry values with no dollar sign and 1 decimal place, and the probability value has 13 decimal places - not so nice to look at. Does anyone know how I can modify the SQL query to round these numbers appropriately (and maybe even chuck some dollar signs in)? Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71900

    - Direct Mail from grid leaves email activity open? When a case is closed, we want to use the "Send Direct E-mail" button on the grid to send a template email (the reason being that we want to send as a queue's email address instead of the current user). The mailing itself works fine, both sending as a queue and sending as the actual user, but the email, despite being sent, remains as an open activity instead of something in the History. The only way to close the email so that the case can be closed is to go in and actually click the send button... effectively making us have to send the same email twice. This can't be the expected functionality, can it? Why on earth would a sent email be treated as an open activity? Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71877

    - Deleting demo and lookup help Hi all, I'm new to crm and have questions: 1. While familiarizing ourselves with CRM and preparing to demonstrate it to people inside the company, we installed the included sample database, â??Adventure Works Cycleâ?? on our development environment. Is there an easy way to get rid of this sample data or do we need to rerun the app server installation? 2. I am trying to add a lookup field to the lead entry/edit form called â??Referring Customer.â?? It wonâ??t let me add a relationship between the lead entity and the account entity. It says I have to use custom entities for relationships (although there already is a different, built-in relationship between these entities). All I want to end up with is a lookup field similar to â??Ownerâ?? but which looks up accounts instead of employees. What is the best way to do this? Any help apprecited.

    - Changing the size of a displayed Section I know this is possible because I've done it before, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it again. I've added a new tab to an entity form (in this case leads). On this new tab, I've added a single section and within this section an Iframe. I have everything working to display the frame, but what I cannot do is expand the size of the section to cover the whole tab so that it displays as much of the iframe as possible. I have searched my books and online and cannot seem to find this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! M. Sharkey Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71866

    - CRM licenses gone - deployment mgr empty? (not a repost) I've read the various posts about authentication issues causing the deployment manager to be empty; no licenses, or users. Our CRM installation was running just fine until this morning it suddenly returned authentication errors for all users. I've checked everything over and NOTHING was changed on either the CRM box, or the off-box SQL Server. If I login to the CRM box as my domain user account (admin on the CRM box) I get an empty deployment manager. If I login as the local admin account (the account used to install CRM), I get an error saying SQL Server is unavailable. The SQL Server in question is on another box and is available. In fact, I see active connections between the CRM box and the database. Suggestions? I checked the CRM database and the SystemUserLicenses table is empty, but I think that's a red herring. The SystemUserBase table contains all the right users, as expected. David Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71861

    - Checking for entity field conditions in Workflow We have created a workflow that gets activated on the creation of a Case. In this workflow we create a Task and then wait for the Task to be marked Complete before the workflow continues. After the Task is marked complete we want to be able to check the conditon of fields associated to that Task within the Case workflow. When we attempt to use the "Check entity condition" from the Insert Condition menu item, we can check a condition for the Case but not for the Task. Is there a way to check the condition for the Task inside the Case workflow or is there a better way to accomplish this that will have the same functionality? Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71860

    - Option to Hide Inactive Contacts Hello Microsoft, I am requesting an option to be integrated into a future release of CRM. Currently (CRM 3.0) inactive Contacts are displayed when an Account record is opened, and Contacts is selected. Please implement one of the following: 1. a CRM-wide option or a user preference that would allow inactive Contacts to be hidden from the view described above. 2. display inactive contacts with a different icon or a different row background color so that there is a visual clue regarding the state of that contact. I have added the statuscode field to the Contact's Associated View - but would prefer to see the options described above to be available in CRM - so as to keep the real estate within the associated view available for more pertinent date fields.

    - MS CRM 3.0 and Outlook Contact syncing issue I have a problem with one laptop user and his ability to sync CRM data groups with his Outlook Contacts. A summary of what I've tried: Originally installed the laptop client so the user could work offline. Set up syncronizing with Outlook Contacts and some data groups but the sync locked up and I had to cancel. Retried the sync, but kept getting an error and it would never complete. The exact error is "An unknown error occurred while synchronizing the data to Outlook" - very helpful eh? :-) Uninstalled CRM and SQL, deleted all folders I could find associated with CRM and installed the CRM DESKTOP client. Discovered that the laptop client not really what we needed. Added only one of the smaller data groups to sync with Outlook (41 contacts) and tried to sync. CRM Sync Progress showed it trying to sync over 1400 contacts (possibly from the original attempt above) and then gave the error "An Unknown error..." Removed all data groups AND unchecked Contacts in syncronization so they would no longer sync. When I hit the syncronize button 1282 contacts attempt to sync an error out with the same message above. Please help. I found nothing on the MS CRM site and I posted a couple of times for a reply over the last few weeks and got no response. I believe that somewhere CRM must be holding on to the original sync attempt or it retains user setttings locally or on the server that I am unable to find and remove.

    - CRM 3.0 VSS Backup issues I have a Windows 2003 member server running Microsoft CRM 3.0 with Scribe for SQL sync. My backup (Veritas 10.0) started to fail last Thursday night when backing up the CRM server.Every night sice, the backup has failed and it has always been with the VSS service writers timing out. I downloaded a hotfix from Mircosoft that was supposed to address timeout issues but the backup failed after the hotfix patch. There has been no new software installed between the time the backup succeeded and the time it started failing. The only configuration since has been work to sync our accounting sql database to various crm fields( A vendor is doing all the CRM work). I have a feeling that something related to crm keeps the server so busy that the VSS service cannot take a snapshot in the time required. Anyone else run into this?

    - Problem running MS CRM 3.0 over SSL (https) I have setup an install of Microsoft CRM 3.0 on a high spec Windows 2003 Small Business Server and it all worked happily. I then generated an SSL certificate and applied it to the site in IIS. Initially when you load CRM (using the web client) it loads the left hand menu and navigation panes and shows the top menus and the user which is logged in however to main content area remains blank. After a time out period the error "An error has occurred. For more information, contact your system administrator" appears. The strange thing is you can navigate the menus etc and even edit the settings under 'Personalize Workspace'. Some screens do load such as Quick Campaigns, and you can create appointments. If you try and load the majority of other screens such as Account or Contact, Marketing etc you get the same error. After modifying the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MSCRM - ServerUrl value to reflect that we were now operating over https and reopening CRM we got the exact same problem but without the long delay of waiting for the error message to appear. Does anyone have any suggestions or any experience of anything happening like this before? Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71827

    - cannot insert email template for unresolved contact Hi guys, Using the Web Client of Microsoft CRM 3.0, when I am sending an email and try and insert a template and the "To" field has a "unresolved contact" (its red) I get a system error. I have tried this on three different CRM 3.0 systems and they all do it. I am wondering is this a known bug for CRM 3.0 or does anyone have a solution? I have searched the following hotfixes but couldnt find any that resolved this issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908951 Cheers Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71794

    - Workflow not Automatic Hello, I wanted to say that this is a really great forum on Microsoft CRM. I am am newbie to Mircosoft CRM. I am i nthe process of creating a workflow that Cchanges the Lead status to 'Qualified' and Assigns it to a different user, when the Rating is set to 'Hot'. I logged into CRM server as the user and created the Workflow using an If-Action condition. After saving it, I activated it. Then I logged into the client using the same User that I used in creating the workflow and created and Saved the new lead. The Rating at this time was 'Warm. Then I set the Rating to 'Hot' and saved the record. I expected the activated workflow to change the Lead status and assignment, but nothing happened. The Status never changed and neither did the assignment to nother user occoured. However, then I went to 'More Actions-> Apply Rule' and the explicitely applied the workflow, it worked. How can I make the workflow work Automatically and not manually? Thanks Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71791

    - CRM Service Sheduling multiple service activities at once We should be able to comnbine services in the service scheduling. For exemple, in truck fleet maintenance environment, often you will need to schedule an Oil Change and Change Break pads, or Oil Change and change tires.. The system should allow for scheduling both activites togheter, allowing for selecing whether the activites should be scheduled simultanneouslty or one after the other. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - CRM Service Scheduling should consider lunch and break time When scheduling a service activity of say 3 h, if a service resource is available at 10 am, he will not be considered because he as a lunch at 12:00, only 2 hours avaulable, but he is still available at 13:00 , so it should be possible to shedule the job. An option should be provided to either consider lunch/break times or not when scheduling work. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Character limitation on notes for Activities Is is true that the 2,000 character limitation on notes is a hard coded fact of life for MS CRM? Is there a way to increase this (and still maintain a working relationship with MS?) ? Thanks Rob rkershberg@gmail.com Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71788

    - Best Practice for large number of checkbox/bit attributes I am working on a deployment of CRM 3.0 for my company and one of the requirements is to track a large number of checkboxes (bit fields) for contacts. These are used to track skill sets, certifications, and other similar data. There are about 125 of these items and they could add to this list over time. Looking at this requirement from my ASP.NET background, I would easily solve this with a lookup table of "skills" with all the skills listed and allow the user to add skills and populate a "user_skills" table based on what they added. However, I just can't get my mind around how this would be done in CRM. I've tried creating a new custom entity named "Skills" with a "Skill Name" primary attribute and added a relationship between it and Contacts, but that doesn't allow me to choose from the list of skills (only add to it). I started to test the workaround to the many-to-many limitation, but that doesn't seem to be the right direction either. Plus none of the methods will allow me to use a simple checkbox interface for fast data entry. I'm not looking for a complete solution to this question, but rather just some advise on how to think about this the CRM way. One easy solution (that keeps popping in my head each time I work on this) is just to create 125 attributes in the Contacts entity and be done with it, but that just seems like really _bad_ practice.

    - Workflow to create relationships We track attendees who attend certain meetings and we do this through a contact to account relationship. Right now, we are going into each contact and creating each relationship manually. Can anyone think of an easier way to do this - it is becoming rathger time consuming. My thoughts are that workflow may be able to help. Is there a way to do relationships on a mass or bulk level? Any help woudl be greatly appreciated!! AmyC Tag: View-access to MS-CRM Tag: 71782

Is it possible to give some employees just a â??Viewâ??-access to MS-CRM â??
without having to create them as users?

No. In order to give them access to the CRM UI, they need to be a licensed
CRM user. You could write a read-only portal that pulls data from the CRM
views/tables, but you would need to build this yourself.

Hi Charlotte,

Matt is absolutely on target when he says you will need to access it
from
outside to make it possible to read data from MS CRM by making a
portal. Our
experience is that those who just need MS CRM read only access usually
need
to know about contact details and either opportunity/cases against
them.
Building up a small application either web based to run on an intranet
to
achieve this task can be possible. We recently did a basic one for our
client who used to display on web page basic information like Customer
and
its basic information as well as the opportunities/cases against them
by
connecting to MS CRM database through web services. If you need to
discuss
this further and you know what you want your "read only" users to see,
please be free to contact us and I can guide you as to how this can be
done
and what maybe the time involved.
