Thank you note for all the readers and CRM community, I crossed 100000 hits on my blog and was read in 144 countries in the last year.

Happy CRMing!

I have been waiting for this magic number to hit soon now. I wanted to write an entry about the way the journey to write blogs on Dynamics CRM has been.

Some interesting facts about this blog and the blogger behind it here:

This is the fifth version of Dynamics CRM Product I am working on – From CRM 4.0 to CRM 2011, CRM 2013 and CRM 2013 SP1, CRM 2015 with now the work focused on CRM 2016.

It is the fourth generation of the product that this blog traverses in about 280 blogs: CRM 2011, CRM 2013 and CRM 2013 SP1, CRM 2015 and CRM 2016.

This blog is also part of 11 free tools done across CRM 2011 to CRM 2015 version having 6000+ downloads done in between them.

There are 271 followers for this blog via Twitter and Email, and another 1200 via LinkedIn.

This blog has been read in 144 countries in the world in last year itself. Dynamics CRM online and on premise 2016 is available in 130 markets and 44 languages. So, it will be interesting to know for me what the other 14 countries are.

Hope it has helped you at some point in your CRM journey.

Just leave comments in case it did, its always good to know.

Happy CRMing!

Another blog and another hidden gem in Dynamics CRM 2016.

With CRM 2016 things have changed.

Here is a sample from the default Opportunity process:

I just don’t keep getting tired of the number of hidden gems left by Microsoft to explore in CRM 2016.

Another one is the ability to finally have web resources available in the mobile and tablet forms.

Next when you add it to form please follow the below screenshot(Enable for Tablets)

Here is a mock-up on Tablet entity.

Here is a mock up from Phone:

Known issues: Referred from MSDN

• You can’t use popups for authentication or other purposes from within IFrames and web resources on CRM for tablets.
• Authentication for embedded Office 365 sites isn’t available.
• Errors and memory leaks in IFrames and web resources can cause CRM for tablets to malfunction and can cause client-side data loss.
• Microsoft Silverlight and image web resources aren’t available on CRM for tablets.

Hope it helps and Happy CRMing!
