Include activities created by the workflow

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 11:44 AM PST

Do you have any other rules or custom apps making activities for cases? If
you have multiple rules for cases, you can use the workflow monitor to see
what is happening, or simply deactivate all other rules for a while and see
if you can get the one rule to work. If you do not have other rules, I can't
think what could be wrong. I would try a few more configurations. If you
still can't get it to work, I would open a case with MBS support. Good luck!
(And when you do get this resolved, be sure to update this thread on the
newsgroup for others to reference!)

Copying Address Fields into More Addresses Side Tabs

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 10:25 AM PST

Thanks Matt,

I am aware of the LookupAddress button.I was trying to copy a shipTo -
BillTo from the within same object (say an account object) similar in
function to the checkbox that one sees in web-based forms.(BillTo same
as ShipTo).At that point the address does not exist so a lookupaddress
would not work.
 
displays a 
that time. 

Yes I am able to access the fields in the tabs across the top of the
page..
What I wanted to know was if there is a way (in javascript)
to access those fields in the resulting detail page of the More
Addresses grid.
Similar to the way one copies some field values to a custom aspx form.

SDK bug

In this particular case I found out when we were issued a rollup hotfix that was
for several different issues. One of the things fixed was allowing the $0 price
per unit.

Unfortunately, the hotfixes are not widely publicized. Usually, you need to
open a support ticket and if there is a hotfix for that issue, they will provide
it to you.

How can I show Fields from the Contract Form on the Case Form ?

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 08:01 AM PST

Unfortunately, you can't.

Mappings only impact the initial creation of a record when it is created "from"
another record. Cases aren't created "from" a Contract so the mapping will
never fire.

You could do something with workflow & a PostURL action or a post-Callout to
process this update though if you really need it.

Hello,

I want to show the schemafield contractnumber on the case form.
I tried to add a field in the case customization.
I also mapped the field in the Deployment Manager from the schema contracts
to the schema Incidient.

The Result is a new Field on the Case Form without a value.

Does anybody know how to map Schemafields from the schema contracts to the
schema incidients.

Thanks, Sebastian Evers

Users from child business unit is having trouble accessing the crm

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 06:13 AM PST

Hi Ann,

See the time this posted, and I bet the problem has resolved on its own???

If you have data in MSCRM and you create a new role and then assign users
immediately they will be denied access in the way you describe. This is
because MSCRM has to re-write the "security descriptor" column on every
record in your DB to accommodate your new role.

You can see in your CRM Server Event log when the process is complete (an
event is written at completion).

Best practice is not to add a new role and relate users to it during
production time. TTYL. Linda

the only place you can add javascript is in piclists or dropdowns. search

Problem sending email via Exchange

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 02:31 AM PST

Gil,

I'd double check the CRM Server as well. Also, just to make sure, where is the
email being sent from, the web client or SFO?

If it's SFO, can you send from the web client? Also, is it just that one client
machine?

CRM & IBF: Doesn't pull tags properly

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 06:31 AM PST

oooh boy. I guess I'll have to 'tilt at windmills' then.

Since I posted, I've done a few things:
- I've figured out how to customize the document with a letterhead. It's
just a Word doc for things like that <grin>
- When opened outside of CRM there is a smart tag called
"CompanyNameSmartTag" that doesn't connect to anything. :(

I think a call to MS is going to be in order.

Error in Event Viewer

It is defintely possible that ISA caused some problems. One relatively easy
thing to try would be to uninstall CRM (just the app, not the databases). Then,
you can re-install it by pointing to the existing DB'a & AD hierarchy (vs.
creating new ones). This would let the install try to make things right on the
CRM server again if ISA changed something on you.

adding another options into field in the workflow manager

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 05:21 AM PST

At that point in your workflow you can point to another manual rule that says
if the status is "On Hold" then wait 15 days and fire another rule. The next
rule would say "If status equals In Progress, then create task (sales rep
confirms status of case), else send email to manager."

I've found that for a lot of these situations it is easiest for me to design
my workflow using several rules that check a condition and then perform an
action. The rules all get called in order and move to the next rule if the
condition is met or the time has expired.

By the way, CRM workflow currently does not recognize date functions...

You will need to get a 'new' key for 50 users when the additional 10 are

Adding new licenses (for the same modules/editions) are not cummulative.
