How to change Emails view in history tab in Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Most CRM clients would like to view emails in the entity history tab. The history tab purpose is to present all closed activities. By default this view look like that:

image

As you can see there are many fields that are not needed in emails view such priority, due date and activity status. Also, when we track many emails, it is difficult to locate the email that we are looking. We can add the activity description column ,which is the email body to the view ,which will enable us to view emails body as a tool tip without the need to open each email!

To modify this view we go to the closed activities associated view (from setting - customization - custom entities - Activity) :

image

We remove from this view all the fields that we don't need and we add the Description field which contains the email body! We may like to change the column width property to 200 or 300 pixels.

image

We publish the updated view and now when we go to the history tab of any entity we can put the mouse on the description column and view the text in the email body as a tool tip without needing to open the email! this can allow us to locate easily emails!

See example:

How to send emails right to left from Microsoft CRM via Exchange

In Microsoft CRM when working with right to left languages such as Hebrew, by default emails from CRM are sent by Exchange as plain text emails. This causes problems when sending emails with languages that are aligned to Right.

The most easy way to solve this issue is to create the email text in Word and copy the text from Word to the email in the CRM. By doing so, the hidden tags that are in word are copied to the CRM, so the CRM knows the email direction. Another way to solve this issue is to go to the Exchange system manager.

1. Open the Exchange system manager

1-systemManager 

2. Go to Internet message format in Global Settings

2-globalsetting

3. Set the message format to HTML.

3-properties

This should solve the issue. Good luck.

How to start a workflow in Sharepoint whenever a field value is changed

Technorati Tags: ,,

Sharepoint designer can start a workflow manually, when a new line is created or when any change in the list item is done. Many times, we like to start the workflow only when a specific field in the list is changed for example, we would like to start a workflow whenever the item status is changed.

img1

The solution for this business requirement can be very simple. We can create a special field for the sharepoint designer workflow usage only, start the workflow on any change in the item, and start the workflow with a condition that if our "system" field <> status (a sample for the field that we want to start the workflow when it is changed).

1. Create a new text field from the list settings in Sharepoint.

2. Open a new workflow in Sharepoint designer and select that the workflow starts on any change.

3. Start the workflow by a condition if old status <> status Then

4. The first action after we get into the condition is to set old status = status, so the next change in the item that is not related to the status will not triggered the workflow.
