Ticker Symbol Field in MS CRM




Ticker Symbol is the new feature we are having in MS CRM 2015. This is very useful when we want to navigate the link to respective stocks.


Ticker Symbol:   This creates a stock ticker symbol in all capital letters. Click the symbol to open information about the stock in the user's default browser. By default, the MSN website opens.


Below is the small screen I have developed, and entered Ticker Symbol as “GE”. When I click on this link, it will navigate you to second screen which will have all stock’s related information of GE

Duplicate detection rules in MS CRM

Maintaining the unique information in database is very crucial. Before, creating a record, we generally check whether same record is exist or not in database, if not we are allowing user to insert the record. For this we are generally writing custom code.

MS CRM has a feature called Duplicate detection. We can configure this feature by creating duplicate detection rules.

Scenario: I have a custom entity called State. And, I would like to create a duplicate detection rule on this entity such that same state name cannot be inserted into the system.



For this requirement, I have to create a duplicate detection rule first. Below is the navigation path to duplicate detection rules


MS CRM - > Settings - > Data Management -> Duplicate Detection Rules -> New

Screen will be looks like below






















Because of my duplicate detection on same entity, both Base Record Type and Matching Record Type pointing to same entity (in this case - State)


We can put condition whether Case sensitive should be consider while duplicate check by select or un-select “Case-sensitive” field. By default it is No. i.e it will not take Case-sensitive into consideration.


And, we can put condition whether duplicate detection rules should consider inactive records or not by selecting “Exclude inactive matching records” field. By default it is unselected. i.e it will consider inactive records.


And, when it comes to fields

I kept Name field criteria should be “Exact Match” and kept “Ignore Blank Values” as Selected. So it will looking for exact match with in Name fields. If it finds the field it will alert you with a screen which will contains all the matching records as shown in below screen



















Now, it is up to the user like

1. User will cancel the current record and edit

Action name is not appearing or available in Plugin Registration tool MS CRM

Actions are the new concepts we are having in latest versions of MS CRM. Beauty of actions are we can call actions from Javascript or plugin. For, this we need to register our action in Plugin Registration tool against the entity on which action should execute.

Sometime, action name will not be appear or available in Plug-in Registration tool, for this we need to re-open the plug-in registration tool i.e, close the tool and reopen it.
