    I am using Ribbon Workbench to create custom buttons in dynamics crm online. I want to create a couple of custom buttons which will be displayed on each and every page of CRM. How I can achieve this task ?

    Hi,

    Well, you will need to add multiple buttons to achieve this.

    Add a button to the 'Home' and '{!EntityPluralDisplayName}' and '{!EntityDisplayName}' (on the form ribbon) of the Application Ribbon.

    Hi Absaar,

    Could you please let me know the requirement. Do you want some generic buttons like Save?

    Regards,

    I am required to add a login & logout button on all the ribbons of all entities/dashboards. All the buttons will be doing same thing.

    Yes, that's right.

    As I mentioned, you'll need to add a button to the 'Home' and '{!EntityPluralDisplayName}' and '{!EntityDisplayName}' (on the form ribbon) of the Application Ribbon.

    You can read more about how the Application Ribbon is merged with the entity ribbons here - http://ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/102800-3-the-anatomy-of-ribbon-customisation

    I am curious though, a Login and Logon button doesn't really make sense unless you have a custom application that you are login in/out of - The standard Dynamics CRM authentication handles login/logout of CRM users.

    hth,

    Scott

    I have put the buttons in the 'Home' and '{!EntityPluralDisplayName} tabs, I can see them in workbench, I also have defined display rules for the buttons. Now the problem is that I am unable to see the buttons on the CRM, I have published the solution multiple times but still no sign of buttons'

    Hi,

    Ah that explains it - external application login/logout :)

    Where are you looking for your buttons - they should be on the Sub-grid views and the dashboard home page.

    Post your ribbon xml and I'll take a look!

    For now I am trying to put buttons on forms and home pages. I have successfully put buttons on entity record forms but on the Homepages I am still unable to put the buttons.
