    Hey All,

    Client using Dynamics online is looking for a way to flag activities as "year end related".  This is really another field to filter on, and nothing crazy.  However, in saying that, I need to figure out how to implement this.  Now I figure I could just add a field to each of the activities themselves and then filter on them as required, but I am having a brain melt on how to best implement this within Outlook when users hit track and regarding using the Outlook client. 

    So there is the question.  How do I implement a way to "flag" and email in Outlook as "Year end related" and have that transfer to CRM?

    Thanks for any help you give.

    Cheers.

    There's no way to modify what happens when a user tracks an activity in Outlook - i.e. you cannot add any custom fields to be set in CRM during this process.

    I can't think of a good way to do this solely from Outlook. You might be able to add a custom button in Outlook that modifies one of the fields that does go to CRM (maybe add a suffix onto the subject), and have a plugin in CRM that picks this up and sets your field, but it feels a bit clunky
