Where is CRM 2013 Equivalent to CRM 2011 File > Properties Dialog? RRS feed

  • Question

  • In CRM 2011 (& previous releases), when displaying an entity form, you could click File > Properties to display the created on, last modified on & security permissions for the current record. This seems to have disappeared in CRM 2013. Yes, you could add the 2 fields, but you can't see the permissions. Is there any way to bring back this useful help desk/diagnostic function?

  • The File menu is no longer accessible - you can get access to the page still using a url something like:
    https://<org>.crm4.dynamics.com/_forms/properties/properties.aspx?id=%7b<Record ID>%7d&objTypeCode=<Object Type code e.g. 1 for Account, 2 for Contact etc.>

    You could create a Ribbon Button to show this page.

    Hope this helps,
    Scott

  • Hi,

    you Need to give the users permissions to read the "Publisher". You can find it in the customization tab of the security role

    Hope that helps,
