    Doing research on migrating from CRM 4 on-premise to CRM 2011 online.  I went to create a custom field on an entity and noticed that the prefix was set to 'new_'.  In our on-premise install we have set this prefix to 'custom_' .  I can't seem to find where you change this in CRM 2011 online??  Is it not possible to change this?

    In CRM 2011 prefix value is set into the Publisher information and it will be only affected for new customizations. During CRM ogranization setup CRM creates a Default Publiser (i.e. Default Publisher for <ORGNAME>) record so if you will customize the system from Settings->Customization->CUstomizations->Customize the System (Default Solution) then the prefix value of Default Publisher will be used or if you will customize by opening Solution from Settings->Customization->Customizations->Solutions then solution related publisher prefix value wil be used. To change the prefix value in CRM go to Settings->Customization->CUstomizations->Publisher, double click on the publisher record, enter prefix value as per required and save record.
