Hiding Collaborate,Process and Data group from Contact Entity in CRM 2011

Hi,

 we could make use of following xml definition for that

Hides from Grid

<HideCustomAction Location=”Mscrm.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.ExportData” HideActionId=”Sample.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.ExportData.HideAction”/>
<HideCustomAction Location=”Mscrm.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.Collaborate” HideActionId=”Sample.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.Collaborate.HideAction”/>
<HideCustomAction Location=”Mscrm.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.Workflow” HideActionId=”Sample.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.Workflow.HideAction”/>

Hides from form
<HideCustomAction Location=”Mscrm.Form.contact.MainTab.ExportData” HideActionId=”Mscrm.Form.contact.MainTab.ExportData.HideAction”/>
<HideCustomAction Location=”Mscrm.Form.contact.MainTab.Collaborate” HideActionId=”Mscrm.Form.contact.MainTab.Collaborate.HideAction”/>
<HideCustomAction Location=”Mscrm.Form.contact.MainTab.Workflow” HideActionId=”Mscrm.Form.contact.MainTab.Workflow.HideAction”/>

We can get the Location value from the following sample code of sdk

…….\sdk\samplecode\cs\client\ribbon\exportribbonxml\exportedribbonxml

Hope it helps !
