Example Uses of iframes?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 410

Hi,

I was wondering if people could give some examples of how an Iframe can/has been used to better their sites?

I sort of see it as that I can show other websites right on my page, but unless you create a very custom webpage tool -- it doesn't seem that useful?

Thoughts? I want to make sure I am not missing anything major that could be useful to our staff.

Potential ideas:

iframe to embed other microsoft services, like sharepoint

iframe to show other crm records (not sure in what way would you display though)

    You can render inline reports on a form using iframes.

    I've used them primarily as a way to display content from an existing web app. For example, I worked with a company who uses Zendesk and they wanted Zendesk content to appear on various CRM forms in the native UI.

    If you need to present data in a way that CRM doesn't provide through form configuration, then I would first determine whether you can create the custom page using a CRM HTML web resource. You can use KendoUI and other libraries so a lot can be done with these. Alternatively, you can create an ASP.NET, PHP or other web app and present it within an IFRAME.
