I have been trying to place it, using the Workbench, but unable to get the button to show up in the required toolbar/ribbon. Can someone please help.
Hello SYA,
Hi
Users can add a button in the ribbon of CRM using Ribbon Workbench
Follow the below steps to add the button:
To add custom button in account,contact and Lead , you need to add button individually in 3 of the entity.
Step 1: Install the Ribbon Workbench solution into the CRM.
Step 2: Open the solution in the Ribbon Workbench where the account entity exists.
➢ Go to Settings > Customizations. Here, click on Ribbon Workbench.
It will show all the unmanaged solutions. Here, we have a solution named Meeting, in which we have added an Account Entity. So it will open the Meeting solution in Ribbon Workbench.
➢ Select Meeting and click on the OK button.
➢ It will take time to load the Meeting solution.
Step 3: After it loads the solution, select Account from the Entity dropdown.
Step 4: Now add a Button in the Form.
➢ From the Toolbox, drag BUTTON into the form area of the account entity.
Follow the blog to add button in entity.
Hi,
You can add similar button with same action in the Application Ribbon area but using application ribbon you could only see the button in the Home grid area. In addition you need to add rule to hide the button if you don't need to display some entities .
So its better to create a different button for each entity forms /Grid/Subgrid and use the same JS action.
Hi,
You need to add the button manually for all entities one by one. I don't think you can add a common button for all entities at once as each entity will have its own form ribbon/command. You can refer the above shared links on how to add the button.
Hope this helps.
