How can I edit the Case entity ribbon to add a button?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

How can I edit the Case entity ribbon to add a button?

I'm referencing the step in Figure 26.9 from the book Microsoft Dynamics Unleashed 2016.

I need to add the Button highlighted in the picture.  However, I have a big constraint. I can't use RibbonWorkBench.

Is there any tutorial that will teach me how to add the button to the Case entity ribbon without using Ribbon Work Bench?

Thank you!

    Hi,

    You need to download case entity customization, extract and open customizations.xml in visual studio or any xml editor.

    then new need to look RibbonDiffXml tag, in this  you need to add custom action, then command definition, and any rules to show / hide button based on display rules / enable rules.

    If you are using multiple lang. in your CRM system then you need to define all display text in different lang. in LocLabels.

    Here you will get all information related to adding button and RibbonDiffXml

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg309639.aspx

    In Case you are not able to use ribbon workbench you can try some other tools like

    pragmatoolkit.codeplex.com

    crmvisualribbonedit.codeplex.com

    Also there are some examples available in MS CRM SDK.  

    Hope this will help..
