Interactive dashboard with stream of a custom entity?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BusyIntelligence 560

Hi, I think I need help.
Thing is, I have a custom entity. I've created a couple of charts and one regular view (active records). 
All's fine with those.

Now I want to create an interactive dashboard on this entity. 
Here my problem starts. When I add the regular view to the dashboard as a stream, I receive an error (0x80041103 Query Builder Error).
I can show the data as a tile or as charts without a problem.

For what I found on the web this is because the stream needs a field named "name". But a field with the technical name "name" is only available on OOB entities.
On customer entities it will be something like "new_name", depending on your settings, but never just "name".

Or am I wrong and can I create a field without the prefix?

Or, is my conclusion wrong and is some other thing causing my dashboard to the error?

Would be lovely if someone could advise on this.

Kind regards,
Maurits

    This doesn't exactly answer your question but you can (programmatically) create an attribute called "name" you just can't do it within Dynamics 365's front end.

    Attribute = new StringAttributeMetadata
                {
                    SchemaName = "name",
                    RequiredLevel = new AttributeRequiredLevelManagedProperty(AttributeRequiredLevel.None),
                    MaxLength = 100,
                    FormatName = StringFormatName.Text,
                    DisplayName = new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Label(" Name", 1033),
                    Description = new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Label("The primary attribute for the entity.", 1033)
                }
