Adding custom entity to Microsoft App for Outlook - greyed out 'Activities' tickbox

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 30

Hi all!

I have a custom entity that was added before my time here and I am trying to get it to appear in the Dynamics for outlook app.

I found many articles on this and it seemed easy BUT when this custom entity was created, the Activity box was not ticked. It is way too old to restart again but the activity box is now greyed out.

Is there a way to tick this activity box now? Or is it just stuck now and we are destined to never be able to add them form outlook?

    Hi gingerclaire,

    As far as I know, there is no another way to do this. If you find it, please share it here. Good luck.

    Thank you - I was asking if there were another way to do this INSTEAD of recreating which isn't really an option for us.

    Hi gingerclaire,

    Please refer to this thread: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/microsoft-dynamics-crm-forum/392056/activities-checkbox-greyed-out 

    You need to recreate the entity and tick it.
