Changing prefix

I recently attended CRMUG Focus17 and learned LOTS! One thing I learned was that we should change the prefix from new_ to something unique to our company.

1. Can I do this on a go-forward basis, or would all of our current customized fields and entities need to be revised as well?

2. How do you do change the prefix?

Thank you!!

RE: Changing prefix

Hi Barbara,

You can do this on a go-forward basis.

CRM does not provide OOB to change the prefix for existing customizations. So let the old customization be there, now on use company specific prefix.

RE: Changing prefix

Hi

You cannot change (using the interface) the prefix for the existing fields and entities. So, you can use a different prefix for the newly created fields and entities.

You can change the prefix and the optionset value prefix by modifying the default publisher or creating a new publisher.

Open the solution (information) and change the publisher to the newly created publisher.

Please refer the following (Solution Publisher section):
